Naked at the beach, resort, or sauna?

[Marquis De Shady]

I was looking at the threads, and it seems that the one about the saunas seems to be the most popular. Which surprises me a little. Is it really the best venue for nudity?

My wife and I have done all three. The experiences were very different.

The nude beach. I've really enjoyed my nude beach experiences. It's the variety of people (young/old, different races, shy newbies and experienced nudists) and their different approaches to nudity (topless, bottomless, openly naked), watching people undress, couples frolicking, etc... It's a great people-watching experience.
My wife didn't like it so much. Mostly due to the voyeurs trying to get a good look at her pussy. So now on the rare occasions we go, she just goes topless, which defeats the purpose.

The sauna. Granted, the one we go to is NOT coed. So the time we spend naked is apart; her surrounded by a bunch of women, and me by a bunch of cocks. She likes it more than I do; as a matter of fact she has requested we go back next weekend. But for me it's "meh."

The nudist resort. It certainly doesn't have the same variety of people as the nude beach or sauna. People tend to already be naked when they enter the pool area, and I do miss watching people undress. So it's not quite the people-watching experience that can be found elsewhere.
But my wife likes the fact it's behind closed gates, and not "just anyone" can walk in. The people there are mostly regulars (like us) or members; and since they've seen her naked several times, she's not as "pussy-shy" around them, as she figures they've all probably seen it anyway (which they certainly have). Because it's a social environment, there's a lot more interaction with other naked people, which can be a lot of fun.

In short, as a single guy I preferred the nude beach. As a married guy, I have to go with the resort because that's where my wife can be most uninhibited.

So...what's your favorite venue, and why?

I've chosen for 'other' because all depends on the location and company you're in.

Sauna: usually local and coed in our case. Chances are you encounter someone you know which can be fun ... or not 😉. But it's often the most relaxing and fun to do with friends/family. Not always ideal for children cause people want to enjoy in silence.

Nude beach: also fun, but a bit of a drive. Less facilities, but a place for young and old, families or singles. Sometimes bit of hinder caused by voyeurs, but one learns to ignore them. Only issue nowadays are cellphones and pics taken. Not an issue for me personally, but wife is rather not seen naked online recognisable.

Resorts: can be fun, facilities available, but sometimes it are the people that annoy me. It's the place for the "real nudists/naturists" and their opinion on how to behave and think as a "real one".

Been to nude beaches but not a resort. Have been to a ton of European saunas though. Loved the saunas and always liked seeing women get undressed. I used to go to one in Bad Homburg where the saunas were upstairs from the pool. Always got a kick when I saw women come upstairs from the pool and strip out of their bathing suits. Other times I could sit at the bar and occasionally topless or naked women would sit there ordering drinks and/or food.

Sounds like a few good stories in there that I would love to here!

So far not much to tell.
We've met some far away acquaintances and a few colleagues of my wife (all female).
But there are other people my wife would not like to meet there like male colleagues (of whom she is their boss), her step brother or some creepy friends/neighbours of who we know also go there from time to time.

If any of those do happen I for one am looking forward to a detailed description!

Been to nude beaches in Martha's Vineyard, and Gunnison Beach at Sandy Hook. Martha's is beautiful or was the last few times we were there, but it was years ago. Gunnison not so nice because of the debris we encountered walking the water line.
Now, my wife and I only go to resorts. One gets a different vibe when staying at the resort for several days. Cypress Cove is the best but Sunny Rest is also very nice!

My first thought was the sauna. It's guaranteed nudity and it's close up.

But I've gone for the nude beach. It can be random who you see and how close, but it's also much more relaxed. People tend to be more comfortable having everything on display, often playing in the waves and 'frolicking' in a way you wouldn't see in a sauna environment, where there are more rules.

No experience of nudist resort.

Extended stays (2 or more days) are great. I don't know that you can really do that at a nude beach or sauna without having to leave and come back. Camping or renting are usually an option at the resort.
Spending the day naked until late, going to bed, waking up naked and spending the next day naked, etc... will definitely put you in a "naked state of consciousness."

The first time my wife did it, she was modest on Day 1. By Day 3 she was tanning with her legs open and didn't even care about being seen completely exposed. She'd spent so much time naked that she'd lost her inhibitions along the way.

I agree the resort I feel is the best with the greatest enjoyment. Went to Hawksbill beach once in Antigua all the people spread out and keep to them selves. No amenities like a bar or outside showers. Hawksbill was nothing special other than being able to get naked legally.
The resort is wonderful for after a few days my wife doesn’t have a care in the world and enjoys the new couples that show up every day. We had some of the wildest times at a resort. Nothing better to sit next to another couple with lounge chairs just a couple of feet away completely nude conversing.
I remember standing at the bar having a drink and a mature women next to me drinking and talking. She had a beautiful pair of natural D cup tits a little saggy just a foot away from me. I could not stop looking at her tits and imagining. I apologized for staring, she said that’s ok it makes me feel better being around all the young girls. I told her good because your tits are beautiful, she said my husband likes when I get complements.
Women love it when they get looked at for an extended period and I think it is such a turn on for me.
