The term is commonly used with a neutral tone to describe swimming in unheated water, but is also used when referring to going naked in hot tubs and hot springs.
It has a more mischievous connotation when describing swimming excursions (often under cover of darkness) in swimming pools or at beaches where one would be expected to wear swimsuits. Some people claim that skinny dipping in mixed company (i.e., both males and females) has an element of sexual rebelliousness to it, though sexual activity does not necessarily take place. However, skinny dipping does not necessarily have any sexual component, it may just be an enjoyable activity between platonic friends.
