I’m new to this group but not new to nudism. A few years ago I discovered the beauty of going to a nude beach. I always dreamt of going to a nude beach, but the environment I grew in wouldn’t allow it. Finally when I moved away from my hometown to sunny California, I was lucky to live next to the ocean, and just a few minutes away from a nude beach. Married, with no kids, I first went few times to beach by myself, and enjoyed every second of it. I tried to convince my wife to come with me to the nude beach, but she refused. Then, we went on a vacation to Hawaii, and we visited a local nude beach there. I off coarse went nude but my wife didn’t. However, after that experience she was more open to the idea. A few days later we went to the same beach, and this time she found the courage and went topless, and she really had fun that day. A few months later, we went on another vacation, this time to Florida, and there, again we visited the local nude beach, and she went topless again, while I was nude.
When we came back from this vacation, she agreed to go with me to the local nude beach that was close to our house. After a couple of times there, she discovered the beauty of being totally nude on the beach and we went there every other week, and enjoyed being nude. Then we had our first child, and we took our son to the beach with us when he was less than a year old. Unfortunately, we had to move to the Midwest, far away from nude beaches. Now our son is 4 years old, and we miss the nude beach experience. The only place we can go nude is in a resort hundreds miles away. But this the problem is that we are afraid that our son, who is talking now, will tell everybody about the “nude experience”, especially his friends (and their parents), his teachers, and everyone else. My wife is a teacher, and we are afraid that it could affect her job. Any suggestions? |

When I took my daughter to the resort, I always made sure she was within my peripheral vision. Always cautious; never paranoid. Even if she ran off to the other side of the grounds to play with some kids; fine as long as I could still see her. And other parents would do the same with their kids. Never in all my years in nudism have I ever encountered a situation where there was an "incident" with a child. And I've seen people let their kid run off all over the resort.
Although it is a rare occurrence, there have been at least a few cases where terrible incidents involving a child have occurred at nudist resorts.
I'm not happy to point this out, but in the interest of accuracy and truthfulness, which are important in the nudist community, the fact is that incidents although rare have happened. They are even less likely to happen today because of the ability of anyone with internet access to conduct instant background checks. Most nudists at resorts where we frequent also help parents keep an eye open for the safety of their children.
It is also obvious in the news these days that an incident is more likely to happen at a school or at church than at a nudist resort. We live in Virginia. In the local news reports there have already been two incidents involving pastors and children at two different local churches in 2012, an incident with a child and a police officer, a child and a teacher, plus a child and a school bus driver.
We are glad that you have never encountered an incident, and we hope you never will. Seems like nudist resorts are safer for children than school, sports camp, or church.
Having said this, we still feel totally comfortable having children in my family at nudist resorts. We even recommend it. We believe that nudist resorts are among the safest places anyone can be.

I remember my very first trip to a nude beach when I was about 17 I had never been nude around anyone I never knew what I would see what was legal, illegal etc. But I freaked out when I was strolling the beach looking at shells enjoying a nude walk when I find a family in the nude and they had two kids both under my age, I panicked like omg was it legal for them to be nude there etc. The mother was very in sync with knowing it was my first trip there so she came over to talk to me to help me feel at ease. |

Just curious, did they ever like it? And if so, what do you think changed it for them? |

We raised both of our children as nudists, and for some reason they never talked until they were teenagers (and disliked nudism).

Though I do agree that a man and his wife should have outings alone without children...the beach is a nice place to take the kids and enjoy/experience family nudism there.
We've taken all our grandkids to our nude beach and they love it! 3 outta the four strip off and stay that way most of the day. The oldest usually keeps the suit on but they all went with us to Club Orient for a week, their parents included and...they want to go back!

My suggestion would be to make this a special thing between your wife and yourself. Remember the resistance your wife first had with your nude beach visits.
That's the general public persona. Why create potential problems. Your wife and you do not share everything with the children anyway and shouldn't. |

I agree with Bob also, We have been at Apollo Beach and seen kids a couple times. It's so natural for them and if anyone had tried anything they would have had a dozen people on them in a minute.

I have to agree with Balto Bob. I raised my kids as nudists and was at a nudist park every week with them.

I love these EXPERTS who either don't have children or never tryed to raise them as nudists. I was at the Baltimore Skinny-dip last month. Near the end of the day that last folks in the pool were a girl about 6, a boy about 12 and 6-7 men over 40, all nude. The kids were having a great time. The parents were out of the pool but watching, as were 20-30 of us who have raised children. TRUST me, kids in a nudist setting are VERY safe.
You can also, take children to a public C/O beach like Gunnison, etc. Due to how few kids are there, they will be carefully watched by the lifeguards, Rangers and ALL of us who have children or grandchildren. I just read about a child who drowned at a waterpark, with lots of kids I guess 1 could be missed. Most nudist venues are at least 80% adults. The (few) kids all have lots of us watching them,FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.
Bob
Have a nice NUDE day !!

I would recommend that if a family were to introduce children to nudism, it should be in a highly controlled environment at a facility with a good reputation with the highest standards. As a middle aged male, I would be very uncomfortable being nude around children, no matter what the age, if the parents weren't present, and also nude. These days, it's not a good idea to leave children with "strange" adults, clothing notwithstanding. Common sense should prevail here and not at the expense of someone's practice of nudism. |

I work with a bunch of rednecks. I live in a pretty conservative part of Florida. I live with two of my kids and 3 of my grandkids in a nudist community and I am the very first to tell everyone where we live. After the eyes get shoved back into the heads they come out of I never hear another thing about it.
My grandkids go to regular public school and the school knows where they live and any kids they choose to tell at school is up to them.
I'll be damned if my grandkids should be ashamed of who they are or their beliefs. To them naturism is the same as any religion is to other kids. Some of the other kids who live here are even in high school and they have been as open as my grandkids are.
If you feel you have to tell your kids to not say anything about nudism or the places you go then you are ashamed of it and that is reflected in your kids.
If you were Jewish or Catholic would you hide that too?
When I was raising my kids I was a gay parent with a gay lover and all my kids were completely open about that as well.
I'm not saying you should be as open as my family, but if you are ashamed of it, then perhaps you should start wearing clothes again.
During World War II Heinrich Himmler found a blond haired blue eyed boy of about 16 in a concentration camp. Because the boy just didn’t look Jewish he was sure the boy had to be German and was perhaps adopted. He offered the boy freedom if the boy would denounce being a Jew. The boy knew what he fate would be, but still refused and was then sent to the gas chamber immediately after.
To anyone who would dare tell me “It’s not the same thing” I would then say you are right. Nobody is going to send anyone to the gas chamber for being nudists.

We too were worried about our children spilling the beans, but for us, our two small children just tell our friends and family that we are going to a resort or a beach. They just think that going to a nudist beach or resort is just going to a resort or beach and do not specify the difference.

true but family nudism is a much more fun.
similarly as in west every one feels free to be nude even to his or her parents brothers and sisters so i want to be and want my mom and sisters to be.
our skin has not seen any more sun since our birth and as for as my concern i am hungry for it
