Tried that and kept failing, she even said “why don’t you want me to come” and I couldn’t, she now understands. Good luck, it’ll be worth it so you can be yourself at home. Keep us updated

My housemate found out after a weeks camping trip, when I told them I didn’t need the washing machine, seeing the look on their face I realised what I said, took a breath and say “it’s naturist”. Now I’m naked most the time just not around them as they aren’t comfortable. Happily little accident

Looks like the event went great well done, still gutted I couldn’t make it, maybe next time

For the Daily Star it’s actually a fairly rounded piece, well done on the publicity and good luck at the event (not sure I’ll be able to make it unfortunately)

Just accepted a seasonal pitch at @naturistfoundation.org for this year! Super excited and looking forward to spending a lot of time there with friends old, new and not yet met.

Looks like fun, I’ll have to have a look into travel etc but definitely interested

Why feel guilty? That Meet-up page is how they have chosen to portray themselves. If it’s more nuanced than how it’s being taken THEY need to tweak it not lash out at you

If they said something like “our members are proud of the balance we have and to preserve this our membership books may be closed to various groups (singles, males or females etc), however you’re free to join us as a day visitor”, it would stop much of this bad feeling

I understand some clubs, particularly family friendly/focused want to try and keep a fairly balanced ratio but the way they go about it is what feels wrong. I’m a single gay male in the uk and approached over a dozen clubs before finding one that would let me visit let alone join.

Those specific sites have a reputation built on porn, I question the wisdom of advertising such accounts if you are trying to desexualise nudity. Regardless of intent or content people see those sites and think “Porn”. Patreon seems more for nonsexual creators and some have created great communities

Welcome

WackyPlatypus @wackyplatypus.bsky.social · Oct 27

Do what you’re comfortable with and don’t feel pressured to do otherwise, there are plenty of naturist profiles that haven’t posted anything at all, and others without face pictures.

Welcome to Bluesky and thanks for the follow.

I’m still mentally scared form that random conversation earlier this year. Good to understand it more, and I really think I do after that fateful afternoon, but some conversations and mental images can’t be forgotten without very expensive, professional help 🤣🤣🤣

I’m now a branded naturist, I love it and hope it heals well over the winter. Supposed to be pretty painful to get it there but it was actually sending me to sleep while getting it done. Must of been the noise as the clippers when getting my hair cut make me sleepy too 🤣

Brilliant weekend yet again @naturistfoundation.org with the amazing Beirkeller Boys with an amazing storm that night leading to 1/2 inch of water inside the tent the following morning to go with the handover… there are no bad nights camping just adventures 🤣

An indication of my current mood, I just spent 10 minutes looking for my keys, found them in the first 5 minutes but kept looking just to disprove “it’s always the last place you look”

Yeah I’m South East UK, just haven’t got round to checking out what’s on nearish me

WackyPlatypus @wackyplatypus.bsky.social · Sep 10

Shame about the weather but glad you enjoyed your ramble. I really need to find a NatRam near me

Looks pretty amazing, could of used an idea like that last week, unfortunately it’s turned cold here now

WackyPlatypus @wackyplatypus.bsky.social · Sep 9

It’s been one of those days 😞

It can be difficult, but hang in there. Body positivity is an important lesson for kids, the more you are naked the more comfortable and confident you’ll become and the more normal it’ll be

WackyPlatypus @wackyplatypus.bsky.social · Sep 9

Before lockdown I struggled to wfm but now it seems the norm for my company, love the fact I can and be naked but miss how special it felt when it wasn’t the norm
