Absolute Naturists Social Nudity vs Marijuana Use
Detach Posted: Jan 14, 2013	Actually, I think it's just a matter of lack of information. People used to be uptight about homosexuality until they were more informed about it. Now people are better informed about cannibis and starting to come around to seeing the positive effects of its use. I believe if mainstream western society were better informed on the nudist lifestyle and its benefits, they would be more accepting of them in their community.
Absolute Naturists What are the Biggest Nudist Issues to resolve/fix in 2013?
Detach Posted: Jan 6, 2013	the biggest issue I believe should be resolved is more fitness programs at the resorts. Many of the resort's gyms are small, have very little equipment in them and are tucked away in a shady part of the resort. It would be nice if the fitness venues were more exposed or made a focal point of the resort.
Absolute Naturists Gay Marriage: How will it affect Nudist Clubs/Venues?
Detach Posted: Dec 16, 2012	the gay community already dominates huge sections of the nude beaches in California. And asside from the occassional akward run-in with them behind the cliffs, they've been decent to be around. And there are current gay couples who go to our local resort. The female couples have been accepted by the community and the gay couples are kind of intentionally ignored. It does get creepy when they sneak away from their boyfriend to pay me a compliment, but it's otherwise no big deal.
Absolute Naturists Nudism and Obesity
Detach Posted: Nov 6, 2012	I agree that body acceptance is about accepting your own body, and the nudist lifestyle is helping me towards that goal. But you must admit that the nudist lifestyle has its hypocrisies. First, the lifestyle does consist primarily of out of shape individuals, though I suppose the same holds true with the U.S. society in general. Also, you aren't free from the textile world as people still wear clothing and adornments to stand out from the rest of the nudist community. Many people go around dressed at the resorts and still wear way too much jewelry when nude to establish themselves as superior to the rest of the community. And finally, nudists nowadays are a very sexual society. I'm sure you've experienced the advances of women, who proposition you, grab you or kiss you even if you are in a steady relationship. But you are right, the condition of other people's bodies isn't our business to judge. Thus, it's not acceptance of the various body types, but rather tolerance that we exercise at the nudist venues.
Absolute Naturists Nudism and Obesity
Detach Posted: Nov 5, 2012	I'm probably missing the meaning here, but I thought the purpose of the nudist lifestyle was for health purposes, thus most nudists are concerned about the shape of their body. Body acceptance meant you have the type of body that is acceptable to the general community. I think most nudists nowadays have turned the phrase "body acceptance" to mean "I'm overweight and out of shape- Accept It!" Oh well. At least I have the the resort's entire gym to myself.
Absolute Naturists I love to be nude because....
Detach Posted: Aug 24, 2012	I love to be nude because it helps me save on laundry and I don't have to worry about getting clothes dirty or wet when playing sports or swimming. Plus, let's face it- people tend to look 10 years younger when they are nude.
Absolute Naturists Nude/clothed interaction
Detach Posted: Jun 25, 2012	We've had to interact with clothed individuals this weekend at Glen Eden. There was a wild fire on the other side of the hill from the resort and there were cops and firefighters coming in and out of the resort. Some of us were talking with them and taking pictures of the helicoptors dropping water, but it was interesting watching what some nudists do to cover up. A select few were okay running around nude, but most either got completely clothed or wore a top or bottom. The interactions were dramatic, with the police controlling the crowds and the firefighters trying to get heavy equipment through the premises; but there was still a sense of shame among the nudist community at Glen Eden.
Absolute Naturists Does Being a Nudist Take the Thrill Out of Life?
Detach Posted: Jun 14, 2012	For me, nudism brings back a thrill to life that I was otherwise missing. My weekly visits to the nudist resort give me a reason to wake up during the weekend and be active. Also, the nudist resort also makes me appreciate the body I have whereas I was very self conscious about my looks before. By many of my friends' admission: I might have become the next Red Dragon were it not for nudity bringing me at peace with my appearances.
Absolute Naturists Teaching You Children About Social Nudity
Detach Posted: Jun 6, 2012	I'm not a parent yet, but my partner and I have discussed this and we hope to raise our children as nudists and give them the choice later on if they wish to resume that lifestyle or opt to live a textile existance. There are families living at the resorts who have children that stay clothed and tolerate their parent's nude lifestyle. So I'm sure it's complicated introducing the kids into the lifestyle.

