Nude Beach - 40 Years Ago vs. Yesterday

[luckyseven]

I have been going to nude beaches and resorts for the last 55 years and still get the same thrill as I did when I first started. In fact, I have plans to go about 6 or 7 times this year.

Same for me.

The main attraction of nude beaches is the feeling of freedom and body acceptance that comes from being completely naked in a social setting. It allows me to feel comfortable in my skin without the self-consciousness associated with wearing swimwear, often leading to a sense of liberation and a more relaxed experience with nature; essentially, it's about embracing your body without judgment from others in a dedicated space for nudity.

Once you pluck up the courage to talk to a stranger naked, you feel at home and at ease, with a deep sense of freedom.

Unfortunately, sometimes, when my wife took her clothes off and was lying naked on the beach within 10 minutes, guys surrounded her. I don’t know who enjoyed it most, her or all the guys around her, but it ended up a good beach day.

She told me she felt less naturist and more centrefold. But they kept their distance content to ogle and found it wasn’t an unpleasant sensation. It wouldn’t be for everyone - but with eyes following her every twitch, she found quite a turn-on.

She did encounter one exhibitionist but just told him she wasn't impressed, and he soon went away.

A very happy 2025 to one and all! It's late morning here in southern AUS and trying to get into gear following a fairly big day yesterday.

My friend had a crazy idea to visit the same nude beach (naturist beach for the purists) that we spent New Years Eve at exactly 40 years ago to the day.

To those that have read my previous posts, you'll know that I spend most of the warmer months in a naked state working around my winery. Born with pale skin I am a sunblock marketer's dream, which goes some way to explain my pink zinc fetish.

So, what has changed in 40 years?

For a start, me. As an 18 year old I was quite slim, with big boobs. Now as a 58 year old, I'm quite chubby with even bigger boobs

And that's where I get the sense of deja vu ...... back in the 80's, nude beaches were the domain of the very young and the very old. Now they are just the very old. Almost as if the demographic of nudists has simply increased. There were around 200 yesterday and I barely clocked anyone below the age of 50.

Except for those that thought it was a great idea to bring their grandkids. Seriously? To those that believe that nudity is a natural and non-sexual environment, please pull your head out of the sand. It really lowers the vibe, even though there was no more than a dozen yesterday, it was a dozen too many.

Pubic hair, or lack thereof. In my day, our pubes were something to be proud of. I still have all mine, but I'm in the absolute minority. Lots of smooth penises and vulvas, and to be honest, to me it's not as pleasing to the eye. Just a personal opinion.

Fat, and lots of it. Like most I have let myself go, even though I do a lot of work around the farm I have managed to pile on the kilos. But yesterday I felt almost svelte. I would not like to get between this crowd and a buffet table!

Facial hair - I've never liked it, but it seems to be the rule that every male must look as though they work at a coffee shop.

Tattoos and piercings. Why oh why did I get the armband in 1997. Oh, I know, so I could experience the fun of tattoo removal sessions, only to back out at the fifth attempt and make it look worse. Tattoos on older people are a testament to what they thought was cool at the time. Especially tribal arm jobs for men that have no connection to a tribe other than the football team they follow. Nipple piercings = gross!

Tans, very few of them. I've never achieved a tan but I used to love seeing sexy tanned bodies, with our without the tan lines. I seems the good work the cancer council have done in the past in getting their message across has worked. Even as a straight chick there was nothing sexier than a fully tanned woman covering herself in baby oil. Yep, they used to do that!

Penises .... they seem to have become shorter over the years - maybe it's just my nostalgia kicking in

Boob jobs. They don't age gracefully, 60 year olds + with the tits of a 20 year old look just plain stupid.

Technology, what an issue. In the 80's it was something we never had to worry about, although to be honest there was probably the odd camera snapping here and there. But if you ended up on someone's camera reel, there was little chance it would be published anywhere. To be honest there's probably not a great market for nude pics of people my age, but I can understand why the younger crowd would be intimidated by the thought of what could end up being very public.

Same sex couples. Extremely rare to see 40 years ago. I was there with a female friend (totally platonic) as my husband thinks public nudity .... in fact nudity in general is for the vain or the stupid or both. Just an observation but the LGBT crowd don't hold back in public affection. Guys were dispensing handjobs to each other, and there was some very intense woman on woman kissing going on.

Don't get me wrong, I had a good time. I got quite drunk on my own wine, and now wish I didn't have that last bottle. But, I will always hold those 40 year ago memories more fondly!

Love this, couldn’t agree more.

Probably won't happen. If it does, it isn't something nobody's seen before. Don't worry about it.
