Buying Naked
Has anyone seen this show that TLC is premiering tomorrow (11/20)? It looks like naked house hunters I think. I just hope it doesn't make us look weird or something. And I think the couple in the preview clip at least look like real nudists (I only say that because 1. no tan lines and 2. I don't think non-nudists or actors would willing go on a national "reality" show proclaiming that they are nudists)
Just wondering what others think about it. Here's the link to the main TLC page, just a warning, the video starts instantly.

Good Luck! I know your pain, my fiance is like talking to a brick wall when it comes to nudism
I would seriously reconsider marriage to this woman. It's possible to over look small issues but I would consider this to be a major issue.
Although I have enjoyed WNBR, nude beaches, visiting clubs, indoor nude swims, and being nude most of the time at home, I would most certainly trade my nudity for the right relationship. I have enough other interests for me to trade nude recreation for visiting textile resorts and destinations.
We all value things differently, I would value the importance of a husband over that of being clothesfree. Oh, when someone uses the term fiance please don't make assumptions about gender.
I was able to watch all but the first five minutes of the show last night. It didn't seem particularly exploitive but on the other hand, it didn't seem that particularly interesting either. Watching a real estate broker show houses just wasn't that compelling a watch even if the house buyers were nude.
The funniest scene in my estimation was when the pool cleaner showed up to see the nude couple being shown the house. He said he would love to them to buy the house so that he could get a good look at the wife every week. The pool cleaner's reaction was not that different then the package delivery driver's.
The real stars of the show? The houses! The houses were resort-like with their enclosed or indoor pools, and backyards with hot tubs, dipping pools, and privacy plantings.
On the whole, as a nudist, this show was rather boring. Watching people shopping for a home does not make great television. Yes they were nude but nothing was exposed, and this was to be expected. All of the potential buyers seemed to be rather shallow people which didn't help in livening things up.
However thepossibilityof being able to live this life style in such a community was very intriguing. It opened a whole new world for nudists and non nudists alike. Except for some of the inane comments of the buyers, it depicted nudism in a very good light.
There were many pop-ups explaining proper nudist etiquette and general information for the non nudist viewer. This probably answered a lot of questions the general public has about nudism. I believe that these pop-up commentsalso showed nudism in a favorable light.Even though there was a pop-up saying that nudists should always sit on a towel, there was a scene of a woman sitting on a piece of exercise equipment without a towel.

Mea Culpa; it was a man writing this and I foolishly assumed he was marrying a woman. Being straight it never crossed my mind that he may be marrying a man.
My advice still stands. The dating and pre-marriage period of a relationship is a time for finding out if two people's backgrounds, desires and interests are compatible enough to take the next step. Yes love is important for a good marriage but it is entirely possible to truly love a person who you find contemptible and do not really like.
