A child who has never been allowed to see his parents and
brothers and sisters naked sees nudity as something shocking.
--Dr. Helga Fleishhauer Hardt, SHOW ME (New York: St. Martin's Press,
1975)
Nude Parks/Resorts
What lies beyond the dreaded gate?
(Entrance to White Tail Park) First of all, they are not "Nude
colonies". That is a rather antiquated term used by the media,
perpetuating a rather shallow image based on lack of information.
Instead, they are getaway destinations for people in the surrounding
communities, visitors to the area, and for the people who live there.
Most parks and resorts are a mix of campground, resort, mobile home
community, and private member club. Some are rustic with only property
and maybe a clubhouse, while others resemble fancy subdivisions with
condos, shops, restaurants, and activities galore. Most clubs have
residents who live there, if only seasonal or part-time. The majority
of the members live within a few hours drive and come on weekends.
Visitors come in two varieties, traveling nudists from other clubs or
organizations, and first timers, trying it out for the first time.
Check the AANR directory for a club
nearby or in an area you plan to visit. Lesson number one: CALL AHEAD!
Introduce yourself and ask if you'd be welcome to visit. If you're a
single male or traveling without your spouse, some clubs might inform
you of policies they may have that restrict the number of single males
or discourage visits without spouses. The single male issue relates to
the fact that Nude men outnumber women in many areas, and some clubs
seek to maintain a "gender balance" to avoid having some of the women
feel uncomfortable. The missing spouse issue relates to clubs trying
to be "family friendly", encouraging both spouses to work out their
differences and attend together, rather than be split apart by their
different interests. If you fit into either of these two categories,
and/or the manager seems cool or rejecting, call another club. Many of
the more progressive clubs, and most of the larger clubs, have dropped
such policies, especially against single males. Single women will have
little problem securing an invitation to visit. In either case, don't
give up. Remember, you're asking to be invited to a private club, not
a public park. Be polite and state your interest. You might not want
to bring the kids on the first visit. They'll pick up on your
nervousness, and will be much more comfortable when you are more
confident and relaxed about it.
Then comes the big day. Get good
instructions on how to find the place, since most parks are pretty
secluded. When you arrive, tell them your name and remind them that
you called earlier. Don't worry about being nervous. The manager has
probably dealt with hundreds to thousands of first timers, so just
follow his or her lead. The grounds fees for the day will vary between
$8 to $30+, depending on how fancy the club is. They'll tell you where
to park, where things are, and will probably give you a list of common
sense rules. If you're lucky and the manager has some time, you might
get a tour and/or get introduced to some of the regulars. After that,
you're usually on your own.
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. |
