A local friend of mine just told me this story when we crossed paths downtown.
She works with 8th graders and each year the students must plan out a road trip. Not take it, just plan it
One of her students started by looking at local Airbnb listings and found mine. My listing is titled " Naturist Friendly"
The student asked her teacher what that meant. The teacher told her to look it and also pointed out one of the pics on my listing
that shows the house rules for the hot tub. 1. Use common sense 2. No swimsuits allowed
The student was intrigued and her travel plan ended up a road trip going between nudist resorts around the country. She said " people just want to be free" which I think is a great sum up of why we are nudist.
Who knows maybe she will really go on a nudist road trip someday.

May 24, 2022I do not quit understand, why you difference between boys and girls. To me it is just as natural to let the girls learn about , how a man looks like, as it is for boys. I would ask the visitors, before they arrive, if it is ok for you to be naked, when they come to visit. Then it is up to the parents to decide, if you can be naked under their visit, or they do not want to come, because you want to stay nude.

Oct 14, 2022Most important is to discuss with the younger generation about nudism. Smart tip: use TN for this!

Id never suggest TN as a staring point for someone beginning to explore naturism.[/quote] Neither would I, I think the online world is not the place to start, nor would I recommend naturist clubs, I'd probably recommend beaches or campsites where the atmosphere is more chilled out and you can either keep yourself to yourself, and then maybe start to mingle/ talk to people as you get more comfortableReactReply - HO

Id never suggest TN as a staring point for someone beginning to explore naturism.[/quote] I would NEVER use TN as a guide for nudism or introduction to nudism for anyone for a host of reasons. One main reason is what passes for nudism online and what real nudism looks like are worlds apart.ReactReply - HOOct 14, 2022
When talking about the "younger" generation one needs to be careful about over generalizing. Which youth demographic are you speaking about. Millennials, Gen Z ? These younger demographics are the most diverse ever so it is important not to see them as a monolithic group.

Recent data from British Naturism report says 1 in 5 young adults spend time naked with friends. It might not look like what you or I call naturism or nudism. Just another example of how hard it is to generalize about any one group of young people.

Oct 19, 2022Yes, that's the part I don't understand. It would suggest that they have some really screwed up perspectives on human bodies, self-confidence, nudity and more.

Oct 19, 2022IMHO, there's a distinct gap between nudist venues which totally deny any connection with nudity and sex, and those that acknowledge that some people like sex and are happy to have it with other like-minded people should the occasion arise. They have dances at most of the resorts I've been to, and while some people like to dance for the hell of it, most of the rest of us appreciate the flirtation that sometimes goes on. As I learned in college, "Dancing is a vertical expression of a horizontal desire." Or it can be. And I don't see anything wrong with that, any more than I'd come down hard against it in a "textile" setting.
But in either a nude or clothed setting, it's not about public sex. If people want to indulge in it, they should find someplace more private to do it as a basic gesture of respect for the feelings of the rest of us.
I do agree with the premise of the topic that younger people are open to being naked with other young people they know and trust, but they're not eager to be nude for nudity's sake. They'll shuck their clothes when it's hot-tub time or skinny-dipping, but they don't go out of their way to be nude to strangers, particularly older people. They don't see the point. Neither do I, really.
