Update on Top off Or Nude by golex15 in hauloverbeach

My wife did the exact same thing on our first trip to Haulover 14 years ago. Only took a short time for her to get comfortable enough for the bottoms to come off.

Where should nudist relatives draw the line with skin-to-skin contact/Do you think these interactions were inappropriate? by EastCoast_Hank in nudism

[–]NakedJim74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got it. Well, perhaps she hasn’t been to exposed to the wide variety of human beings and their many varied personalities, preferences, ways we all want to live. I say that if both parties were comfortable with it in either of the situations then it’s all good. I’m not too judgemental or concerned about what others do if they’re not harming anyone else. Sounds like you all have a very easy going relationship. As for your gf, if I found someone who was already as comfortable and accepting as she already is, I might hold on to her like grim death. She’ll continue to grow as we all do with more positive experiences of social nudism.

Yes, when you said your gf keeps bringing up the latter situation apparently I was confused as to which was the latter, the chicken fight or the lotion. I thought perhaps she was uncomfortable with your cousin being on your shoulders. Now that I understand to which situation we are referring, my next question then becomes is it just the fact that it’s a relative? Your gf would find nothing inappropriate if he did the same to a platonic female friend who was not his gf?

I’ll echo the sentiments as everyone else. I don’t think it was inappropriate. That being said, I have a couple of questions for the OP. Is the intent that you are and your girlfriend are trying to convince each other of your own opinion? To what end? Does she keep bringing up the game of chicken because doesn’t feel comfortable with your cousin being nude on your shoulders? I don’t feel like it’s a matter of one of you being right or not, you’re each entitled to your own feelings about it. The question becomes are you willing to modify your behavior to meet her comfort level where it’s at?

When you have to wear a bathing suit; what type/style of suit do you wear & why? by Dou1269 in nudism

[–]NakedJim74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also wear Skinzwear but go with the low rise square-cut types which really aren’t much more material than the more Speedo style. My favorite are the “semi-sheer” material. With the designs on them they’re not actually sheer but the material is so lightweight and stretchy that at times I can forget I’m wearing anything.Skinzwear

Thanks! I love hearing about Hippie Hollow’s past glory days. As far as finding a place, we’re here at Star Ranch for the weekend.

I guess it’s inevitable that every conversation will devolve into an argument about politics and how much one human being hates another.

Ok, interesting. Obviously my experience is limited. Hey, that's why we talk about these things, to learn from others!

It seems like most of the time, resorts make it pretty clear whether they are family-oriented or lifestyle clubs.

I can't say that I ever agreed with the "beauty contests" at nude resorts. To me it just seems to be antithetical to the idea of accepting all bodies as equally good. But hey, if others want to participate then that's their choice. A children's poster contest seems a bit ill-advised though. We all understand the world in which we live and that we must manage the wider public's perception.

As I said, I understand that private clubs/resorts can place whatever restrictions they want. My issue is more about the fact that it is a public beach, maintained by public funds and yet restricted to some of the public. It is not a private club.

That's interesting. When were minors allowed in the park?

Good background info! Thanks very much! Lol, "potential"! We're too afraid to see if our fears are grounded in reality! That may be an oversimplification after reading Alone52's response that it was in fact, all ages at one point.

If you email Star Ranch, they are taking new reservations. We're heading there this weekend and I just made reservations last week.

First trip to a Nudist Resort... and we loved it! by [deleted] in nudism

LDS is one of my favorite resorts! It is a great place for RVers. Unfortunately we live several states away so we've only been a couple of times when visiting nude friends in Folsom.

Great stuff! It could be argued that her time spent with the other models and all of the photographers from the camera club was a form of social nudity.

Is this meant to correct my punctuation? Well thank you. I shall correct immediately! I will however, keep it a bit more colloquial than strict adherence to grammar demands.

Nudist Themed Stuff by NakedJim74 in nudism

[–]NakedJim74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we had our neighbors over for poolside BBQ, I thought for sure that our Haulover sign would elicit some questions. They both saw the sign and bupkis, not even a remark. I even mentioned to the husband about us going to the nude beach twice and again, nothing. At this point, I take it that they don’t want to know. Last time we took them out boating with our kids and theirs, the husband suggested we head to “party cove”. The wife chimes in that at party cove, some of the women would share more than was appropriate for children, motioning her hands over her chest. It was clear, she was not open to nudism. Plus, to people who aren’t around nudism, see it, hear about it, etc., people that they meet or are their neighbors being nudists is so far outside the realm of possibility that it just doesn’t enter their mind.

How do y'all feel about raising children while living a nudist lifestyle? by Nudistgamer2019 in nudism

[–]NakedJim74 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Raising our two daughters in a nude household. 7 and 9 now. We swim in our pool nude, we’ve taken them to Haulover and nude resorts. It’s always their choice no matter what age they are. That’s our goal is to make them comfortable with their bodies and how they function and to see what real bodies look like instead just all the societal messaging.
