I think if you were to reverse the question and ask why there are so few younger nudists you would have part of the answer. These include the fear of erections, the cost of getting to nudist venues which are often a distance away, and for women body confidence issues.
I am trying to wrap my brain around the fact that this site (and others) seem to be frequented predominantly by middle-aged men. If I were to guess, I would say that the ratio of single males to all others is probably about 10-1.I understand some of the reasons (e.g. men more comfortable about self and nudity in later years, women's nudity still tied to sexuality, etc.) but that still doesn't seem to explain the imbalance. Any (serious) thoughts or opinions on this phenomenon?
I don't know if what you say is true; perhaps women are just more introverted on the lifestyle or have to deal with men being annoying, more.
I have tried to be nude as much as possible for a number of years, but it has been mostly to home nudity and laying out by my private pool. After I retired and was no longer worried about my job I felt I was able to venture out to nude beaches. I still haven't been to a resort.
Yah, why?
In my own perception, it is at this stage of life that you do not think of hang ups anymore. You want to exercise things that will give you more freedom. It is at this stage of life that "what if" will slowly melt down and eventually, disintegrate in men's attitude. It is at this stage that the things you wanted to explore but did not happened, comes true in whatever manner or ways.
I do love to be nude even in my early adulthood, but what if the neighbors sees me. What if my parents get mad at me when he sees me. What if my crush knew about my naked activity. Thus, I just resorted to go half naked only, doing and copying what my father did, wearing just panty in the house and in our yard.
But now, I am going 51, I have this daring feeling to go fully naked without worrying who sees me and without worrying what other people say after seeing me. All I am after is that I am free and I love the way it is NAKED.
rowenudity yours....
Agree with just about everything I read here. At 66, I don't think that I am middle aged any longer, but do enjoy the freedom that being nude gives me even if it is pretty much restricted to in the house. Even in the textile world, I have a very limited social life.
This is Mrs. Harley here, speaking on behalf of us women.Men are always speaking for us, and usually are way off track, on most of it.I, as a female have been enjoying nude sun tanning and being naked, as much as I can ever since I was 15 years old.During that entire time till now, I have never once been harassed or felt threatened in any way, what so ever.Yes, of course I have been hit on and have had many many compliments send my way, but at no time, have I ever been harassed to the point that I felt uncomfortable or unsafe.I and we, have been all over the world, and have explored and stayed at many various nude resorts and nude beaches, from vanilla resorts to more adult oriented resorts such as Hedo, Desires and Hidden Beach, and have not once either witnessed any harassment or had any of it coming my way.From my own experience and our own travels, the women are just as much into nudity as the men are, if not even more so.One can not use this site or sites like this one, to gauge what the actual ratios are ( men to women ) , when sites like this attract only older men or single / married perverts, with nothing but time on their hands and looking for a cheap thrill.You read or see so many older men on here who are married, yet there is no involvement from their own wives?You would think, that should be the real question here.Why are you married if, you are not doing things together?Especially the sharing of enjoying the sun and fun together, as a married couple.I would think, that if you are in a healthy loving relationship, that doing things together, especially in your later years, would be the most special and loving thing that you could do, for one another.If she is into nudity, then you are into nudity as well.But, if nudity is just her thing, than you are not with the right partner.Since men love to speak for us woman, let this woman tell you what we think.We happen to think that this site and sites like this one, are flooded with older married men ( sans wife) and single men, just in order for them to get their jollies off.The chat sections are nothing but older men and the forums are dominated with grumpy old men, with not one woman amongst them., yet they are married.The poster writes: Why are so many Nudists middle aged men?Being a female, my answer would be, just because they are looking for a cheap thrill, if the truth be known.Their middle age wife, probably has no idea that they are even trolling on this site, yet here they are.I could be wrong, and just as wrong as you males are, about us woman being in fear of being Harassed, by you males.It is just not so.A simple F OFF, will put a quick end to any unwanted conversations or any corny and unwanted pick up lines.To you married men, who are doing your own thing, without your wives being involved, Shame on you!Find something else, that you can do "together", besides you just thinking about yourself, while finding your own cheap thrills.
Great post Mrs Harley!
I enjoy being nude whenever it's practical, mostly at home as I live in a city, but also on holidays at beaches or skinny dipping with some fun friends. My close friends don't share my interest, and it's only in the last year or so that I've gone out and found a naturist club and swims where I can socialise with other like minded people. I no longer worry or care if people find out, and if I meet someone I know, then we'll have something else in common.
There are a genuine number of "single male" naturists out there, I've met many who enjoy the lifestyle, but their wife no longer comes along. Equally there is a darker side, the many trolls here and on other boards who are just living a fantasy, have no genuine interest in naturism and get their kicks from posting pictures and making inappropriate advances.

I should have mentioned, that every Single male that I have ever met, at any of the various resorts or beaches or events that cater to nudity, they have all been gentlemen and always on their very best behaviour.Where as the majority of the married men or the men without their wives in tow, where always the ones, that are always on the prowl.To me, Marriage means that you do things "together", especially when it would co e to being naked around others.If a couple are not into doing things "together" then why, even bother to be "together"?There are of course exceptions to that.The guys can play their Golf, us women can go shopping lol etc, but when it come to being naked around others, I would think, that they either do it "together" or they do not do it at all.That is why there are so many middle aged married men on this site, they are just looking for their jollies, in spite of their constant denials.Include your wives boys, or go find yourself another hobby, or someone that wants to share your interests with you.There is no good reason or any valid excuse, to do things on your own, without your wife being included.

Mr. and Mrs. Harley make the exact same misspelling, punctuation errors and bad grammar mistakes. Isn't that cute.
