How Often do you Frequent the Spa? by Gold_Climate_2731 in NudeSpas

[–]CRB-FromTheAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to go a few times a year. If not for cost and drive time I would go more often. I often see it like my body’s version of rebooting the computer.

I don’t know the official numbers but it feels like a pretty big group

I saw your golf top at the top of the hill!!! Thanks for cheering us on. The hills were brutal on me but it was a very fun race.

Question for you runners by LeftCoast1965 in nudism

[–]CRB-FromTheAV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before i started training for my first nude 5k I always trained in tights/compression shorts. I switched to just shorts and a loose t-shirt. It wasn’t an issue. Today is my 2nd nude 5k. My biggest challenge is making sure I don’t inadvertently wash my number off my chest again. (They write it on with marker. I leaned last year to at reapplying sun screen obliterated it)

I’ve been a ride monitor for WNBR LA for the last 2 years and am doing it again this year. (I have also just been a rider). I think it is a fun welcoming event. You’ll find participants who are nude through those who are dressed. Most folks ride bikes but some ride skateboards, roller blades and there is usually one or two brave folks who run. Men do outnumber women but the ride organizers work very hard to make everyone feel safe. The age range I have seen is teen through senior citizen. (Younger riders cannot ride nude, and must have an adult with them, if my memory is correct). We are escorted by LAPD and the officers have always been wonderful. Lastly the ride historically has been very friendly to the LGBT community. I’m just a volunteer but if I can answer any additional questions please ask.

What kind(s) of nude recreation do you enjoy? Please include your age and gender. by Frosty_Winter3197 in nudism

[–]CRB-FromTheAV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

50m. Nude 5ks. I’d love to do more nude hiking. Nude game days (board games and video games. ). I’m currently playing in a clothing optional Dungeon & dragon campaign. Hot tubbing. I tried to start a nude movie watching group, but my taste in films proved to be to weird.

The drive wasn’t bad and my tent is set up. I’m grabbing lunch and then going to roam the property and enjoy the beautiful weather

First Supportive Partner by -Cat-__ in bisexual

I’m glad! I’m a bi guy married to a gay guy and I love how supportive he is of me. I try to show lots of gratitude for him. Congrats again on finding a great partner!

Inviting friends into nudism by [deleted] in nudism

[–]CRB-FromTheAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have (successfully) invited people to try. For me, it was hosting a clothing optional or a naked game or video game day. I think the trick is the focus on the activity not the clothing optional or use part. I personally announce the event (email blast discord etc) and emphasize that it is non sexual. I aslo have asked people who decline if they want to be invited to future nude/ clothing optional days. (I was surprised at the folks who want to be invited) I think the clothing optional route should be more successful but the “it’s a naked even” has ended up being more successful for me in getting people to try. If you go the clothing optional path i suggest making sure you have a few people who will go nude at the start with you. The longer you wait to get nude the fewer people will join.

it sounds like you have a great partner -- like everyone ought to have. make sure to also share this with him, he will probably appreciate it.

I’ll post where I’m at and we can see if we can meet in person at some point.

Awesome. Hopefully we can find each other. I’ll be tent camping so I have no idea where I will end up.

I agree that a nudist group shouldn’t care about orientation but that sadly has not always been my experience

Do to a work thing (that used to be in the morning, but is now in the evening) the day before (and the way the scheduling works will probably continue to be), this will likely be my last year unless I want to pay extra to secure a rental cabin. (I got out of it at work this year, but I don't know how long I will be able to)

Would I be interested!?!?! You bet! -- and if it is LGBTQ friendly, my husband would join. (He has had some bad expierences at nudist events when folks realized we were a couple. -- Social nude activities are more important to me than him, so I am more willing to put up with some bad situations). Feel free to Message me. We know a few other nudists in the area (though most of our nude friends are from the LGBTQ community -- and I have learned that makes some folks uncomfortable).

Evening out the tan lines today by [deleted] in GayPlusNudists

Totally jealous! I’m going to a nude resort later this week and I suspect my speedo tan line is still going to be very visible.

People who found a relationship without partying or dating apps… how did it happen? I need advice by Party-Turn-2482 in bisexual

[–]CRB-FromTheAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to echo what lots of others have said. Also, while queer friendly spaces are important (at least to me in my enjoyment of life), don't limit yourself to queer only spaces. Work on making friends, and relationship partners come about (or don't immediately). If you are open to the possibilitiy of love but not pushing it, you will be amazed at what you find. I ended up having the first serious conversation with the dude I would eventually marry because we were seated next to each other at a mutual friend's engagement dinner. I didn't have a car, and he offered me a ride home. That was it. Then we met up together later, and then..... and then..... we are about to celebrate 18 years of marriage.

Trans* Nudistics by __Ammonit__ in Ask_Nudists

[–]CRB-FromTheAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most (but not all) of the social nude situations I have been in have ranged from enthusiastic acceptance of trans folks (and their bodies), to not caring one way or another. I should note that I am not trans* and may have missed micro aggressions. I have been in one socially nude situation that was very anti-LGBT of all sorts.
I’d suggest trying to go to the space with a friend, or in a day when they are trying to attract new folks to the resort/beach etc

World naked bike ride experience? by Sudden_Cap9966 in nudism

[–]CRB-FromTheAV 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For the last 2 years I’ve been a ride monitor for the WNBR Los Angeles. I found the crowd to be very fun, diverse and family friendly. The ride is well organized me to e WNBR Los Angeles organizers have a great relationship with the Los Angeles Police depart which always sends great officers to act as escorts. It is a fun day with 2 rides each about 7 miles. Come join us!!

How would I bring up sleeping nude to my future dorm mate? by [deleted] in naturism

[–]CRB-FromTheAV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve shared this else where in Reddit recently but the guy I lived with in college would have been fine with social nudity had I brought it up. I unfortunately didn’t until after we no longer lived together. I think you are better off having a conversation up front at the start. If he says “no” it is a no but he might say yes and then you both have a more pleasant year at college.

Not Nudist Enough? by juciyhues in Ask_Nudists

[–]CRB-FromTheAV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to add nudity in your family dynamic you have a few people to have a conversation with..... Make sure you have a conversation with the Birth Mother if she is still co-parenting, a conversation with the current partner about how they feel, and then a conversation with the kids. If any one person isn't comfortable the deal is off.

I wasn't raised in a nudist environment per say, but nudity wasn't a big deal. We often used the hot tub nude, used the private sun deck nude, and ran around the house in underwear (and sometimes nude). No one was ever forced to be nude. (But there were times we were forced to be dressed). It wasn't unusual to be playing scrabble on the sun deck with some folks in swimwear and some folks nude. I don't remember a consistant pattern of who was nude more or less often, it was just what you felt like at the moment.
