Naked Beaches
Beaches with a tradition of Naked
use usually aren't a problem. Often, there isn't an explicit law
against Naked sunbathing, and the authorities ignore secluded groups of
Naked sunbathers. If you aren't far enough away from the clothed crowd,
they might ask you to dress. In cases where there is a clear law
against Naked sunbathing, you could be ticketed, but usually only if
you refuse to dress when asked. The police usually would rather be
doing something more productive, and will likely cut you all the slack
they can. Still, don't push it in an area known to be unfriendly to
the idea. "Indecent exposure" charges are usually reserved for
flashers and others who are deliberately disturbing the peace. Simple
nudity in a secluded setting usually doesn't qualify as indecent
exposure unless there is a deliberate attempt to offend.
Your best bet is to visit a beach
with a long tradition of hassle free Naked use. Some states have
designated Naked beaches, while others have areas where they simply
turn a blind eye. There are no federal laws against nudity, so many of
the best places are in secluded areas of federal parks, seashores, and
other federal recreation areas. Beware that some federal areas are
less friendly than others. See my page on Where to Go for some
suggestions.
So you find the place and walk down
toward a bunch of "naked people". Then what? Just relax. Hang around
the edges or set up a "safe" distance away so you can observe what's
going on. No one will mind if you keep your suit on. Take your time.
If you're not comfortable with slipping out of your suit on this
visit, maybe next time. Stay as long as you like. You're free to leave
at any time.
Getting naked the first time is like
going into cold water. Some like to take it slow, while others like to
dive in to get it over with. My advice is the latter. Make up your
mind and just take off your clothes as if there's nothing to it.
Ignore any thoughts to the contrary and you'll soon notice that it
wasn't such a big deal. Act natural and any remaining anxiety will
quickly abate. You'll be surprised how quickly it just "feels right".
From then on, just enjoy yourself.
Notice how unbroken the sun, surf, and sand feels on your body. Play
volleyball with the regulars if offered. Most people mind their own
business at Naked beaches, but it's not because they're not friendly
(usually quite the opposite). Some people just want to be left alone,
and most people there respect that. Naked beaches are usually
relatively quiet and peaceful, compared with the riffraff and noise at
your typical beach.
If you aren't comfortable at one
beach, try another. If you'd feel safer with a group, check the guides
and the internet for groups that frequent beaches in your target area.
It may take a trip or two before you get used to it, but give it a
chance. Personally, I get frustrated when I go to a "textile" beach
with clothed friends. Once you get used to not having anything between
you and the beach, it's hard to go back.
Short Reading About Nudist Culture
The TBN organization, founded in 1985, is affiliated with The Naturist Society, a national organization. Our membership is open to couples, families, and singles, growing from 18 original members to nearly 200 today.
Our activities include indoor swims, parties, and other events during the cooler weather months. At the swims, you will have the opportunity to play water volleyball, swim a few laps, and socialize with fellow naturists. We currently are looking for a new pool, if you know of one, please e-mail us the information. During the summer, we will travel to landed naturists/nudist clubs around the state and to various clothing-optional sites.
All TBN events are clothing-optional. Most people in attendance will be Naked, but there is no requirement or pressure to be Naked at our winter swims.
Membership in TBN is $20.00 per year, per family, couple or individual. Benefits of membership include our quarterly newsletter OH Naturel and discounted admission to our swims.
You may wish to attend one or more of our events before deciding if membership in a naturist organization is right for you. Attendance at activities before joining, however, is not mandatory.
The Buckeye Naturists is a "family-oriented" group, meaning that conduct at our activities should be as if your family is present.
Please read our Code of Ethics before attending any of our events.

The Naturist materials on this nudist Website are legal in every city, every state and every county inside the United States. They are protected by the First Amendment and are not subject to local obscenity laws or ordinances. The depiction of adults and children Naked in the visual media has enjoyed constitutional protection in the United States since 1958, when the Supreme Court vacated a Court of Appeals finding that Sunshine & Health magazine could be obscene (Sunshine Book Co. v. Summerfield, Postmaster General, 355 U.S. 372). The right to depict adults and children in innocent Naked poses has been upheld without a pause for 41 years. In case after case, the Supreme Court and lower courts have always upheld the constitutionality of "nudity without more," specifically referring to the nudist depiction as a fully constitutional form of expression. Our picture and video galleries are widely promoted in all of United States, Canada, Asia, Europe, South America, Canada, Australia and Africa amond most major countries. The only exception may be countries where nudity of any kind is banned, i.e. Iraq, Syria, and Iran. |
