I didn't say I'm going, I asked in general.
and for the record I am not afraid of men touching me I just think it's inappropriate.

If you weren't a little interested in going, you wouldn't be asking the question.

Can you live in a frum nudist colony? Would you be allowed to go about in the buff because that's the minhag hamakom (or would you need at least seamed stockings)?

You really need to calm down before you bust a blood vessel. Is it possible that the question being posed refers to someone else and not necessarily the person asking the question? If it makes you feel better, why not pose the question as follows: Can you go to a place, for example like a treif restaurant, if you're having a business meeting? Now granted the people in the restaurant should be wearing clothes but can you go somewhere where you know that the people or place may not be the most proper?

Sure I don't see the problem. Nudity is about being free and comfortable with your body. Since it's not a sexual thing, I doubt tznius should apply here.

Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable as a frum person talking to someone with no clothes on? (a little over dressed?)
