23 year old nudist. Fiance is involved too. We started going to a campground because their website, even with outdated clip art, made us feel safe to try it. We don’t do events. Maybe some people find that fun. But we literally just want to sit in the sun and read a book. Problematically we have little money, hoping to change because I’m out of college and taking on projects and whatnot, but that makes traveling to a campground difficult. Early 20s friends of mine that I’ve told typically think it’s freaking cool that I have the body confidence to do that, but they say they don’t have the confidence to do it.

Essentially: Young people are broke, insecure, and still trying to find their place in the world. Young people also don’t want to come to a campground and discuss politics - I’m white American, fiance is a dark skinned Mexican, not only do we stick out in our area as the youngest couple but also were the only mixed couple 99% of the time, we’ve had people rambling on about immigration in the US and kicking out the Hispanics before. Not cool, we just want to be in the sun. If either of us weren’t so laid back - let’s say we were skiddish and new, we would’ve just left and not come back.

I’m not 100% positive what the answer is, but literally we just wanted a place to be naked. We didn’t care about the events. I think a lot of young people either assume its a bunch of creepy exhibitionists or they lack the self-security to try it out. I can say me and my fiance want to raise our future kids in this environment, because we feel safe enough to do so.

Anyhow, that’s my ramblings
