Yeah like my SO who just wants everyone to see his member. whatever..

all the wild hotsprings in British Columbia are clothes optional and always have been. Wreck Beach near the University of B.C. has been the one place in the city. But get way, way out into the forest and it just seems obvious that clothing has to go!

I went to the infamous Devil's Slide in NorCal once back in the day.

It was a deal where my friend's friend spontaneously asked if we wanted to tag along - the friend's friend's gf was going to go nude, so we thought, sure.

When I got there, I saw how sculpted the other people were and I kept my clothes on, as did my friend and HIS friend (the louse!); after all, my friend and I were pasty (indoors a lot) musicians in a band, we had like guitar-arm-and beer-can-holding muscles, not much else LMAO.

The friend's friend's gf was a solid 10, could have been in Playboy, way better than most I'd seen in that mag, truth be told. It was my first run in with an exhibitionist.

I'm guessing everyone just goes on about their business as if they had clothes on?
Do people "mate" in the open for all to watch? lol...I guess I am not educated on the subject.
Not sure if someone already responding to you on this thread yet as I just stumbled across it, but no, people don't "mate" in the open at a nudist beach. They could try it, but if they're caught, they're usually subjected to indecency laws and such.

Yes, the actual naturists or nudists aren't there for sex or to gawk at people of the opposite/same sex for sexual advances. Actually, most folks at nudist beaches/resorts are about the most open, honest, friendly people you'd ever meet. What have they got to hide?

As a fellow naturist myself, it is the ultimate freedom!

Whether you're sunbathing, skinny dipping, hiking, playing tennis, volleyball, or even something as simple as gardening, etc. doing so in a natural state is so enjoyable when you can feel the air and sun on your skin.

Surprisingly, it also helps to overcome many barriers in social situations too, and naturists generally lead longer lives because of the vitamin D from the sun they take in over clothed folks, and the stress-reliever that living life all natural, provides.

True, most of the reasons vary widely, but being free and enjoying the air against your skin are usually things that naturists have in common.

Yeah, I can say we do enjoy the activity very much :-)

Sometimes though you'll actually see more women skinny dipping then men, and if your hiking nude, when you come across other hikers, the men will be more offended by it than the women....

Maybe just not enough nudist women took the poll :-)

Unless I missed it, no pro-nudist mentioned the enjoyment of viewing other people's nude bodies (did I miss it? not 100% sure). If that is the case, that it is a personal experience of freedom, why is it necessary to do it where other people are nude too? Doesn't walking around your house or apartment bring the same enjoyment then? Maybe if you put a fence up around your pool you could do the same thing there with no worries.

Is it my problem that I, admittedly, fantasize to some extent if I see a nude female form? I can say that in my teens, going to a nudist beach would definitely not have worked. Annoyingly, there were a couple attractive teachers I had that merely had to walk into the classroom for me to respond in a certain way (that is inappropriate at a nudist resort). Now at my physical age and level of emotional maturity I suspect I would not necessarily react in that involuntary way at a nudist beach. Nevertheless, I would likely sexually fantasize about most nude women that came within sight. I would not stair at them. But I would see them, and that's probably all it takes for my imagination to get triggered. That's the way I am, I am programmed that way, I am comfortable with it, and I see no reason to change it. Despite my nature, I am non-sexist and treat both sexes with respect regardless of the situation or environment. So because of this, am I NOT someone that should go to a nudist resort?
No, those are spontaneous feelings, and while people don't go to nudist resorts because the other sex is appealing, they do realize that humans are programmed a certain way and usually if this occurs, just put a towel over your waist ( or fold the towel you're sitting on, over your waist as well. )

I think at nudist resorts and nude beaches where nudists hang out, these situations are rare. Sex has a time and place in any relationship, but not on a nudist beach or at a nudist resort. Most resorts are pretty strict with making any advancements towards the other sex, in a sexual manner and you're usually immediately thrown out of the resort if this occurs and banned from returning.

If you're at a nudist beach and you get excited, simply either put a towel, or hat over it or just roll over on your stomach until the urge goes away ( or quickly get into the water at the beach. Most of the time the water is so cold, it usually does the trick

This is dependent on which nude beach you visit.

I have seen some that are full of perverts ( cruisers and such ) and others where they were genuinely naturalists.

IMO, nudists could be anyone that chooses to visit a nude beach and partake in the activities there. A naturalist is someone who firmly believes in being nude as often as possible and will usually seek out ventures they could do nude such as swimming or hiking. Naturalists are more serious about the lifestyle I believe.

Myself, I am a naturalist.
