Experiences

Let me introduce myself, my name is Bob. I'm happily married to my wife of 22 years and we have 3 children. We live in the great state of Colorado, USA.

My experience with social nudity began in February of 2002. For a long time, I wanted to visit a nude beach. So while on a business trip to Clearwater, FL, I tried to find such a beach. My research revealed that there are no "official" nude beaches in the Clearwater area, however, there were several clothing optional resorts just north of Tampa, FL.

Through the Internet, I had found Paradise Lakes Resort. I called the resort and explained my desire to visit and that this would be my first time ever at such a resort. They gave me the directions and I drove to the resort the following day.

With nervous anticipation, I approached the front gate of the resort, checked-in and paid the daily grounds fee. As is required by most nudist resorts, first time visitors must take a tour of the resort. A clothed gentleman gave me a 15 minute tour in an electric golf cart. While driving through the resort, I observed many men and women doing ordinary activities, only they were all nude. They were playing tennis, swimming in the pools, playing volleyball or just sun bathing on lounge chairs. It seemed that everyone was having a great time.

After the tour, I was allowed to roam the resort and partake in any of the amenities. I parked my car and just sat there for awhile wondering what to do next. Finally, I got out of the car and began to remove my shirt, shoes, socks and my jean shorts. Then I just stood there wearing only my underwear. After a moment or two, I thought this is it and took them off. I was naked.

Wow, what a feeling! I gathered my beach towel and began to walk through the resort grounds. It was exhilarating to feel the breeze blowing against my entire body, especially my back side. I felt so alive and free. So natural. I felt energized and walked around for about 30 minutes exploring the resort.

Next, I entered the pool area. I found some unoccupied lounge chairs by the pool and hot tub. I spread out my beach towel and began to read a book. The sun felt so warm and soothing. I began to relax and feel at ease. Gradually, more people came into the area to enjoy the sunshine. Next, a women settled into the chair beside me. She was totally naked as was I. After a while we started conversing. She was a member of the resort and usually spent her weekends here with her family. I was thinking to myself, "Here I am talking normally with a naked lady just as if we were clothed".

After a few hours, I ventured over to the cabana bar to get lunch. I ordered a sandwich and a beer from a topless waitress that was tending the bar. I took my food and sat down at one of the many tables in the bar. There were other nude people likewise enjoying their lunch or watching sports on the TVs. Again, I thought to myself, "this is so cool, I'm now eating lunch in a room full of naked people".

In the afternoon, I continued to sunbathe by the pool. I then took a dip in the pool. How refreshing! It felt so good to swim without a bathing suit. Even better, it felt wonderful not having a cold, soggy bathing suit on when lying by the pool again.

I continued to enjoy the resort the rest of the day, meeting and talking with many people. The conversations were genuine. Nobody cared what you did for a living or how much money you made. Nor, did anyone care about what your body looked like. We just talked about whatever came to mind. As the sun set for the day, I returned back to my car and reluctantly got dressed.

That evening, I called my wife to tell her about my day as she was unaware of my visit to Paradise Lakes. I cautiously explained that I had visited a clothing optional resort. She did not believe me. I further stated that everyone at the resort was "optional" and that I went "optional" as well. I described how great the experience was and that I wished I could have shared it with her. She said that it all sounded very interesting and fun and that she may consider a visit in the future.

Later in the summer of 2002, my wife had her first social nude experience. She likewise enjoyed it. Today, we are members of Mountain Air Ranch Family Nudist Resort. We have made many friends through the years at the Ranch and we are having the best time of our lives. As a matter of fact, we have more nudist friends than any other group we belong to. At the Ranch we swim, hike, dance, play bocce, play ping-pong, attend pot-luck socials and many other activities. We just wished we had discovered this wonderful lifestyle earlier in our lives.
