HI, my name is Jennifer and I would like to let you know about how I found one of the most awesome things ever. This really is how I found that nude beaches are only incredibly alluring and that it is the most teasing experience you could possibly have, if you’re a girl that is. Everything began about three years ago when two of my girlfriends and I took our first vacation together. We were still in college and we chose to treat ourselves to something really special, so we reserved a flight to the French Riviera, determined to spend some great times there until the money survives. One of my friends, Beth, she even knew a little French, so we were alright.
Our resort was almost on the seashore and we spend most of the day on that shore for the first couple of days. We were having the time of our lives, sunbathing, having fun in the water and going out in the evenings. And then, one day, two men that we met last night on town approached us and we began speaking again. They were these insanely cute local guys, with perfect bodies, charming as hell and did I say they were cunning? We were discussing for hours on the shore and then we asked them if it is a fact that there are beaches for nudists in the region because we heard something about it in the very first day or two. They said that it was accurate and that they occasionally go there. And then, for some reason, god knows what it was, we asked them when they could take us. They told us that they would meet us tomorrow on ‘our’ beach with their boat because you could not get there by land.
Tomorrow, the three of us were waiting for the men, all three still in our bikinis. We weren’t risking it or anything. They picked us up when we agreed and they brought another friend of theirs, equally cunning if not even more adorable. They were also in shorts. We took a boat ride of maybe 15 minutes. As it turned out this nudist beach was just around the corner. We couldn’t believe our eyes how beautiful it was. It was a bit secluded, with no more than twenty people there. Only the prettiest little seashore you could imagine. As we were getting closer, I saw that everyone on the beach was fully naked. There were a few couples, http://fairpost.net and so on.
When we got off the boat, the men stripped instantaneously like it was nothing. We could not believe it. It was like they did not mind at all that they were naked. And to tell you the truth, we didn’t at all. This was enough to rank among our greatest days ever, cute French men naked like the day they were born. http://x-nudism.net , nevertheless, weren’t that prepared to get naked at once. My friends took of their tops and following some time, we said what the hell and took everything away. We could observe the men were trying really hard to stay cool, but you might believe that they got 10 times as interested.
The funny thing is the fact that we kept on talking as if everything was the same as it was on ‘our shore’, but you can feel the sex hanging in the air. No one was talking about it and it made everything even hotter. I could feel the blood inside me boiling and I knew that everyone felt the same way. It was clear that everyone needed the same thing, but we all agreed, without saying anything, to keep it bottled inside. At a couple of moments, I felt like I was going to possess the biggest orgasm ever with no touches or anything. It was just unbelievable. As well as the feel of the sun as well as the water on my naked body… while I think about it now I feel all amusing, let alone then.
It was the most alluring day I have ever had, and there clearly was no sex involved. Just being at the beach nude can do that.
My first public bare expericence was on vacation in Mallorca. My girlfriend and I ‘d been staying in a wonderful low rise beach side resort on the south of the island and had a great weekdriving round the island discovering new towns and shores It was our last day and we chose to remain local to the resort and take a walk along the seashore. It was vey hot in the late 80’s. We walked about half a mile past two other large resorts until the beach was backed by sand dunes. We carried on a few hundred yards more and then dropped our bags and towels. It was a beauiful spot with golden sand, a clam sea and not a cloud in the skies.
I was soon stripped down to my shorts and my girlfriend to her bikini bottoms, (she consistently sunbathed topless). After applying generous amounts of suntan lotion we settled down to sunbath. The beach was deserted and we felt like the only two souls for miles. We chatted away for a while and then the conversation moved on to how tanned we’d got in the past week and comparing the white marks around our waists.
My girlfriend said it seemed ridiculous how we would walk around nude all of the time at home and yet we covered up when we swam and sun bathed. She suggested that I try slipping off my shorts as there clearly was no one around. This was amazing because I had always thought about it but was never sure how exactly to introduce the notion to my girlfriend. The finally selection was made that we’d both go bare on the beach there and then. We had a glimpse about and then undressed.
Well what a releif, you can’t beleive the difference, the feeling of the sun and the breeze was amazing and we both agreed we should have done this at the start of the holiday and not on the last day.
