Where are the women nudists?
Why are there many more male nudists than female nudists in most places? There are many reasons, some reasonable and some not so reasonable.
Women may feel a natural, perhaps even instinctual vulnerability, even when they have no reason to believe they’ll be in danger. Of course nudist resorts and even nudist beaches can be very safe places, especially if accompanied by friends. Nudist resorts weed out offending types so that you’ll encounter a better-behaving bunch of people than in mainstream society.
Women in the modern world are also heavily influenced by harsh mainstream judgement about what a woman should and should not look like, and they fear other nudists will judge similarly. Of course, modern nudists are accepting of all body types and will admire your courage instead of judge you. A woman attending a nudist resort will likely see other women with similar forms. Any experienced nudist has seen all types of real bodies, with all their imperfections as well, so just be nude for yourself and have no fear what others think of your appearance.
There is likely some tendency for the male mind to be a little more attracted to nudity more than females as well. Yes, most males are more visual sexually and as “pure” as we want to keep nudism, doubtless this is a motivation to some males. But another possible difference may be that males are simply more curious and experimental, at least regarding something like nudity. This is sure to be a controversial point. It is difficult to determine what traits are caused by culture, upbringing, genetics or hormonal influences. Whether you’re talking about possible differences in the way male and female minds work in intellectual, vocational, political endeavors or nudism, it will probably be a couple decades before science sorts out all the causes.
On the other hand, there is apparent evidence for the gender ratio being more due to culture and upbringing, rather than genes/biology in liberal college town nudist spots. In small, isolated liberal college town settings, nudist clubs, resorts and swimming spots tend to actually attract something close to a 50/50 ratio of males to females. This is surprising to many used to big city/non-college nudist scenes, but seems to show that women can indeed be as bold as men in nude ventures (at least at college age), when they feel empowered and feel free to explore something other than tradition and mainstream culture would dictate.
So if you are a female curious about nudism, but haven’t jumped in yet, give it a try! Be tolerant and patient if your first experience isn’t ideal, but be bold and feel this wonderful multi-level freedom we call nudism!












nudist we have freedom
I agree with your views. Probably that’s why!
Hope the numbers increase though.
Are there any black nudist. its seems that most people are afraid of black men in particular.
