INTERNATIONAL NUDIST

A bad economy hits nudists, like it hits everyone. So how is a nudist to enjoy a full-fledged nudist lifestyle when you’re now unemployed or just getting real frugal?

Scene from a Leon Schuster comedy. Schuster is a popular South African comedian.

Consider these ideas, as alternatives to pricey resorts:

• Be nude at home more: Be nude more at home, reducing the need to go somewhere and pay to be have a place to be nude! Have nudist or nudism-curious friends over for food, drinks and a movie.
• State/national forests: Sometimes you have find sufficiently-remote areas of public lands where you can be nude. However, be very careful and check state laws. In some states it’s legal to be nude as long as no one sees or is offended. In some states, it may be illegal altogether or just too legally risky! Also, as always, be considerate to non-nudists in the park and make sure you are in a rather isolated area.
• Plan trips more wisely: Maybe you can still go to those resorts and nudist events, if you carpool with other nudists and plan carefully to avoid unnecessary expenses.
• Free nude beaches: Some spots around country and world may be lucky to have free nude beaches, so no grounds fees are necessary. For example, Haulover Beach, in Miami, is free - except for parking.
• Check discounts for resorts: If you are young, female, a college student or other under-represented minority and they don’t list discounts, it doesn’t hurt to ask!
• Just live at a resort: Be open mind about possibilities. What if you rented a cabin, apartment, house or camping spot on the grounds of a nudist resort? You probably would not be charged “grounds fees” if you live there, and it might turn out to be best savings/quality of life combo when all is considered.

Are all college students nudists? No way. But many students do experiment with nudity in their college years. For some it is just that - a short term experiment to be considered a naughty little college ritual and shunned for the rest of life. Others may continue to have at least a laid-back attitude regarding nudity for life, in part due to college experiences. A few will like nudity so much they will someday call themselves nudists, however most students who end up a nudist aren’t ready to accept the label of “nudist” or “naturist” during their school years.

College students’ nude ventures may take a variety of forms. They may be of a more obnoxious nature, i.e. streaking across the university campus,  drunk at 3 AM, or in a more relaxed, less legally risky setting such as swimming or sunbathing nude at a local lake or resort. Students at some universities have even organized low-profile, civilized nude parties - sort of like a toga party without the toga.

Whatever the method of getting comfortable in one’s own skin, realizing that nudity can be a wonderful thing is a lesson that can last a lifetime.

Will the nudist industry continue to grow, despite the lagging economy? Fortunes are made by developing undeveloped in-demand services and products. Why should nudism be any different? Well, it is different, due to legal barriers, cultural barriers and associated risks - but it is still a relatively underdeveloped industry. Does your state have the demand and legal allowance to support more resorts or travel services (boat tours, etc.)? Does your state have laws that directly or effectively outlaw nudist ventures? Do your research and consider doing your part in starting or helping with a nudist enterprise!
