Often the first thing a man thinks is, really? What's this really mean? You know, the usual over-analyzing and paranoia. When I figured out she was just trying to please me and no other motives were involved, I set the date. We lived within an hour's drive of a 'gonzo' nudist beach (meaning not really legally sanctioned) in Southern California.

That was lottery win number one. When she said I could take her picture, and smilingly posed for me, striking several wholly normal and a few provocative postures, and said yes when I asked "What if I shared them?"--that was lottery win number two. I didn't realize until that moment how highly eroticizing nudism could be for a couple. Believe me, it is...

For example, it can lead to interesting discussions. Lying on the beach, fully limp, while basking in the sun, a naked man walked by us and gave my wife some rather intent appreciation. When he passed on I told her. I asked if she liked it, being completely naked and viewed by strange men. She asked if I really wanted to know. Sure. Yes, she liked it, though she didn't know until that moment that she would. What this incident and others like it produced, now that we've had numerous visits to our favorite beach  is an other-worldly sex life at home (along with a few highly erotic and stealthy sessions in the sand dunes).

My wife has given birth three times and is approaching forty, and although she, like me, is somewhat past her prime (we all get that way), nothing can touch the erotic power she has over me. Sure, I notice the younger women and teens who frequent the beach, as does she the other men, young and old. What this does is fuel our drive for each other. That's a little secret about nudism that deserves much more press. ("Goddess Wives & Their Appreciative Husbands") Wife Beth has been featured numerous times in The Nude Review. MarkK

 
"Near-Sex" On The Beach: Certainly a feature at Hedonism II and other adult resorts in the Caribbean, but what about 'normal' nudist beaches? Most couples admit that, in response to the inevitable arousal some feel on nudist beaches, they do succumb to the urge to "touch" each other. On a textile beach this would pass as the usual cuddling and soft petting one often sees (especially among teenagers) walking a non-nudist beach. But when a nude couple caresses on a nudist beach--well, that has an altogether different vibe. Some couples can't resist it. A lot depends on the general tone of the beach. What you see at Red Rock beach in California might not pass muster on Haulover Beach in Florida. Our verdict? Location is everything. ("Nudist Touching") Rebo 

Our Names Are Paul & Linda, & We're Nudists: If you're a nudist, or are contemplating becoming one, know this--you will be outed. It's best to just be upfront. No doubt if you've been on a public nudist beach or at an adult resort you have been photographed. "We started contributing after I saw my wife on another porny-type nudist website. It pissed me off, so I felt like I was setting the record straight. We're nudists and we're proud of it." ("Nudist Couples Photo Albums")