Absolute Naturists Adult Only Nude Resort Policies. Is there an issue?
Detach Posted: Apr 4, 2012	So out of curiosity, who is in support of them banning kids in favor of a quiet adult retreat and who is in favor of them opening their doors to families? I enjoy a family oriented resort, but I'm glad that there is one I can go to that keeps it an adult friendly environment. It's just nice to know that is available to me if I so choose.
Absolute Naturists Adult Only Nude Resort Policies. Is there an issue?
Detach Posted: Mar 29, 2012	Yes Sunbunny, I couldn't have said it better myself. The parents bring their kids and let them run free as if the rest of the resort members are okay with playing the role of babysitter. I think I'm going to start going to this club that Elizabeth and John own more often, just to get away from the kids who can ruin a good time for us adults.
Absolute Naturists Nudism everywhere
Detach Posted: Mar 28, 2012	I found out on the nude cruise that I in particular have been brainwashed into thinking that clothes are just a common courtesy. When we had a knock on the door from maintenance, room service or housekeeping; we would say "just a minute" as we got dressed. I know it seems rediculous on a nude cruise, but we have been brainwashed.
Absolute Naturists Adult Only Nude Resort Policies. Is there an issue?
Detach Posted: Mar 28, 2012	I've met the owners, Elizabeth and John, on a nude cruise last year. They are a lovely couple and did a great job representing their resort. I think they are within their right to defend their resort as an adult santuary as many of us single adults are sick of dealing with the children that run around while the parents assume we are okay with it. and not have to worry about PDA's offending any parents or influencing younger individuals. It's nice to know there is a place where we don't have to deal with being splashed on, having little ones running around and the constant screaming, not to mention the toys left around/in the pool. As an adult sanctioned place, I think they are entitled to the same rules and regulations that are permitted to other forms of adult entertainment. Kids aren't allowed in adult novelty stores or strip clubs. So why aren't the lawyers attempting to sue these establishments to become more kid friendly?
Absolute Naturists Who should nudist fear most?
Detach Posted: Mar 18, 2012	I think nudists should fear the religious community the most. Much of what I have heard on the news involves religious groups or leaders keeping the nudist lifestyle from progressing. This has been the case with a local nudist group who used to rent out places like skating rinks, bowling alleys and such; an I believe this may also be the primary reason for the harrassment of beach visitors at San Onofre. Never mind the religous backlash from the '04 Latoya wardrobe malfunction incident.
Absolute Naturists Nudist Thoughts - Full-Timers vs Part-Timers
Detach Posted: Mar 18, 2012	Simply by social circumstances and living with a non nudist roommate, I consider myself a part time nudist. But I got a taste of what being a full time nudist was like when on a nude cruise last year, and I absolutely loved it. I envy those of you who are able to live like that all year.
Absolute Naturists What Characteristics Should A Nudist Posses?
Detach Posted: Mar 14, 2012	I think a nudist should posess the characteristics of: A) Being able to enjoy themselves when nude B) A desire to be fit and take care of their body C) A respect for others trying to enjoy the lifestyle.
Absolute Naturists Nudists and Body Image Hang Ups
Detach Posted: Mar 13, 2012	I personally have extreme hangups about my body. But I have to say, joining a nudist resort has helped me accept my body for all its flaws and return to enjoying life.
Absolute Naturists Poll - Best State in the USA for Nudism?
Detach Posted: Mar 10, 2012	I always thought California was the most nude friendly state until I moved here and it took nearly three years to find nude friendly establishments. Now living here, I hear great thing about the social acceptance of nudity in parts of Oregon and Vermont. I wonder how much of what I hear is true.
Absolute Naturists Security Gates - Should Nude/CO clubs have them?
Detach Posted: Mar 10, 2012	If nudist resorts didn't have gates, then any perve can enter the facilities. And who is to say that your children would be safe around these people. In order to maintain a resort that is safe for family and one where women won't be harrassed (or at least limit the harassment) by other visitors, there should be a barrier to keep the rifraff and possibly dangerous individuals out. Once you visit a nude beach and see the one guy playing with himself or the three guys down the beach performing various obscene acts on one another, I feel a security barrier to the entrance of a nudist resort is a great idea.
Absolute Naturists What is a Social Nudist?
