Nudist UK FAQ's about naturism

Will people treat me differently if they find out that I am a naturist?

They might, but you don't have to tell them and it's unlikely that they will find out.
If you do decide to tell anyone, it's best that you mention a
bum-browning, holiday experience first.
People can, more or less relate to nude sunbathing abroad, but can find it hard to grasp the concept of social nudity in this country.

I am an 18 year old male, will I get aroused if I visit a naturist club or beach for the first time?

No, highly unlikely. When you strip off for the first time, you will believe that everyone is looking at you. They are not, but until the first few minutes go by, you will believe that they are. Sex will be the last thing on your mind!
The next thing that will happen, is that you'll adopt a change of mindset, and when talking to other naturists, you'll possibly not even notice their nudity.
It's a strange thing, but it's clothes than can create sexiness, not nudity!

Is there a likelyhood of loads of perverts joining sun clubs and going on nudist beaches?

Unfortunately, there are perverts everywhere. Luckily, there is probably less chance at your local naturist club, because they get identified and weeded out very quickly, either by the club management, or the members.
It's a bit more difficult on a nudist beach or public location, however, but you'll find that when there is a "dodgy person" prowling, people tend to cover up and scowl at the offender, who normally then moves on.

I am a middle aged female who is tempted to join a naturist club but I am overweight with stretch marks, and generally don't feel good about my appearance. What should I do?

Don't just be tempted...join up!
Naturism isn't just about getting your kit off and playing volleyball!
It goes much deeper. When you are talking to fellow nudists, you will generally find that you are connecting on a different level.
Naturists don't tend to give a stuff if you're a millionaire, company director, policemen, cleaner or politician! They'll want to know about you, but not generally judge you on your appearance.
It's all about you inside, are you a well-meaning soul with a sense of appreciation and enjoyment?
Then great, you'll be accepted by the others. Whether you're an amputee, have facial or body disfigurements, are too fat, too thin, white, yellow, pink, black or striped, it really doesn't matter!

I have a small manhood, will I be laughed at?

The temptation is to refer you to the answer above, but just to add that naturist men that feel that they have below average tackle, are so relaxed and secure within the nudist environment, that if the subject ever comes up in conversation, will mostly take the mickey out of themselves, and create some humour! Nearly everyone on this planet feels as if they have a short-coming of some description.

I am going to a naturist club for the first time with a friend, will I have to take all my clothes off?

No. However, different clubs have different rules, and may insist that all swimming pool users are naked. (this is to ensure that the naturist element of the club is upheld.) Or they may insist that people cover up in certain areas of the club, or at certain times. If in doubt, a quick phone call to the club will put you right.

My Husband wants to take our kids with us, will this feel awkward?

If you act in an awkward fashion, then the children certainly will, because they will pick up on your behaviour. By nature, young children will love being naked, splashing in and out of the pool. It's only as they get older that their inhibitions set in, normally caused by their peers in the outside world.

'What's the best way to become a naturist?'

Apart from wandering around your home naked,
possibly the best way to enter the world of naturism is to start off on holiday.

You'll be feeling relaxed, and with the incentive of an all over tan, you are less likely to worry about stripping off.

Once you have experienced the freedom of swimming naked, and then drying naturally in the sunshine, without the discomfort of wet swimwear to contend with, you will possible never go on another non-nudist sunshine holiday again,unless you really have to!

When you return home, ring up your nearest naturist club and say that you would like to make an apointment for a pre-joining visit.

This is essential from two points of view:
You may not feel at home at that particular club, and from the clubs point of view, they may not feel comfortable with you. This is rare however.
Normally people slot right in at the first club that they try.

Unlike outside life, every single member of a naturist club has got something in common... - Think about it!

When you talk to the other members, you'll find that most of them would have had similar fears to you when they first became nudists.

The price of the membership of naturist clubs vary,but you'd expect to pay around £130 to £200 per couple per annum.
Most naturist clubs have up to date facilities such as open air heated pools, sauna, sometimes a gym, and various outdoor activity sports such as mini-ten, boules and badminton, and indoor sports such as darts and pool. Some also have overnight accommodation facilities, which could range from a caravan to a hotel room.
And if you are so inclined, make sure that the naturist club of your choice has a bar!
