Very new to this lifestyle and looking to meet like-minded friends. It has been maybe four to five months since I first went to a nudie beach and then a resort in Tampa Florida. It was an amazing time and has sparked an interest in a whole new lifestyle for me! (4/3/19) What Ive learned so far: Its not sexual and the people you meet arent typically trying to pork you. The mood is typically light hearted and the people you meet are often some of the kindest non-judgement humans alive! Its hard to judge others when youre all butt naked. The community is welcoming and genuine and individuals will offer supportive advice and encouragement if you let them! There is a stigma associated with naturalism, naturism, nudism, whatever you want to call it, that makes people think its dirty or wrong. Since Ive bared all, I feel like Im experiencing a whole new perspective of lots of things. Due to that stigma Ive missed out on a whole community of people that are exactly my type of friends. Lastly, bring a towel. Thats more than etiquette, its mandatory. Lol
