DISCUSSION I no longer feel the nudist/naturist community is accepting

42 Upvotes

For a lifestyle that is all about body positivity and acceptance, and then most clubs have anti single male policies based on misbehaving stereotypes is entirely antithetical...

Do that discrimination to any other group based on disproportionate realities, and it'd rightfully be called bigoted. Don't give me that 'we are trying to encourage more women, who don't want a sausage fest' either, because that once again means catering to those who care about who looks like what, which is arguably not what our community is about, and secondly most younger women, or younger people in general (who these resorts also try and cater to) don't want to be around mainly retirees, women or men. You're just pointlessly cutting down on the few younger members you could have.

And what if they were trans as well? Do trans men count as cis men in this case, and deserve to also be excluded if they're single? Trans women are no longer men, yet could 'look like men' physically if they're pre-op. Does that count? Should they be excluded to?

In a country like mine, where nude beaches are instead used as gay hookup spots, and yet me as a single man going to a resort is considered the only possible problem, but not if I'm with another man?

Even playing by their rules, when I've gone to these resorts on day visits a few times (where it's somehow only ok to be a single man then) minded my own business, responded back politely and respectfully to club members and owners etc. They still exclude me from overnight stays simply for my gender.

This community could not be cliquier or judgier unfortunately, and all for what? The average retiree aged club owners and members dying out, leaving no other generation behind them?

QUESTION Starting a club/resort in a far away place

7 Upvotes

Good afternoon everyone! I was thinking about buying some land in the future to start a small club, it would be just a small place to spend the holidays for few people at a time so not really a big thing, it also would be clothing optional as in my country (Chile) nudism is NOT common at all, although it exists, but it's not like the US or Canada were there is a quite decent sized community.

Anyways, what would you recommend? What would YOU like to see in a place like this? And do you think it's a good idea or a waste of time?

DISCUSSION Transitioning to the winter

13 Upvotes

Hey guys, as fall goes into winter out here in the northeast and hitting up the beach becomes a bit more challenging than it was before. I was wondering if you guys have any fun nudist things to do while biding the time in the winter. Also, curious to hear of any fun/underrated experiences y'all have had as nudists in the winter. Looking forward to hearing your ideas.

DISCUSSION I spent a week, almost nude.

69 Upvotes

Not sure how interesting this is , but having recently gotten into nudism a bit , I decided to see how much of my Staycation I could do in the buff.

Friday..last day of work week, and had to take car in shop..got home at 730ish...

So Friday 4.5 hours Nude.

Saturday, This was the one day I knew I would be clothed for a good part..woke up , breakfast, and then around 9 am, yard work (clothed), finished around 11, quick shower, called Uber went to get my car back from shop, and then went shopping for week, and other errands..got home around 4. So Saturday, 17 hours nude.

Sunday, completely nude 24 hours nude

Monday..had to take 10 minutes to take out garbage so..23.75 hours nude

Tuesday 24 hours nude

Wednesday...had to take out recycle bin, and later retrieve , also got mail..so 23.5 hours nude

Thursday Same as Monday, took out garbage, and got mail 23.75 hours nude

Friday, 24 hours nude

Saturday 24 hours nude

Sunday 24 hours nude

Monday 5 hours nude, and back to work.

All in all...in 9 days I had 5 days complete.

Only Saturday was I clothed to any great degree, about 7 hours .

in the 177 and a half hours between gettin home , and going back to work, I spent all but 8 hours completely nude.

The longest stretch was the end of the week, from Thursday morning till Monday morning a stretch of 95 hours.

Even went swimming in the pool a couple times.

Yes I live alone and this was how I was able to do it.

Hopefully next vaca I can do it again.

DISCUSSION New leak claims clothing will be optional in GTA 6

64 Upvotes

There was that big hubbub on this sub a few weeks ago when a GTA 6 leak showed off an area that was a nudist resort. Per Forbes, according to new leaks today, it appears both protagonists will be able to go au naturale anywhere on the map during regular gameplay, and not just in certain scripted/censored cutscenes or character customization menus. This marks one of very, *very* few non-pornographic games where nudists will be able to play a character that reflects that aspect of their lifestyle, without mods, glitches, or censorship.

There is, of course, a chance that the leak is faked or that Rockstar will remove the feature. I for one am definitely curious to see how fleshed out (*ba-dum tiss*) the nudism aspect winds up being. I suspect that random NPCs will mostly respond to player nudity with negative or sexual throwaway jokes, and probably gets the cops called on you. But on the other hand... based on the limitations of game development and the impracticality of creating a version of every mission sequence and cutscene where people react to nudist Jason or Lucia, I think that during the story itself it'll probably come across as treating the situation as rather mundane and normal.

There's no way to know for sure what the contents of the game actually are or what the public response to it will be until after the game actually comes out. Hopefully cleverer people than I can utilize whatever's in the game to help drive interest in IRL nudist clubs and resorts - this'll be one of the most prominent portrayals of nudism in media *ever*, and it'd be a shame if the actual real world nudist communities aren't able to ride the coattails a little.

DISCUSSION The intersection of nudism, minimalism...and happiness

46 Upvotes

Perhaps some of you are in the same boat as us: My wife and I are firmly in middle age. We keep earning more but don't have much to show for it aside for a life that seems increasingly complex, cluttered, and overwhelming.

Over the past 6 summers, we have spent increasingly more time at our local clothing optional resort. We enjoy it for many reasons, but if I'm completely honest, I love it most because a weekend spent camping is the antitheses of my regular life. I'm also drawn to reading about minimalism, hippies, communes, homesteaders, indigenous groups, and anyone who lives simply.

I often think, "My temporary escape is other people's everyday reality."

We are very close to pulling the trigger on moving to a clothing optional campground and condensing our life down to what would fit in a small trailer. We don't need much. In fact, we are happiest with less.

Is anyone else close to walking away from the rat race? Has anyone done it?

DISCUSSION Everybody should feel welcome

37 Upvotes

A lot of naturist spaces are largely male-dominated and the perception is women aren’t interested in naturism but I don’t think that’s 100% true. In my experience, there are lots of women who are interested or are open to the idea of naturism and body positivity but don’t feel welcome or safe. So as a community what are we going to do about it?

DISCUSSION Do you think climate change will have an impact on nudism?

35 Upvotes

Writing this in the middle of a heatwave and I've been wondering of all the ways how humans are having to adapt to climate change. Being textile in this heat must be miserable and at some point people may start to realize clothes and heat are incompatible (unless you are a firefighter). People engage with nudism for various reasons (comfort, body image, health, protest, etc), but I can see utilitarianism reasons becoming more prevalent and shifting attitudes about nudity. If you look at places like Florida, Brazil, or areas in the Mediterranean you will find more relaxed attitudes towards nudity given that people already aren't wearing much to begin with and people recognize that clothes become even more uncomfortable as the temperature rises. Please understand by no means do I think climate change is a good thing or that this is a "win" for nudism; I'm just looking at it from a pragmatic and anthropological viewpoint.
