RE: What motivates girls to become nude?

Well isn't that just the question all of us males ask? It's a really conjectured topic.

A lot of women will go and participate simply because their significant other does. There is a certain percentage that openly admits to doing just that and if they loose that significant other whether from separation or passing, they tend to not continue the lifestyle.

I have been focusing on the young generation in an attempt to "shore up" the lack of younger nudists in the US. The median age being 55, once that bulk of people in the lifestyle is gone there does not appear to be new people incoming to fill the ranks that previously existed.

I have been attempting to get a dialog of European ladies 18-30 going to figure out what attracts them to the lifestyle in order to replicate that here in the US before the number of active nudists drops so low that resorts close. I figure if I can get the younger ladies involved, the men will follow.

However, aside from large amounts of alcohol, I know of no way to encourage them at this point. While I say that as a joke, and we certainly to not want to use alcohol as a basis, nor any drug, I really cannot say. Though I can say that I am interested in what motivates women to the lifestyle.

I once thought that the issues of self and body acceptance alone would be sufficient, but with the dwindling numbers in the last few years I have come to the conclusion that those issues alone are not sufficient.

Ideas? And I mean more than just getting girls to take their clothes off, I mean how do we begin to preserve our lifestyle with the younger generation?

Thanks
Jerry

I know most of the women I know that lean toword the ideals of nudism, but don't practice still have an overly sexualized image of it in there mind. Some have even raised the point that they don't like the idea of strangers looking at them in the nude. Beyond that I'm clueless.

This gentlemen is where we have to embrace the enemy, not ponder aimlessly.... I submit, we must LISTEN to WOMEN.

Brace yourselves men! I fear there is no alternative. At this point I fear they won't even talk to us. I'm not having any luck opening conversation, so far I am like 20 strike outs and one hit on me. I don't even know where to go with this now....

All I can offer is an appeal: (gets down on knees) Ladies, so often you talk to us and we don't listen, so often we shake our heads yes when we have no ide what you have said, and even now, when men should be sensitive, there is a commercial for Coors light when you want to vent. I humbly submit to you that I am willing to listen, lest I lose the lifestyle I have worked so hard to achieve.

I beg of you...

I realize that this topic is on the mind of a lot of men, but has anyone bothered to check out this guys profile. With all of the recent issues in the forum about harassment and women wanting to know how to block unwanted pressure is this a thread we really want to promote. Check out the source.
If my instinct is wrong then I encourage 911777 to call me on it and respond. If he doesn't do we really want to continue this.
Well spotted, and what's that username all about?

Yup, regardless of who asked the question it's a valid and important one that a lot of us could stand to listen and learn from. looking forward to seeing how this one plays out.

AWESOME, this is great stuff. OK (taking notes here)

1. Trusted Friend, which by the way guys, includes husbands. To be a good husband, you need to be a trusted friend.
2. Clothing optional, let her take her time, let it be at her pace, let her make the choices and be patient. (I know guys, enthusiasm gets the better of us.)
3. Give up on the current cliches, maybe we need to throw out "Nudist" and "Naturist" for something else, like "natural sunbathing", or something that reaches women and young people together.....Ideas????

This is good stuff. I think we made some breakthroughs, anyone else want to add their two cents????

Thank you very much Lauri and Mary, you just enlightened a group of men, which is no small task!

thanks
Jerry

It took me over a year to get my last girlfriend to try the local resort, she too was uncomfortable with her body. After that first time, she went to the resort more than I did. So I would have to say patience and trust.
Other than that try money. :D

I think a lot of us men have those same body image issues to one extent or another. Perhaps not on the same level as women do but I think we can empathize with them to a certain degree. Perhaps it's more of a machismo thing that we are less likely to voice our displeasure with our bodies and less likely to back down when faced with the prospects of putting it all out there on the line for the first time.

Seems the running moral to the stories that have been posted by the ladies here so far is that patience and understanding will take you a long way in this world and that it is much less a matter of coercion. In other words it's not so much a matter of convincing them to go as it is providing the opportunity and letting them decide for themselves that they want to go. That's what I've gotten from it so far anyway.

Well, I finally got my best friend to go to Glen Eden with me just by going myself, and then always sharing how wonderful it was. She kept asking questions and I kept answering, and kept telling her she really ought to go because I knew she would love it. I also kept assuring her that it would help her with her personal body issues. It's not like going to the public beach. Then she said one day she needed to try it, then a month or so later it was her birthday and I suggested that I should take her to the resort for her birthday. She said okay and she's a total nudist now! She goes whenever she can.
