6 PROBING QUESTIONS FOR A NUDIST.

Technically, the questions are answered by a former nudist. Well not really even that. The friend in question experimented with “hedonism” for a 4day weekend a year back. He then returned to the clothing way of life that Monday. This is the 12.5-minute excerpt from lunch later that week.

Are all nudists the same?
Actually it's called Naturism. And nope, there are two types:

1. Family Nudists: Pretty much naked once you set foot in the house until you leave.
2. Social Nudism: Public nakedness at nude-friendly resorts, cruises and beaches.

What about when it comes to sitting on stuff, aren’t you afraid of germs or if the person before you didn’t wipe something very well before they flushed?
The resort I was at required that you cover their chairs or benches with your own towel first.

Is nudism (naturism) a sexual thing?
For me on that weekend, sure, totally. But honestly, the code a serious nudist abides by is to simply live life in its pure form. Be naked and free in the eyes of the creator, like he (or she) originally intended.

So how do they deal with hard nipples and erections?
From what I saw, it didn’t happen much to the full on, career nudists. Though if an extra rush of blood heads south or a breeze affects someone a bit more, they’ll just go in the pool or flip over on the towel (‘til the situation is under control).

Is there an organized nude group?
American Association For Nude Recreation. The group helps you with traveling arrangements and stuff. I used 'em for my trip. FYI…on July 11, 2008 they also organized the world’s largest cross-country skinny-dip – 13,648 peeps.

What’s the most popular place to go?
My vote would be for Hedonism 2 (in Negril, Jamaica). Seriously, sorta, maybe considering going again.

FYI...the rest of the conversation was about him trying to get Jets season tickets, and me asking for the rest of his fries.

DREAM ANALYSIS 101: BEING NUDE IN PUBLIC

by Jani Ogglin (NWM Staff Writer)

The nude thing is probably one of the most common dreams on the planet. That’s the one where you either go to the office, class or even a party in the buffo. The odd part is no one seems to care. Meanwhile you’re completely mortified, scrambling to find any article of clothing. I’m usually looking for a scarf for some reason. So what’s the meaning?

SOMEONE’S GOT A SECRET: Most couch docs will tell you, that you’re hiding something. And above all, you are deathly afraid of these true feelings being revealed to your close friends and family.

SURPRISE: Another common interpretation is the simple fear of being unprepared. A lot of times this dream will occur right before a big presentation or test. The fear of failing is so overwhelming it seeps into your subconscious realm.

A POSITIVE SPIN: Some people dream they are nude in a public place, but have zero problems with it. That can simply mean that you are a person that is all about freedom and openness. With my lack of cardio lately, sadly I WILL never ever have to worry about this one.
