I don't know whether to vote "yes" or "no" BUT I do remember being taken downtown by both my mom and my aunt when I was a child and we would eat at a restaurant named "Paradise Gardens". I can't begin to tell you howmany times we ate there. I think it was on Sixth Street. I am not sure but I can still see the place in my mind. Food was very good too.

I was ONLY commenting that there was a restaurant by that same name here in Cincinnati when I was a young girl. I already KNEW there was a nudist colony here in Cinti. BUT I did not know it's name. And I meant I did not know how gae wanted me to answer the question of whether or not to go. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY YOU POSTED THAT POST. Maybe I'm dense but ........

The title of the thread asks if the reader will go, but gae's first post asks if she should go.

ON both accounts I say sure, why not. I have no strong desire to walk around nude, nor do I have a body to show off - but I'm guessing most of the others at this resort don't either.

No it's ok, you post like a woman. Changing subjects in the middle of a thought. I have this problem with GAE all the time.

There was nothing in your post to indicate that you knew about the nudist resort.

I just wanna know when dinner will be served, sir Trav! Shall I bring some wine? [img]smile.gif[/img]

The place sounds interesting. It would be quite an experience to check it out. Two things come to mind, what if you see someowe you know, that you wouldn't have dreamt would be there? and are you sure no one will point and stare at me? [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]

I would do it just for fun, you only live once so that is why I do a lot of crazy stuff. White water rafting was something I thought I would never do, but hitting class 3's was an awesome feeling.

I say do it, if you don't like it, put clothes on, places like that no one will judge

Well we are going Saturday and we will let you know all about it.

As for dinner, it looks like D2, Reason and Raven are the winners. I am looking at a Saturday evening in late September or early October. Let me know when you're all available.

Jumper gets to come along by default. He doesn't eat much anyway.

I've been to a nude beach once. It was about ten years ago, and I was visiting my best friend (Zig) in California. Since he was working at the time (plus I think he was married to his first wife then), I had some free time to head to the coast near Santa Cruz.

The beach was sparsely populated, which made it easier for me to bare my pasty white body.

The only reason I knew about this beach is because when I was 16, and on my first trip by myself and my first trip taking an plane anywhere, Zig's parents decided to take a Sunday drive after church. As we drove up the coast I noticed cars parked along side of the road that belonged to the beach goers.

So Zig's mom asks if I would like to stop and see the beach. So dorky me in my church clothes with Kodak Instamatic in hand takes the dirt trail down the side of the cliff to the beach below, with the rest of Zig's family behind.

We get to the bottom, and I'm snapping pictures with my Instamatic, thrilled that I actually get to see the Pacific. Mrs. Zig asks me to stand in this outcropping that has a big hole in the middle. I climb into the outcropping and look through to the other side and see hundreds of nekid sunbathers, frolicking in the sand.

Noticing the stunned look on my innocent face, Mrs. Zig says, "Are there more over there?" Then I look at the beach where I had just been snapping pictures and notice the few people there had no clothes.

Ok, maybe this isn't funny to you, but I was such a goody two shoes then. Given that I'm standing there in my church clothes snapping pictures, oblivious to everything around me...well, I got a big chuckle.

So years later I just had to visit. There was no frolicking, and the foggy weekday made for sparse attendance. But it counts for the record books.

I think we need to get past the notion that nudity = sex. That kind of mindset is for the deprived.

Deprived of what? self control? morality? Unless you have a specific element you feel the hypothetical person would be deprived of, the word you need to use is depraved. You're probably both.

You are right, gae. This thread is about you. I just wish GL weren't so defensive about his trailer. Trailers are fine - they make for comfortable living.

DATELINE: Saturday Evening

We decided not to stay for the dance tonight, so we're home and I'm ready to tell the tale. I'll say up front that the anticipatory anxiety was worse than anything else, including undressing (and being undressed) in public.

From reading the article no less than three times, I assumed there were changing rooms. You know, a private place where one could sit and say WTF am I doing here? NOPE.

From my conversations with the managers I also assumed that we'd have a clothed tour and some time to get our bearings. NOPE.

After being buzzed in through the gate, we followed the signs to the office.

I've got to say that when we got off the bike, it was disconcerting to actually see a bunch of naked people. Laying in the sun. Reading books and magazines. Playing volleyball. Swimming in the pool. I mean, I knew they were going to be there and all, but something in my brain thought there'd be a fence. Or a trellis of fig leaves. Something.

We paid our money and asked where to change and leave our things. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] We trecked back to the bike and started peeling things off. (When undressing in public, always remove your bike boots first. Otherwise, you end up looking, ummm, strange.)

Since I have difficulty being in public in a bathing suit, I was certain the world would end when I showed up in my birthday suit.

True to the article, no one gave us a second glance. No one made fun of the scars or that patch on my right leg that the razor missed.

People were friendly and polite. We walked around a bit, spent a little time in the pool, sat on the front lawn in the sun. After a while Bob spent time at the bar watching the Weather Channel, talking about Frances and I sat outside reading a magazine. It was just like being anywhere else... except that everyone was naked.

Just off the pool area are the bathrooms. I made a pit stop and was shocked to hear a mans voice in the stall next to me. And then it hit me; why should the toilets be segregated when everyone is naked? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

All in all, it was a pleasant afternoon. We've decided that we weren't prepared though. It would have been better to take the car, along with a cooler, a couple of books or a board game.

A few observations for my life book:

I've now met a man with a tatoo on his penis.

Most people look better with clothes on.

Nude volleyball players can be immediately identified by their white feet (tanned only to the sock line).

Reason was right; it's about nudity and not sexuality.

We'll be going back; who would like to join us?