It didn’t take long for us to get in the water, another exceptional and pleasing experience, we swam around for a while and the my girlfriend left me to do some snorkling still completely naked and loving it.
A couple of hours afterwards we saw http://antinude.com approaching along the sand in the space. We weren’t quite sure what to do so we put baked and pretended not to notice. They need to have walked passed us and they settled down about 50 yards further along the beach.
They were in there early 20’s, they set out there towels and were clearly interested in the undeniable fact that we were sunbathing nude. She was topless with cord bikini bottoms and he wore Speedos. After a while I was becoming so hot that I needed to go back in the ocean, I decided just to behave normal and walk to the waters edge with only my snorkle and goggles.
I felt fairly positive after a while and went in and out of http://tetyk.com but my girlfriend stayed on the beach, still nude but reading.
A bit later on the couple along the beach took to the water, they were splashing around and generally having a great time, it was soon clear that they’d removed their swim suits while in the water and were now nude themselves. It has to have been their first time as well because their tan lines were as bad as ours. They too spent the rest of the afternnon nude and even played shore tennis for some time. I feel good that even though we didn’t speak we must have given them some confidence to try it out, I only expect they had another week to enjoy it.
On the way back we walked naked until we could see the sunbeds and some individuals from the first resort. It was a wonderul experience, one that we’ve repeated many times since.
Nudism is not a religion
Nudism is not a religion. The characteristic of a religion is blind faith in an intangible. Belief in something which cannot be proved. Nudism is a way of life and a form of recreation. Nothing else. The benefits in the form of physical and mental health are tangible and easily proven. The individual who started this movement to have nudism declared a religion evidently didn’t think it through. As things stand in today’s political climate a nudist religion could not be practiced on public property, an ever growing amount of real estate, nor could it even be mentioned in schools. While sexually oriented nudity could still be shown in the movies and TV wholesome, family oriented nudism being a religion could not. These three things are essential to the growth of family nudism. 1) More public lands should be set aside for clothing optional use 2) nudism should be taught in school as a perfectly acceptable alternative way of life and recreation and Social Studies classes should introduce students to the many countries, mostly former Socialist Block countries, who embrace nudity 3) nudity should be portrayed in the movies and on television as being perfectly normal and natural rather than being sexually charged and titillating.
How did I come to be a nudist?
How did I come to be a nudist? Well, this is kind of a hard question because I don’t know for sure whether I am a nudist or not. But the fact remains that I am on my way. At least I have made my first, still uncertain, steps. It all started last summer when I first met Andrew. He suggested that we go to a secluded Long Island beach where to meet someone is a very rare opportunity. It was our plan to bring along as many people as possible, but in the end there were only three of us coming: Andrew, me, and my friend Alice.
Alice and I got everything ready for the planned picnic: we bought some food, put on new swimsuits, and took large bedding. Andrew had been already waiting for us at the bus stop. Having been lectured on our tardiness, we got into the bus. There was a long way to go bus and then a few miles to walk, so we started to lose our clothing, piece by piece, while we were still on our way. Andrew took off his T-shirt and used it to cover his head. Alice and I also took off our T-shirts and walked on wearing our skirts and swimsuit tops.
We had been rather tired when we finally got to the public beach. But Andrew did not stop there. Instead he led us on promising to show us some fantastic spot. We were walking along posh villas, the road was dusty and the heat was something devastating. We were dying to dive into cool water and stretch on the bedding! When we had covered another mile we finally took a turn from the main road and walked in a single file along a narrow path that wound its way between bushes and trees. Finally we saw the glade we had been looking for! We disposed of what was left from our clothing and tossed our bags to the ground carelessly and decided to take a plunge into the river. Cool and clean water made us feel alive again. Andrew and I were the first to come out of water.
‘What would you say if I took off my swimming trunks?’ – he asked. Then he continued: ‘I want my suntan to be even’.
I wouldn’t mind him doing so if it was not for Alice being around. I knew she would be scandalized if he were to do this. But I did not object openly to the bloke. He stripped and lay on his stomach, exposing his butt to the sunrays. By the by, the color of his butt did not differ from that of the rest of his body. Terrified by Alice’s would-be reaction, I was waiting for her to approach. Finally I saw her coming out of the water serenely. When she came closer and saw Andrew, she looked like she was stricken by lightning, but she did not say a thing and triying hard to look like nothing had happened, lay down beside us.