Detach Posted: Feb 23, 2012	Isn't social nudism just another way of describing a streaker???
Absolute Naturists What are you doing for Valentines Day?
Detach Posted: Feb 12, 2012	I will be avoiding my partner the entire weekend since we are arguing anyway.
Absolute Naturists What brought you here?
Detach Posted: Feb 7, 2012	At some of our bigger events at our resort, I keep seeing a banner or a representative from Nudist Clubhouse present. So I thought I would check them out and see if any one else from my resort also uses this site.
Absolute Naturists Body Acceptance and Fat Unhealthy Nudists
Detach Posted: Jan 23, 2012	Has anyone considered that it may be the resort's fault that most of the members are on the heavier side? First off, they usually have a lot of lounge chairs for the members to use to just lay around doing nothing. And I personally am dissappointed in the size of and promoting of use the resort's gym - small, minimal workout options, and inefficient amount of weights. Of course they have tennis courts and volleyball, but most of the members who get involved in those do seem to have their weight and overall health under control. The point is, most resorts don't seem to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Absolute Naturists Photoshopped Pictures: what Are your thoughts?
Detach Posted: Nov 20, 2011	I love photoshop and make a very decent living with it. My ex girlfriend wouldn't let me post pictures of her online until I fixed her image up. And I'm always amused to see both the bad image retouching jobs and the spectactular ones. But if one knows photoshop and the human anatomy well enough, it's easy to spot pictures that have been altered.
Absolute Naturists Hot Tubs and Nudists
Detach Posted: Nov 14, 2011	I do often wonder that myself. I doubt the hot tub at our local nudist resort gets cleaned often enough, and it becomes apparent when you smell the water. Gross.
Absolute Naturists Gender Change and Nudist Clubs/Resorts
Detach Posted: Oct 29, 2011	I once brought a female to male transgender to go surfing with me at Black's Beach in California. He was a guy who still had girl parts. It was the first time he experimented with the nudist lifestyle and everyone seemed very accepting (or at least kept their discomfort to themselves). I doubt I converted him to the nudist lifestyle permanantly though.
Absolute Naturists Should Nudist Club/Resort Office Staff Be Nude
Detach Posted: Oct 13, 2011	Keep in mind- potential/new members may still be apprehensive about joining. Having a completely nude staff may deter or freak them out. Plus I've noticed resort members are more respectful to the management when they are clothed. People abided by the rules more when dressed management was overseeing the resort.
Absolute Naturists How Do You View Clothing?
Detach Posted: Sep 28, 2011	I look at clothing as a disguise used to fit in with normal individuals. It's a social etiquette in my opinion.
Absolute Naturists If Nudity was Legal, Would it Become Commonplace?
Detach Posted: Sep 28, 2011	I doubt nudity would become commonplace and those who would practice outdoor recreation in the nude would still be the minority. Even at resorts where one is allowed to be nude, you see people covering up. Those who are sincerely into fashion would still desire to wear clothes, and clothing designers would shun or place a stigma on those who desire to not dress up. In mainstream society, there would still be a level of shame associated to those who do not have the 'perfect physique'. Not to mention those who handle food, people's health, or tend to dangerous jobs may still wish to keep their skin distant from their profession. And of course, weather may not always permit an adequate environment for the nude enthusiasts.
Absolute Naturists Challenges to Managing a Nudist Resort / Club
Detach Posted: Sep 24, 2011	Biggest challenge of course is keeping corrupt individuals out. Many of the visitors may have sinister intentions when joining a resort. I found another complication (a recent problem at Glen Eden) is planning events for the members. Without an actual event coordinator there to plan the events or get members involved in the various themes, they are less interesting and possibly even a bust. Luckily, we have a new event coordinator and I wish her the best of luck in bringing a fun environment back to the resort.
Absolute Naturists Topless Equalty
Detach Posted: Sep 24, 2011	I think it would be important to point this out: There is only one woman on this blog defending topless equality for women. I think that says it in a nutshell- Sure women should have the right to be topless, but only so many would be active and participate in such a liberation. Based on what I've seen (online and at the real protests), the group who protests and goes topless are small, followed by a group of women who seem to ridicule the topless women as they gawk.
