July 14th is National Nude Day!
in #CASE you were curious: About Nude Etiquette
Looking to celebrate National Nude Day by trying a “clothing optional” location or locale? Here are a few rules of the road to consider:
You Might Be Able To Keep Your Clothes On. Some organizations like to ease first-time nudists into the unfamiliar world of exposure by arranging what’s known as a “clothes-optional” gathering. Just ask in advance, they aren’t likely to mind.
They Might Block Your Camera Lens. The advent of cell phones with megapixel cameras has made protecting privacy at nudist gatherings slightly more difficult…but just be cool, not creepy.
You Need To Bring A Towel With You Everywhere. Think about it…do you want to put your sweaty tush where someone else’s has been? Of course not. While no one is casting aspersions on anyone’s personal hygiene, most nudist gatherings mandate that guests carry a bath or beach towel with them at all times and use it as a barrier when sitting down. #besanitary
Footwear Is Welcome. Though wearing socks with sandals is NEVER okay…not in the real world, not there…not anywhere.
Yes, People DO Eat That Way. Some patrons might find a dining area chilly and wear something light to avoid feeling cold. And while most servers are nudists themselves, they remain dressed while on duty.
Public Displays Of Affection Are OUT. While you may discover a newfound appreciation for nature and the freedom of a non-clothed lifestyle, you can't let it get out of hand. Strolling while holding hand? Totally okay. A quick hug when you meet friends? That’s cool, too. But a makeout sesh? Come on…you know better than that, right?
You Can Be Nude…But You Can’t Look Sexy. For clothing-optional gatherings, there’s actually a type of dress code: provocative lingerie, dresses, or tight jeans aren’t welcome.
If You’re Single…You Might Not Get In. The clubs try to keep a gender balance as best they can and while couples typically won't have trouble being admitted, singles could be. If you’re an experienced nudist/naturist, you’ve got a better shot. But if there are no singles functions planned, you might need to move along.
