During the last several weeks, we’ve been receiving an increasing number of questions about how to convince your partner to try nudism. Or in some cases even how to make them allow you to be naked. Maybe it’s the time of the year, spring is in the air and the opportunities to spend some time outside without clothes are growing. You see the pictures on social media and you dream of joining. But your better … Read more
When chatting with naturists, nudists, or anyone we meet without clothes, one regret echoes universally: “I wish I had discovered this sooner in my life.” You can see in their eyes how much they wish they could turn back time and spend those previous decades enjoying nude beaches or clothes-free resorts. Digging deeper into why it took them so long to finally take that first step, we hear the same reasons repeatedly. “I didn’t … Read more
Someone forwarded us this newspaper article today. Thanks to Google Translate, we learned that new rules will be applied to nude beaches in the German region Rostock, making it illegal to wear anything but your birthday suit. This decision is part of a new set of beach rules for the area, which is no less than 23 pages long. Obviously, the very first thought that shot through our heads was “WTF??? 23 PAGES OF RULES?“ … Read more
In case you’ve missed the news, here’s briefly what happened: Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori were not invited to the Grammys but showed up anyway. He was wearing his typical fully black attire and Bianca had a thick black fur coat. When they arrive at the red carpet, Bianca turns around, takes off the coat, and appears to be fully naked. Well, technically she was wearing a dress, but one that’s more see-through … Read more
If you’re a naturist content creator or just anyone who likes to share advice, experiences, or thoughts about naturism online, the terms “shadowbanning”, “Facebook jail”, “content removal”, and the most unfortunate one, “total ban”, probably make all the hairs on your body come straight up. It’s an endless cat-and-mouse game in which we, the content creators try to adjust to the tight rules of social media (and maybe bend them here and there) and … Read more
It’s that time of the year… the days are short and cold and it’s not really the best time to be a naturist. Unless you live in the southern hemisphere, then your birthday suit and your Christmas costume are the same thing. For the last two years, we have been fortunate to celebrate the end of the year right there, under the warm summer sun. This year we were in Europe but in the lovely … Read more
Whenever you’re trying something new, awkward moments are almost inevitable. Of course, it had to be you who farted during that first yoga class. It was you who stepped on the salsa teacher’s toes not once, not twice, but three times during a 4-minute song. Not to mention that hiking trip in Spain when you wanted to ask the gorgeous guide to help untangle your rope and said with a big smile “Quíta la ropa, … Read more
The other day we spent an evening with friends and the nudism topic came up. They had just moved to an apartment in Spain in a region that has some splendid nude beaches and although they had never visited one before, their curiosity was tickled. After all these years of visiting nude beaches, we can answer most questions without even giving it much thought. When am I supposed to take off my clothes? What … Read more
We LOVE Mexico. We love everything about it, from tacos to tequila and from mariachi music to the friendly smiles on the faces of the Mexicans. And we love the weather. There’s something mischievously delightful about scrolling through Facebook and seeing our European friends sharing photos of endless rain while we are getting ready for the beach. The downside is that we left our beloved Zipolite behind and are now in a place where … Read more
There are a lot of assumptions about who actually visits clothes-free resorts. Some think that those places are full of models, showcasing their bodies as if they are in a nude photoshoot. Others think the opposite, that it’s all about people who don’t care about their bodies. And then there is also the stereotype of the elderly naked white man with a beer belly. When people ask us who naturists or nudists really are, … Read more
