Hi Josh,
I am a long time nudist here started back in te 1980s whilst on holiday to Spain. My partner and I enjoy nude vacations, trips to the beach and socialising naked with friends. We belong to a number of naturist organisations including British Naturism and a couple of local naked swimming clubs.
Check out bn.org.uk for more info we will be at their Nudefest event in July. There is also a very active YBN (Young British Naturists) scene.
I am
Only at home
And me
It’s such a liberating feeling. Once you try it you will be hooked. Beach is best place to start. ( A recognised naturist one that is)!
Sounds like you had the life!!
Yep I totally am! Love being nude
Me, I would be nude all the time if I could
I’d like to try
raised in a nudist family and still practice today
No better feeling then to be nude! I spend most of my time when I can with nothing on. It love to spend my day/night with nothing on. If I could spend all my time like this I would!
Love being stark bollock naked
I’m naked now. And will be for the next ten days at a nudist resort in Spain. All shapes and sizes are welcome. No one judges you.
For five years when I was in my 20s I lived near Shoreham Harbour, a few miles to the west of Brighton on the south coast of England. The harbour was constructed by stopping up the outlet of the River Adur and by constructing an artificial outlet for the river a few hundred yards to the west. Between the harbour and the sea is a nudist beach.
The beach is just a few hundred yards of shingle, with sand at low tide. Industry mingles with the port facilities; residential areas and commerce of Portslade, Shoreham and Hove are on the other side of the harbour. There were no facilities on the beach - no footpath or cycleway, no toilets. The only access is via the harbour service road (Basin Road South) or by walking along the beach from neighbouring Hove Beach: and so it is very secluded. When I lived in the area, a high sea wall, since demolished, separated Basin Road South from the beach. There was a large, twin-towered power station, sometimes giving a distinctive scent to the beach. This has now been replaced. Unfortunately there is a sewage outfall not far away to the west resulting in detritus such as tampons, panty pads, condoms, panties ....
It was totally unsupervised and very liberal -'anything goes'. Clothes were optional. Men and women would stand about in small groups chatting. We all had at least some views in common. It gave us a chance to speak to people we would not normally meet. Wearing nothing gave a sense of equality No-one would think it amiss to masturbate openly, for couples, different or same-sex, to have intercourse, masturbate or have anal as they wished. It really was a 'free beach'.
From the high water mark extending 50 yards or more down the beach are a series of wooden groynes to reduce the drift of sand from west to east, the direction of prevailing currents. Lying behind one of these, it was often possible to hear the grunts and moans of a couple enjoying themselves on the other side.
Brighton is well-know as a meeting place for those who prefer their own sex. Those I met were mostly unaccompanied. I was often approached, mostly by men, for stimulation both front and back. They were very considerate, polite and appreciative. Everything was agreed in advance. None of them went any further than I wanted. They were very careful, important in what was not a particularly hygienic environment.
There were people of all ages but with more mature than young people and more men than women. The majority were unaccompanied. I was working for the local town council. This involved visiting people in their homes. In connection with my work, one day I visited one of the men who I had met on the beach. He was in his 50s, a barrister, living with a young man: so I thought it best not to acknowledge that we had met previously (neither did he).
Occasionally, girls of no more than 13 or 14 would come, maybe out of curiosity. In those days before the Internet, there were not so many opportunities for girls and young women to learn about men's bodies.
I remember one warm summer evening there were two boys aged about 14 or 15 watching me masturbate. Soon they did likewise. I expect they were used to doing it in private but maybe not in public. I remember them being excited at the possibility of them being watched by the crews of ships sailing in and out of Shoreham Harbour.
Then I got a new job more than a hundred miles away. I have returned to the beach several times. Some of the industry associated with the port has gone but the fun and enjoyment of the beach was still available last time I was there, but that was nearly 20 years ago. I am not sure I would feel safe if I were there now.
At the time I did not appreciate how lucky I was to live within a few hundred yards of such a liberal beach. Other beaches I have visited, especially in Germany, are much more restricted. There are self-appointed as well as official 'beach police' watching every move. If I had an erection I felt that I had to turn face downwards and keep my cheeks still so as not to look as though I was masturbating. I was bemused to find separate toilets for men and women, remembering that at Shoreham there were none at all; peeing was not a taboo activity. I found beaches in Scandinavia and France less coy about behaviour.
Brighton Beach
Part of the eastern end of Brighton beach is designated by the town council as clothes optional. I have not visited it as often as that to the west, partly because it was further from where I lived, partly because it was not as secluded and not quite so permissive. It is visible from the seafront promenade and other public areas. This might be the reason why many of the users retain some clothing; many ladies keep their bikini bottoms or panties on and many men their shorts. Many seemed to visit to watch rather than to participate.
For a long time, the distinction between designated nudist beaches and 'textile' (swimsuits needed) beaches has become blurred. Here in the UK and in France, among other countries, it has become quite acceptable for women and men to wear nothing but a thong or G-string covering little but the genitals. For me, these are a kind of sex toy as much as an item of clothing. I find that wearing a thong can be at least as arousing as wearing nothing at all, because of the feeling or the thought of what she is feeling as it rubs along her crevice.
