    Just as another thought - how about a forums announcements / suggestions group? That way we could request new features and you guys can announce new features that you're introducing. It's a great way to get involvement from users where you can get free feedback about how users see the website and you can then find out what niggles we have when navigating the forums. Just to start things off - how about adding a night mode in the settings so that when I'm browsing at 3am I'm not being blinded by a bright white page lol
  • “Secret” nude beaches - should we be talking about them?

    I have to say I share a similar viewpoint to BeachBum above. 99% of beaches are already marked as nude beaches on map apps (whether official or unofficial) so why spoil the privacy afforded to less well known ones and thus give regulars the freedom to enjoy the beach free from gawkers? For anyone new to naturism there are already a ton of beaches across the world which are well known, so why not point them towards an official beach for their first time to get them into truly social nakedness? I just think that there's very little of our coastlines left now that are unexplored so there's no harm in keeping a private beach private.
  • Where was your first naturist experience and how was it?

    In my case it was as a young teenager on the Isle of Wight in the UK back around 1985/86ish. I had gone on holiday there with my parents and they gave me free rein to go explore wherever I wanted - I just needed to be back at the accommodation in time for the evening meal. So we were staying at a small town called Ventnor to the south of the island and I decided randomly one day to go for a walk to get away from the masses. I was around 14 / 15 at the time and already had some issues of H&E at home which were going some way to educate me that nudity didn't have to equate to sex. After walking some distance I was well away from Ventnor and on a stretch of coast which wasn't accessible by road or visible from any nearby roads. It was summer and I'd taken a towel and a few basic things for the day (sunscreen. water etc) and got to a place where I just chilled. I got to a point where it was too hot and as nobody else was about I just shucked off my swimsuit and enjoyed a couple of hours of nude laziness (with some occasional skinny dipping). Just to add some context - my parents were pretty uptight in terms of body image. Dad was less bothered about walking around nude upstairs but mum properly gave me body image issues and insisted I cover up all the time. Visiting the beach was that first step to freeing my mind from her damaging body image issues and from then on I insisted on getting to a nude beach every summer and Studland Beach (as well as a few others) became a regular place for me. I didn't really get the "scary first five minutes" like some others get because I was on my own where I was. Going to a public nude beach I had already got the experience of being naked on a beach so whether others were there or not didn't have the same impact. I'm at a point now where I love the freeing sensation that much that where I was at the local Spanish nude beach whilst on holiday I would get naked at the car park before we all (my ex and our kids) headed to the sand - saves getting sand in a wet swimsuit!
