Nude Jogger Will Miss 'Liberating Feeling' Now That He Has To Run Clothed

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A man whose habit of jogging in a park wearing nothing but a pair of running shoes said he would keep his clothes on after he was fined $95 for indecent exposure.

Darryl Delacruz, a Silicon Valley engineer, said he would miss the "liberating feeling" of running naked in Fremont Older Open Space Preserve. But he conceded his personal comfort was less important than the discomfort he caused others.

"I'll go back, but I'll be wearing clothes," he said. "I don't want people to have the wrong impression."

After other park users complained about Delacruz streaking, park rangers kept an eye out for him and finally caught him in the buff Jan. 9. People are allowed to sunbathe naked in the park, but only out of eyeshot of others.

"We don't see it as appropriate behavior," said Kerry Carlson, president of the Midpeninsula Rangers Peace Officers Association. "A significant number of people feel uncomfortable with a nude person running around."

Delacruz, 43, said his preferred jogging attire was "about getting in touch with nature, not meeting people."

1. Good. Why would he think that anyone wants to see his nasty old

ass? And bouncing, flapping junk? :eyes:

2. Now I'm curious if that would be uncomfortable or not

That does it. Naked treadmill tonight.

3. Our tactics for liberating Iraq were ALL WRONG.

We just needed to get everybody content, naked, and jogging.

4. One word: kilt. -nt

5. I have a question for the guys

So it doesn't hurt to have your genitals bouncing around when running? That's not very fair since the boob bounce we get from running hurts like hell.

6. We need support

Hence the supporters (which I haven't worn in years) and unisex shorts. Not so much for the penis I guess, but for the testicles.

7. It's not that uncomfortable

I do it once a year at a nearby nudist resort. I don't run very fast though.

8. An ex of mine...

tried to go running in some very loose shorts with no support -- he got a ball caught between his legs midstride and was on his knees really quickly!

Maybe successful nude jogging is all about the sac side. :shrug:

9. I run on some cold days...

...that could be quite embarrassing, to say the very least.
