What is the generic term for a nudist, venue?
I call Cypress Cove a naturist or nudist resort. Every place else I go, when describing it to non-naturists, I call it a nudist park. Not a nudist colony or naturist resort, because I don't think those words convey what I'm trying to share
With nudists, I can just say Rock Haven or Sandy Terraces or whatever. Just call it by its name. Each parks is unique like we are.
Not all nudist places are resorts, few are beaches and I dont know of any nudist place that could be called a camp. So what is the current general term for a place people go to get naked with others?
Can you clarify what you mean, we go to nudist resorts, nudist villages and nudist beaches and have never been confused.
You can call it what the dude at the Dollar General store calls it when my honey walks up to the register and recognizes her, and of course notices her lack of a bra underneath her top - "There's the woman from the naked farm around the corner!"
We grow such nice produce down on The Farm...and keep that Dollar General in business.
Best to not get caught up in the naming game since the English language can get you in trouble in a big damned hurry. Attempting to pigeonhole a venue seems unhelpful when the place has already chosen a name for itself. To me, focusing on the activity of sun and wind against the skin in a social setting instead of worrying about names keeps what matters front and center.
But if you must; if there is sand it's a beach, if there are tents it's a campground, if there's a motel its a resort. Nothing positive will come of referring to it as a colony or commune, terms that have fallen out of favor due to preconceptions still lingering from the sixties, where nakedness among many often included sexual interaction. That's a total no-no if we are ever going to educate the masses about wholesome, family bareness.
