Woodsman wroteThe "sexual response" is starting to wear off now, though.
I still see it as somewhat sexual in that a female subject is always going to be of more interest than a male one. I guess to me it's more about sensuality.
I don't recall paying any attention to others in the changeroom as a youngster. I just kept about my business. Probably more open now but I don't really frequent changerooms.
On our 3rd visit to this resort, like every visit to our nude beach, Di wore a sundress with nothing on underneath. One tug over the head and she was naked. She said that wearing the sundress and being naked was easier than taking off several layers and "giving them a show." She also said, "it takes the imagination and anticipation right out of the equation." haha
It does seem that many women ultimately find the "one tug/pull and naked" mode of disrobing more simple and efficient; especially when they know or feel they'll end up naked eventually.
My first wife's preference was the sarong; which was probably the most efficient since she'd unfasten it before even arriving at the resort, and just walk out of the car naked. No "open disrobing" involved at all. At non-landed get-togethers (at people's houses) she would arrive dressed and wait until shown the "changing room." I don't recall her ever changing in front of people either; unless when no other option was afforded, and then usually with a sense of discomfort.
This idea of avoiding "putting on a show" does seem prevalent. As I mentioned, my wife arrives at the resort knowing that our friends and acquaintances will be there, naked; and that she's going to spend the day naked amongst them. So there's no reason to make disrobing a "suspenseful event" or more "loaded" than it needs to be. So after I open the trunk of the car, "poof" her onesie falls right down to her feet and it's over with. She's now free to go "blend in" with everyone else.

Men wearing just shorts also have the efficiency of one tug and naked.

Even if I'm wearing a shirt and shorts they are off in seconds anyway. I may actually take more time at a textile beach, given my choice of one of my daring swimsuits, compared to a nude one where there's no particular expectations! Another case of undressing being as simple as we make it. Or not.
In a sense, I can somewhat relate to how the women feel, as there have been a few times at my go-to clothing-optional beach here in Seattle, which is well attended by a mix of straight, gay, bi folks, where there will be more than one man gawking at me as I undress. More than anything, I find it rather annoying/irritating, I choose to "power through it," and undress as quickly as possible. I also choose to undress while standing up. (I notice that there are various folks who choose to undress while already laying on their towel. Yes, I do look briefly: I don't gawk.)
In any case, there is no way in hell that I am going to let anyone keep me from doing one of the things I enjoy most at a venue that I know welcomes nudity of all body-types, genders and sexual orientations. As soon as I am fully nude, I feel completely empowered and can often glare back at anyone who is still staring at me and tell them, "If they have a problem." That has pretty much always taken care of any such issue.
I like this topic!! This is my own opinion. Ive only been to a nudist resort three times. All three times, Ive driven in naked. I prefer not to undress in front of a crowd. So Im only about three years new into this nudist lifestyle, and I dont get to be nude too much because of a house full of people. My upbringing taught me that being nude was associated with sex. Ive learned differently now since meeting my boyfriend. For me, undressing is a sensual thing. I have undressed in front of my boyfriend many times, and Ive seen him undress many times. For me, the anticipation of watching each piece come off of him and whats underneath is such a turn on!!!! Its almost like a bit of foreplay to me. And its even better when he undresses me. So Im with your wife, I like to undress in private.

I never wouldve thought this! Again, I grew up around a dad who made sexual comments about women all the time and in front of my mom. It was disgusting to me. Its nice to know that there are men out there who appreciate a womans nudity as a liberating feeling to her, at least thats how it feels for me.

The interesting thing about this sort of situation is that it's an example of a man experiencing what women experience all the time. And it's not only in nude beaches, but anywhere an attractive woman is in a place where men feel they have the license to stare at her.
So I can hear her saying, "Welcome to my world."
But you end up doing what women do: you power through it, do your thing, and remind yourself that if there's a problem, it's their problem and not your problem.
