Dear All

Hello

Hope you are okay.


Being curious, would you go to a naturist camp for a couple of days?

Or do you think they are places for voyeurs?

Please no earthy language. :-)


Take gentle care
Best wishes
Elizabeth, EOS

Would love to try it but probably about 10-15 years ago when I had a better body

Well, I don't think I am curious enough! I do think some bodies are best covered.......and I include my own nowadays. Don't think I'd want to sit where someone else had sat either. Bit of a non-starter for me however I look at it (no pun intended).

Hello Elizabeth

i used to work for a taxi firm and regularly took calls from a naturists club. it was then my task to try and persuade one of the drivers to take the fare lol. From long experience they used to insist that the prospective passenger came outside fully clothed as they wouldn't go into the building or grounds to find him!

Except one night, a certain gentleman had mislaid his trousers....... which provided us all with some amusement I'm afraid, as it was one of the more straight laced drivers who had to drive him all the way home to London. :-D

Funny you should post this Elizabeth - OH and I are just watching an episode of The Glades which features a naturist camp. Amazing how all shrubs, walls, fences etc., are at very convenient heights!! lol


Not for me ..... much too draughty!!

I've been to Croatia a couple of times, where nudist beaches are plentiful. I've got a lasting image of a group of elderly nudes standing waving at our boat as it sailed by - none of them the "body beautiful", but completely unselfconscious, bless them!

I just wonder how much it must cost them in suntan lotion! :-D :-D :-D

I think I've seen the same people as GeordieinNorfolk!

Was in Croatia many years ago and was out on a boat when lots of naked water skiers and windsurfers were waving like mad at us (with their arms mainly, apart from a few - it was very breezy).

It is very liberating to walk around with nowt on indoors, I don't think I'd withstand the scrutiny now in a public place.

Hello All


Thank you very much for the clean replies and good humour! :-)


I would go for one day only, if I could wear a giant fig leaf,
topiary in my hair and I would leave me specs at home(by family insistence :-0 )


Take gentle care all
Lots of good wishes
Elizabeth

I used fairly local naturist beaches in Suffolk a couple of times but only when it was really warm weather.

I have used the naturist beach in Kefalonia and also in Corralejo, Fuerterventura but again the weather was lovely.

I don't think I would go to a camp or club tho, it's ok to be more or less incognito on holiday but to be on chatting terms and first name terms with other naturists would be a step too far I think. It was bad enough that some of the regulars came up to chat to me and my friend in Suffolk all those years back, so embarrassing when you are trying to undress discreetly lol

We've been to Croatia a few times (when I was younger and thinner) and have been on beaches where we would have felt daft wearing clothes because no one else was.

If no one else is wearing clothes either you don't feel naked, if you see what I mean.
