* (Please contact me if you know where I can purchase the glassware shown in my gallery; used ok! - gotta have the #750) * Nude history: As a kid, I was shocked to discover a brother skinny dipping in spring run-off. But scandal doesn't have a long shelf life. A few summers later there I was, riding my scratched up bicycle down summer prairie roads in rural Dakotah, looking for a suitable patch of tall grass where I could throw down a blanket, get naked, slather on Coppertone, plug a sole earphone into a transistor radio, and get to baking myself brown... all over. It wasn't until many years later I was comfortable enough with this same nakedness to enter the world of social naturism. And here I am, living on Oahu where nudity is illegal on beaches. Not that I haven't learned to sneak and find remote enough spots (familiar story?), but it's just not as relaxing having to run from the cops at my age (see video). Of course other less populated islands in the Hawaiian archipelago are a bit more laid back. So I save my pennies and fly off to get naked with friends on Maui or Hawaii island, where either naked beaches are more established, or the cops don't care, or both. Recent fascination: the AVEN asexual site.

Who I'd like to meet

Happy-inside types * Not interested in hooking up. * About every quarter I delete all my TN friends, so don't take it personally. * Did I say I'm not interested in hooking up? * I've read this on many TN profiles: Won't accept friends who have not developed a profile, who have no OPEN gallery. * Well, I've decided to do the same. Come on people, spend some time letting us know who you are. Develop your profile. Let us know you're not a voyeur, that you're really a naturist. This can't be one-sided. OK? Strange is ok, just don't be a stranger!

My Interests

not necessarily in this order: Hiking/walking partners. Tibetan meditation. Sunbathing nude where it's safe. International film. Design that makes a jaw drop. Good, loud, growling thunder storms that shake the house. Peeps who piss in the sink to conserve water. Art and photography. Yummy smoothies. Sunsets deep enough to dive into. Eyes deep enough to swim in. A tattoo that speaks. Peacetime. Avocados. A drum circle that tickles your bones. Sunflower sprouts. French glassware -- PLEASE HELP ME FIND THE OLD LUMINARC WORKING GLASS 750 ML. Natural body hair, wherever and however it grows. Someone to take me on a naked desert hike. Watching a butterfly emerge. Writing. Editing. Earthquakes that don't do much damage. Houseplants that survive. Water lilies in the garden with guppies. Going commando. That thangka on my wall. Blue bottles on a sunny windowsill. A car that runs -- or an auto mechanic in the tribe. Crows. A slow, gentle rain that lasts all day. Decent drivers. A swimming instructor - before I drown. A deafening waterfall. Dragonflies. A home that doesn't get dirty. A karaoke song in my range, if there is such a thing. People who remind me to not be such a smart ass. A trip through a thrift store, hell, a week-long trip through all the thrift shores of a very large city -- twice. The Merrie Monarch Hula Festival. An exquisitely hand-carved Buddha. Road trips. Clothesline dried bed linens. The quiet of country. Other people's pets. Remembering to breathe. Good water. Reasonably polite neighbors. Sitting in bliss. Oatmeal / cranberry cookies. Bugs where they belong. Moss. Cheese so good, it makes you drool. Snorkeling through a coral reef. Old black and white photos of my dad and his twin brother. An awesome slice of bread. Sea turtles that won't let you touch 'em, because you're not supposed to. A good hugger. And a night of long, deep, uninterrupted sleep.