Absolute Naturists Butt / Genital Covers: Should it be Required
Detach Posted: Sep 14, 2011	In nudist resorts, it is required that you have a towel to place down when sitting on lounge chairs or in seats. I think it would only be a courteous gesture (and overall good diplomacy as a representative of the nudist community) to do it when in public venues.
Absolute Naturists Topless Equalty
Detach Posted: Sep 12, 2011	Women already have the right to be topless in public in parts of Canada and in New York and a few other U.S. states. However, women aren't excercising this right, so the overall liberation of women's topless rights may be hindered indefenetely. (resource: http://gotopless.org/topless-laws)
Absolute Naturists Family Nudists
Detach Posted: Sep 7, 2011	The only real problem I have with family nudism is when the parents let their kids run wild and expect the rest of us to participate in babysitting them.
Absolute Naturists Winter Nude Plans
Detach Posted: Sep 7, 2011	It doesn't get really cold here in So Cal and I enjoy the slightly cooler winters that California provides, so the winter will not impede with my nudist lifestyle.
Absolute Naturists Uninvited Photography of Nudists
Detach Posted: Sep 2, 2011	Is there really a problem? The nudist lifestyle is about body acceptance and this partibular community is about increasing social acceptance of the nudist lifestyle. I propose that, so long as you aren't doing anything vulgar in the shots, and aren't concerned with family finding out you are a nudist; that you accept gawkers and photographers as a typical part of the lifestyle. After all, isn't it hypocritical of us to penalize them for photography in nudist situations when it's perfectly acceptable in the typical textile world?
Absolute Naturists Are you an Absolute Naturist?
Detach Posted: Sep 1, 2011	Well, no. I am nude at the resort, but mindfull of my roommate and keep my clothes on at home.
Absolute Naturists The BEST thing about being a Nudist?
Detach Posted: Aug 28, 2011	I like being able to get out of the water, join a volleyball game and lounge in the sun without worrying about changing in and out of sweaty clothes or damp swimwear.
Absolute Naturists Are Nudists/Naturists Cool People?
Detach Posted: Aug 13, 2011	I don't know if nudists are a cooler people than mainstream society, but they are a much friendlier society where even strangers are easier to talk to. I seem to make friends more easily at the resort than I do in everyday regular life.
Absolute Naturists Why is nudity considered to be so awful?
Detach Posted: Aug 2, 2011	I hate to admit it, but I'm one of those guys who will look at a fat guy out in public without a shirt and think to myself "gross, cover up dude!" Does that make me a terrible nudist?
Absolute Naturists Is it just me or does it seem to you that nudity as a subject is popular
Detach Posted: Aug 2, 2011	The subject of nudism is becomming popular. And I'm glad - I was worrying the nudist 'trend' was dying since Latoya Jackson's wardrobe malfunction and the begining of the citations at San Onofre. I'm just so happy that it's becomming a popular lifestyle.
Absolute Naturists Most Fun Nude Moment This Summer
Detach Posted: Jul 14, 2011	The most fun I had this summer was two weeks ago where I participated in a nude water volleyball tournament and our team was undefeated. The rest of the day, nudist women were coming up and introducing themselves to me. Neither of those are a common occurrance, so it just made my day.
Absolute Naturists Is there anyone you'd be embarrassed to have see you naked?
Detach Posted: Jul 1, 2011	My close friends know, but I could never tell my family. I don't think I could tell my personal trainer either.
Absolute Naturists What is a non-nudist?
Detach Posted: Jun 28, 2011	When I first joined a nudist resort, I had the false notion that nudists shed their social classes and become accepting of the human body. This is quite false. At the nudist resort, I see women wearing wraparounds or accessories like chains, wrist bands, and huge necklaces just to make them stand out from the rest of the group. And just about everyone is wearing a hat- here in California, that's just common sense. As far as body acceptance, wrong again. One can't walk into a nudist resort without someone questioning any tats, piercings, or alternative modifications you may have. Which seems odd since no one questions the vet who is missing his leg or the woman who is missing a breast. Maybe I'm just ranting because I wish less people would ask about my modifications and also wish the woman I'm with would wear less 'bling' to make herself stand out from everyone else. But thanks for letting me rant.
