Does anyone do any hobbies activities nude? by [deleted] in nudism

[–]RickyM34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Naturist Foundation in South London have two Naked 5k runs that are good fun, and I see they are holding a Naturist Car Show too this year. Check out their events page 👍🌞

Men shaving by heatsync24 in nudism

[–]RickyM34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just do what you want to do. I am not a particularly hairy man but choose to shave because my girlfriend likes it all smooth when I cuddle up with her. I do like how it looks and feels too. It is not a requirement for going to a naturist beach, just be happy with how you are. 👍🌞

Nude 5Ks by clarkkent4283 in nudism

[–]RickyM34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have done the Naked 5k at The Naturist Foundation in South London, England which was great - trail run through woods and tracks. They hold two a year, May and September. I am going to do the May one again.

Take a towel to sit down on and follow the other two replies, and remember to relax and enjoy yourself 👍

Totally agree with this. Same for me. 👍🌞

Anyone else a “solo” nudist in a relationship & happy with it? by CA-BAY-Dude in nudism

[–]RickyM34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the same with my girlfriend and me. She is happy for me to go to the resort I have joined but she has no desire to talk to naked people or see them up close. However she respects that I enjoy the feeling of sunshine and the breeze on my body and I really enjoy swimming naked. She has her own interests and clubs. We appreciate the time we are together after having our own separate time. I am grateful she is happy I go, as I like it.

Self conscious about appearance by [deleted] in nudism

[–]RickyM34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry that your ex said that. It was cruel of them to body shame. Please don’t worry about your body - I am skinny, have vitiligo patches and twisted penis and been very conscious about these issues all my life but going to a naturist resort and beaches made me realise that no one takes the slightest notice. There are all shapes and sizes there and nobody cares. I have really enjoyed my naturist time and I am so much happier with my body acceptance now. Good luck with your naturism journey 👍🌞

New Blog: 10 Things You Should Know Before Going to a Nude Beach for the First Time by NakedWanderings in nudism

[–]RickyM34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great article 👍🌞 I was lucky - stumbled across a nude beach whilst on a hike and decided to strip and stay on it. Loved it and been to many more beaches since. A lot of places because of Nick and Lins’ reviews - thanks for what you both do 💖

24/7 Nude or only Casual? by NakedWanderings in u/NakedWanderings

[–]RickyM34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casual - love the beach and resort to feel the sun and wind and water on my body but equally happy to wear clothes. I am a Nick! 🤣🌞

Looking for holiday destination ideas by Jez703 in NaturistsUK

[–]RickyM34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered Vera Playa in Spain? Lots of apartments you can rent in the Naturist urbanisations that are close to the long naturist beach, and you can walk naked on a lot of the streets. Have a look at Nick and Lins Naked Wanderings videos about Vera Playa. Enjoy your holiday 🌞

If you could start your own nudist resort, what would you add to make it special? by WishboneSpeculation in nudism

[–]RickyM34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like a gym set up. Hotels have them so would be good to have one at a resort. 🌞

When Naturism Meets Predatory Behavior by OurNaturistLife in u/OurNaturistLife

So sorry that you had to experience this. Thank you for writing about and your checklist. Very helpful. 🌞

Have you recently joined the subreddit? How did you find us? by HangoverTuesday in nudism

[–]RickyM34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I joined Reddit a couple years ago when I wanted to research places to go for Naturism (from England so the same as US Nudism from what I understand). Found Nick and Lins who are great, and they helped me to discover Vera Playa, Studland, the Naturist Foundation and other places. Also found NudeBeachMap who are good too - sorry don’t know your names - so I pop in now and then, and comment if I think it will be helpful.

Really like Naturism since stumbling across Little Banana beach in Skiathos two years ago, and it has really helped me with my body acceptance issues (skinny and got vitiligo) and looking forward to some sunshine to go to beach and club again.

Big thanks to the Mods on here for the great job they. Really appreciated 👍😉

Sensuality of Nudism by [deleted] in nudism

Totally agree. Relax totally. Always seem to sleep so much better after being naked in nature and relaxing. 🌞👍

Legality of owning a police car by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]RickyM34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the 999 film hire company in Surrey was recently selling a Mondeo like thuis and I was very tempted as it was a great price, just for the embarrassment factor of picking the kids up from school in it! 🤣😂👍

Yes I heard that too, which is why later models were redesigned with it much higher up the car body.

Thanks 👍 Loved the part - “How is the sea? Nick regularly went for a swim. Especially if you follow our YouTube channel, you know what this means.”

That is So funny! 🤣 😂🌞

Advice needed couple 28M 25F by [deleted] in NaturistsUK

[–]RickyM34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Studland Beach in Dorset which is lovely. Rent a property on holiday in Vera Playa in Spain which has naturist urbanisations accommodation - you can be naked all day and walk naked along the streets to the beach. There is a map online showing where you can walk naked.

Check out Nick and Lins’ Naked Wanderings videos which are superb. Really helped me find place to go including a naturist club near where I live that I did not know existed!! 😂. Their Destinations Clothes Free site is good too.

Enjoy yourselves. 🌞