So, there we were sunbathing like that: Andrew was nude, while Alice and me had our swimsuits on. When Andrew thought that Alice was no longer embarrassed by his nudity, he took me aside, kissed and said ‘Take off all of your clothes’. Frankly speaking, I had been craving to take my swimsuit off and expose to the sun the paler spots on my body. But in sympathy with Alice I had not done this. But now that we were separated from Alice by a wall of shrubbery, I couldn’t fight the temptation if letting him yank off all the unnecessary pieces of clothing from me. Then we lay on the grass and started playing cards. Andrew called Alice. We did not have to ask her twice, and presently she joined us.
‘Don’t be a coy, go ahead and take your swimsuit off! There is no one around!’ – suggested Andrew, but she only shook her head. I realized that my own nudity was even more confusing for her than Andrew’s, but sweeping away the feeble pangs of my conscience, I remained to be stripped to the bark. After a while we heard the sound of started engine and then an old Buick came into view. There emerged a couple of it – a man and a woman. Having set all of their possessions ready to have a good time, they went straight to the water. They were absolutely nude. Notwithstanding the fact that their bodies were, well, far from being perfect, they were not in the least put out by their nudity and were feeling quite natural. They lay on the beach to sunbathe when they emerged out of the water.
Then it was our turn to bathe. Andrew refused pointblank to put on his swimming trunks. As for me, I put on my swimsuit rather unwillingly, only for the sake of my sympathy towards Alice. I am not sure as for the couple’s reaction towards our emerging from behind the bushes, but Andrew was feeling quite relaxed. He was not even embarrassed by fishermen fishing somewhere at a distance in their boats. When we came out of the water the Buick was already gone and we came back to our old place on the glade. Andrew took off my swimsuit from me without saying anything and wiped me with a bath towel. It was a fantastically blissful sensation to stand amidst flamboyant greenery nude enjoying the life-giving sunrays. And although somewhere deep in my heart I still felt the remains of my shyness, I was very determined to forget about it, not letting it get me down.
Andrew tried to do the same to Alice, to help her to fight her constraint, but she only rushed away in panic from him. After this he let her alone for a while. Then our conversation flowed to discussing the ways of breast enlargement, and Alice started teaching me some daily breast enlargement exercise complex. To demonstrate the work of breast muscles, or maybe because her desire finally conquered her shyness, Alice let her swimsuit slip to her waist, and we started doing the exercises together. Andrew caught us in this very position, kneeling close to each other and doing some intricate exercises. Alice was awfully embarrassed and put the straps of her swimsuit top back on her shoulders.
It was getting late and it was time for us to start packing our things and go back home, but we wanted to take yet another plunge before we leave. Andrew and I decided to do it nude. Holding hands with each other, when the water reached our waists we looked back and to our utter surprise we saw Alice standing by the water… totally nude!
Tired but happy and full of new impressions, we were getting back home. It was our first experience of bathing nude outdoors, an unexpected and enjoyable experience. Now I am anxiously waiting for the summertime to come to continue my acquaintance with nature in its primordial form. Andrew and I plan to go to the seaside. And I know for sure that we won’t need any ‘textile’ pastime by the seaside anymore.
When I was in my very early teens
When I was in my very early teens I used to strip off every time my parents were out of the house and enjoyed the feeling of being nude.
There were times when I went out in to the back yard and that feeling of the air all over my body was, and still is, indescrible. During my teen years I was not a recluse in my love of naturism and would not hesitate to admit to my love of being nude. Always in the context of the conversation, I never pushed it in peoples faces so to speak, but if the conversation had a leaning toward skinny dipping or the like I would say that I have no problem joining in or taking part.
Right up to the day I got married I had not experienced social nudity like in a club or beach. Of course my wife knew of my love of being nude but at that time did not join me in my nude time. It was in the second year of marriage that we wnt on a camping holiday to Europe with friends. We travelled through Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. On the return trip we stopped for a couple of nights on the Isle of Sylt which is just off Germany near the boarder with Denmark. My wife was there when she was very small as her family was stationed there with the RAF. There has been nude beaches on Sylt for years.
