"To be offended by the visual appearance of another person is
prejudice, akin to racism. The right to exist, uncovered, should hold
precedence over the right not to view this, for the objection is
irrational."- Terri Webb
Clothing Optional
vs. Nudist
Some resorts are "clothing optional"
and some aren't. At a clothing optional resort, you're free to remain
dressed with no pressure to disrobe. Ask about their policy, as "CO"
is not a bad choice if the spouse isn't so sure about undressing. One
almost universal exception is that you will probably be required to be
nude in their pools and hot tubs. The rather weak argument is that it
keeps fibers from clogging the filters. The real reason is that
"skinny-dipping" is almost a sacred right to nudists, and that's why
you're there, isn't it? Even if the club is "CO", take the plunge and
disrobe. You'll probably feel more out of place if you stay clothed,
since the majority will likely be nude.
Most clubs are not "clothing
optional" and expect visitors and members to be nude, weather
permitting. It's also easier to get used to nudity when everybody's
nude. First timer's are usually given some latitude, but the sooner
you disrobe, the sooner you'll feel less out of place. After the call,
the drive, and the guy at the gate, taking off your clothes is the
easy part. As in the beach discussion above, my advice is to "just do
it". It feels pretty strange the first time, stripping beside your car
in a parking lot. The feeling of vulnerability fades over the next few
hours. Just ignore it and it will pass. Don't forget to bring a towel
to sit on (universal practice). And don't be so nervous that you lock
your keys in the car!
There is usually plenty to do, if
you're so inclined. The stereotypical nude volleyball game is actually
a favorite pastime at most clubs. It is a wonderful distraction and a
great way to get used to being nude. Join in if offered. Tennis
anyone? Most clubs have pools, saunas, and/or hot tubs which
facilitate social interaction, and nature trails or quiet sunning
areas for those times you just want to be left alone.
Short Reading About Nude Culture
Being a Christian, I naturally had been taught the body shame and disgrace of being nude, especially in front of others. But for some reason, while I was about 12-13 years old, I was on a farm and found out that running in the pastures and woods was fun naked. Over the years, I would find places alone to be nude. But something was just not right. First, I was alone in my feelings and couldn't talk to anyone about it, and two, my religious teachings still gave me a guilty feeling.
When my wife and I were in our 4th-5th (in my late 30's) year of marriage, I started to look into naturism a lot more seriously, but my wife was against the idea. Not that she was against being nude with each other since we did that a lot around the house anyway, but was afraid of the social idea. She thought I was going to some sex crazed wierdo bunch. And of course she doubted that there were any more than a couple of real nudists in the whole state anyway. So that would make me stand out even more.
I found a magazine called Nude and Natural Issue 16.1 I believe. It was the issue that published the "205 Arguments and Observations of Naturism". I took that home and read it through. Then a few days later I showed it to my wife. We discussed it, prayed about it, studied it and decided to give it a try. She wanted to talk to our pastor about it at first, but I told her that we can't always depend on what they say on this. I already know what they will say, "No". So our beliefs are in vain. Either it is between us and God or it's not. So we decided to keep it between us two and we've been at it now for about four years. Keep in mind, we are not just sneaking around our church to do something "sneaky and underhanded", but doing this on our own because of our beliefs. Later we hope to tell our pastor and church. There is a couple we may tell fairly soon.

The Naturist materials on this Nude Website are legal in every city, every state and every county inside the United States. They are protected by the First Amendment and are not subject to local obscenity laws or ordinances. The depiction of adults and children nude in the visual media has enjoyed constitutional protection in the United States since 1958, when the Supreme Court vacated a Court of Appeals finding that Sunshine & Health magazine could be obscene (Sunshine Book Co. v. Summerfield, Postmaster General, 355 U.S. 372). The right to depict adults and children in innocent nude poses has been upheld without a pause for 41 years. In case after case, the Supreme Court and lower courts have always upheld the constitutionality of "nudity without more," specifically referring to the Nude depiction as a fully constitutional form of expression. Our picture and video galleries are widely promoted in all of United States, Canada, Asia, Europe, South America, Canada, Australia and Africa amond most major countries. The only exception may be countries where nudity of any kind is banned, i.e. Iraq, Syria, and Iran. |
