A few years after my modelling career, I had to visit an old family friend down south. My wife couldn't come with me. So I immediately figured I could take advantage of being alone to get in some naked time.
I checked before I left and found a few beaches in the area that appeared to be somewhat secluded, but I could find no nude beaches. However you never know until you get there.
Also, in the intervening years, I had been searching websites to get ideas on where, how and when to be naked. My costume party intrigued me as how I could once again be naked or nearly so in a public setting.
I came across a website for men's bathing suits that had practically no coverage. I saw a tiny bikini that was nothing more than a elastic string at the waist and pouch that held your dick and balls. There was another that was just a pouch - no string at all.
I toyed around with buying one, but decided to see if I could make the string "bathing suit" before I invested just to see what it looked like. My wife likes to sew and so she had many sewing supplies around, one of which was an elastic string. I used that as a waistband. I had some gauze material left over from a minor operation that I had had. I sewed a pouch from the gauze material and attached it to the elastic waistband and used another elastic string to tie the bottom of the pouch up the crack in my butt to the back of the waistband. It actually looked OK.
However, in my naked craving, the tiny elastic string was just too much coverage for me. I adopted the motto - "no tan lines"
