New to Nudism apprehensive
| Hey all! So Im a lil new to this and to the site. Hi... Im Drea and Im curious about being a nudist... Im cool with the idea of being nude, seeing others nude and others seeing me nude... Im a lil apprehensive about the idea of some of the questions Im getting. I understand nudism is totally cool and plutonic, family oriented, etc. Im not judging... YET I feel this sneaking suspision some of the questions Im being asked are within a sexual nature. I guess what Im trying to find out, in your experience, how much is genuine and how much underlining perversion within the lifestyle? Thanks! | |
| Hi! Welcome to our family. This website is about wholesome family nude recreation. And the clubs we all visit are about that too. If you are getting perverted comments, please report them. They have absolutely no place here, and those people would be thrown out of resorts for them. Just as someone who goes to a nudist resort for the wrong reason would quickly be asked to leave, I have no problem terminating the accounts of those on this website who make you feel uncomfortable. Nudist resorts, AND this website, are dedicated to a fun friendly and family atmosphere, with body acceptance, and behavior where no apology is necessary. Let me know if you have any questions, or if I can assist you in any way. Most of all... get naked, relax, make some new friends, and HAVE FUN! | |
| Welcome to our World, Drea. Nudism is about de-stressing, relaxing, and returning to innocence. It's not about seeing or being seen. It is about accepting yourself and others for who you are, how you act, and what you say rather than what you look like, own, or wear. It's enjoying the wind, water, air on you without constricting clothing. As Brian said, if someone is inappropriately contacting you please report that individual. I've been a nudist for over 40 of my 63 years and visited more than 50 clubs, parks,resorts, and beaches. I'd gladly answer any questions here or via email: travelites@prodigy.net - only I read that. Regards, Cheri | |
| Drea, welcome to our world. Please listen to both Brian and Cheri, they are both great role models to learn what the nudist lifestyle is all about. I know people like yourself that Cheri has been a mother figure to. She is a great person to ask questions of. Please report anyone who makes you uncomfortable. I know Brian and he will take care of it. This is a wonderful website and you will make plenty of new friends that are wonderful people. You can count us three as your friends. Maybe you will decide to come to one of the Meet ups in the future. | |

| Thanks guys! I noticed after a cpl days I was being bombarded w/ male friend ads and im's... thats not an issue but it started feeling like with some they were wanting me to spell out my nudist activities and it just started gettin a lil creepy feelin. Anyhow... thanks again... (watch me now make NO friends for horn blowin! haha) | |
| The vast majority of people (read men as the women it seems are 100% pure of intent) on here are here for the right reasons. This is due to brian running a tight ship. He is a nice guy that is into nudism for all the right reasons. There are very few real nudist sites and a lot of fake nudist sites so please don't get discouraged if you run into a fake site. The people here can steer you to the right places if you need help. You will quickly find that being a female in nudism puts you in a minority and you will get bombarded, upon signing up, with male friend requests. While some have creepy intent I suspect that a lot of men are looking for female friendship so that they can get the female perspective. As a female your point of view on things will be a welcome voice in all the male chatter. From what I have seen the women in nudism tend to stick together and watch out for each other. The men that are here for the right reasons could probably answer all your questions since we tend actually pay attention to the women that have asked the same questions before. Overall you will have a good experience here. If you can make it to one of the events you should take the time to come out. Meet the people face to face and see what nudism is about in the right setting. People come from all over the country so if you can make it to FL in April for the meet, the weather is great that time of year and Cypress Cove is a great resort. Best of luck | |
| Hey Drea, There's no doubt that there are shady people on here. But you seem to be handling it the right way already. Not to beat a dead horse, but if someone is out of line don't hesitate to call call them out and report them. But anyway, welcome and have fun! | |
| Hi Drea, let me also welcome you to NCH. What all these people have been telling you is spot on. Some undesirables will undoubtedly show up from time to time as those people have the wrong ideas about nudism, thinking it is all about sex. I have been going to the same club for 28 years and know of only one incident in all that time. A man was paying an inordinate amount of attention to children. He was escorted to the gate and blacklisted, which means the incident was reported to AANR (it was still ASA at that time). We nudists take care of our own because, other than for common decency, if we don't the life style will deteriorate into what so many already think it is. If you join clothesfree.com you will see on all their news shows that "wholesome family nude recreation" is the prevalent theme. Brian is a straight up guy, although I don't know how he finds the time for all that he's involved in, and he won't tolerate any crap on this site. It's not only NOT about sex, it's really not about being naked, but about being comfortable with who you are, and being comfortable with other people. Acceptance, in a word. Acceptance of self and acceptance of others. Being nude is just the best way to find that acceptance. Again, welcome to the club, stay happy and stay naked. Mike | |
