First Time Social Nudist Experience
This weekend Jess and I did a day pass to Sun Meadows Family Nudist Resort in Idaho to catch a break from the heat wave we have been feeling, and enjoy the pool and of course being nude.
As the temp was quickly rising Jess and I took a reprieve from the sun and hit the shade to eat our lunch that we packed.
This is important to note that even though you may like to enjoy being in the sun, removing your tan lines, you have to take a break from it. Nothing worse than getting sick, sunburnt, or drained early. Plus, while still outside, we found it to be about 10 degrees cooler and with a slight breeze was just right.
After eating, I decided to get back in the pool to cool off and enjoy some sun. Jess, however, wanted to stay in the shade as the sun was taking a toll on her early.
As I was in the pool, I got to talking to some people I had seen in a previous trip to Sun Meadows, and meet a few new couples that I hadn’t seen. One thing you will notice is that at a nudist resort you don’t often get to hang out without someone saying hello and starting a conversation. Read this blog on what you can expect on your first time (or many times).
After spending 20 minutes or so laughing and having a good time in the pool I opted to get out and grab our stuff as I knew Jess would probably be ready to go, or at least hang out with her and shoot the breeze while we enjoy some social nudity. As I walked up, I noticed her talking to a younger woman so I sat my stuff down and joined them.
First Time Social Nudist Experience
In a short time I got to know a little about her and her boyfriend which were traveling throughout the U.S. and had stopped at Sun Meadows for their first vist, which was also their first time social nudist experience. She was a mid 20’s, blond hair, blue eyed woman and she made a statement that sums up all of my writings in one sentence, “when I go places I always feel like I am being judged, but when I am here and naked I don’t feel like anyone is judging me”. BAM. Ladies and gentlemen, re-read that sentence one more time, “when I am here and naked I don’t feel like anyone is judging me”.
I have found that when you wear clothes people judge you, more so because they are wondering what you look like underneath. Even if you are wearing short shorts or a shirt that shows your breasts, or good looking guys wearing tight shirts and jeans, they are always “wondering” what you look like naked. However, once you remove the layers, people don’t have to guess.
Most nudist I have met in my 20+ year journey will look at you, check you out, smile and go about their business. Are there ones that will give you the creeps, hit on your, stare a little longer (okay a lot longer) or maybe even try to hide a gentle rub? Of course, there is, and will always be. But these people are the exception, not the rule.
What Most Nudist Like
The overwhelming majority will look at you to take in your natural beauty no matter what size, shape, color, or marks you have on your body. They will take it in, because like them, you are joining them naked (or in some variation) in a society that appreciates being in the most natural of forms. I have been to many events and beaches where women and men don’t get fully naked and they get treated the same: respect, friendliness, and acceptance.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you are holding out not being a nudist out fear of being judged, and you don’t feel like you are in shape enough, or have stretch marks, or aren’t rocking a six pack and super hung where the ladies aren’t dropping their jaws looking at you…you have the wrong notions in your head.
Who Are Nudist?
Nudist are everyday people. We are doctors, lawyers, heads of boyscouts/girlscouts, teachers, cops, firefighters, veterans, librarians, federal/state/county employees, self-employed, unemployed, retirees, mid-career, early career, teens, families, divorces, moms, dads, non-parents, religious types, non-religious types, stay at home parents, heterosexual, homosexual, transgender, non-binary, binary, and everywhere else in between everyday people.
You will fit in, and like this amazing new nudist stated “you won’t be judged”…well at least by your looks 😉
So if your main fear is wondering what people will say and think about you because you aren’t “perfect”, you can help calm that fear.
Curious or my blogs have inspired you, but don’t know where to start?
Are you ready to try it out but don’t know where to start? I would find a local clothing optional resort, Air B&B, or safe group and go spend the day.
Stay clothed, or wear a sarong to cover up if you are uncomfortable. IF you get feeling more comfortable with the situation and want to try more, go a little further. If you don’t want to, don’t.
Stay 100% at your comfort level. If you want to try it out, I would call the place first and ask if it is clothing optional or mandatory nude. Some places may be clothing optional but don’t allow clothes in the pool or hot tub.
What is the worst thing that can happen, you don’t like it and you leave and are out some money? May you will like it, maybe being naked in front of others isn’t really your thing…but there is only one way to find out and that is to try it.
Hope to catch you at a resort or event soon…clothed or undressed!
Would love to add you to the gallery.
