hello
just wondering about pepoles thoughts
on nude beaches,
my children aged (boy 12) & (girl 16) recently watched on tv (diary of a teenage
nudist) they already went naked at home with
myself at times e.g in exetremely hot weather.
but would like me to take them to a nudist beach,
the question is i have only been a closet nudist at home with my family and a little
nervous going in public .
should i not let this worry me and go for it And enjoy the experience ?????

There is an advantage to taking them to a nude beach, in that, you can either place yourselves smack dab in the middle of everyone else or you can walk a little further down the beach and be by yourselves if they are uncomfortable with the crowds at first.
I would talk with you kids first and ask them if they'd like to try it. If they're comfortable with it, give it a try. If they are not, you may want to try a club or resort first. Hope your first trip to a nude beach, club or resort is enjoyable.

Several times I have seen the suggestion that newcomers to naturism should visit a private resort for their initial experience. This seems counter-intuitive to me, but I can't speak from experience. For someone approaching social nudity timidly, I would think the anonymity of a beach would be comforting. There is no need to call ahead and make arrangements, no fees to pay, and everyone knows what a beach is like.
I have looked at websites for several resort locations, and find most of them at least a bit intimidating, asking for prior notification and restricting attendance by single visitors. In exchange, I am offered a chlorinated pool and a volleyball court or "pentaque" (what is that?).
In contrast, I have on various occasions walked onto a beach, spread out my towel, removed my shorts and stretched out in comfort. On only one occasion have I ever witnessed someone mis-behaving on a poulated nude beach; and he was promptly (tho discretely) shown the exit by several users.
I simply feel that many hesitant naturists would be more comfortable in simply going to the beach (assuming a nude beach is available) to explore their options, rather than making arrangements in a formal fashion.
My $0.02 worth.

Nude One, find out where the clothing optional beaches are close to you. I'm not familiar with Australia to help there. Once there, you will wonder what took you so long to make up your mind. They are basically very family-friendly.
Hippie, There are fees to pay at many nude beaches, if only parking fees.
Clothing optional parks and clubs are often more comfortable as the environment is controlled, people are monitored. It also depends on where one is located and what is available.

nudeone,
Like you, I'm a closet nudest, but have been nude in public. I'm reluctant to go to a club, but find it no problem to go to clothing optional beaches. It may take a bit of courage to undress at first, but I believe its less intimadating than a formal nudist club or resort. Just my opinion.

I got to nude beaches all the time. I feel very free there and no one judges you. It will feel right when you're there and i think taking your kids there is a great idea! It is a experiance they will never forget!

Personally, I think the nude beach, if available is the best option to give it a try. I never seem to have extra money, but I can always afford parking fees. Plus the only rule on a public beach is good behaviour.
I guess it depends on the person. Some may feel safer in a closed, structured environment. But I enjoy the anonymity of the beach. There I know no-one and don't feel like I'm being judged, and if I am, I don't care. I don't bother anyone and they don't bother me.

I like the anonymity of a beach plus good behaviour but also appreciate structured club e.g. Brisbane Forum Social Club (Non-Landed) envoirment.
Thanks:Shining5687.

The downside of the beach is the idots that just wonder around gawking or worse yet, taking pictures. Of course, I don't have anything to worry about but my wife.... I wouldn't want to put her through that risk. While still working on it, I suspect she would feel more comfortable at a small resort.

Well now I can actually comment on this topic as I have been to both c/o beaches and nudist resorts. My comfort level at the resorts has been immediate and continues throughout the visit. My comfort level at the beaches is intermittent at best. I know at the resort that everyone there is there because they ARE nudists while at the beach any Joe Schmoe will show up, stay clothed, gawk and be there to just get a good show. I also know who to run to should a jerk appear at a resort - they offer a well controlled environment as Cheri said. My involvement in nudity was shaky until I went to the Eastern Nudist Gathering and then Sunny Rest Lodge because of the issues at the public beach, but now I know I can be a nudist and relax and enjoy when surrounded with people of like minds.

hi again
just thought i would let everyone now ny son & daughter & myself went to a nudist beach for the first time, on the weekend a bit cool for swiming but nice in the sun we both enjoyed it very much even played some netball with others on the beach.
i noticed my son wearing he's shorts after awhile i never said anything there, but on the way home i asked why he put them back on he said he had an erection and felt very embarrsed about it i told him not worry about it is natural. i wonder is that the right or wrong thing to tell him.

I think it was the right thing to tell him and a very mature way for your son to handle it.
You'll find many different opinions of this subject. Most will tell you that erections are natural and happen occasionally but that nudist etiquette is such that when they happen it is polite to sit, lay down, go into the water til the erection subsides. You son putting his shorts on was okay but it would have also been okay for him to take them off once the erection subsided. It would be good to tell him that this may happen again but that after a few more visits to the beach they probably won't happen as frequently.
Glad you had a good time at the beach. Hope you have many more!

Hi nudeone
Once youv'e been to the beach a few times you still might want to have a look at what happens at a club.
We have found people are far more friendly at a club and you don't have to put up with the gawkers walking about clothed with the possibility of photos being taken without your permission.
We also had a bad experience of being pestered by a man on the beach in Australia that was so bad that we went and found another beach
