I am trying something a little different today, please let me know what you think by adding your comments below. I am going to start letting you know about news items which may be of interest to you rather than just telling you about all of the updates to the site.
Caliente Nudist Resort in Florida has given up it's charter with the American Association for Nude Recreation. The AANR was not happy to learn that Caliente's public relation director is scheduled to lead a workshop promoting the co-existence of swingers and nudists at Swingfest 2008.
While most swingers enjoy being open about their sexuality many just enjoy the freedom to express themselves by wearing little or no clothing. Naturist clubs are not know for their sexuality, although many first time visitors are surprised when they find that out.
The AANR feels that Swingers and Nudists cannot co-exist. What right does a group who constantly defends their right to be open and free to express themselves have to criticize the Swingers community? There are many Swingers who started out as Nudists, got comfortable with themselves to become swingers and still enjoy visiting Nudist resorts. Does that mean that Swingers do not know how to behave? Do we have to have sex with someone just because we see them Naked? Yes, I agree there are a few who seem to have trouble remembering that they are in a public place and need to conduct themselves accordingly, but there are also non-swingers who have the same problem. There are idiots everywhere, telling a Nudist Resort that they are not allowed to approach Swingers and conduct a workshop on how we can co-exist is just plain prejudicial and should not be tolerated. But that is just my opinion, what's yours?.... Sandi
I am not a nudist. I believe very firmly in keeping my cloths on! I am, however, an active swinger....
I may not believe in 'public' nudity, but I certainly would not suggest that a private club has to limit their 'activities' to what I, as an individual, feels is appropriate....
While many or perhaps most nudists/naturalists have no interest in swinging, there are probably just as many swingers with little or no interest in nudist/naturalist camps....
I'm not sure why the 'nudist community' is unwilling to partner/associate/relate cooperatively with the 'swinging community.' After all each is in its own way a 'fringe' lifestyle that should be more accommodating and accepting of each other....
No one can deny that the likelihood of individuals in each community being interested in the activities of the other....
In my own swinging experiences I have found people within the community to be far more pleasant and respectful than those outside the community. The likelihood of finding a 'non-swinger' to be overly sexually aggressive is far more likely than finding a sexually aggressive person within the swinging comunity.
