Question. Would you go to a naturalist beach?

It's my understanding that there is a very large...ah hum, nude beach in the South of France. I would go in a heart beat.

No, I do not have a body that women are jealous of and men lust over. I'm 5'6", 190 (ha, even here under three layers of anonymity I started to shave 5 lbs off and write 185. ). But, it's my understanding that naturalist beaches have more folks that look like me, than folks you would WANT to look at at a nude beach.

Anyway, growing up, friends always had ponds, but we didn't always have suits so we used to do alot of skinny dipping. I would love to go skinny dipping in the ocean, especially if I'm in the South of France where not another soul knows me.

What do you think about it?

Being an European, I never had any problem with nudity.

At 16, I suntanned topless on my allotment where the neighbors gardened left and right,
although I was well hidden by the bushes so it's not like I was exposed for all to see,
and I did cover myself if somebody came close.

I used go to a nudie beaches in Bulgaria, but the one I happened to had separate one for men and women,
However I wouldn't bat an eye going to the unisex as well.

Today I would go only if I saw same wrinkled, sagged bodies like mine, sure.


btw that reminds me - while I was living in the early 80ties in Germany, there was fashionable
back then for women to suntan in public parks topless.

I don't think I could do it..too self concious...sorrry, head hurting don't think I spelled that correctely feeling to short and fluffy at the moment..no muscle tone what so ever..eventhough I've lost the weight finally from the acute renal failure..yucky

What's the Justin B. song..never say never, maybe I would..that is how we came into this world after all.

I'm not sure. Now that I've lost 50 lbs, I might but my prudish upbringing may stop me.

Sounds like you kept up with your exercise program, Alli! Woo hoo, for You!

Re: body issuses -

I can assure you girls -and interested boys, too!- that from my experience on the nudist beaches,
an average body prevails.
Lots of silver haired seniors who don't' give a fiddle about a thing anymore :]
strolling along the waterline, hands crossed behind their backs,
not a tiniest worry on the mind :]

these are not the beauty pageant Argentina or Brazil type beaches,
but on the opposite - everyday, like you or me, average folks who despise tan lines and clothing that goes there.

You won't feel any better or worse from any other Eve or Adam over there

last but not least - 100%, as with everything else, this is but the matter of getting used to it.
The first day will be the most self-conscious, the second more comfortable, after this
one stops thinking about it and start looking for stuff in the purse between the legs spread apart. really! I saw that!