Absolute Naturists Nude Fears
Detach Posted: Jun 10, 2011	Okay, I'm adding cooking hotdogs on the barbeque in the backyard to this list of things not to do nekkid. Worst Memorial Day experience ever. (:-(
Absolute Naturists National NUDE Donut Day
Detach Posted: Jun 3, 2011	Are any props given to the nude guy who can deliver a dozen donuts while holding a cup of coffee in each hand? :-P
Absolute Naturists Simply Living Nude
Detach Posted: Jun 2, 2011	Even in a nudist resort, I have noticed people wearing hats to keep the sun off. Does that disqualify them from being a nudist? Also, people wear special bands, special hats, purses or towels of some form to keep money in for purchases (the resort's cafeteria, bar or visiting kiosk retailers). Often the latter will be removed, but the hats typically stay on all day.
Absolute Naturists Nude Fears
Detach Posted: May 16, 2011	My biggest fear is getting my genitals caught on a barbed wire while hiking nude (came close once and was clothelined by a barbed wire across the shoulder when nude as a kid).
Absolute Naturists Complacent Nudists
Detach Posted: Mar 31, 2011	I actually feel we are losing the battle for social nudist rights. And living near San Onofre where they have started issuing tickets to the local nudies has dampened my hopes of future nude acceptance.
Absolute Naturists Nudist Club Policies on Married Men vs Married Women
Detach Posted: Mar 31, 2011	Why should married nudist men be treated differently than married nudist women? Unless the assumption is that only one of the members of the union attends nude venues.
Absolute Naturists Road Blocks to Public Nudity
Detach Posted: Mar 27, 2011	I think the biggest roadblock to social nude acceptance is religion. I understand that many nudists are spiritual or practice a religion of some sort, but whenever I hear of a social nude event being cancelled, it's usually from pressure from someone claiming to do it on behalf of their deity. This was the case with an attempt at getting a once-a-week gathering together to go nude at a skating rink somewhere near San Diego. It was cancelled due to one religious individual who had nothing better to do than to write his congressmen, threaten the rink owners, and scorn the group who was putting this event together.
Absolute Naturists Preferred Nudist Environments
Detach Posted: Mar 27, 2011	My favorite environment so far has been on a nude cruise. All sorts of options and ammenities to accommodate us while enjoying life without clothes.
Absolute Naturists 3 Most FUN Outdoor Things to do Nude
Detach Posted: Mar 25, 2011	Volleyball, swimming, and walking around with all your wobbly bits out (:-D
Absolute Naturists Discomfort with Nudity
Detach Posted: Mar 21, 2011	I agree with you. I just got back from a nudist cruise where we were allowed to go everywhere nude on the ship, even when it's docked (except to dinner or brunch). Even with that freedom, the girlfriend and I felt a need to cover up when housekeeping came in. But this cruise has spoiled me for the textile world and I'm sure I won't enjoy a textile cruise as much as I enjoyed this cruise. Oh well.
Absolute Naturists Nudists Offended with Nudity... huh?
Detach Posted: Mar 21, 2011	I'm sure the law enforcement in present day Unites States will inform us of offensive aspects of nudity if we tried to just leave our front doors completely naked- acception for those living in the nude resorts.
Absolute Naturists Why do people wear clothes?
Detach Posted: Mar 12, 2011	I wear clothes because cooking bacon hurts when I don't. Also, roommate does not appreciate the lifestyle.
Absolute Naturists Nude Cruises
Detach Posted: Mar 12, 2011	Ijust came back from a nude cruise to the Caribbean in February. It was the greatest experience being able to leave your cabin and not having to worry about getting dressed. The cruise line even got permission from port authority to allow us to be nude even when docked at the islands. I would recommend such cruises and I can't wait to go on one again.
Water Volleyball Players Glen Eden Water Volleyball
Detach Posted: Mar 5, 2011	Water volleyball at GE is fun, if you have the right people on your team. A little secret: some of the players don't have the best vision, so it could work to your advantage to use the yellow colored balls :-P
Water Volleyball Players best water volleyball?
Detach Posted: Mar 5, 2011	Best water volleyball experience was playing while on a Bare Necessities nude cruise to the Caribbean in February. The ship had a pool set up for water volleyball. It was challenging because the ship created massive waves in the pool. But it did make for great practice for resort water volleyball.
Water Volleyball Players Which clubs have Water Volleyball?
Detach Posted: Mar 5, 2011	Glen Eden has a group that is trying to creat popularity around water volleyball. If successful, there are plans in the works to build a pool solely for water volleyball.
