Applewhite Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Has anyone been to a nude beach? Where? What were your experiences? Share with us. Yay to nude beaches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexaemeron Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Yes, Baker Beach here in SF. It's an unfortunate truth that the people who you wouldn't want to be naked are the ones who ostensibly are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuttlefish Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I've been to one several times. I was very nervous about it - I was also concerned about how I was going to hide "things" if I got aroused. Happily I did not have that problem....until I went with my g/f of the time. It was difficult to keep things "contained" shall we say lol. What hex says is true though - the most naked are the least desired! Plus there is the issue of the total lack of pockets while being nude...where does one put their keys?

jengh Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Haha, I'm kind of intrigued by the idea. I'd try it once.... but people would need to shield their eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of the nude beach is saying IDGAF and just enjoying yourself. It's really one place you aren't judged and won't judge others.

jengh Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 That's why I'm curious to try it. I think it would help make me more confident with my body (it took a year to let my boyfriend see my stomach) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would help make me more confident with my body (it took a year to let my boyfriend see my stomach) See, I actually do understand that, because growing up, I was always told I was ugly and no one would ever want me. Now, I have such an awesome sense of confidence. I realize that if someone is choosing to be with me, that they accept me. If they didn't, they wouldn't be there. And if they don't accept me for who I am, then *I* don't need to be there. Once you really stop caring, it makes things so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm slowly coming around to that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applewhite Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 There are certain things I don't like about my body as well. But I was surprisingly comfortable at the nude beach. I guess part of that was because like you said, people that really shouldn't be naked are naked there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikero Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I walk around naked often enough a nude beach wouldn't be a big deal. Never been though. Hmm.....California road trip.....Is it in the cards? Maybe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexaemeron Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Yeah, you're totally right about that. I'm slowly coming around to that stage. Good. You should! You're a beautiful young woman and you should absolutely feel it in your soul and your skin. Not feeling good inside your own body is the worst prison imaginable and I'm so glad I was able to get past it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkly Eyes Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I really dislike my naked body. I never even get naked when I'm by myself,lol. I guess maybe going to a nude beach and seeing people showing imperfections can help my confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shuttlefish Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I think it's one of those things that should be on everyone's "bucket list" for sure...at least once. link removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikero Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 California would love to have you, Taikero! *gets his camera ready* I've always wanted to visit some wineries in California, but haven't been back there for years. Last time I was there I went through the Redwood forest area up the coast. Hmm, I should see if I can organize some time off later in the year. Could definitely have a fun road trip in California. As for the camera, make sure you get some of my right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People fawning over you wouldn't fix that either. That's 100% internal and within your control. Work on yourself to be healthy, fit and active, and just accept yourself for doing your best.

Americans are taught to be ashamed of their body and that nudity is repellant. We're such a hypocritical, stuffy culture compared with the rest of the world.

savignon Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I went to one in Spain and it was a great experience for me and taught me a little about myself (a. that I'm way too hard on my looks and b. use lots of sun screen!! Ouch!!) On that trip I did the nude beach and also went skinny dipping with some friends for the first time just to be able to say I've done those things.

I'm sure those naked people at beaches are happy about themselves, and that doesn't stop us from thinking that they are ugly and how we would rather not see them naked.