When we had set up the tent our friends went off into the town and I asked the wife if she wanted to check out the beach. To this she agreed. It was only the other side of the road from where we had camped so off we went. We walked through the dunes and came out on to a wonderful beach where everybody were nude. The wife looked at me and smiled saying go on then I know you want to join in. So I did!!! This was my first time nude in a social setting and it felt marvelous to be nude with others who enjoyed the same feeling I did.
We sat down on the beach and just relaxed for a while. The wife at this point was still textile. I am not one for sitting around for long periods and went for a walk along the waters edge. I would like to add at this point that whilst we had been in Sweden I had sunbathed nude on a couple of occasions when we were in the dunes by ourselves and the wife had gone topless. On returning from my walk I spotted a sight that will stay with me forever, my wife was lying on her back totally nude. This was such a wonderful sight that I must admit it gave me my first erection on a nude beach. I did spend at least the next five minutes lying on my front in the sand.
She said that she had felt the odd one out with others nude around her so she joined in. When we decided we better walk back to the tent we just picked up our clothes and walked as far as we dare before putting them back on to cross the dunes and the road back to the camp site. On the walk back she told me that she now knew why I liked being nude as the feeling was out of this world and we made arrangements to spend more time on the beach the next day which was the last before the long drive home.
When we got back to the tent our friend were back from town and asked us where we had been so we told them we had been to check out the nude beach. They asked what it was like and if there were many people there. We replied by saying there were two more when we got there… you should have seen there faces.
From that day forward we have enjoyed a nudist lifestyle and not hidden the fact we are nudists from friends or family. That was 37 years ago this summer. Some of the family still think we are wierd but who cares… we don’t.
Spread the word.. nude is best. Bob..
One of the girls said she would get naked. How cool.
When I was 7 several of us were playing. One of the girls said she would get naked. How cool. She asked the boys to join her and no one did, so I said I would. It was just so great to be there naked and natual like that. It was the first time I was ever nude with anyone and I loved it.
I never had a chance to be nude till I was older. In high school we went on a trip with my family to St.Martin’s Orient Beach. It was so cool so many naked people. My family was amused and I stayed naked with them. Then I went down the beach, took off my suit, and walked down the beach naked. So many people naked and so many clothed. I loved it. I stood in line at a restroom naked and it was so neat. I had to put lotion on parts that never were tanned before and it was so cool to just stand and do it. There were two girls watching me and it seemed so natural. They were my age.
I spent the afternoon avoiding my family and being nude all day. I was hooked. One thing I did notice though is that I was a little smaller … all right …. a lot smaller than every guy there. You know what I mean. My little penis was about an inch and a half soft and looked like a little mushroom cap.
Sometimes some girls would giggle when I walked by, but I didn’t care, I still loved being naked. I am very thin and muscular and girls say good looking, but I am very small, so it was embarrassing at first.
Now, I go to nude beaches whenever I can, I love Haulover in Florida. I evern trim my pubic hair really close and I don’t mind if some girls giggle at my small little penis. I love it even though …
I go naked at my house whenever I can and when I go to college I am never going to wear clothes at home. I love to be naked as much as possible. Sure, I wish I was bigger, but it just isn’t important. It does reach almost 5 inches when I am excited, still small but oh well. No matter how you look, you should get nude as often as you can. It is the greatest. I hope this will help other guys who are small or girls with small breasts realize that being nude can be great no matter what you look like.
And, if you see a small guy, laugh if you want, but get to know him, he may be a great guy!!
