- We won't hold that against you. A lot of people know nothing about naturism
- but still castigate us for - for - for --- for whatever it is we do!!! (big smiley)
-
- One of the things that seems to happen in places where most everybody is naked
- is that if you put something down it will stay where you put it. That goes for
- cigarettes, towels, umbrellas, lunch, clothing (we had to get TO the beach,
- you know!), etc. I wouldn't be comfortable leaving my solid gold Rolex on
- my towel, but my $39.95 Casio is likely safe. My wife misplaced a pair of gold
- earrings at a nude resort in Florida. We reported the loss to the manager. The
- earrings showed up in the mail about a week later - postpaid. They weren't
- "lifted", they were "losted".
-
- Most of us don't carry weapons. We don't particularly feel threatened by other
- naked people (who are also, quite clearly, not carrying weapons), so we (those of us
- who own weapons) leave the weapons home, in the car, or elsewhere where they will be
- safe. We do carry wallets, driver's licenses, etc., and that stuff goes in the bag
- we carry onto the beach, plunk down on one corner of the beach blanket, and carry
- back off the beach when we leave. We don't worry about anyone pocketing our "stuff",
- because most people, as you have noted, don't carry pockets. (smaller smiley).
-
- Read the FAQ for more insight into our lifestyle. And give it a try, if you
- dare . . . to be bare.

- You didn't give a clue as to whether you are M or F! Take note of the thread
- on single males at nude resorts. Some resorts are open, others are not. Call
- first, or find a "public" space like a C. O. beach or river site. Where are you?
- There is likely a friendly spot somewhere nearby, wherever you are.
