I paid a visit to a nudist beach and it was great. I underestimated the time I was gonna stay there and didnt realise how good it was going to be so I stayed longer than planned. There was this old guy who got friendly with me and I hung around him and he seemed OK not like some weirdo if you know what I mean. I ended up with sunburn afterwards which I was surprised by seeing that it seemed like such a mild day and it was unexpected so no I didnt bother with sunscreen.
Very cool. I had my first nudist experience this summer as well. There are no nude beaches near me, but there are a few resorts that are as close as a thirty minute drive and far as an hour-and-a-half drive away from me. Like you, I met someone to talk to while I was there and spent more time there than I planned to. Got burned too, despite the sunscreen I used. My wife was not thrilled with my visit there, but it was the most relaxing time I have ever spent in my life. I felt more confident about myself after that day than I have in a very long time. I plan on going back when the season begins next year, but I'll o.nly be able to make a few visits because it is so expensive. That's why I wish there was a beach near me. I also wish I had someone to go with. I wish my wife was open to it, but she's not.
Well maybe not all sunscreens are made equal, I've got an organic type but havnt tried it yet. I'll wait till I recover from the burn before going back again. I was so glad I went and I've hardly told anyone about it, I'm being secretive about this I dont wanna get found out.
Nudism is rather new thing to me too, it turned out to be really nice experience. I haven't told anyone that I've been going to the nude beach during this summer because there are no nudists among my friends and family so I'd be considered a weirdo/freak I've hanged out and chatted with one older guy who is nudist for decades, so my initial shyness soon faded away... It would be great to see more girls there, I'd say that there are only 10% of girls.
I'm person with low self-confidence and nude time at the beach helped me in a way to feel better in my own skin. It's such a shame that your wife won't go with you, have you tried to explain her how good experience it was? When she realizes how much it means to you, you'll have bigger chance to persuade her to change her mind.
I've tried to explain it to her, but she is completely against it. It makes it difficult for me to go again because I know how much trouble it will cause if I go. I will go though because it's a part of me. Perhaps I should have started this a lot sooner in our relationship.
Accept the fact she wont strip off, try and meet her in the middle, find a nude beach with a mixture of nude and non nude, ask her to accept you for wanting this and you wont push her into stripping off, you both lie on the beach as you wish, give it time maybe she'll come round or maybe she wont....Its all about compromise
One of the big life truths Zebb, why don't you suggest her something like "nude afternoons/days at home" when no one else is around. You could talk, have a lunch, listen to the music, basically, do all the stuff that you usually do together inside the house. It could be a good start. It's probably too much to expect from her to go outside among other people.
great advice here, never try and force her to do it, but here is how me and my wife deal with it. she is filipino, they dont ever do the nude bathing thing, and they frown on nude bathing by tourists as well, it just offends them. anyway, she has no issues with going with me to beaches where people do go nude, even tho in the state that i live in its illegal to do it on any beach (im in australia) she will walk with me and swim with me while i am naked, but she will not remove her swimwear while we are near other people, regardless if they are nude or dressed. she will take her swimwear off while in the water with me as long as she is in water at least up to her waste so nobody can see her lower body. we sometimes take a wind brake that i made to put around our towels to stop the wind blowing sand on us, and this is the only time she will get totally naked because nobody can see us, and we have actually had sex a few times while hidden behind the wind brake. she is nearly 50 and has the body of a perfectly shaped 35 year old woman, so i dont know why she doesnt show it off, but one day i hope she will get over her shyness and finally join me in baring all at the beach. i should also point out that she gets very paranoid about the naked wierdo's who often lurk in the dunes, sometimes we have seen them with video cams and digital camera's with telephoto lenses on them, so i guess she has a right to be like she is when this happens.
yeah this puts me off too. I've been going to nudist beaches since a kid with family. However these days I'll go with friends, but unfortunately as a woman I won't go alone or take my kids anymore. It's a shame, but a small minority seem to spoil it for the rest of us.
