Dear Abby…

We aren’t a ‘problems page’, but I was recently messaged by an SLFKK reader who has a naturist dilemma. 

I have my own theory on this, but before I offer that, I’m going to throw the floor open for answers as to how you, the SLFKK readers, would deal with this.

Hi, Trine,

My husband and I have been naturists for a number of years and bought our own place at a naturist holiday resort. We rent it out and at the end of the summer he goes out there alone and repaints it all for next season, and sometimes assemble new furniture we may have bought.

Our children (two boys and a girl, now all in their late teens) were all raised as naturists and think nothing of being nude in each other’s company on holiday, even now, and our bathroom at home essentially has an open door policy. They’re all used to seeing one another naked, or Mum and Dad naked, and think nothing of it.

While we’ve been enthusiastic naturists our entire lives, we’ve not been open about it until recently.  We’ve been telling friends and family, and when one of my sisters-in-law heard about it she expressed a desire to accompany my husband to our holiday home as ‘naturism has always been something I’ve wanted to do’.

Maybe there’s something in the genes. My other sister-in-law said she’d like to try it as well, but would book a week from us next year.

My husband is a relaxed, confident naturist, but feels ‘weirded out’ by this request. Anyone in the world can see him naked, he says, but he is uncomfortable about being nude in the company of his sister. I’ve tried pointing out that our children are siblings comfortable in each other’s naked presence, so how would he and his sister be any different?

Is it weird for adult siblings to enjoy naturism together?

He’s digging his heels in over this, and I’m trying to encourage him to take her, as she’s recently been through a messy divorce and could do with a break away from her routine.

How would you, as an experienced naturist yourself, approach this?

I do have a view, which I’ll publish in due course, but before I do, I’d like our naturist readership to offer their opinion on this sibling awkwardness.

Famous

Kanye West premiered a new video yesterday, entitled ‘Famous’ and features a number of naked people…supposed to be celebrities including Rihanna, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift.

I think it’s safe enough to say that apart from Kanye, Kin and possibly Caityln Jenner, the remaining celebrities are fake. But the debate is already raging online as to who is real and who is not.

It’s a classic piece of self-publicity and internet clickbait, I have to say. Nudity still intrigues, still sells, still creates a hysteria of sorts.

Just enough time…

…to do a post about our last morning.

I mentioned our new naturist neighbour earlier in the week.

Her occasional naturism made me wonder if she wasn’t an overly confident naturist, perhaps new to the lifestyle, as she didn’t appear to be a regular visitor to her balcony. This morning she allayed those fears by emerging in a cotton nightdress, removing it on the balcony and then spending a lot of time overlooking the balcony for her cat.

She’s a confident naturist, actually.

Despite it being a hazy morning she’s wandered the balcony in a confident, contended, happily naked manner.

And, as I also reported, she’s wearing a ‘natural’ look, further evidence that, as I also said earlier in the week, ‘girl fur is back‘. Taking my usual stroll along the beach this morning there was even more evidence of that, across all age groups!

It’s not something I’ve ever done here, but next time, I promise…

Pride

We’re all off home later today, so no posts from me until I’m there, and I’ll let Trine get to publishing the other stories she mentioned earlier in the week.

As we’re travelling today, it was a planned ‘quiet’ night last night – until the music started!

My husband wandered off to source it, and came back to report that some sort of Gay Pride parade was happening here at 10pm. So clothes on…and out to watch it.lgbtflag_2873116b

I’m ashamed to say that we did put clothes on, as naturists intermingled with a clothed crowd and if the gay community could fly their rainbow flag with pride, then surely I should have been flying the naturist flag in what I chose (not) to wear, as others happily demonstrated their naturist credentials?

But I’ve not been in that situation before, with a mixed nude/clothed crowd of such proportions, and had no framework to go by. Next time, I’ll know exactly how to (un)dress for it.

I may publish photos from the event, a fun, colourful, vibrant occasion, when I get home.
