internet nudist vs. in person nudist: My take on the variants of online verses in person.

In today’s day and age there are varying types of nudist groups you see on the internet.

As a long time nudist, both at home and social, I thought I would take some time and break down the varying types of nudist you will find.

This is online verses social (resort or group nudist). Nudist beaches are hard because you get a combination of nudist, exhibitionist, and gawkers so they can be hard to put in a group.

Reason I am going this is because people who have never done the social nudist thing can get confused. Or they turn to the internet, type in “nudist” and it is porn sites.

This confusion can often turn people off to the idea. It continues the stigma that nudist are swingers and models; ultimately, missing out on the true joy nudism offer.

So without further due, here we go with the internet nudist.

Genital Only Nudist

These are the types of people that will flood internet nudist groups and show nothing but a close up of their genitals. Like so close, you often want to respond to them and let them know they missed a spot shaving.

This isn’t nudism. Sure, they are nude, but only want you to see their penis or vagina.

At a minimum, I would love to see a full body nude even if you blur your face, much like you see what I do with Jessica as she doesn’t want her face show (and I respect that).

Leg Spread Wide Open Nudist

Trust me when I tell you it feels amazing to have sun on your genital area, there is a difference between spreading your legs and SPREADDDDIIINNNN your legs.

I think some of this goes on intent (i.e. feel good and sun your inner thighs or show be an exhibitionist). I have seen both online and in person.

Personally, I think most in person spreaders like the feeling of being free and how good it feels for direct sunlight and don’t always do it sexually. When alone, or not around groups of people I will for sure spread wide and enjoy the feeling!

Public sex “nudist”

These are the types you see openly masturbating, or conducting sex acts on a beach, resort, or gathering.

This isn’t nudism, this is swinging or exhibitionist. They just happen to be on a nude beach and are naked.

This occurs but just understand this is a different category.

Also, there are lifestyle friendly nudist resorts. Or in lament terms, a swingers resort that allows you to be nude outside your room. This isn’t nudism by AANR terms, it is only “nudist” because you can be naked.

To read about AANR and what they stand for I encourage you (after you are done with this of course ;)) to check out their website here.

Male Erection Close Up

In every group you go to you will find 1,000 men showing off their erections up close.

Congrats my friend, you have a nice dick (or in many cases you don’t but want to feel good) but you aren’t a nudist.

This is a huge turn off to many nudist and would be nudist as they think we are just a bunch of guys that walk around erect and want to put in your face to see up close.

We aren’t that way, so scratch them off the nudist list.

Young Model Type Men and Women

I saw recently an article that said the average age of a nudist resort goer is 55; however, I have seen over the last several years the younger generation showing up. Keep coming, or getting started.

What you see at a nudist resort, event, or gathering is real people in all shapes and sizes. Each person that goes nude, in my opinion, is a beautiful soul no matter their size.

Nudist are fans of the human body naked, however, don’t stay home because you think it is all models and you will stick out for not being in shape and having “flaws”.

We love your flaws and support you 100% JUST AS YOU ARE.

Don’t wait until you lose weight, hit the gym, do whatever you say you need to do, because trust me…1. No one cares and 2. You will never get to where you want to be as you will find something else “wrong” that you need to make better before you can be nude in front of others.

Real nudists support you just as you are right now. Besides, most people I know that hesitated for years kick themselves for not doing it sooner. Don’t let that be you.

Judgmental Nudist

These are the keyboard warrior nudist that feel that they must tell you how to live your life, what you are doing right, or wrong, and have an opinion on your body.

Many will often tell you how good you look, or how sexy a particular body part is of yours and what they would love to do to it.

This often leads to the misconception that if you go to a resort, or group setting, people will come up to you and tell you how great your butt looks, or that they would love to xxx your xxx.

This couldn’t be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, if you go to a AANR or TNS affiliated resort or group, it is the fastest way to end your trip and be sent home without ever being welcome again.

This isn’t how nudist role. Just because they are naked, doesn’t mean they are easy or they are looking for sex.

Shocker alert: some people love to be naked and NOT have sex. I know I know, shocking!

So if you are worried that you will be addressed like this, don’t be. If you are, tell them to simply shut the fuck up and go away, then tell a staff member. This is NOT acceptable one ounce.

Real Life Nudist

For the 90% (yes not every nudist is this way, however the majority beat the minority) you will be treated with respect.

You will find that people will talk to you naked and not think twice about it. If you are new, you will be greeted by many of the regulars. This isn’t to feel you out to toss a pick up line later, this is a genuine gesture that nudist do.

If it is your first time, or first time to the resort/event, they want you to feel welcome and part of the group. Whether you know anyone or not, you are part of the community.

On occasion you may see an erection. It isn’t sexual, males get erections. I will be doing a blog shortly on that but for now, just know it isn’t like the internet.

Are there swingers and exhibitionist at resorts and events, well yeah. However, they take it behind closed doors. Just be careful, watch out for “lifestyle friendly nudist resort” as those are swinger resorts with open, public sex.  

Not all nudist are the same. However, don’t think you have to talk to anyone, hang out and make friends, be super fit and young…just know, we are normal, everyday people from all walks of life.

We have one thing in common: we enjoy being naked (or partially).

Also, if you are new and not sure don’t worry. Find a clothing optional resort or gathering and go at your pace. If it is a must be nude place, get a sarong and wear it.  Being nude should be on your terms and it is crucial you have a good experience, so go at your pace and when you are ready (and when you are ready) then remove a piece (s).

Still really nervous as you don’t know what to expect and your mind is playing out a huge story? Let me help put you at ease with this blog on what you can expect at your first nudist experiance.

I hope this has helped you understand some of the differences between internet nudist and real-life nudist; ultimatley, changing a misguided perception you may have had.
