Naturist FAQ
Here we have tried to answer some of the many questions you may have about the naturist lifestyle.
What should I take on a visit to a naturist club or venue?
A towel to sit on and/or for swimming. You may want a smaller towel too if using a sauna. If it is a day visit – any food and drink you require.
Sun protection cream or lotion, if you are going to be outdoors, remember even on an overcast day the sun’s rays can burn.
.
Can I take photos?
We have strict rules regarding photography and photographs require the permission of the club council
Will people look at me because I don’t have the body beautiful?
Do I have to strip off and be nude all the time?
Well, you are visiting a naturist club where the norm will be to be nude. Like most clubs we won’t expect you to strip as soon as you walk through the gate though.
If the weather is cold you cover up and if it rains there is normally a club house where most retreat to.
If you are lucky enough to have brilliant wall to wall sunshine and the sun starts to feel too hot, cover up.
Remember some holiday eating places require clothing to be worn indoors. If dining al fresco and naked, remember to always have something to sit on.
What if I get an erection?
This is most unlikely; a naturist club is not usually the most sexually stimulating place.
If it happens – be sensible. Take a dip in the pool, turn over get a few rays on your back. Most of all don’t flaunt it.
Will naturism have an effect on close family relationships?
For a normal well balanced family, in a happy relationship, naturism can bring benefits by helping with relaxation and time spent together in a relaxed atmosphere.
Will naturism affect my health?
Providing you sunbathe responsibly and use any necessary protection, the relaxing environment away from the daily rat race can only be of benefit and many clubs have sporting activities you can join in with, just don’t overdo the sporty bit.
Remember, some sporting activities can be more exhausting in the hot sun, so know your limits.
What if I have a question or can’t remember something they told me earlier in my visit?
You are always welcome to ask questions.
When you arrive you can ask the person greeting you who should you speak to if you have any questions.
Usually club members have no problem helping newcomers enjoy their day at the club.
What if my friends / colleagues / boss finds out that I have been to a naturist club/beach?
They will only find out if you tell them. Club membership lists are confidential.
Ask if you think there is the possibility of disclosure of information.
Then again you might want to spread the word about the wonderful time you had at the club/beach.
