Poll question: Have You Ever Been To A Nude Beach?
Or a nudist resort? -- If so, when and where?

I've never been... but even with my out of shape body, I'd have no problem being nude with everyone else. (But only if I had sunscreen!)

1. Yes
Black's beach in La Jolla..that was cool, but there is a an anything goes sex beach near where I used to surf in San Onofre and those people made me nervous.

29. From my experience,
people who take their clothes off at beaches aren't those who look best in the nude anyway.

4. No but I'd love to.
I know of at least one nude camping area in the midwest, and would love to go sometime. Hope they have a way of keeping the bugs at bay. ;-)

6. I used to belong to a private pagan family campground
That was clothing optional. That was before this store ate my life.

I love being outside naked - although I usually wore a loincloth because it is easier than having to carry a towel around to sit on, and because not many other people went around nude.

7. Super Paradise Beach in Mykonos - and I only went topless
I wasn't brave enough to take the bottoms off.

8. Yes - but I didn't know and it was winter
There was nobody else there (clothed or naked), and I only noticed the sign afterwards in the car-park.

Can't say that I'm desperate to go to one either - but then I'm not really a beach person (except for in winter - when they really are wonderful to walk along, fully clothed).

9. No but I have been nude on a non-nude beach.
I've been nude at a lot of places, parties and whatnot. I used to always get the naked parties started after our band played gigs. It was great fun.

28. Same here except more a waterfall and pond than a beach.
Also I played strip poker and lost a few times. Didn't bother me since I was rather jolly at the time! That was in the days wimmen were curious to see what I looked like. Back in the Taft administration.

13. My Parents and I went on a canoe trip with other families from work
The canoe trip was on the Wisconsin river, and it took us past the nude beach at Mazomanie. I remember that there was some weirdo flying his plane about 50-60 feet over the place in blatant violation of minimum altitude regs.

16. yeah
black's beach in san diego... of all the beaches in california, that was by far my favorite... absolutely beautiful... you have to hike down a cliff to get there...

i used to get stoned at the top of the cliff in the morning, walk down & spend the day there... the water is warm & clear... there are no rocks & the waves roll in gently :D

17. I went to one to visit my cousin but didn't disrobe
I was about fourteen years old and my cousin was part of a car selling caravan for a major auto maker. He had gone into a nude resort as part of a sales team to have the nudists test drive some of the cars. His mother (my aunt), my mother, his girlfriend, and I went to visit him and we drove right our car right into the resort but didn't exit the car. My cousin, who is kind of a comedian, came to the car to say hello. He was dressed up with clothes completely covering his entire body, although it was mid-summer. He had driving gloves, a neck scarf, a suit, dark glasses, shoes and was literally the opposite of nude. He said that entire nudists families, mothers, fathers, grandparents, children, etc. would get nude into the cars and go for a spin. My mother, her sister, and my cousin's girlfriend couldn't stop giggling. There was a sea of big round moons and pink skin all around us.

20. I suppose you could call them beaches, though none were by the Ocean
There was swimming involved.

Sometimes at Rainbow Gatherings I've walked around without clothes, but not all the time.

24. skinny dipping count?
there was nobody else around except family so I'm guessing that wouldn't count but it's as close as I got and probably as close as I care to get. I'm in fairly good shape these days but I don't think I'm prepared to be socially comfortable with naked strangers in that sort of setting... ;)

25. Wouldn't have called it a beach - how about swimming hole?
Lot's of skinny dipping holes where I come from - I never thought of it as unusual until I moved to California (a place I thought was the epitome of free spirited) and discovered that nude beaches and nudist colonies were sort of shocking to most people. There are a couple around here but they are very self-consciously nude beaches. Back home, you went and if you wanted to wear a suit you did, and if you didn't want to, you didn't and nobody really gave a rat's ass.

30. Never been, but it would be fun to go at least once
I don't think I'd feel too uncomfortable being nude at a place where nudity is expected, though everybody else probably wouldn't appreciate it. :silly:

31. yes ~
I've been to a nude beach, usually with someone.


Back in 2002, I spent 3 days walking around 2,000 people at www.rosencomet.com . When I was sure that there wasn't anyone around I knew I decided that it was alright to go 'sky clad'. IT is quite an experence!
