Speaking as a naturist, and having had some wonderfull times on holiday at naturist camps, meeting very nice and interesting people, I cannot understand the amount of predjudice against we who prefer to go without clothes.
Why should it have to be practised behind high fences and gates like the secret serices?naturists are not perverts! but yet are ostracised and regarded as someone who is peculiar for preferring to go without clothes.

I understand what you are trying to say - however the gates and fences are there for our protection FROM perverts. Also - not everyone feels that naturism is natural and we should respect everyone's point of view on this. It would be grossly unfair of us to flaunt nudity infront of them and, more importantly, their children!
I totally agree with the decision that naturism should be kept to designated areas - for everyone's benefit!
Not all areas are fenced however - take the nudist beaches for example - the one I go to is on a standard beach - just in an area which is a little further to walk to. But once there it is lovely. Only occasionally spoilt by the 'Mere Cats' who stand on the top of the sandhills.

(A naturist)
I too am a naturist but being a sinle male is not particularly by the naturist community.
I did once write to the naturist council but they were asking for donations before the'd even give me addresses of any club. So I only practice abroad on holiday. If anybody wants to pm me with the location of the nearest beaches from Manchester, i'd certainly pay them a visit this summer (if we get a decent summer0.
I promise I'm not a merecat
Sadly, naturism attracts the wrong kind of people, some think that it is all about sex, instead of the sheer joy of being in the open air without clothes.
I have practised it for many years, but being a divorcee and not knowing any ladies that could accept it, most clubs frown on single men, so I finally gave it up as a bad job.
Having tried naturism abroad on holiday, I found it very relaxing. The trouble is that everytime the sun shines, I now want to take all my clothes off. Sadly there seems to be few places to do this. The only one I have found is Rio's in London, but its too much effort to go there. Does anyone know of any discreet locations in the Beds, MK area where one can strip off without fear of offending anyone?
