On the subject of a 'naturist dream', mine is fairly modest.
My wife is not a naturist and isn't keen on me being naked at home except for the usual circumstances (having a shower, getting ready for bed etc). I have an adult son living at home with his girlfriend so it's extremely rare for me to have the run of the house naked - I can only do that when everyone else is out. I have my naturist haven at the bottom of the garden, and I can go to naturist clubs, beaches, swims, spas etc., so I'm luckier than some.
So my 'naturist dream' is simply to experience living naked 24/7, and I'm hoping to achieve that for a week in September when I go to Euronat with Suzanne Piper and her group. So long as the weather is amenable, I plan to get undressed when I arrive and not get dressed again until I leave - with the probable exception of wearing shoes and perhaps a hat while enjoying the resort and beach. I want to relax, participate in activities, prepare meals, socialise etc. - all the usual aspects of life - without having to wear clothes. And crucially, without being apprehensive about what anyone might think, because I'm in a place where nudity is the norm rather than being weird or offensive. At least I hope that's what Euronat will be like. I've heard rumours that the place is becoming a bit too clothing-optional, but I will find out - and if so, then perhaps another year I'll find a place where the naturist ethos is stronger.
Thanks for sharing John. The great thing about being somewhere like Euronat is that even if some people do foolishly opt to wear clothes, that fact that it is a naturist environment means that you do not have to and no one will judge you for that, and will be totally accepting of you nudity at all times.
We found this with MontaLivet a couple of summers back. There was a percentage of people who wore clothes, but there was never a feeling of "this enforces clothing on others." We opted to be naked and that was 100% fine. Our youngest son was in fact the only person below 18 that walked around naked (others opted to only undress to enter the pool - and then walked around either covering their penis or breasts depending on gender), but crucially it still feel right to be naked if you chose.
In some way this is quite refreshing, as it shows what the whole world could be like if we had a clothing optional society everywhere. People simply choosing whatever level of nudity they fancy without anyone being shocked or surprised, or being voyeuristic or exhibitionist. So even those who choose clothes may be topless or bottomless, underwear free, have simple wraps and shawls etc. However in a naturist environment it is still a little sad. Particularly when you see it become a "copying others" thing. Such as with children and teens. When too many do it, it starts to become tough for those who want to not follow suit to take the stand and strip off. Our youngest son discussed it and opted to take that stand, but many won't, and then the habit is formed. It is a shame as this should be a refreshing and wonderful experience for children encouraging them to escape clothes and run around free of judgement. Instead they are showing the same level of concern as they would in a clothing based environment. Wearing clothes whenever they can and turning their hands into "clothing alternatives" when not. Mind you this sort of "cupping" breasts and genitals is even used by some bloggers and writers in naturist publications, so there is a lesson be preached by them in this respect too. Ideally our children (and other naturists) should see no reason to consider breasts and genitals as worthy of censoring and give equality to their whole body in that respect.