There are a lot of closet nudists out there
There are a lot of closet nudists out there, and I’m one of them. So, I decideed to write this to help others like me to find more ways to go nude. Here are some helpful tips:
At home:
When no one is home, (Or if you’re willing to take your chances with someone around) just bare it all and do your usual stuff. The wind blowing against your body feels absolutely wonderful. For those who with their own rooms, you can lock the door and sleep in the nude. Try wearing just shorts (Men) or a single piece t-shirt (Women). That way, you can slip in faster if someone comes about. And for those people who share rooms, you can slip off your clothes and sleep in the nude, covered with a blanket of course. If you’re scared you’ll kick it off, tuck the sides of the blanket in tightly to the sides of the bed. You can also go back and forth the bathroom nude, and no one will probably say a thing. This is probably the first step for anyone who plans to tell their parents about their naturist activities. My parents are a bit open-minded, but they have their limits for nudism. I’m normally allowed to go nude before or after bathing for a while. Going longer than that will warrant a frown from them. I’m currently working on trying to make my parents come to terms with my nudism.
Outdoors:
If you’re lucky enough to have a nudist beach or center nearby, then don’t hesitate to visit it. Howeve if you’re unlucky enough (like me), you can always improvise. If you have your own swimming pool, you can always go there. If you have a private one, then use it! However, if you live in an apartment (like me, again), you could try going at around 2-3 am. Alternately, go during office hours and school times, when there will be no one. A good way to be safe is to wrap your swimsuit around your hands, so if anyone comes, you can easily slip it on. And, if you have a park nearby, (Go on the same times as the swimming pool) A good idea if you’re going to the park or a hike, bring the necessary supplies and a plastic bag or a bag to keep your clothes in. I normally bring slippers so I can remove and wear it easily. I prefer to go barefoot anywhere, by the way. If you have a bicycle, you could try cycling around nude. Always think of new ways to go natural. Make sure you map out a proper time to go and to return. Watch out for people to. You can also try jogging around the neighbourhood. Try alleywyas and isolated areas. Becareful if you want to take an extra risk by jogging past other people’s houses.
ALWAYS WATCH OUT FOR YOUR SAFETY, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT
That’s about it. The main point I stress is to USE YOUR BRAIN! Find more places to go nude and always think ahead for everything. Okay then, that’s about all I got to say. Until next time, keep nude!
We seek out nude beaches
While in college, I went with some friends from my dorm to a beach just south of Santa Cruz. It was not a nude beach and my friends and I did not go nude, but there were several other people who were nude. It was apparent that the skinny dippers were having a good time and didn’t care who else saw them. This was a completely new concept for me. There was no “You show me yours and I’ll show you mine” quid pro quo, which is the way I understood nudist parks to function. The attitude was “I’m going nude because I enjoy it and everyone else can just deal with it.”
I did not go nude that day because I did not know what the attitude of my friends would be toward it. It wasn’t until a couple of years later when I had access to a car that I went to Bonny Doon Beach just north of Santa Cruz. I had gone alone that day but there were plenty of other people on the beach and most of them were nude. I didn’t have any major anxieties about taking my clothes off, but I was reassured to find that nobody was laughing and pointing and that I didn’t have any problems suppressing my level of arousal. I found that within a couple of minutes I was able to relax and just enjoy being on the beach. There were a whole new series of pleasant sensations such feeling the sun and the breeze all over my body and running along the beach and jumping in the water without a soggy bathing suit. The experience lived up to my expectations. Thereafter, I would visit nude beaches a few times each summer whenever the opportunity availed itself.
I eventually married a very proper lady who I met at church. I assumed at the time that we got engaged that I would be giving up nude beaches forever. 
Then, she told me about how she and her sister grew up skinny dipping in their backyard swimming pool. A few months after we were married, I took my wife to Red, White, & Blue Beach in California. It was her first time nude on a beach and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Now when we go on vacation, we seek out nude beaches and prefer to stay at nudist resorts. We now have a backyard swimming pool and use swimsuits only when we have visitors.

Being naked outside for the first time proved to be a real encounter.

had never felt a cool wind. All I can declare is
“WOW.” It felt so great that I needed more.
So I reversed the buttons all down the front. That let in more coolness, and I simply felt the “WOW even more powerful. My head simply said do it. So I

First Awakening
At the office, my supervisor and coworker resided near the finest beach on Long Island and requested me to join his family for a beach day, so I concurred. It turned out to be a private beach, the town’s only resident shore. In minutes I saw people standing by a 10 foot totem pole, they all were nude and had long ponytails, along with a sign said “clothing optional.”
