My First Public Nudity Experience

On March 15, I experienced my very first visit to a nudist resort and my introduction to nude recreation. After deciding that social nudity was something I wanted to experience and explore, I had been eager to visit a resort but of course was a little nervous about it too. I packed my gear along with towels and other items that were suggested on the resort’s web site and then I was on the road around 12:30 p.m.

It took me about an hour and 20 minutes to reach the resort, Bluebonnet Naturists Resort. As the gates came into sight I was still feeling nervous, but committed to trying this. I stopped the car and took a couple of deep breaths before pushing the intercom button.

I chose this particular time for my visit day specifically because the owner of resort during our telephone conversation had told me he didn’t expect a very large crowd since it was early in the season and the weather had been cool and rainy during the past week. Since this would be my very first casual public nudity experience, I really thought not having to face a huge crowd might be a little less intimidating and would help me feel comfortable with it a bit faster. After identifying myself at the intercom, the gates swung open to admit me and I continued on to the Welcome Center, located just inside the entrance.

Stepping out of the car I was immediately greeted by the owner. I suppose I was somewhat surprised that he was dressed as I guess I just assumed the staff would be naked. It was however still a bit cool when I arrived. The owner spent a good deal of time talking with me after I arrived, telling me about the history of the place and about some of the facilities and activities available. I felt he was trying to help me feel at ease and get over feeling nervous but also could tell that he was sort of “checking” me out to make certain I was a stand up guy (which he later confirmed he was). I didn’t mind that at all because it demonstrated that he has a lot of consideration for his membership and wasn’t just profit driven.

After our discussion, the owner checked my identification, made a copy of my driver’s license and had me complete some brief paperwork to officially check-in. He went over the resort rules and then gave me some preliminary information on memberships and costs. After taking care of the financial end of my visit, he then escorted me to a building (which I later learned was the clubhouse). On arrival, he had me remove my clothes before starting the tour and he removed his as well, I think to make me feel more comfortable.

I was actually amazed by how nice and well equipped the clubhouse was. There was a spacious dining room, dance floor, big screen television with satellite service, a Wii setup, a game room, a sun room with lots of comfortable seating and a fully equipped commercial type kitchen. Adjacent was a pool area, with two pools, spacious sun decks with lots of loungers and chairs, a large hot tub and sauna. Across the street there were tennis courts and a sand volley ball pit. Everything was very clean and well kept and the grounds were well maintained with lots of landscaping evident.

After a thorough tour, the owner invited me to walk around a bit, explore the grounds and to choose my camp site. He also invited me to use any of the facilities I wished even the kitchen as long as I cleaned up after myself. I had my pick of sites as there were no other tent guests during my visit and there were lots to choose from. The fee for all tent sites, even those with electric and water are very reasonable, only $5 per day.

After walking around a bit and then setting up my camp site, I headed straight for the nature trails for my first nude hike. The sun was bright and the conditions were near perfect by that time and it was amazing how nice the sun felt on my skin. I was actually surprised with how quickly I became comfortable being outdoors completely nude. While there weren’t any other short-term guests during my stay, the resort has a good number of permanent residents and so I did encounter other people from time to time. Without exception everyone was friendly and didn’t even seem to notice I was naked and so I didn’t feel at all uncomfortable.

The first day I pretty much spent exploring the facilities, hiking on the groomed nature trails and took time for my first ever nude run. Following a restful night I awakened the following morning at about 8:30 a.m. It was a bit too chilly for clothing optional so I had to throw on a fleece jacket and a pair of sweat pants while I had breakfast and coffee. But by 10:30 a.m. it had started to warm up and was once again comfortable to go clothes free. I spent the morning taking a second jog around the resort roads then sunbathed beside the pool until lunch time. After lunch I showered and then enjoyed a dip in the hot tub. The hot tub was fabulous and my first hot tub experience without wearing swim trunks. I also tried out the sauna, my first time in one of those. I did a little more hiking on the nature trails and then grabbed a book and spent some more time lounging by the pool. By 4:00 p.m. I was starting to feel the effects of the sun, especially on those areas where I never get sun and decided I better get packed up and headed home. I rounded up my things and was all packed up by 5:00 p.m. I really hated the thought of having to put clothes on again after more than 24 hours of being nude. Finally I forced myself to put on a polo shirt and pair of shorts and not surprisingly it felt as bad as I expected.

By the end of my visit, I had encountered quite a few people some naked ones and some clothed and never once felt out of place or uncomfortable. It was a fabulous experience and such a relaxing and pleasant two days. I had finally felt the freedom and naturalness that I’ve read about. It was such a nice feeling walking about with nothing on but my tennis shoes, sunscreen and a towel around my shoulder. Overall, I’d say my first nudist experience was perfect and I was actually amazed at how quickly I felt comfortable in this new environment. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and plan to visit the resort again soon as well as a couple of others I’ve read about. It was the perfect low key introduction for me but next time I’ll go when the season is in full swing so there will be more guests to socialize with since this first experience has I think allowed me to get over the inevitable shyness as a newcomer.
