| nude beaches Posted: 1/4/2007 8:32:05 AM | Due to the conservative, vanilla and mainstream nature of my marriage, I never went.
I'd go now, and intend to.
I'm very sad at the comments regarding less than culturally perfect bodies that should be naked in public or anywhere. It's a shame we've been so indoctrinated that we see a person and feel ok and comfortable with being disgusted and making unkind comments.
Only certain sizes and looks earn the right to consider a clothing-optional adventure? | |

| nude beaches - Hanlan's Posted: 2/25/2007 10:58:44 AM | Hey MidLyfeChrysalis,
Absolutely - go to a nude beach and enjoy yourself! There are a LOT of misconeptions about nude beaches and the people that go to them. Just go and have fun (and be prepared to tell the gawkers/a$$holes to leave you alone, end of story).
Yeah, it's sad to see so many posts here about how "it's just old wrinkly people" there... *** Newsflash *** - one day kids, if you're lucky, you'll look like that, too!
The beach in Toronto (Hanlan's Point) is pretty new and while there certainly is some drug use and drinking, it doesn't seem that it's so obvious as how people describe Wreck being. The police are fairly regular visitors, but generally tend to leave people alone and will come mostly when called (for the wankers who don't know how to behave - NO, it's not OK to stand around taking pictures, or - worse - hiding your camera and taking pics). I know that they were doing some plainclothes (?!) stuff last year looking for drinking.
By and large, the beach is self-policing and the cops are called only as required. There are enough regulars usually around that they will step in if they see a$$hole behaviour.
Is it warm enough for the beach yet????

| nude beaches Posted: 2/25/2007 11:29:40 AM | Not my game. Really dont feel like seeing a bunch of beach bums. Plus all those weiners out and about... it would be hard not to laugh out loud!  | |
|
| nude beaches Posted: 2/25/2007 11:54:20 AM | | over here, you can be nude on almost any beach you want, as long as no one gets offended by you. I always go nude in the summer, not in the winter though. | |
|
| nude beaches Posted: 2/25/2007 4:02:56 PM | This is something I have given a lot of thought on and I would like to visit a nude beach/resort at least once in my life.
There was a time that I would have been grossed out and laughed at the thought of visiting a nude beach/resort. I guess as I've gotten older I've become comfortable in my own skin and being clothes-free is a nice feeling. If no one is home and I have the time I'm usually in no hurry to get dressed. | |

| nude beaches Posted: 8/15/2008 11:45:59 AM | C'mon people, nude beaches are just beaches. The better they're managed, the more pleasent and safer they are. I've been to nude beaches in Texas, Florida, Kansas (yes, there is one), Jamaica, and California. Some are wonderful, but more often than not here in the midwest especialy, public outcry forces them underground or into private, poorly funded facilities, where public safety cannot be guaranteed as well as teh public one in CA, FL, or foriegn countries. It's a shame really. Jamaica, Austraila, and virtually every country on the Mediterranean, have literally hundreds of nude beaches, have NO problems with them. Here in the US on the other hand, the Christian right continues to force everyone else to accept thier beliefs, and sends hundreds of millions of tourist dollars elsewhere. It's only an issue if you make it one. | |

| nude beaches Posted: 8/18/2008 7:57:27 PM | | I've been to one in NJ. I plan on going back this summer or even in September. I'm a bit of an exhibitionist and love to show off for the ladies. Whenever I get stiff its always cool to see some positive rection from the ladies.there is absolutely no sex going on. In fact,I've seen a few people get arrested for masturbating.most people are just to themselves and don't want to be bothered. Its always good to watch but gawking is frowned on. I usually just keep to myself unless I'm asked to hang out(no pun intended) with some women. | |

| nude beaches Posted: 1/25/2009 1:24:57 AM | Ladies. Suppose you're fairly comfortable with how your body looks, but you say, you would - NEVER EVER- go to a nude beach. Now suppose you're on vacation, no one knows you, the beach is not real crowded and your guy REALLY, REALLY wants to try it once. He tells you how its his fantasy to chase his lady nude along the beach . He wants to playfully grab at her, splash water on her and make her giggle and squeal . Kind of like a Garden of Eden. Would You go?
Seems cute and sweet to me. Of course the younger and better looking you are the cutier and sweeter it would be I suppose, but what's wrong with being Young at Heart? If there's no children around, I think it would be cute when the guy is chasing his lady he gets a boner.

