I like the sun and the moon..I do not lay out to tan when it is too hot...The sun is a good thing to be outside on nice days..The moon can be a scary thing when you are out at night..
I do like the feeling of the sun on my naked body getting my all over tan and vitamin D fix mainly doing gardening but mostly in the evenings when not too hot. On very hot days I will be in the shade or indoors.
We started at sungazing (sunrise or sunset only) a few years ago, but because of our climate it was a little difficult to maintain the practice. I will say however that the feelings I had while doing the practice were.. unexplainable and awesome most days. I would definitely do it again if I landed in a more favorable climate for sun gazing.

I came across a couple of guys last year on a beach on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales called Whistling Sands, it's one of the most westerly beaches in the uk and they were off for a swim. It was just around sunset on the longest day, the beach faces west and wonderful sunsets can be enjoyed there. Anyway, after their short swim in the cold Irish Sea I had a chat with them. It turned out they had swam in the North Sea on the east coast at sunrise that day, then drove across the country and into Wales so they could swim in the Irish Sea at sunset. Apparently they had done this for the past seventeen years....
They left saying, "we're not sure why we keep doing this, it's become something of a habit. Anyway, we've got a bottle of scotch back at the tent, that'll warm us up."

Strangely enough, I swam in the sea at Mumbles and it was as warm as the Caribbean.
