First Time at a Nude Spa

First Time at a Nude Spa? Here’s Exactly What to Expect

“Do I have to be completely naked?” “Will people stare at me?” “What if I do something stupid?“   If you’ve ever been curious about visiting a nude spa but held back by these exact questions, you’re not alone. This is precisely what raced through our heads when we were standing in front of the door of the spa centre. This was going to be the first time that someone would see us naked who’s … Read more

European naturist campgrounds

Why You don’t like European naturist campgrounds (And why you’re wrong)

The other day, yet another person told us that naturist camping is nothing for her. Not for the obvious reasons though, this wasn’t about body confidence, about prudery, or about cultural differences. This person didn’t have a jealous partner stopping her, didn’t have ultra-religious parents, or wasn’t worried about her colleagues finding out. In fact, she was butt naked when she told us. On a nude beach. Surrounded by other naked people.   We get … Read more

Why we need more Nude Beach Clubs

Why we need more Nude Beach Clubs

To be honest, we have been lucky. We visited 6 nude beaches during the last 3 days, and we haven’t seen any abnormal behaviour. Well, there was this one guy popping up and down from the dunes, gazing in the direction of the naked people, but when you frequently visit nude beaches, you’ll probably agree that just one voyeur can be considered quite a success.   Maybe it’s just us, after visiting hundreds of nude … Read more

Naked in Public Places: How comfortable is it?

Naked in Public Places: How comfortable is it?

What does utopia look like for naturists?   Ask naturists about their ideal world, and many will quickly reply that it’s one where clothes don’t exist. We kinda agree with this, albeit more for the fact that this would also mean that there would be nice warm temperatures year-round. If not, a clothes-free world would rather seem like a living hell.   A more reasonable alternative might be a world in which the clothed and … Read more

Beyond the Spa: Why going nude is the ultimate wellness experience

Beyond the Spa: Why going nude is the ultimate wellness experience

This blog post has been sponsored by Riva Bella in Corsica, a top-class naturist resort where your wellness is considered the highest value.   Over the last several decades, everything related to mental and physical wellness has been trending. Spa retreats, yoga classes, digital detoxes, infrared saunas, green smoothies, dopamine balancing, we don’t know where they came from but suddenly there was no way to avoid them. What this says about the world we’re currently … Read more

Clothes-Free Camping in Europe

Clothes-Free Camping in Europe: From Basic to Boutique

The European naturist season is just around the corner. We can feel it in our toes. And in our inbox, where the yearly steady flow of messages asking for vacation advice is going strong again. We like that, though. As kids, we dreamt of being able to fly, become invisible or read people’s minds. Little did we know that one day we would actually get a real superpower: Helping people find great destinations for their … Read more

What if your partner is not a nudist?

What if Your Partner is not a Nudist?

During the last several weeks, we’ve been receiving an increasing number of questions about how to convince your partner to try nudism. Or in some cases even how to make them allow you to be naked. Maybe it’s the time of the year, spring is in the air and the opportunities to spend some time outside without clothes are growing. You see the pictures on social media and you dream of joining. But your better … Read more

From Fear to Freedom: How to Overcome the Anxiety of Going Nude

From Fear to Freedom: How to Overcome the Anxiety of Going Nude

When chatting with naturists, nudists, or anyone we meet without clothes, one regret echoes universally: “I wish I had discovered this sooner in my life.” You can see in their eyes how much they wish they could turn back time and spend those previous decades enjoying nude beaches or clothes-free resorts.   Digging deeper into why it took them so long to finally take that first step, we hear the same reasons repeatedly. “I didn’t … Read more

10 Excellent Places to go Clothes-Free for the First Time

10 Excellent Places to go Clothes-Free for the First Time

We still remember that feeling, though it grows fainter with each passing year. Yet, every now and then, we like to revisit it. There you are, having just read or heard or seen something about social nudity and suddenly, there’s a spark. Curiosity takes hold, and you find yourself wanting to know more. But where do you even begin?   Millions have been in this situation before and there are thousands of places to choose … Read more

No more bathing suits on German nude beaches

No more bathing suits on German nude beaches

Someone forwarded us this newspaper article today. Thanks to Google Translate, we learned that new rules will be applied to nude beaches in the German region Rostock, making it illegal to wear anything but your birthday suit. This decision is part of a new set of beach rules for the area, which is no less than 23 pages long. Obviously, the very first thought that shot through our heads was “WTF??? 23 PAGES OF RULES?“ … Read more
