I would so much like to have people (fellow teachers) give their views of the closed minds of the political establishment school districts and such on nudism,if it got out you were a nudist or even posted photos of yourself could find you on the unemployment line. They try to tell us that its just not moral to flaunt your body for everyone to see,I myself think that its better to be open with our lifestyle

Jan 20, 2010They googled my name and nickname. Yes, I unwittingly signed my full name here one time in a post, not realizing that google could find this site. I had nudes on other sites, but they were private and not googleable. Now I just accept and move on and laugh.

Apr 24, 2010I agree, it would be so nice if we could all just be open about our lifestyle, but the system just does not work that way. Here in Europe nudity has become acceptable, and it is fine to have nudist holidays, go to mixed saunas, be nude at home, etc., as long as you do not shout it out and do it in private. You may meet collegues on the beach or in the sauna and that is quite allright. But putting nude pictures on the net is a different story. Sad, but that is just the way it is.

Feb 9, 2011I too am a teacher and would love to be able to be open about it. Only a couple colleagues know I am a nudist because they have joined me a few times on a nude beach. In Hawaii, we have so many beaches to go to and alot are extremely uncrowded. I often go to a secluded area of the beach near my home and am usually never bothered. Occasionally a fisherman or those looking for shells or adventuring will come and I never cover up because if I try to it becomes more obvious and I am already comfortable with being nude and others seeing me. I do frequent the regular nude beach to mingle and be more open to this. I have had former students recognize me and come for a chat while others stare in amazement. Anyhow, the administration would probably let me go, but our headmistress (small private catholic school) is also a frequent topless sunbather.

Feb 14, 2011Debbie and I are now retired, but we both taught and coached in Texas for years. Everyone we knew and taught with were aware of our lifestyle. We never really pushed it on anyone, but we never tried to hide it either. We even owned a club for several years, and had several of our fellow teachers out to visit from time to time. We decided that we were doing nothing wrong, so why try to hide it. We both had recieved great evaluations for years, and felt that it would be very hard to get ride of us over something that was not illegal. Years earlyer, we even had a friend that was a teacher who had interviewed with her local paper. Her picture was in the paper setting at a resort in Texas, during a convevtion. She got into no trouble and had several friends come out and visit us because of the article. I understand your concerns, but really feel that it would be in our best interest, if we were much more open. Sometimes it seems to me that we are hurting ourselves by hiding. By staying in the closet, we are admiting that we too think there is something wrong with what we are doing. Again this is only my opinon, but I wish we were all more open with what we do. We will never be accepted unless we accept it ourselves. It is a great lifestyle, that we are proud to be a part of. Keep it nude, not lude!

Especially if you are a male teacher!

May 30, 2012It wasn't too bad for me when i was in adult education, although i was worried of the reaction of people at the junior football team that i coached for 10 years. Now i'm a social worker i take care to keep my private life private. It sadens me that i live what seems like a secret life outside of work.

I never tell anyone about what I do or talk about it. I don't want anyone to think that I do this as I will come under fire.ReaccionarResponder - NA
Sep 22, 2013I'm gay and a nudist and a teacher. I'm fully out as a gay teacher at my school, everyone knows: students, faculty, administration and my partner goes to school functions as my partner. But I'm not out as a nudist. A few teachers know I'm a nudist and I took a colleague with me to Drakes Ridge Rustic Nudist Retreat this summer and he had a great time. He wants to go back and take his wife. I'm not sure what would happen if more people found out I liked to be naked all the time. I occasionally get paranoid and hide my naked pics online. Or hide the more sexual ones.

Isn't there also a nicer resort just north of Cinci that is easier to access than Drakes? I've got it on my to-do list for next summer.[/quote]Drakes is about a 90 minute drive from Louisville and it's at least 90 minutes to Cincy then on to the club. I'd rather go to Drakes Ridge. It's more rural, nice trails to hike naked and take pictures w/o a lot of people. Also, they are very welcoming of gay members.ReaccionarResponder

Even just being loosely affiliated with a school I'd lose my position.

I'm a gay teacher/nudist married to my partner. Everyone at the school where I teach know I'm gay, married to a man and there's no problems. But only a few teachers know I'm a nudist and no students, as far as I know. It's an odd world we live in when the naked human body is obscene. But I have taken one straight teacher to a nearby nudist club and I just found out another teacher loves Haulover Beach so I guess there's progress being made.

Dec 2, 2014Honesty is great, but the establishment has the power to fire you if they don't like something about you. I lost my teaching position because I was a whistleblower. We have a public life and we have a private life. We must be wise in deciding how to act in our public lives. After retirement, our life is ours.ReaccionarResponder - MIMiembroJun 9, 2021
I can tell you that Im Texas, even retired teachers can get in trouble. Teacher retirement in Texas can be stopped if any type of charges are brought up against you, even after you retire! Crazy but true, I read the paperwork regarding it. So even under retirement, teachers are held to a standard that non-retired are held. Doesnt make sense. Also, its not admins or state officials you should worry about finding you on here, its vindictive/troublemaking students who cause all teachers problems if they can, retired or not. Be safe!

I have read a number of stories of teachers being fired once nude pictures of them were found.

Mar 28, 2023I very much agree that our personal lives should not be an impact on our careers and elected positions. I was full time military as well as instructor for military and fire service. I also was elected school board and fire commissioner. I had to keep the different roles of my life completely independent and cautious when sharing my hobbies.
