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

  (#8) Stop Staring At People

  One of the most important things to remember about going to nudist colony is, no one wants to be judged. The whole point of going without clothing in a safe environment is shedding the veneer of society and being comfortable in your natural skin.

  So it's a big no to have some weirdo gawking. This is a very important point because this environment is - and should be - a safe space.

  (#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.

  (#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.

  (#2) You Don't Have To Be Naked

  Here's a weird rule from nudist colonies - you can where clothes (sometimes). Resorts at which you can freely roam about in the buff don't usually require you to be this way 24/7. Per a Huffington Post article on the topic: 

   At Desert Sun, clothing isn’t required anywhere on the property, however nudity is a must at the pools, Jacuzzis and while on the pool decks. And no need to bring a swimsuit since those are banned too. Owner Elizabeth Young says, “Unlike some places, requiring nudity in and around the pool puts everyone on the same level and there is no judgment. Desert Sun Resort has found that this works well for first timers to feel comfortable. There is nothing worse than being at a clothing optional resort and you are the only one nude in the pool.”

  (#11) Please Walk Along The Shoreline

  According to the American Association of Nude Recreation (AANR), if you're going to traipse along the beach you should avoid doing it near other people. "Not only is it more refreshing, but you avoid kicking sand up at the people you pass." Which is the polite way of saying, "it's impossible to get sand out of our unmentionable crevices so please stop kicking sand."

  AANR also mentions respecting the local wildlife, which ties into the rule about not messing with alligators.

  (#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.
