How to Beat the Nude Summer Heat this Year - Dare to Go Nude on your Family
Vacation
Record heat waves. How does one stay cool and comfortable on their family
summer vacation this year? One fun way is to try the fastest growing nude
vacation trend around, staying at a nudist resort and participating in nude
events.
With the long hot summer this year, you only have a few choices for beating
the heat. You can exhaust yourself shopping at the local mall for new
lightweight resort wear and spend an equal amount of time worrying how you
will look in your new, expensive clothes. Or, you can decide to pack light for
this year's vacation. Real light in fact. All you will need to wear is your
birthday suit, suntan lotion, and a smile. This is the year you should finally
try staying at a clothing optional resort.
I can hear you thinking. "What, me vacationing at a nude resort? It
sounds unusual." Not really. Europeans have been visiting naturist resorts and
nude and topless beaches for decades. In Europe, when the temperatures go up,
the clothes come off. A recent news story on Yahoo.com stated "Brits say bye
bye to the bikini for an all over tan."
There has never been a better time to take a clothing optional vacation in
America than now. Forbes Magazine reports that nude recreation is the fastest
growing niche in the travel industry. Palm Springs, California is one of the
most popular destinations as they have the best year round weather of all
cities in the U.S. You never need to worry about hurricanes while relaxing
poolside in sunny Palm Springs.
You may wonder, who goes to nudist resorts? Everyone! Democrats and
republicans, the tall and the short, thin and not thin, and the young and old
all have fun sunbathing au naturel. Baby boomers in particular have been
flocking to nudist resorts lately. They have always been an experimental
generation. It is only natural that boomers should seek out new travel
experiences and fun adventures.
"But I need to lose 10 or 20 or more pounds before I can come to your resort."
Tom and Mary Clare Mulhall, the owners of the popular Pure Nudist Clothing
Optional Resort and Kids and Family of Palm Springs CA
http://www.purenudism.com hear this comment all the time from "newbies."
The Terra Cotta is famous for being the most mainstream nude resort in
America. They are the best place for couples trying nude sunbathing for the
first time. They are a beautiful boutique resort that was originally built as
a celebrity hideaway. Repeat guests from around the world love staying there.
"The good thing about vacationing at a clothing optional resort," says Mary
Clare "is it really builds a woman's self esteem. She will see that all women
are 'normal.' So many women tell me that they hate wearing bathing suits
because they feel self conscious, but love going nude because now, for once in
their lives they truly feel free and don't have to worry how they look in a
suit. It is a great feeling knowing how happy women are vacationing with us."
So this summer, if you are looking to beat the heat, try something cool. Book
your vacation at a clothing optional resort. If you go, this will be the year
all your friends will want to hear about your new fun adventure.

The Weekly Nudesletter Front Page
Note: The Nudesletter is not currently being published. We now
have a much more efficient and timely way to offer the same sort of
information and commentary.
Please visit our new
Naturist Place Blog.
All of the old issues of the Nudesletter will remain available.
Unfortunately, many if not most of the external links they contain are
now out of date. But that's life... Please do not request updates of any
of these links unless it is really, really urgent.
What are the first ideas that come to mind in connection with the concept
of nudity? Sex? Embarrassment? Probably. Now, as an experiment, relax and
turn on your imagination. What other ideas can you associate with nudity?
Joyful exuberance?
Freedom from constraint?
Closeness to nature?
The serenity of balmy ocean breezes?
If you didn't think of any of these things, but they nevertheless
raise some glimmer of recognition of an idea not yet quite apprehended,
then you definitely need to browse through these pages.
On the other hand, if you did think of one or more of these
things, then it is even more urgent that you read what's here, because
you have an intuitive grasp of the potential of non-sexual
nudity as a life-enhancing physical, emotional, and (perhaps)
even spiritual experience. Some people regard non-sexual nudity as a
liberating, enriching, exalting addition to their lives and to the
lives of their familiy and friends.
Not everyone will find that much in nudity, of course.
However, we're all different. For some this life-enhancing possibility
is real. Yet very seldom is the full possiblity realized immediately.
It takes some time
for the ideas and reality to sink in. What we are offering here is
a newsletter, that is, a series of articles and features
devoted to exploring - through news about the experience of other, real
people - the validity of the claims. In other words,
this is not a finished work that you can simply sit down with and
read from beginning to end. Instead, almost none of it is written
yet. Like any other newsletter, it will develop gradually, a little
at a time. You will be able to follow it - and interact with it -
as it develops. This is one of the main advantages a Web-based
publication can offer.
In order to get a little better idea of what the intent and purpose
here is, please read the main article from our first issue,
The Best-Kept Secret.
Then, to answer other questions that might naturally occur to you,
please have a look at The Weekly Nudesletter
FAQ. (FAQ = Frequently Asked Questions.)
We could summarize things by saying that this newsletter is for and
about people who like to be naked for non-sexual purposes.
And for people who want to explore the idea of non-sexual
nudity with an open mind.
Why "non-sexual"? Because the conventional association of nudity with
sexuality is too obvious to require further elaboration. We have no general
objection to sexuality expressed within a conscientious moral system
and the use of nudity as an adjunct to it. But if sexuality is the only
reason you are interested in nudity, please don't waste your time
reading anything more here. There is an absolutely overwhelming amount
of material available online and elsewhere to meet your needs in this
regard.
The purpose of this newsletter, therefore, is to cover just about
every aspect of nudity except the sexual one.
However, even if you came here out of a sexually
motivated curiosity, feel free to read on if you're willing to entertain
a much more general view of the value of nudity.
Incidentally, you might be wondering about how this newsletter relates
to what is known as "nudism" or "naturism". The answer is: there is a
strong relationship. Nudists and naturists are people who like to be
naked, and they should find almost everything here of interest.
Unfortunately, however, our society has a very poor understanding
of what nudism/naturism is about. The most prevalent view is that
it's about voyeurism and exhibitionism. The main purpose of this
newsletter is to cover the value of being naked, not of
seeing nudity or showing it off. Therefore, we have chosen to
define the subject matter and audience as "people who like to be
naked", to avoid cultural stereotypes.
What will you find here?
There will be a new issue of the Nudesletter every week. That's the plan,
anyhow. Since it's a purely non-commercial, unfunded enterprise, there
are no guarantees - everything is subject to the time available.
However, the hope is that every issue will contain at least several of
the following types of features:
- Articles
- Information that will be some combination of fact and opinion
about the subject of non-sexual nudity.
- Nudity in the news
- Summaries of news stories appearing in the public media about
non-sexual nudity.
- Contributed stories
- Factual stories submitted by our readers, either under their own name
or anonymously. They will usually be autobiographical, concerning
first-time experiences with non-sexual nudity, favorite activities done in
the nude, reflections on the benefits of nudity in one's life, etc.
- Web site reviews
- Reviews of Web sites that deal with non-sexual nudity and which are
considered to be noteworthy.
- New and interesting Web sites
- Shorter notes about new Web sites or pages that are published
for and about people who like to be naked.
- Calendar of events
- Listings of events scheduled for the benefit and enjoyment of
people who like to be naked.
- Where to be naked
- Short notes and reviews about places which can be enjoyed by
people who like to be naked - clubs, resorts, campgrounds, and
locations on public lands.
- Letters to the editor
- Your feedback to the newsletter on anything that has been
published, opinions, suggestions, etc.
