11 Interview Questions From A Naturist Blogger in Spain About Nudism in America
|
|
I was recently contacted by a nudist blogger named Deucalion Holmes to do an interview. Deucalion lives in Spain and manages an internet group called Nudistas de Murcia - nudists of Murcia, Spain. Then he interpreted the interview into Spanish on his website, Eco naturismo. We thought we'd share the English version of our Q&A with our community.
1. How and why did https://s3.amazonaws.com/w-naturist/granny-beach-sex.html start in nudism?
I was raised a fkk with my family at a club called Rock Lodge in New Jersey. For the first two years of my life, my family lived full-time in the club. Afterward they purchased a house in a (cloth) neighborhood nearby, and Rock Lodge became our summer place. It actually is only a seasonal club that shuts down in the chillier months. A couple of times per year, I Had also go to Gunnison Beach with buddies, which is the large nude beach in NJ.

2. Is it true that some universities in the U.S. are open to hold fkk events and actions?
Yes, though the events and actions that come to mind aren't run by nudists or referred to as "nudist" events. For example, some universities have a traditional, yearly streaking event where a group of pupils will run around naked across the campus, just for fun. https://s3.amazonaws.com/w-naturist/nudism-porn.html are known for having naked parties (arranged by pupils, not the university itself). As for more official occasions, Brown University for example hosts an annual week-long event called "Nudity in the Upspace." During this week, they have lectures, discussions, naked yoga, body painting and other tasks.
I don't know of any official university naturist club, but I'll bet at least some universities would be open to having one in their roll of official clubs.
3 . What do you do in America to get young people interested in the naturist lifestyle?
Essentially we do a lot of online marketing and social media, and we cater our occasions toward the younger demographic. We organize workshops and classes, too as fun activities like our big slip n' slide and pudding toss. We additionally have a naturist philosophy with ethos and values, not for the lone purpose of bringing young folks but I believe that does appeal to my generation (I am 26). I believe it attracts more people in general when you put meaning behind nudism, in place of merely saying, "Let's all get nude cause it's fun." Of course it is fun, and there are many "recreational nudists" who just like being nude, but to us, naturism is about more than that. At the most fundamental level, it is about acceptance.

4. How was the experience of Body Paint and Actions Artwork in Time Square?
Awesome! You can read the recap of that occasion here.
I've enjoyed being a model each and every time. It's exhilarating, a bit extreme on occasion, but it's an excellent expression of freedom and body approval shared with the city and really, with the world, also. Without a doubt it's a positive impact both on the folks that see it as well as those who participate in it.
5. Tell us something about the fkk comedy show you helped to create.
Oh, the comedy show was a fun occasion. The comics were quite cool, and had no trouble performing in front of a naked crowd. One even determined to get nude during his act!
Then we'd Dave Attell, an extremely renowned comedian, join the show. He normally charges a ton of money to perform, but came to our event because he believed it was cool. So that was awesome.
6. Have you ever been to Spain?
It was during the winter (but not too chilly). I loved it!
Someday I'd like to go back to Spain and see more.
7. In which places is nudism let in the United States?
Well there are over 200 private clubs and resorts across the U.S., though some states do not have any clubs / resorts.
We have very few public nude beaches compared to European nations, but they do exist. Regrettably, it is hard to create awesome nude beaches, and the ones we've are regularly endangered by local officials wishing to shut them down (simply because they do not enjoy it). That is why we have organizations like the Naturist Action Committee that fights anti-nudity legislation and lobbies for naturists.
And lastly, there are the unofficial, technically illegal, spots at beaches or recreation areas. This includes places that have a longstanding tradition of skinny dipping, and it's taken by town or city. But other times it mightn't be as accepted as a tradition, and folks would say, "Get nude at your own danger."

Nudists need to be a bit more careful at the unofficial places and do their research ahead. Being caught naked in an illegal place can lead to fines or even arrest and jail time. In some states, public nudity charges can cause a person being registered as a sex offender, which is a huge issue.
Occasionally nudists are even persecuted for being nude within their home or on their own property, if others see them. I know I am making the U.S. sound like a terrible place! Haha. But I'm sure you understand this country is rather backwards as it pertains to nudity.
8. Is nudism let in American shores?
Not at most beaches, no. Other nude beaches are unofficial and technically illegal, but have some type of naked custom.
9. How easy is it for fkk American families to find enough affordable places, where they can let their kids to practice it?
Families do the exact same material as routine nudists. In terms of affordable spots, that can be challenging. And sometimes the challenge is not the cost, but finding a spot that is family-oriented / family-friendly. Or locating a spot that is "family-oriented" and really has other families present. A lot of clubs like to say they're family-friendly, but unfortunately clubs have seen a decline in families with children seeing or becoming members. I seen a decline in children at my own home club, Rock Lodge, as I grew up. Nevertheless that appears to be changing there, and they seem to have had an increase in families over the last few years. Whatever nudist-nudist , most places will let children under 18 in for free. So that helps with the cost. To attend a plage remains much more affordable for a family, but you've got to be lucky to live near a legal nude beach.
10.Do you believe all beaches and lakes should be clothes-optional, or you'd rather have separated areas for nudists and for fabrics?
Distinguish areas. I really believe this is what works best, for both naturists and bathing-suit people. Someday in the far future, perhaps it will be possible to have all regions be clothing-optional and everyone will be fine with nudity and honor one another. But for now, we need to have independent areasthe most basic rationale being that so many people still get offended by nudity.
11. Is there any celebrity that supports FKK?
Have some questions about nudism in Spain? Post a question (or two) in the comments and we will select some questions for a mini interview with Deucalion!
