Think the older you get, the less inhibitions you have?
At least I do think so since these days, I don't really care a fuck about what most people think, well apart from a select few of my friends and family. The rest I could easily say go hang since it's more likely they don't really care all that much about me anyhow.
Yes, kids. Sadly all those people out there don't really care about you.
But I digress.
The growing lack of self-consciousness extends to most other parts of my life as well. Honestly even stripping at the gym or the pool seems less fraught with stranger danger these days. Don't even really care if there's an entire jock crowd downing protein shakes in the locker room, I'd just strip all the way down to change. I'll admit to a bit more trepidation as a high school student way back when. Wouldn't know if that's a side effect of the physician's life seeing everyone naked every on in a while or perhaps growing older and caring less what others think. Maybe a bit of both.
So when I'm back at the hotel at a late hour of the night and I know the pool's perfectly empty... I really see no point in digging through the mess of my suitcase ( yes, yes I do toss everything in ) for my swimtrunks.
Why bother when I can just slip into the remarkably cool waters of the pool after an entire day of tropical burn in my workwear? A though that comes to my mind each time I walk by an unoccupied pool in the later hours of the evening. Far from a dedicated nudist that's for sure - so I usually glance surreptitious around quickly to make sure no one else was around, then chuck my clothes to the side before just slipping in.
Fortunately, also thanks to my work, I'm super efficient at getting changed, whether in or out.
And hey, even if an inadvertent guest or worker happens to stumble by, they usually assume you're somehow dressed in trunks. Or perhaps skin coloured trunks.
Few would suspect otherwise.

LOL... I think I stopped worrying when it dawned upon me that no amount of looking at me can affect or change me... unlike sticks and stones. So this is my body... look all you want... this is what it is...
Before going au naturel, perhaps it would also be good to have a close inspection of the surroundings for any CCTVs. You never know where the pool management guys have decided to place their 'eyes'.
