The nudist newspaper....

My wife and I became nudists in the late 1970's and went to clubs around the U.S. for about a decade. I have written about our "adventures" there in a non-fiction thread called "Can you be more exposed in a nudist resort?"

We joined the largest nudist organization, the American Sunbathing Association (ASA) at that time which allowed us to visit their affiliated clubs, about 100 or so. I think we visited almost 20 over the years. The organization changed its name to the AANR (American Association for Nude Recreation) but it still publishes a newsletter each month.

Over the years, when articles came out that I wanted to keep, I dropped them in a file in my desk. Sometimes I recognized someone or other times it just caught my attention.

Here are a few.

My wife and I met Kerry (in the article clipped to the prior post) at a convention. We went there while traveling on a vacation and stopped at this particular nudist club not knowing it was a big meeting with more nudists than we had ever seen at one place, probably 160 people.

The article starts on the right side --sorry---and finishes on the left. Kerry's mother is on the bottom right wearing a sash of some sort.

Kerry was very outgoing and made a very good speech at the convention standing completely nude in front of all those people, but very comfortable. Almost everyone else was nude too, except for a local news crew writing a story and some people preparing food.

Since they were sold out, we did not stay the night but we enjoyed our day with this huge crowd. My lovely nude wife would not participate in the beauty pageant, however, since we were not staying.

Many of these kids spend their whole lives living in a nudist clubs. Most of the clubs and resorts have homes for residents and either rooms or homes for rent, too. These become close knit groups and are a neighborhood like found everywhere.

Many also offer scholarships, too, to encourage their young people. I am fairly sure I recognize one of the following young ladies, but I am not sure.

Sometimes you know folks for years but never knew they were nudists. When I saw this article, I did not recognize the girl, but when I read the article, I realized that she was the granddaughter of friends who we lived near. Soon afterwards, when we were with that couple, I asked them and the wife blushed that yes, they had been to nudist clubs and the article was about her granddaughter. My wife and I explained we were nudists, too, and later that year we went to a club north of our home together. Unfortunately, they moved to the west coast soon afterwards.

Occasionally in one of the publications we will see a cartoon or two.
