Hello all, we are a 24 year old African American married nudist couple. Needless to say, we don't see many people our age or of our background at nudist resorts. Nevertheless, we love to go to all types of resorts and clubs. We never feel like outsiders or anything, but it would be nice to see some younger folks there. We want to get involved with with groups and clubs that have a significant nunmer of nudist, but never seem to find those clubs. However, we do like the southern clubs more as they seem to have the largest number of people at them and we are people friendly nudist. Anyway, we dont't have grrpe or concern about our experiences, but we jus wanthed to add to the discussion. I hope the cultural limits that keep people of color and younger individuals away from nudism disapear quickly.
Thanks A&S (please excuse spelling errors, I have to run to class).

My very limited experience indicates that each club caters to a specific age group. Since I'm of retirement age I prefer the atmosphere I find at clubs that have predominately older patrons. Younger people would naturally feel more comfortable among a younger clientele. Both types of clubs must continually find ways to attract new members in order to grow and prosper. Those that cater to the older crowd aren't likely to attract many younger members unless they have activities that would appeal to them, but then the older members might lose interest. It seems like a real challenge.
Not wanting to hijack the thread, but I can't help but wonder why I don't see more people of color when I visit resorts. In the few clubs I've visited they seem to be very much under-represented. It would be interesting to hear other's comments on this, especially yours acouple005.

Over the years I have been to clubs that I have seen member from infant to late 80's that is what makes nudism great but I agree that even though there have been minorities at some clubs it hasn't a great number, but the folks that have visited were always welcomed to be part of the group.

I have wondered why teenagers don't frequent nudists resorts. I suppose it could be that teens are less secure in life, and are more self-conscious. They haven't developed the "I don't care what people think of me" attitude. Obviously that differs from one teenager to another, but compare and contrast a teenager to a a senior citizen nudist. The latter is a veteran of life, and has secured his or her position in life, and might not be bothered by how they are seen as much as the teen. I know I have drifted that way as I have grown older. I get to the point where if you don't like me, then you can politely buzz off. I'm not looking for social status that I don't already have. In my high school days, I was much more insecure than I am now. It seemed like I was always in the spotlight back then. Everything was crucial back then. My life was all ahead of me.
It's a bit like football players on a rainy day where the field is muddy. In the fourth quarter, a player who has been on field for three and a half quarters has a muddy uniform. He's not worried about getting muddy. The guy who has just come onto the field has a clean uniform. For him, being tackled might not be so fun. He might get his uniform dirty.
The teenager is like the new player with a clean uniform. The player who has been playing for four quarters is like the older person. He is not worried at all about getting tackled. He's been through it all, and is not impressed by a tackle in the mud.
Not that nudism is dirty!! However, it helps if you have been around the block a few times. It gives you confidence that a teenager doesn't have. Nudism can take some courage if you are younger, and more sensitive about yourself. Hence, possibly they might not be ready for nudism; at least a number of them.

The hot springs I go to in N. California has very few teens . Yet the Beach at Maui has it's fair share . Seems to me that a few on the beach are skipping school . Beats hanging out at the mall for sure . Also , a few more teen girls than boys most likely because of control issues would be my guess . Just my personal unscientific observation .

My personal opinion is that the younger crowd has less disposable income and are still establishing themselves by trying to aquire a home and be established at a comfortable level so that is where their money is going.

It's mostly that nudist venues are boring. You've gone swimming. You've played some beach volleyball. You have no idea what petanque is and you don't care. Everyone else is older and they're either chit-chatting or laying out reading. A couple of hours of that is probably more than enough to get bored, and not worth laying out the money or making the drive.
A downtown nude waterpark would probably work. But it would need some aggressive advertising. And if I were going to put that kind of money into a project, even I would probably decide to play it safe and keep the place clothed. Maybe I'd have a nude day once a month and take the loss just to see if I could make it work.
