Today, 23 September, is National Bisexual Awareness Day so to all my fellow bisexual’s out there I would like to say I am proud of you for being you.
Bisexual’s are often one of the misfits in the LGBT+ community. We are often labeled as “confused” or “in a phase” and somehow we are diminished or people want us to “pick a team”. To those I say, I have picked a team and it is coed. I am in the longest phase of my life which is about 20 years and can say I am proud to be who I am today…a married, nudist, bisexual, father and veteran.
Remaining aware of your surroundings can give you just enough time to react faster.
Learn nudist safety tips from Ryan, a Marine Corps veteran, self-defense expert, nudist, and founder/author of Everyday Nudist
Nudist Safety Tip: Situational Awareness
Not only am I a nudist, I also happen to be a Marine Corps veteran, Marine Corps Martial Arts/Close Combat Instructor, taught unarmed self-defense, spent over 9 years in the Anti-Terrorism community, and owned a business teaching self-defense, workplace violence and active shooter response. With all of this experience and knowledge I felt it is vital to share it in a new Nudist Safety Tip Series.
This series will be crafted to provide information that will not only help you in a nudist environment, but your everyday life (especially with the instability of many cities throughout the U.S. and across the globe). Whether in Spokane Washington or Los Angeles California, it is important to have a sold foundation of safety. I would encourage both men and women to read this, and most importantly teenagers so they can establish a solid foundation early.
Violence can occur to anyone at anytime. You are not immune, I am not immune. Whether at a store or a nudist resort, violence can occur with little to no warning.
A good majority of the time I hear women say they are not confident enough in their bodies (weight, breast size, stretch marks, etc.) to go naked in front of other people. This is understandable and I don’t blame you, hell, society has told you and shown you this since you were a child.
However, women aren’t the only ones that face this type of confidence issues…men face them as well.
Have you ever wanted to write about your nudist experience, but didn't have anyone to tell out of fear of not being accepted, people thinking you are a freak or just didn't know who you could tell?
I am always looking for guest bloggers to help me share a variety of perspectives and experiences with a growing body of viewers around the globe!
What is your morning routine? Do you open your eyes and immediately shift into third gear and go, or do you take time to set your morning in motion with something positive, and low stress. This could be mediation, yoga, stretching, or just sitting around in peace and quiet.
The way they portray things and people in movies, shows, social media posts/memes, and the news fuels bias and personal opinions. Slant it one way for long enough you will begin to think that way, even if you know if you. They know it. How do you think the 50 year failed war on drugs continues to spend billions of dollars every year with zero evidence that it has done nothing but devastate the African American community? If you guess media campaigns, you would be correct.
If you find yourself in the greater Los Angeles, or Southern California area and are looking for a great clothing optional place to stay, I would HIGHLY recommend Arroyo del Sol. Whether you are seasoned nudist, or looking for a great first time, you can't go wrong going here!
I, Ryan, suffer from chronic residual pain from my head to my toes, which over time resulted in getting major depression and anxiety. Also, having suffered many blows to the head resulting in several probable concussions, it has done a number on my memory and focus. To compound the issues, for 20 years I drank heavily to help me in trying to ignore the pain and override depression and anxiety. This resulted in becoming addicted to alcohol; however, on a positive note I just hit 4 years sobriety in June of 2020.
One thing I started to do several years ago to help clear my head was to paint. While I am not very good, it as a few hours to just release any stress, anxiety or issues that were consuming my thoughts and my life. To increase the effectiveness, I began painting things for other people. While many probably tossed them in the trash (which would be for good cause) it helped me to focus joy and gratitude in my work.
ook at the many protests that are occurring across the U.S and we (the white people) trying to tell our African American brothers and sisters “I know what you going through and I support you”. Truth breaker, you have no idea what they are going through unless you are black, indigenous or a person of color (BIPOC) and then you may begin to understand the oppression, targeting, and discrimination another person faces. Until then, you can only assume what it is like from what you have seen on T.V. or been told by another person
There are many health benefits of relaxing such as the reduction of stress, lowing your heart rate and blood pressure, increasing the blood flow to your major muscle groups, and…
