What would you do...

[Hustle Man]

If your best friends asked you to accompany them on a 2 week vacation in the carribean, all expenses paid, you accept the offer but once you arrive at the vacation spot (unbeknownst to you) you find out it's a nudist colony and everyone is naked as a JayBird?

Would you assimilate and join in on the festivities?

Or would you stay clothed and not participate?

I would join in. The water in the Carribean is very warm. So, there's hardly any shrinkage.

[mbell]

YIKES! I probably would keep my clothes on

[24KT]

Does whipping out the camera count as a viable choice? 

[Laura Lee]

Well, after I picked my jaw up off the floor and then gave my friend a smack on the back of the head...I would have to say I would leave my clothing on.  I have no problem with others and nudity, but I am not so comfortable in just my own skin around strangers. 

I'm a bashful girl. 

[Butterbean]

Or would you stay clothed

Stay clothed

I've been to a couple of nude beaches (we were surprised by the first one) but we all kept our suits on. 

[Hustle Man]

Well, whole story here. My S.O. and I were in this situation and we decided to go with the flow! Yes our motivation was the all expenses paid accomodations but when we accepted the gift we had no idea that it was a nudists colony.


We really enjoyed the new found freedom in our skin. I think everyone should experience this at least once in their lives.

We did everything without clothes even Sunday morning worship services (Generic) but no stress or pressure by any means.

Very interesting vacation

Soooooooo now you know what your best friends look like naked and they...you.

ok may be it's not something you would dwell on but I am sure you would not turn the other cheek (no pun intended)?

This couple has been put in the MDSB category a long time ago. We were more surprized that even knew about nudist beaches or would even participate, that was the shock factor.

Actually the entire experience was quite liberating.

 I don't think I would consider them friends if they left out that detail in the invite.

Yeah 

I think they just wanted to see them naked and squirming. 

[~flower~]

Yeah 

I think they just wanted to see them naked and squirming. 

  that is just odd to leave that out. 

  You said you were surprised that they even knew about this so it's not like you were aware of their lifestyle.

   Did you even comment or ask them why they didn't tell you?
 

[Hustle Man]

What is MDSB?

All friends, relatives and co-workers go into the Mother, Daughter, Sister, Brother (MDSB) category which simply means they are off limits, no attaction whatsoever; Actually everyone is off limits because I am attached but you get the gist.

First time ever doing that and maybe the last lol

Where's the "F"?

[w8m8]

Canada ...   well before he died   

  that is just odd to leave that out.

my thoughts too

I was surprized because I have never ever in the 15 years that I have known them talk about being nudists or even interested in that lifestyle. I later found out that they have been to this resort several times throughout our friendship.

I did ask why and I got an answer.

Short answer: He thought I would not go if I knew it was a nudists resort. He knew once I got there I would see that it was totally innocent.

It was very innocent (if you can stand being around folk in the buff), not a swinger haven at all. There were whole families there kids and pets included. They played volley ball, tennis even bingo in the buff. No one was staring.

Innocuous is the only word to discribe this resort.

The reason why I left out the "F", no one cares about fathers and the point is some folk are off limits, e.g. wives husbands in-laws etc. comprehende?

Interesting response.

I would not participate and I'm not sure what I would say to gracefully decline.

The only experience I've had with nudists (I've told this story before) was the first New Year's in college.

All throughout high school and early college there were several of us who hung out.  The core group was Kenny, me, Kathy, Tim and Tim.  One of the Tims parents were throwbacks and also nudists.  They all had grown up with Tim (through grade school; I was the newcomer) and it was just common knowledge and no big deal.   I on the other hand, thought it very weird and really didn’t understand the whole concept.   We rarely if ever saw his parents because they were either working or “camping” for the weekend.  This made for the perfect party house.  They always had “stash” lying around too.   

