If you’ve ever gone to a clothing-optional location, regardless of your gender, you may have noticed an unequal ratio of men to women. You may have even asked yourself outright, “why aren’t there more female nudists?” Well, you’re not the only one. It’s a topic that most people like to debate in real life and over the internet. *groan* But I promise it’s a subject worth talking about!  So is the reason because of a fear of being ogled?

No tan lines is arguably one of the most popular and fun benefits of tanning naked, but it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Anyone interested in nude tanning should research precautions beforehand, so you can enjoy your time in the sun without worrying about the hazards.  One of the most common questions people ask me about visiting nude beaches is “How do you protect yourself from the sun?” Okay, so that’s obviously not what people are asking me BUT in essence, it is. You see, the question is usually much more candid and direct like, “How do you not get sunburned on your (insert any intimate body part here)?” Regardless of what body part they happen to be most concerned with, the point is this: they have sun protection on the brain. And it’d be weird if they didn’t!  Skin Care For Nudists We grow up learning about how important sun [READ MORE]

One of the most common misconceptions about naturism, nudism or clothing-optional environments is that they’re sexually-charged environments. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m sorry to disappoint you. Does Nudity Equal Sex? It depends on the context. If I’m stripping down in my bedroom in front of my husband after coming home from a date night, you bet your buns that nudity in that situation is going to equal sex. We’re two consenting adults behind closed doors (or fences, hello backyard!) where nobody can see us. Now, let’s go back a few years when I was pregnant. If I’m in a public place, like your regular ol’ “textile” or “non-nude” beach and I pull out my breast to feed my child, is that sexual in nature? Absolutely not. I still believe in being somewhat discreet. I didn’t walk around with my breast exposed like I was showing something off or [READ MORE]

Blog Post by Katie J. It’s a question we get asked frequently by women and men. One of the common misconceptions is that you have to look “perfect” or have a “great body” in order to go to a clothing-optional beach like Haulover Beach. It’s also been said that “everyone at a nude beach is everyone who should be wearing clothes.” That couldn’t be farther from the truth. The fact is that unless you’re a professional model, we’re all going to have extra fat, scars, you name it. Friends tell me all the time, “I’d love to join you at the beach, but my breasts sag way too much. I have stretch marks, cellulite, and I just don’t look like an 18-year-old.” My body sure isn’t what it used to be. Having kids and stress take their toll on a body. But you know what I have instead? I have confidence. [READ MORE]
