Male Bonding2
For those who like to explore the concept and dynamics of male bonding. Men are socialized in different ways in different societies, and so many men would like to have close male friendships, yet after spending time establishing a career, primary relationship and live in general, find themselves without close male friends. Many of us want male friends with whom we can share openly without...

Getting guys naked at campsite
Return to DiscussionsI wish I could convince more of my hiking/camping friends to get naked when we are camping which is usually far out into the woods. A lot of my friends know I'm a nudist. A lot have seen me naked and I've know many of them for years. It's rare but one or two have got naked and when that happened its because I had taken the lead. Its odd that a few are so resistant to the concept but at the same time don't mind if I get naked. I don't mind being laughed a or being the subject of stories later. On one occasion it was only three of us. I asked if they minded if I got naked they didn't so I stripped off my shorts which was all I was wearing. They did too and we had a great evening sitting around the campfire having great conversations. I'll never forget that and it was a bonding experience.
It seems to me that this would be an excellent opportunity for guys to be free and let it all hang out. I'm wondering what else I can do. I know that some are so inhibited by shame and false moral hangups they never would but there has to be a better way to encourage it.
I am lucky to have found a group to go camping in October. They are not all nudists, but dont mind me walking around or being with them naked. Some others enjoy it also but when it gets dark. Its a group of about 50-75 guys.
I even get to go out early on Wednesday to Sunday. There is a shower building that everyone uses. So you may have 3-10 guys in the building at a time.
Last year the organizer rented two camp grounds. Because its gotten so big.
Its amazing to have a group to enjoy this with.
I was nude camping twice this year. First trip , a friend went along, (a cancer Survivor ) . Him and I were the only ones camping the whole weekend. Amazing to walk around in the pines naked. So quiet! Seeing animals all over. Meadows, canyons and mountains to hike and explore. I never was worried about where I was. It was a dead end dirt trail.
The second time I took my wife and another guy from TN. To the same spot. Both times the weather report was for rain. But it was on the edge of a large valley (the rim). So very little rain, if any.
Both trips were great being so free to enjoy nature the natural way. But this trip with the guys is at a camping area. Not as ruff, but different in a good way.
Hope everyone has a great fall and winter. In Arizona we are ready for the temperature to come down some. Still can be nude. Instead of having to go naked because of the heat.
Naked hugs to all Jim
We have a clothing optional Gay campground only 90min East of Vancouver. I am there almost every weekend as I have a permanent RV spot. It's great in the summer as about 50% or more of the guys are nude, especially if it's nice and warm.
I would be very interested in joining you out there. I spend a lot of time in Mission, actually McConnell Creek and have been looking for places to go for some nude time in the sun and enjoy it with other like minded people.
