Visiting a nudist beach or resort can be a liberating and life-changing event or just a new way to enjoy time with your loved ones. But before you bare all, there are ground rules that you need to know so that you get the most out of the experience.
Steps
- Research nudist areas in your state or province. The internet has literally thousands of websites dedicated to nude recreation.[1] In North America, there are over 250 clubs and resorts where people can vacation in the buff.[2]
- There's a stereotype that nudist destinations are patronized by a disproportionate number of elderly folks.[2] If that's something you wish to avoid, look for family-friendly resorts, or resorts that cater to couples looking for a romantic getaway.
- Call ahead. Ask what is needed to visit their club and whether they accept single people or families, depending on your situation. Some places require an annual membership, but might allow an initial visit. Another important thing to ask is if it's "clothing optional" or "clothes free". In the latter, stripping down is mandatory, and it might not be the best choice if this is your first time experiencing the nudist lifestyle.
- When you arrive at your specific nudist venue, be sure to check in at the office so they know everyone who is there. Some places have a gate, others have a phone.
- Sit back, relax, and look good naked.
Tips
- Avoid sexual activity in the open. Remember that these are family areas that may have children close by. Open sexual activity has led to the closure of more than one nude beach. Save that type of activity for your home or hotel.
- Leave the cameras at home. People are there to relax, not to have the stress of ending up on a website added to their lives.
- Do not try to pick up women. Most people are there to enjoy the sun and the peace of mind, not hook up.
- If someone has clearly come to gawk and is lewdly staring at you, have a small pocket mirror on hand and briefly shine it in their face. This quickly gets the message across that their behaviour is unwelcome.
Warnings
- There is always the question for the males regarding erections. While erections are regarded as normal, an erection in public is not considered proper. Just sit down for a while, lie on your stomach or bury it in the sand until it subsides.
