To think there is something creepy about nudists

100% more creepy than swingers in fact. In fact swingers are not creepy at all. Just a bit Alan Patridge-style embarrassing.

Nudists however creep me out.

If there were any in my street I would be very unhappy

As children we are taught about boundaries and modesty.
Naturists are pretty fucked up if they think that swanning around in the buff isn't going to impact on their children's emotional welfare.

Nudists are creepy. It's like they're hiding something...







...but where?

In answer to HazyMazy, it is rare, certainly at the spas I have been to. Possibly because the Dutch are not so immature about nudity. I presume sitting cross-legged or jumping into a cold pool would do the trick.

Oh, no.
Zombie thread - I had a question to ask.

What happens if a male nudist gets an erection. I assume people acknowledge it and maybe joke about it??? They surely can't pretend it's not there (as they are being so open about everything)?
Anyone know?
Just curious.

Page24 seems to be someone who was bored at 3 a.m. and went looking for ancient threads around children and nudism. Or maybe "bored" is too charitable. Presumably now banned.

Zombie nudists.

I didn't revive the thread, someone else did yesterday.

Must get back to playing Mornington Crescent.

Did you actually Mn search for 'nudists' to revive this six-year-old zombie thread, Saints?

It depends on who you consider a nudist.

I lived in the Netherlands for a while, and would never call myself a nudist. Neither would the many people of all ages who went to the local spa near where I lived at the time, who enjoyed a sauna, swim and sat in the garden of the spa, all without clothes and with only a towel to sit on. I dislike a sauna with clothes on which is very uncomfortable to me, and wish there were places like the one I went to in the Netherlands here in the UK. I have no interest in spending a week at a campsite without clothes, but a sauna in winter is lovely.

Hang on! Why didn't I know about this sooner? Nudist holiday camps?
I spent our first family holiday with my arms in a sink washing baby clothes and now you lot tell me I could have just packed a few extra bottles of sunblock?!
I thought I was doing well insisting on access to a washing machine.

Seriously, this is the kind of thing they should cover in parenting classes.

So how does it all work? Would we have to wear clothes on the plane? Hmm we probably would......

I was forced unwillingly into nudism as a child. I asked to wear a swimming costume and was told off for being silly. I spent a lot of time reading facing down on my tummy as my body developed. It's fucking shit. And however much nudists (I refuse to cloak it nicely as "Naturists") think it's not pervy, you can take my word as a former just-developing young girl forced to be naked around 100s of swinging bollocks men that there are plenty of old pervs in nudist camps.

And if nudists wish to do so, thats their right. But if their children become uncomfortable then cover up.

I can't help but think they must get some thrill from it.

in relation to swingers which someone brought up, my grandparents were swingers with the neighbours of the street. I found out as an adult, but then later found out that my grandma detested it and was forced into it.

There's no shop on the campsites we go to. They are pretty basic. It's part of the getting back to nature thing.

We get dressed and go into town to the local market/supermarket. If the children want ice-cream, we have to get dressed and walk down the lane.

I know there are camp sites with mini markets etc but we avoid them because although we are naturists, we find the idea of shopping naked a bit strange.

It wouldn't bother me someone else do it but I don't fancy it at all for myself.

Mostly in our climate I would be too cold and when it gets sunny I would be worried about burning.

I just found out there is a nudist colony near the cattery that we use - I can't imagine why.

How do they go around the camp shop though? Do they lean over the fridge and freezers and get sausages entangled with sausages and plums entangled with plums.

EEk and as for catching their manhood in the wire shopping basket as they lift it up to the counter to pay

No it can't and DB and I really don't discuss it anymore..ever.

But if I sit here, quietly, I can still feel the hot sun, chaffing sand, and if I close my eyes I can still see my Geog teacher's moustache and big thick thatch of pubes.

My dad burnt his nob a bit that day though, so there was some comeuppence....

DP and I are nudists.

We find being naked to be natural and comfortable, it removes boundaries.
