Random Strange Rules And Little-Known Etiquette For Nudist Colonies (12 items)

  (#9) If You Get Aroused, Cover Up

  People are human - things happen. It's the way of the world. If you get physically aroused, it's normal. However, it is important to react appropriately and swiftly. If you are...engorged..reach for a towel to cover up immediately. Or, if you're sitting or lying down, maybe just roll over. 

  If you don't take steps to remedy the situation, you'll probably get yourself kicked out of the colony/resort/beach. To quote The Well Written Woman, "Anyone deliberately laying down or walking around with an obvious erection is trying to draw attention to themselves."

  (#3) Do Not Feed The Alligators

  So, this was an unexpected rule. If you're visiting a nudist colony that's anywhere near a wild animal reserve (or any other places with apex predators or cheeky buggers like chimpanzees), it's probably a good idea to avoid all creatures that would happily snap off your parts. 

  Cypress Cove, a nudist resort and spa in swampy Florida, strongly recommends against feeding the alligators. Mainly because they're alligators, and, naked or not, they are dangerous.

  (#7) Make Sure You're Actually At A Nudist Colony

  Nudists mistaking regular beaches for nude beaches happens more than you might think. So remember, before you ditch your clothes, make sure you check the signs, and maybe even ask a few people if you're in the right spot. It never hurts to be cautious.

  (#5) You Have To Carry A Towel At All Times

  Many nudist colonies implement this rule as a safeguard for various situations, from comfort to sanitary purposes. Per the Cypress Cove Nudist Etiquette & Rules, "Carry a towel with you at all times and ALWAYS SIT ON YOUR TOWEL for sanitary reasons." 

  The concept, it turns out, is universal. The rules of pretty much every nudist colony/resort/beach stress the importance of bringing a towel along with you for sanitary reasons (and just in case you need something to cover up any....physical expressions of excitement).

  (#10) Don't Use Arousal As An Excuse To Approach Other Nudists

  Don't push up on other people for certain...activities, whether you are aroused or not. If you are aroused, per the prior suggestion, put it away/cover up. Naturalists seek safe environments to escape the unnecessary pressure placed on people by mainstream media. Moreover, many nudist colonies seek to be as family-friendly as possible. Flaunting your arousal around contravenes that ideal.

  (#4) Being Naked Doesn't Mean Getting It On

  This seems kinda obvious, but it's important to keep in mind. In a nude environment, maybe you'll meet someone you like. You're both letting it all hang out, you've had a few cocktails, you're feeling frisky. There isn't a stitch of clothing in sight. Sounds like the ideal situation to get lucky, right?

  WRONG.

  According to this Huffington Post piece about the myth-vs-reality of nudist colony life, "It may seem hard to believe, what with all the naked people running around, but nudist resorts are not sexually charged environments. Any type of overt sexual behavior is actually a big no-no."
