Imagine going to a place where wearing clothing is
not required. A place where families can come
together and enjoy a day unlike any other. Indoor or
out, summer or snow, friends shed it all for a different
kind of living. A life free of crippling social
inhibitions with no need for repressive clothing.

Talking to Your Friends (Naked Experiences)
Jaak &
Friends
Talking to friends about naturism was strange at first, but a lot of my friends
think the idea is really good (even if they don't want to try). I've managed to
convince a few of them (fairy easily I might add) to come out and give naturism
a try at our clothing optional swim. Basically I just listened to their concerns
and answered them with as much information as possible, without trying to run
the conversation. I'd let them do most of the talking. As for introducing the
idea to them, I found it easiest to drop little hints or raise questions in a
joking manner. For example, at a house party where people are in a hot tub (Hey,
why don't we just get naked!) and then just fill people in with info from there.
Or the tradition, "Have you ever tried or thought about trying skinny dipping?"
It was a little weird bringing the idea up with female friends. It's kind of
strange to to tell your female friends to come out and try being nude with you
without seeming kind of creepy. Talking to them about bathing nude or having a
nude sauna and how good it feels (if they have no experience) seems to be a good
place to start. That way they can get comfortable with naturism on their own
terms. Telling my experience with naturism seemed to work really well too. I
still can't believe that in high school I didn't feel comfortable taking my
shirt off at the beach, and now I'm organizing a naturist club at my university!
Randall & Friends
My most successful attempts at getting others to
go nude with me has been at a clothing-optional
sauna in Maine. The ambience there is so relaxed regarding nudity that the women
I've taken have almost all tried it very quickly. Usually before going, I tell
them that it's c/o and that some nights a lot of people wear clothes and some
nights almost no one does. The choice is theirs. Since there is usually a pretty
good mixed crowd, very few with a suit on, my friends have chosen to get naked,
too. With one, this involved a discussion where we said that we didn't mind
being nude in public, but felt weird about seeing each other and agreed to just
not look at each other.
One other experience
involved the woman who is now my girlfriend. We had been emailing back and forth
as she planned a trip. Someone on the Campus-Nude listserve sent a description
of Harbin Springs and its URL. I mentioned this to my friend, told her that it
sounded interesting, didn't mention that it was c/o, but directed her to the
website so she could find out on her own. She did, decided that it sounded
interesting, stopped by and said she was the only solo woman there. She kept her
sunglasses on for some amount of anonymity, but enjoyed her first public nude
experience. Now that we're dating I'm looking forward to taking her to a nude
beach.
LEGAL
NOTE:
The naturist photo and video documentaries that we offer are legal in every city, every state and every county inside the United States. They are protected by the First Amendment and are not subject to local obscenity laws or ordinances. The depiction of adults and children nude in the visual media has enjoyed constitutional protection in the United States since 1958, when the Supreme Court vacated a Court of Appeals finding that Sunshine& Health magazine could be obscene (Sunshine Book Co. v. Summerfield, Postmaster General, 355 U.S. 372). The right to depict adults and children in innocent nude poses has been upheld without a pause for 41 years. In case after case, the Supreme Court and lower courts have always upheld the constitutionality of "nudity without more," specifically referring to the nudist depiction as a fully constitutional form of expression. Our website is widely visited in all of Asia, Europe, South America, Canada, Australia and Africa. The only exception may be countries where nudity of any kind is banned.