| Unfortunately as within any group textiled or nude there are people who belong for all the wrong reason..report them and be done with them.. Nudism is a terrific way to find your way back to nature | |
| Hi Drea, What everyone has said has so much truth to it. Trust me, been there, done that, seen that... I know. I have "busted" a few on here too. It's cool, they should not be here. I won't repeat all the other's words again but whatever you do or however you proceed... always run your own life. Don't let others run your life. In the end, it's really about you and what makes you happy and feel good about yourself. | |
| Gracias para todo, guys! | |
| ...de nada...Senorita! ;) | |
| Not to seem dense, but your user name is "Just a Lolita" and you're confused about getting inappropriate messages from guys? Allrightythen. | |
| Is there supposed to be some sort of hidden meaning to that or something? | |
| Yes, Gaijin, there is a problem with a woman naming herself "lolita." Here is a definition of lolita: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Lolita . However, even with this being the definition of "lolita," it doesn't give ANYONE permission to be sending inappropriate messages. John | |
| I agree that people should not be sending inappropriate messages regardless of someone's screen name, that's not what this place is for. | |
| Well said Gymnostim. What would others say if Lolita were the real name? Would others then suggest you should legally change your name? Inappropriate posts have no place here, period. Jim | |
| I agree 100%. I busted someone a month ago that sent us a friend request that had a profile that was completely unacceptable. Unfortunately the men outnumber them woman 3-1 or maybe more. When this occurs, it is sad to say that woman will get bombarded by friend requests. Even if they do, men should be polite. Everyone should be nice and respectful. That is one of the benefits of being a part of the nudist community. When others become disrespectful, it end up hurting everyone and driving good people away. | |
| Not to send you away from this group but you can try the women helping women group also for more info and support | |
| The name Lolita should have no bearing on behavior. I once knew a family whose last name was Raper. They lived with it and didn't change it because people who knew them knew it didn't mean anything and anyone else didn't matter. | |

| My stepsister, a few months older than me, has been going to AANR resorts since she was little and tells me not to feel so hung up about going nude in large groups. My dad met my stepmother two years ago at a convention for chiropractors and was introduced to the scene when they were dating. When they first married, Dad raised the privacy fence and we all started using the above ground pool and hot-tub nude. I was a little embarrassed at first especially since my stepsister isn't "really" my sister, but I got used to it. Now I'm experiencing the apprehension all over again as this Summer was my first going in large groups. I'm so worried that I'm going to be compared to other guys my age and I'm real intimidated when my dad and stepmom introduce me to friends of my stepmom. I guess it's just that I'm used to being deferential towards adults and I feel humbled standing there with no clothes on saying "yes, ma'am, no ma'am". I hope I'm not making too big a deal of the situation. | |
| Unless you're a jerk when you're clothed, which I doubt, you shouldn't act any different when you're nude. I think you'll soon get over any apprehension. If people know you're a fairly recent nudist they'll expect you to be a little apprehensive and they'll accommodate it. My advice...don't worry about it. | |
| I just joined this group and this is an old post, but I wanted to say a few things - having read most of the thread. I am hopeful that you have become comfortable with being a nudist since the thread started, and I am sorry you have received bad messages from folks who seem to have alterior motives. Nudist clubs are NOT a sex clubs, but nudists do have sex - we are all human. Forgive the guys if you can, for taking the wrong path and not understanding, many of them don't mean to be bad, really. I am going to continue this in a separate thread. Bottom line, I hope you are doing well with nudism! | |
| Talk about butterflies; I had arranged for a day visit to a local park here in So.Cal. about three days ago. I was nervous as hell all morning, but when I got there I walked right into the office like I knew what I was doing, and no more nerves. Paid the gate fee, parked my car, stripped down, found a place to sit and relax, and the rest as they say is history. All in all, one of the best days of my life. | |
| Diablo, I, too, felt the same way my first time at DeAnza Springs Resort. Within 3 minutes he members made me comfortable. Now I am a member of Glen Eden and love it. | |
| BobT, why wait till you go to FL. You've got nudist venues not only in MD, but WV (2 hrs. from DC) as well as near Annapolis, etc. | |
| Having just starting down this road of nudism a while back from my home bound nudism. I would like to get out. I like the feel of the air on my nude body but it is hard to get out in the air. I hope to some day be at a location that I can do this. I really like and have skinny dipped and that feels wonderful. Hope to get to do more soon. | |
| I am also new to nudism and this website is my first "real" experience so reading all of these postings is very reassuring and encouraging. Everyone seems to have great advice and it's really nice to see that there are really wholesome, happy, and kind people here! | |
| I,m a 63 year old guy that made it through the 70's alive. We were free spirits. Skinny dipping with your friends and girlfriends. I've alwas had a liberal attitude toward nudity. Well when I retiredm in April I added nudism to my bucket list. As soon as I get a chance I,m going to Oaklake Trails for a trial run. |