| nude beaches Posted: 2/12/2009 6:35:14 PM | this made me remember an old joke
How can you tell a blind man at a nude beach?
It's not hard !!!!!!! | |

| nude beaches Posted: 2/13/2009 9:09:27 AM | | I have traveled a lot, Europe, central america,spain ect, most beaches are at the very least topless , and you could always tell who is the american in the crowd, cause they are the only ones making a fools out of themselves, lol, i can remember one guy, It was in Hungary, who made an as s of himself over a large busted woman, the girls made a so much fun of him he lost his temper, and was asked to leave. IT is no wonder women in America are fixated with there body image....here there is so much pressure put on them to look perfect, if there a sag, strech markes, a few extra pounds, even pubic hair, they are ment to feel less then women | |

| nude beaches Posted: 2/13/2009 10:40:15 AM | | god no, full of wrinkly pervs, aul fellas with boners and one or two grannies with saggy boobs, not my scene mate | |
|
| nude beaches Posted: 3/18/2009 10:57:23 PM | Love them...social nudism is a great way to meet others, I travel at least once a year to either a domestic resort or Hedo II or III in jamaica for a relaxing vacation!

| nude beaches Posted: 3/19/2009 9:50:06 AM | | I've never been to one but I wouldn't object to going to one either. I would just have to be careful how much sun exposure I get since I burn so easily. I don't see why people get so hung up on this sort of thing. *shrugs* | |
|
| nude beaches Posted: 3/19/2009 9:54:56 AM | | Been to wreck beach in Van many times a long time ago..... It's just like any other beach, only it's clothing optional. | |
|
| nude beaches Posted: 3/19/2009 3:49:42 PM | | I went to a nude beach in barcelona and it was interesting... there were actually a lot of attractive people there, but then there were also some people you didn't really wanna see...lol. It would take me a while to relax at a beach like that when you're worried about putting your eyes in the wrong place...haha. But I'm sure it'd be nice if I got used to it. For now, I like regular beaches better. | |

| nude beaches Posted: 3/19/2009 5:51:22 PM | | I really miss Vancouver's nude beach, so very european! Sigh. Still looking for one in Ottawa... | |

| nude beaches Posted: 3/19/2009 5:55:03 PM | | I'm a fan of nude beaches. There is something so fantastic about lying naked in the sun. I say go ahead--get naked! | |

| nude beaches Posted: 3/19/2009 5:59:22 PM | I've seen quite a few when I was little...I thought I was living a nightmare, a kind of "Fellinian Inferno" so to speak Hope I'm not offending anybody but I haven't seen any good looking body in there (not to mention the furs display)...everything was falling (breasts, penises...) skin unbelievably white, tired looking...It took all the poetry of human body away. It was just meat. | |
|
| nude beaches Posted: 3/19/2009 6:14:35 PM | Never been to a nude beach. Love to skinny dip though, does that count?
LOL | |
|
| nude beaches Posted: 3/19/2009 6:20:13 PM | | Not really, most women look better wearing a sexy bikini. It wouldn't bother me as I have seen thousands of naked women and only a few have really excited me by their looks. Those beaches are not about sex for most, but you can get a full body tan or sunburn. | |
|
| nude beaches Posted: 3/19/2009 6:25:54 PM | | I enjoy being naked myself. However I am not make anyone watch a fortyfive year old fat man chunky dunk. I like midnight swims, the darkness hides a multitude of sins. | |

Hmmm. So clothing is the only art you see in us? Lol. I gotta agree that many who appear on nude beaches, well, shouldn't;but staunch believer in the poetry of free expression, unadorned, I've always encouraged the practice. Lol. But, I've swallowed hard a few times, at the spectre of others, and their view of me. Guess it's more of an acquired taste.
Love to skinny dip though, does that count?
Sure!! It just means you're the first one to hit that beach, or whatever waterfront, that day. Lol. I usually pitch a tent in the more primitive areas, sparsely populated, and with no more authority than I'm-here-and-the-authorities-aren't, I have declared several beaches to be clothing optional, and led by example.  My younger daughter unabashedly believes that her behavior is only criminal if a cop sees her do it (and we're way beyond beaches here). There is something infectious about that approach. | |