Not going, he said take it away and take pleasure in the waves. I did, as well as the blustery waves on my body proved to be a completely new life knowledge.
I’ve never become the same inhibited soul after that. Nature was a blast, there all the time, as well as the present was mine.

A number of years back, I began to be drawn to social nudity. I adored being naked since I was around 10. I needed to slip out of my pj’s when I slept, then slip back into them. Just a textile family.
Well, across the time that I turned 48 I determined I needed to understand more, and began browsing websites. AANR, etc. From this I discovered Hidden River Resort in north Florida.
I’d get information from the AANR website, and assorted Christian Nudist newsgroups, and then forwards that information to my wife.
We arrived and with plenty of trepidation, got a tour of the facilities.
Within only several minutes, I was undressed and feeling free. My wife yet went considerably slower.
We chose to walk the trails first. As we walked she inquired how I felt. “Is not it strange?” We afterward saw another naked couple, and nothing occurred! We said hello – and spoke a couple of minutes – and it was not unusual. It was truly quite natural.
We went back to the vehicle, and she freely undressed, and we walked to the outside showers. “Nude as jay birds.”
It was amazing – we spent a number of hours in the pool, hanging out as well as discussing. What an excellent day trip – excellent people, as well as the hostess was top notch!
If you arer worried about becoming aroused, or others seeing you – do not be. When you get your clothing away – we all seem the same!
Thanks AANR for the information you supplied. Thank you CNC as well as the other Christian newsgroups for helping us see that we can still have our beliefs – and enjoy social nudity.
Now – we are constantly looking forward to our next visits, and we are slowly introducing our relatives and buddies to the lifestyle.

We stopped to consider the ocean and understood we were above a nude beach. First, we saw a youthful and healthy couple. Subsequently we saw people who looked like me, old and not too appropriate.
I determined that I needed to skinny dip for the very first time in my adult life. My wife did not join me then.
Ever since then, we have joined AANR, seen clubs in the U.S. and Europe and I often skinny dip throughout the summer. I have discovered that if I swim early enough in the early hours, I ‘ve the lake to myself.

My story of my first nude beach encounter
Before I begin writing anything else and before I discuss with you my story of my first nude beach encounter, I believe that I must say several things about the girlfriends I went with. These are my three best girlfriends that I’ve understood for a long time, ever since we began first grade. We stayed great girlfriends all these years and every year (when we can manage it), we go for a holiday down to Mexico and check out a fresh location each year. It’s been our little tradition for a few years now and we’ve had some crazy times south of the boundary. Nevertheless, this last year was actually something else. It was the very first time we went to a nudist beach and I only need to discuss our experience.
We initially believed that it’d only be another one of our excursions, all four of us were actually psyched to go and we actually wanted the holiday. Also, we chose to go someplace where we could actually kick back and relax without needing to bash all night long. We determined on a location called Riviera Maya that’s just south of Cancun, but in addition merely south enough to avoid all of the crowds that harass Cancun. When we got there, it absolutely was like heaven. Well, it was one of these areas. I really could recommend it to practically everyone.
And for a day or two, everything was going as intended. We were relaxing on the shores entire day long, went out for several drinks in the evenings and we were, if we’re fair, being a dull group. Actually, it was becoming a bit too dull. I mean we were still in our 20ies and however exhausted you get over the course of the year, you do need some pleasure when you go on a holiday. That’s when one of my girlfriends, Tyra, said that there’s a shore where nudists go, something of a combined shore at which it is possible to go either clothed or in the nude. This was something we never attempted before and we determined that it will be a great way to spice things up a bit. We also expected that there would be some men there that we could take a look at in the nude.
The very first thing that we noticed when we got to the shore is that everyone was in their swimming suits, guys, girls, everyone. As it turned out, this wasn’t true. The nudist section of the shore was a bit down the shore and we soon began seeing a growing number of folks enjoying their day in the seashore in the nude. There were ladies in topless, women which were completely bare and even a few extremely hot men all naked and showing off.
Then it hit us we were extremely self-conscious. I made the decision to give topless a go as well as the image which I sent you is only that. Tyra in the middle, all naked and without a care in the world.
The independence is intoxicating as well as the sun feels so fantastic on the nude skin.
