    I've been to a nude beach; I'm relatively fit now and was actually fit at that time, and didn't feel self-conscious about it. It was kinda nice, but I like regular beaches more, probably.

    There are a lot of people you don't want to see naked on a nude beach, always. And massive bushes, but not of the foliage varietal.

    I'm not ecstatic about seeing people who I find physically unattractive confident enough to flaunt it, but whatever, who cares. It's still not appealing, though, whether it's sexual or not; just because it's not sexual doesn't mean you want to see it, or have to celebrate that person or something. Still unappealing.

    I burn very badly in the slightest amount of sunlight, wouldn't go on a nude beach as by the time I got everything covered in sun block the sun would have set. And it is rude to point!!!!!!

    We went to Negril for our honeymoon 11 years ago and I went topless and weighed like 100 LBS at the time. However, you will find that 99% that do go without clothes on the nude beaches should really being wearing them. We stayed at Sandals resort which is right next to Hedonism. We decided to venture onto their property for a peek. Well, all I can say is we got within 50 feet turned around and ran the other direction. We saw plenty of people with things sagging to their knees. Skin, fat, boobs, body parts.....it was scary and will forever be etched in my mind. I wish you luck and alot better scenery than we had at the nude beach.

    See, that's what I love about our beach here. Many of the bodies are less than "desireable". It showed me that a body is just that....a body. We all have them. Nude beaches aren't there to sexualize things. Watching people who are overweight or just don't have "attractive" bodies run around so free and confident is awesome.

    My husband says Grand Lido on the clothing optional side is nice. Free atmosphere and not a lot of suffy honeymooners. (my husband's words from his experiences there!) lol

    A big majority of nude beach goers will many times be older. Young people don't always have the confidence/comfort in their own skin to run around naked.

    OP....have fun......I want a full report! :)

    I don't "sexualize" it. I just believe that some things should be covered up. I think the same thing when I see people wearing clothing that looks to tight, and nasty on them. The "have they looked in the mirror" thought goes through my head. I for one take pride in my body however I don't think it should be shown to the world because it is no where near perfect. If you have it flaunt it if you don't have it for pity's sake cover it up.

    ETA: I really don't want to see grandmas hoo ha and boobs and I have a grandma that would gladly show you hers. LOL!

    So why did you go to "sneak a peek" at Hedonism? I for one don't go nude to flaunt myself. It just feels good. And no tan lines is a perk. FTR: I wasn't referring to you in any of my posts.

    If you weren't refering to me why did you quote my post?? We went to hedonisim to look because we were curious and drunk. LOL!! As for my comment about flaunting it I believe in modesty. Unless your body is rock hard or supermodel perfect nobody who is not your spouse wants to see you naked. I weigh 124 and I am 5' 4" and I work out 2 hours a day 5 days a week. I would not be caught dead on a beach without my swimsuit on because I have strech marks and lose skin. It discusts me to look at it on my own body and I have no desire to see it on anyone elses body. I also believe in plastic surgery to fix problems with the body. If this makes me shallow so be it. I appologize if my point of view makes you sick. I also admire that you have the self confidence to walk around naked in front of people you don't know, knowing your body is not perfect.


    I quoted you because you said certain things should be left private yet you went to gawk at naked people. :/ Then "ran away"?

    Beauty is simply in the eye of the beholder. I work VERY hard for what I have.....and I am very comfortable in my own skin.

    That's too bad. I am 5'3" 130-135 on any given day, no stretch marks and no loose skin. I wear a size 4. And I assure you, there are many more men than my husband who want to see my body. And I am glad to show it to them. To each their own? Um ya. ;)

    No, but I went to a nude spa! I was terrified at first, but it became very freeing. Once I finally relaxed (with a little 'spiritual' help), I could see how amazing everyone was for being so comfortable in their own skin. Just beautiful, I'd do it again in a second.

    Got me considering it now! My friend and I ran in the park in our underwear yesterday, then I ran topless, and he ran butt naked. It was fun, and we felt really free.

    Have fun ^_^

    Been to a couple nude beaches. yes there are every type there, nobody will care what you look like. No, don't laugh, point or stare. Load up on the suntan cream. My hubby got baboon butt one time and that was not fun *laff* Well I thought it was funny *LOL*

    And if you get really stressed out about it there are plenty of people around to sell you a 'medicinal' cure
