As I get older I find that I like being shirtless outdoors more than I did previously. Maybe it’s an expression of freedom during this time of confinement. I’ve already noticed this spring some men riding bikes and walking through parks shirtless. So, a year ago, on May 31, 2020, this question was asked and answered:Īs summer comes during this time in which we have been shut in due to COVID-19, I look forward to getting outside. If you haven’t been jabbed, get your shots! Note: On the Center for Disease Control lifted the COVID-19 mask recommendation for all outdoor and indoor activities for all persons who have been fully vaccinated. Let it be a sign of celebration that we are beginning to be immunized against COVID-19 with vaccinations and the possibilities of freedom from the novel coronavirus. Men’s shirts will be coming off with greater frequency. Note: This Q & A was originally one of my brief answers in “Frank Answers Briefly About Male Body Issues.” But the answer was a little longer than a brief response, so I removed it from that post, added a little more text and lots of additional images, and made it this independent article.
