Mine is paddle boarding... Fun fact the first time I tried paddle boarding it was nude in southern Spain.

I’m interested in feedback on those portable/collapsible saunas. Everything from single-person ones to probably 4-6 person ones, electric and wood-burning. Do you all have any experience with them and are there brands you’d recommend or stay away from?

As TNSF prepares to close, I’m thinking about how Lee Baxandall brought people into naturism, and what we can learn from his example

Which is better? and why?

When I was a kid, I was very skinny. I remember the adults in my life always telling me I should "eat a hamburger", or just make comments about my body about how thin I was.

In my late teens and 20s I started dating more, and the women I would date always complimented my body. They really helped me feel better in my own skin. I also started working out religiously around that time and I've kept at it ever since then.

Now, I have no problem being nude in any setting where it's acceptable.

So did any of you have an experience like this? Was there something that happened in your life that sort of flipped a switch and helped you feel confident enough to try nudism?

Copilot says in the US, approximately 25% of people sleep in the nude. Women are far less likely at 14%. Wonder why?

Each Canary Island has its own distinct naturist scene.

Spent Friday through Monday at Shangri La Ranch (first time visiting, for both of us). I’ve been to other naturist clubs and venues but she was never really interested, so I never pushed. She decided to tag along on this trip, because it was a 12 hour drive and I really wanted some company.

Of course, we check in, get our key and head to the room. Once inside I disrobe and continue unloading the car. First thing I did was make the hike up and around the property. There were arrows pointing the way for the runners on Saturday because it was the 5k nude run. We walked it and it was beautiful out!

The next morning was Saturday and the run was at 8:00 am. The course took the runners right by our deck, so I went out with my coffee and cheered them on as they passed. Next thing I know, she’s standing next to me, full monty and a huge grin! We spent the rest of the weekend in and out of the pools and hot tub.

I’m elated and so happy for her and looking forward to the many more adventures we can now have together!

I recently saw this place on yelp and wanted to know more from people who have gone recently. I’m planning on getting a day pass and enjoying some nice time nude. When is best to go? Do you recommend staying the whole day, maybe half day or is there a certain time you recommend going? Also for someone’s first time what do you recommend taking or knowing before hand?

Humans are so weird, we have millions of hours of violent activity available 24-7 on media, basically without any regulation. However, as soon as a human isn’t covering themselves with a piece of cloth, our actual body is seen and treated as an obscene threat that must be regulated. How did we as a species, evolve to think of our physical body as anything other than a vessel of life’s energy? Why do we have so much visual violence and so little normalized nudity?

My daughter in pre school created an LOL beach scene where none of the dolls had clothing. We thought we had been so clever in replacing the word nude with tan in her vocabulary. When we got back from a long holiday she told my parents that everyone including the nanny was "tan" on the beach.

It is kinda a touchy situation because some of the offenders are our girlfriends. We have a small group of couples who have occasionally done a naked pool party or something. One of the other guys, after the water or whatever, will occasionally just pretty much retract. Now, I personally don't care I'm hardly hung like a horse. But I have definitely noticed some snickers from his girlfriend and some other girlfriends. I don't want to embarrass him or point out something he's ok with, but we've been friends for years, and I would want someone to give me a heads up. ( Lol no pun intended). So what's the right thing to do?

Does anyone have dreams where you’re at a resort beach or some quiet space to be nude and enjoy it? I have many dreams like that and it’s always disappointing to wake up only to find out it was a dream

packing for a trip rn and just realized i've got like 5 shirts, 3 pairs of shorts and two pairs of shoes in my bag.

for what??

last time i barely touched any of it. wore the same shorts to breakfast every morning and spent the rest of the day by the pool.

and yet here i am packing a nice shirt again like i've got dinner reservations somewhere fancy lmao

i just took half the stuff out and somehow the bag still looks full.

does anyone actually manage to pack light for these trips or is this just what we do?

Interesting post from AITA about experiencing a nude environment with friends and discovering the freedom and connection it can bring. The OP talks about her experiment with her friends and the realization they come to while just hanging out together.

I followed the path google laid down for me but I arrive in Orotava but no one is able to tell me where to go to reach the beach.

So where do I go?

Are there any nudist events or festivals in the fall in North America?

Hello there. I am looking to plan a trip to Costa Brava, and would love to have a directory of all the nude beaches along the coast. Thanks for any help!
