Mayaflya, you said that your club is "clothes blind". Considering that my wife and I are a nudist/textile couple, your club is of interest to me. Can you tell me what club it is?
Like I have said in other posts, since we are a nudist/textile couple, we cannot even visit nude-only places. :(

The dynamics of social nudism are indeed very interesting. Here's what I have observed.
Let's take a person with no social nudity experience - even a reluctant spouse; and place this person in the midst of a group of completely nude people - with a high level of interaction. More often than not, and severe phobia notwithstanding, if that person is the only dressed person in the room, feelings of embarrassment or vulnerability are soon overshadowed by the need for acceptance. It's not that the person necessarily wants to be nude; it's that the person wants to be accepted/trusted; which is a natural emotional need. And if nudity is the perceived necessary path towards gaining the group's acceptance and trust, there is an emotional "pull" towards disrobing. I witnessed this most notably with one person who brought his reluctant - if not adverse - wife to a nude group, who stated right away that there was "no way she was going to join in." Her need for acceptance kicked in after a while, being surrounded by completely nude people and being the "outsider", so to speak. By the end of the day she was completely nude.
What often happens then is a sense of elation, if not euphoria. By the time the lady I described above was nude, she was literally giggling emphatically. This is brought about by the sense of having "broken through" mental barriers and the sense of being accepted by the group. You'll often hear: "I can't believe it; I can't believe I'm actually nude!"; or in my wife's case, going from quietly standing to the side with a sarong - to being a completely nude and exhuberant socialite within a mere evening.
The other interesting thing I've noted is when a textile element is introduced in a nude environment, be it a clothed person or several. I have myself unconsciously grabbed a towel and laid it across my lap as a textiled nudist arrived unnanounced at a nudist get together; so I can understand how a textile presence can be awkward, if not a deterrent to a newby. The "group effect" is reduced, so the person becomes more aware of his/her nudity as a result. Some nudists just don't care; others will find themselves feeling vulnerable, because they see themselves through the "textiled" eyes of the other person/people.
I understand the need for C/O facilities. But ultimately, a fully nude environment is best to break through the mental obstacles one might face. The "pull" to being accepted within the nude group greatly facilitates disrobing and being a part of social nudism.

I have only been to two c/o resorts, where it seems all the staff are clothed (except for the one bartender/server I saw - She was topless).
Is it that way at all-nude resorts?
Do you know if at c/o resorts, are the workers required to dress or is it their choice.
Also I was wondering, what percentage of the employees are nudists? Rough estimate
The reason I ask is if I were to seek employment at a nudist resort would I be required to were clothes or a uniform?
Thanks for any info you can give!

At Solair in CT the staff generally works dressed (occasionally topless in the office.) Sounds like people are thinking about this way too much. Just go, get nude, relax. Or maybe that's just me.

Our resort is clothing optional, and where most people go nude all the time it is nice that clothing is optional. We have some members that are nudists but their spouses are not and they can come enjoy the resort also. My family are not nudists but enjoy coming to the resort for visits. Who knows one day these people might feel comfortable enough to take the plunge.

It's so members and visitors can distinguish between staff and themselves. Tehre's a good chance you would have to wear something.

I work part time here at TLR in maintenance, for the most part we wear clothes mainly for protection. However when we are mowing it is almost always nude. Two of the office staff are non-nudists but it is very common to see the owners in the office nude. At this resort it is just a matter of what job we are doing and what our preference is, we have no set rules.

Thanks for the replys.
I hope someday to visit TLR. From what I've seen on their website I think I'd really enjoy it. Hopefully this summer we'll get up that way with the motorhome. Do they have an RV park area?

TLR has room for any size RV you want to bring in. Contact the office for details but they can accomodate anything you want to bring in.

I've been to both types and if you know nudity is required that should be no problem since it is a nudist resort, I do have a problem at the ones that are c/o when you see folks in the pool in swimming suits. the perfect resort is one where you are allowed one or two visits where you are allowed to stay dress but nude after and if you want go in the pool or hottub nude is the rule.

Thanks,
I could look it up but I'll ask you. How far are you from Detroit? We like to hit the casinos every once and a while.

Our "club" (more of a camp) is clothing optional on the first visit, then you have to be nude after that. Also...swimsuits are not allowed in the pool or hot tub. But, when doing work (like when I mow, or when I helped put the wi/fi antenna on the roof of the club house..etc), I'll wear clothes for safety reasons.

How do you feel about resorts that require nudity?