That sounds like a good idea. I'll bring it up to her and see how she feels about it. She's pretty self-concious about her body, even around me, but I'll give it a try. It can't hurt.
my wife is fine with doing this, however it is very difficult to find the right time to do it especially when you have a 12 y/o daughter and a 19 y/o son living in the house. she can go to school and he can go to work, but that doesnt mean the coast is clear for us to get our gear off inside because we never know when someone will rock up to our home and knock on the door, and we would need to keep our curtains closed as well because we have lots of windows that would allow others to see thru, even our neighbours can see us, so we just dont bother with it. if both the kids are not going to be home one night (daughter sleeps over at a friends house and son stays with his girlfriend) then we know the coast is clear to do as we want, but being nude around the house at night isnt the same as doing it during the day.
Really? If opportunity arise, grab it. :2thumbsup: Especially because you live with kids and you don't have a lot of chances for something like that. "Night home nudism" ( what a phrase ) may not be ideal, but in my book - better something than nothing.
I went to the same nudist beach for the second time and I think I'm hooked, I should try Point Impossible next time and I'm not that concerned about being spied on and naked weirdos. Too tolersant perhaps?
but do you go alone or with your partner to these beaches ??? i dont care about these "sand dune" wierdos if i am on my own, however most of them appear to be "gay" so they might be taking photos, or video of guys on the beach, and that is the main concern i have being by myself, and you cant always avoid these creeps because usually they are lying in the long grass on the dunes at the top of the beach and have their camera with them taking shots. if i see them, i will walk up to them and tell them to fuck off, thats if they have not already ran away. i am much more cautious when my wife comes with me.
Voyeurism occurs at all clothing optional beaches around the world; it's because any number of people equate the human body devoid of clothes as an object of sexual desire. Thankfully, down here in Victoria (Australia) we're getting a grip on these slippery chatracters. At Point Impossible east of Torquay, police now regularly patrol the dunes snuffing out guys with cameras and generally bad behaviour like spying on naturists on the beach below.
North Sunny Side has funny stuff happening around there, I was there twice, there was the clothed guy with a hat on all he did was wandered up and down the beach and there was this guy with a hoodie who just sat there but never stripped off so there's two possible examples of voyeurists. There was also this old weirdo nudist there who was making sexual comments about me and I sorta looked teenagerish inspite of being 28. I was unsure what to do there. He even wanted to have a play if you know what I mean. He seemed like a pedo or something.
I would not go to Sunnyside even if you offered to paint my rissoles pink!! Sorry that was your choice, but I'm sure there are many people with very little positive to say about Sunnyside. It's just lousy! Really, even the locals have been trying for decades to get rid of the beach. They of course are a bit up themselves, well-off NIMBY types. Chances are the old guy imagined you to be a teenager and was trying to get a hold on you, pardon the pun. So he just might have unresolved pedophilia (which in this case would be less visible and incriminating in his mind in a openly nude public place because you were grown/adult. Consider yourself very lucky that you look younger than you are, but keep your wits about you when guys start tracking you and making approaches. This sort of behaviour is very unwelcome. There is a guy that wanders up and down Point Impossible, often pausing just off centre of guys on the beach, seemingly looking straight ahead through dark sunnies. You bet your nellie he's eyeballing something else. When nudists approach him, he about-faces and bolts. I do not appreciate being eyeballed by textiles and will matter of factly tell them to move on unless they have a justification to be there (e.g. walking straight past walking dog, passing again on the return journey; those that loiter just up front, pause, stair, stand arms folded... NOT WELCOME.
You're right, the beach is really short and there are hazards such as broken pieces of glass that have been smoothed out by the tides going in and out and not to mention the syringes there. I went to Point Impossible and it was great although getting there took a long time. I've now got an intertrigo rash on my groin and I could probably blame the sunscreen for that perhaps I should've left the genitals alone and not put sunscreen there.