One year, New Years Eve,  a bunch of us met over at Tim’s to carpool downtown (about 30 miles).  After the midnight champagne toast we decided to go to a party back in our neck of the woods.  After a slow drive back out to the boonies (it was snowing and we were no doubt drunk) and arriving at Tims so we could each get our cars, Kathy and I had to pee.  The boys told us to just wait until we got to the other party because Tim’s parents were having a party.  Kathy and I were like “so what”, we just need to pee.  They insisted we wait or go outside, like them.  Like hell!  We begged.  We pleaded.  We said WE KNOW your parents are having a party. SO WHAT.  Finally, Kenny spelled it out for us.        Fine, everyone in the house is naked.  So what. 

At that point we didn’t care we just HAD TO PEE.  Imagine our surprise when his mother and father greeted us from the top of the stairs with nothing but a cocktail and party hat.     We were so shocked we couldn’t look up.  Kenny took my hand and Tim took Kathy’s while we kept our eyes covered and led us to the bathroom.  I could see fat, old, naked people everywhere!  Wouldn’t ya know it, there was a wait at the bathroom door!  Hoping to wait for an opening and escape the sobering shock we just witnessed, I barged into Tim’s bedroom only to find an orgy going on.       Kathy and I grabbed each other and hightailed it out of the house and peed outside.  I don’t recall if we ever made it to the other party.

Years later, at a high school reunion, I brought this event up.  Funny how Kathy and I have vivid memories of the evening and the boys have no recollection at all.

These were not exclusive nudists honey, they were swingers or wife swappers, let's not confuse the two.

...I could see fat, old, naked people everywhere! 

Yes, we saw every body type at this resort (fit & fat folks  but they didn't care).

...I barged into Tim’s bedroom only to find an orgy going on.

Not one orgy took place while we were there (that we were aware of).  
Well, my situation was much different and not at all a swingers set but interesting experience you had there.

[Laura Lee]

Nope, still confused.  Was this a "hook up" kind of nudist event or just a nudist event?

[w8m8]

Princess that was a great story 
I could nearly see you and your GF running to the door almost peeing yourselves. 


HM , I wouldn't have been real happy with my friends thinking I could " get into it " and not saying something about it before I arrived and saw some stuff I could live without looking at.

As for whether I'd go along with it all once there and lose my clothes for a few days ...

nah , I'm alright with a lot of things but somehow the idea of it being a "family" type thing gives me the ick feeling

JMO of course and I've nothing against anyone who does whatever they do like that but it's kinda callous ( I think ) to just "spring" that onto somebody


now if it was a place like in the movie " Eyes Wide Shut " .. my friends would be getting some of the best Christmas presents from now on if they took me there 

[Hustle Man]

Not a hook up at all and it was just a; what they like to call it,  "a Naturalists Getaway" Not even close to being an orgy.

Ok let me see if I can clarify this MDSB thing for you.

OK you and the rest that are referenced below may say this is BS but it true for me;

You Jaggy, Dee, Flower, Rip, XXXLinda and Stella are in my MDS category, you all have become like sisters to me and I couldn't think of you in any other way (No offense but no attraction at all) not because you are not atractive but because I respect you all as if you were my sisters.

Having said that, my friend and his wife are like a brother and sister to me and mine, so when we saw them in the nude we just saw them in the nude, no sneak a peeks, no intimate musings about one another, hence the categorization of "MDSB".

I liken the experience of seeing them naked to; seeing your kid, sybling or parent naked, nothing intimate there, nothing! We just saw our friends and we are closer because of it, hence the reason why I said it was quite liberating! Capeche?

Do you have friends that are that close to you where you can be that transparent with them and not be judged or they you?

[michael arvilla]

jesus what an uptight bunch!!


just get naked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I get that, but in the same sense...you (I mean that in the rhetorical way) wouldn't be thinking to yourself "damn I thought he was hung better than that", or "shit, I hope my wife ain't looking at that and sizing me up"  or "she's got a kick ass body...what I wouldn't do to that"  etc.

That is what I'd be afraid of.
