I just googled thiamine, hopeful there was something to it as a mosquito repellent, and unfortunately it has been disproven.

The best mosquito control I've found is a product called ThermoCell. They come in various styles, including a lantern. They also chase away the biting flies. It does have to be very calm wind-wise for it to be effective.

I use a lotion that has 30% DEET and it works against everything, biting flies still try, but dont bite, just touch and go, lol. Made the mistake of applying that to my cock and balls once though, and that tender skin was on fire until I washed it off! I used to use a sunscreen by skin so soft that included non DEET repellent which worked great at the beach, but seems to have been discontinued.

My first time visiting a clothing optional facility was initially a little nerve wracking. I had called a nudist club that was about an hour plus away for an orientation type visit. The gentleman on the phone told me he & others would be there just to help with first visit jitters. I found the place out in the woods, down the obligatory two path dirt road and parked in a small clearing. There were a few cars there and another man walking back towards the woods. I asked about any facilities & he gave me a *are you an idiot* look, and pointed at the open area, shrugged and kept walking. That was a little disconcerting to say the least. Anyway, I removed my clothing & started walking towards the back. There were nice folks back there and the rest of my visit went well. Thankfully, I never saw Mr Congeniality again.

But weve strayed pretty far off topic, lol. A time uncomfortable nude, just once, hiking with a buddy, came upon a family with a couple of kids hiking in when we thought it was too late for any youngsters to be starting out on a hike. They paused long enough to let us slip on shorts without the kids getting an eyeful, and no complaints made, but wish it hadnt happened.

I was circumcised at a young age due to a tight foreskin. Growing up through school i hated feeling different and knowing what other boys were like i was always uncomfortable showering after p.e etc... When i did discover i loved the feeling of being naked i spent many years just being naked home alone. Aged 18 i started to relax getting undressed at the swimming pool changing rooms and being seen by others. That gave me the confidence to extend my social side with other naturists. Never looked back

Well we had some nudist friends over to the house and we went out to the backyard. I started a fire going in the fire pit. We were standing around it enjoying the warmth of the fire. Well I never expected the neighbors to come over. I had invited them earlier in the day, well they came over.

Sad that our friends decided to put their clothes on and leave. We could have taught the neighbors to be nudists. Well I even felt weird being the only one nude so I even put my clothes back on.

I think we were mostly nervous but not uncomfortable. We'd met new friends from CO at a place we visited annually with other nudist friends. When we took the CO couple to the airport for their flight home, we exchanged information and told them it would be great to see them again the following year. The emailed and inquired about airports in the area. They would save money to fly into a local airport to us and then fly out of the local airport close to the place we'd be staying.

We invited them to come to our house a few days early and they accepted. The nervous part, for both of us, was if and when to get naked in someone's home that you've never been to before. They were our first overnight nudist guests, and we were their first nudist couple to invite them to their home to stay overnight. When we arrived home from the airport, there was about 10 mins of talking and catching up. I then said, "we can continue catching up but I'm going to get comfortable. Anyone want to join me!?" Everyone then let out a sigh and laugh. We all got naked, I made cocktails, and we continued as if we'd been together for those few days a year earlier.
