Local nudists
Return to DiscussionsI live in a large urban area, I only spend time with other nudists at my club outside the city. There are nude swims and bowling events which I have not attended as yet. I suspect there are many more, but privacy is probably the issue. I am sure there are small nude house parties, but they are probably limited to groups of friends which have developed over time. Not sure how to connect with them.
I will have to agree. Ive found that attending local meets and swims is a good start. But finding out about them is the hardest part. It would be great to have closer nudist friends that all love to gather and enjoy great company. With that said, it would largely depend on how well you "click" with someone. Other dont always view things the same. Be open about yourself. We may not have clothes on and nothing to hide. But let your mind free and let others know. Dont be a creep about it tho.
Hi,I am new to the nudist world, but so far, as a single male, only guys want to be friends. So local or not I'm afraid to even chat with some of them. It's not homophobia, just don't want to wind up inviting people over and it turning into something uncomfortable.So, how does someone meet up with people when it's so hard to find locals without a club, resort within 100 miles?I'm in Kentucky, so I have to travel to Indiana or Ohio just to get to a Nudist Area.Any help would be appreciated.To OP, good luck !
One of the toughest parts of finding friends is if you are a single guy. Lets face it ... people are just skeptical and cautious ... even more so in a nude environment. All you can do is be yourself and if that is good enough for them, they'll welcome you as friends. Of course, having a spouse, significant other is a plus. It may not be right but it's reality. Friendly people are friendly people. People don't automatically become friendly just because they take their clothes off. You'll see what I mean when you visit clubs and resorts and see the cliques.
One of the best ways to meet people as a single is to join a non landed club. Once you've gained the trust of the group, you'll be welcomed by many others that feel that ... you've been checked out. I know the feeling. Even though I'm not a single and my wife is a willing participant, I'd visit the club by myself on my days off and frequently after I retired, while she was at work. Once she started going more often on the weekends and on Fridays ... they asked ... "who is that?" I'd say ... "my wife." "I didn't know you were married ... blah, blah, blah ..." all of a sudden, now I'm a nice guy and accepted. It actually got me angry and got me to change my way of thinking about single guys.
Have patience and just keep trying to make friends at these social events. It will happen eventually. ;-)

Men outnumber women when it comes to nudism, online and real world. You'll just have to work extra hard to meet women and convince them that you're a good guy....just don't want to wind up inviting people over and it turning into something uncomfortable.
Remember, your house, your rules, you must inform everybody in advance of the behaviors you expect from them. Lay the ground rules and make sure everybody is on the same page.
Don't do the "We'll figure out the rules when you get here". That's a bad idea. The last thing you want is "Oh, I thought this is the masturbation area.", or "I'm sorry man... I thought it's O.K. to hook up with your girlfriend."Any help would be appreciated.
1. If you know a good trail, away from textile hikers, do a naked hike.
2. If you're proficient in Yoga, do a nude yoga night.
3. Anyone with a good movie collection, nude movie night.
4. Know any hot springs? Nude hike to the springs and dip/dunk. Enjoy it for the day.
5. Have some great games? Nude console games.
6. Know a professional Massage Therapist who's wiling to teach some nudists basic massage skills?

I will agree with you 100% on this. Getting accepted is the hardest part for a single male. Being a single male myself. But once your accepted, its a great feeling.
I wish that more people were nudists in our area. I am sure everyone has the same issue in their home towns.
Even with the improved networking available today through the internet its not always easy to meet new local nudists. Before the internet it was so much harder and I think a lot of people have either forgotten that or were not looking to meet nudists at that time.
Years ago the best way to meet local nudists was to visit local nudist places, which was harder to do as the location information was not as easy to find out, a few magazines and word of mouth was about the only way to find out. I think that actual real life meeting is still the best way to meet other nudists, living near nudist beaches and having a few easily reached nudist clubs without doubt makes it easier to meet others who enjoy nudity. This hasn't always been the case for me though, I've lived in big cities with very few nearby nudist places, where it was hard to meet other people to spend time naked together.
Meeting nudists online does work too, I've successfully arranged to meet them for club, beach visits or hiking. It might not be instant, you have to make an effort, a continuous effort, one post online may well not mean that lots of nudists contact you!
Without doubt though the best way to meet local nudists has been though visiting nudist places, which is much easier now that there are local nudist places. Once a few friends had been made networking became easier, meeting friends of friends, being invited to other nudists' homes and having them visit here, nudism has become a bigger part of life, the more time I've spent nude with friends the more other opportunities to socialise nude have opened up. I've been a nudist for many, many years, for the last 10 years or so nudism has become an increasingly larger part of life, due to a combination of having local nudist places to visit and a very conscious decision to take full advantage of this and the networking from becoming known at them. Its like other parts of life, making an effort on my part has been well worthwhile, the chances of more social nudity didn't just turn up at the door, I went out and looked for those opportunities. I'm still not nude with others as much as I want to be, but life has a lot more social nudism in it than 20 years ago.
