I like to go to Playlinda Beach when I can. Most of the time I go with friends, but the other day I went by myself. Problem, I didn't have any way of putting suntan lotion on my back so I kept my tee-shirt on. Would it have been out of line to ask a stranger to do it for me? Ladies, would you feel out of place if a guy ask you to put lotion on his back? If I ask a guy he might think I was gay and hitting on him. I didn't know what to do so I kept my shirt on.
Well, a woman might think you were straight and hitting on her. You probably did the right thing keeping the shirt on.
When I have gone to beaches on my own, I ask a group of people if one of them could put suntan lotion on my back (and always have the type that you spray on). Better still if you have befriended someone.
That's a damn shame, Caliente, because I'm as strange as they come. Fortunately, I'm olive-skinned, and can take a lot of sun.
I didnt read the whole Op, but I think there are many people that are cancer conscious and would be glad to splat some on you..
