(Part 2) Top products from r/nudism

> There are several available on Amazon.

Bought this one for my guy a few years ago. Several of the reviews suggest the book went into more detail than the reviewer was comfortable with -- which is exactly what appealed to me.

Had him read it privately, then gave him an opportunity to ask any questions -- "anything goes, no question is stupid." He had a few. Went well for us.

Covers all of the "boy material" you'd expect, but also hit basic "girl material," safe sex, abortion, same-sex relationships, etc. I'm comfortable with, and wanted him to learn about, those topics. If you're comfortable with all that as well, I recommend this book.

The only other official resort in Idaho is Sun Meadow in Worley, 260 miles from Boise. Oregon has a few, but I don't know if any are in the Eastern half, so it depends on how far you're willing to drive. Utah has none, haven't heard of any in Nevada. Don't know about the other neighboring states.

Idaho's big advantage is the hot springs. It's known for having some of the best hot springs in the country, and many of them are traditionally clothing optional. The trick is that none of them, to my knowledge, are officially clothing optional, so it takes familiarity and experience to know which ones are nude-friendly in practice and which are not. I have two books, Hiking Hot Springs in the Pacific Northwest and Hot Springs and Hot Pools of the Northwest, that have extensive information on the whole region, including notes on the trend of clothed vs nude at each one, but I take that with a grain of salt given that it's been a few years since the most recent editions. I can't advise on any of the Idaho springs, since I've really only gone to one in Oregon. It's closer than any of the Idaho springs, but it's a mixed bag at best when it comes to nudity.

> Look I mean no offense to you but I am sick of hearing religion should die/is the bane of all good so here is your rant/trigger warning.

Agreed that it doesn't sound particularly welcoming, but I also agree that over the course of human history religion has been responsible for many of mankind's ills. At least the leaders of the major religions.

Moreover, an ethical life can be achieved through reason without resorting to myth and coercion. Just ask Thomas Paine . This would also benefit nudism by removing unfounded fears so that we all could enjoy it freely. You wouldn't need articles claiming that "OOPS! We didn't mean to offend!" Why would anyone assume offense in the first place?

There are classes in hospitality and resort management. If your parents are serious they and/or you should be taking them. Community colleges and even four year colleges offer degrees in this sort of thing.
Campgrounds are a huge industry. There are professional organizations dedicated to it. Find out about them and join.

You MIGHT have luck contacting Stéphane Deschênes of Bare Oaks. He runs a first-class place.

Read this book. (And several of the others on that page.)

You are dipping your toe into a deep career field. Good luck.

It's not exactly a beach item, but if you're going by yourself I recommend getting one of those key hides for your car and leaving your valuables (ID, cards, etc) locked inside.

It's not much of an issue, but it's an issue. It's really easy for someone to make off with your wallet if you leave it on the sand and you're in the water. Obviously if you have someone else to keep an eye on it it's not a big deal, but theft does happen.

Also, you should stash a change of clothes in the car. Not because they might get stolen, but mostly because you're likely to have sand everywhere and it's just good sense to have something clean and dry to put on if need be.

This is the one I have. I'm not sure its much better than the tin ones, but i let my friends vote between a few, and this one was the winner.

It's a great question. However, I'm not aware of such a list, including trails with sign post warning about nude hikers. My experience is that most long trails can be walked naked, as long you have a sarong or a quick cover up, or you are walking in a group. I recommend the reading of Naked Hiking by Richard Foley (https://www.amazon.com/Naked-Hiking-Richard-Foley/dp/0957243227/ref=sr_1_2), where you can get more advice about the best way to hike. My 2 cents, not really answering your question ;-)

1.) Last I recall paying, it was $6. But haven't been there since last fall so it may have changed.

2.) The nearest Goodwill is about 34 minutes away. Thrift stores are not widely available given the demographic. It seems like there are more Ferraris than Fords on Collins Ave. Miami Beach is where the rich folk show off (it's also the first and last time I paid $9 for a hot dog!) so thrift stores are few and far in between.

What I'd recommend buying is a chair/umbrella combo. For $27, you can have one shipped to your door in 2 days via Amazon Prime

I'm willing. I started modeling nude for art classes when I was 18 and went to my first nudist resort the following summer. I've gone to several resorts in the 33 years since then, and I've also participated nude in Bay to Breakers, the big 12K run that starts in downtown San Francisco. I'm married with two children, and my wife and younger son go to nudist resorts with me.

Oh, and when I was a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in 2001, host Regis Philbin was fascinated by my nude modeling job on the air. And I have written a book about a sociology experiment in public nudity (it's at https://www.amazon.com/Volunteer-Novel-D-H-Jonathan/dp/1534635246/ if you're interested)...

Paint roller

(I personally don't use that, but saw a gif of someone using it on their back a week or so ago.)

Here's a link to one on Amazon and a bunch of other options are out there

Depending on where you live, there are nude yoga classes.

That being said, if one isn't available you will want to suck it up and take some clothed classes from a yoga instructor to at least get you started as many poses can be very different depending on small changes in your posture, which the instructor can correct.

This video does have the normal beginner poses in it It is more technical than exciting to watch.

If what's at issue are mostly simplicity, casualness, and comfort, then in the setting you describe, it seems flyless boxer briefs will get you "90 percent" of what you want, with just "10 percent" of the awkwardness or conflict that's possible if one tries for the absolute. I'll link to a fair (if perhaps mildly NSFW) sample at Amazon, just by way of example. These amount to almost nothing, but they seem very unlikely to set anyone off or even to draw comment.

It's called Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking (Amazon link)

An encyclopedic new book by historian Fred Harding has just been released which traces the history of breast cancer through the ages and plots the evidence that wearing tight fitting breast garments are a major factor in the disease. For example, as an Egyptologist, he shows that the claim that the disease developed in Egypt is false. The two papyri which the ACS quotes as evidence, he presents to the reader, and guess what they talk about 8 ailments of the breasts of MEN. These include war wounds and sores.

Fred Harding goes through every claim made about breast cancer being an ancient disease and debunks them all. The disease first appeared in the 17th century. The author also presents 7 peer reviewed studies, the Singer studies plus 2 studies not published before that show the link between wearing bras and and breast cancer. The book is called The Tyranny of the Bra, is 560 pages long, full of facts and information. The evidence he presents supports Singer as do some of the doctors in hospitals around the world, which he quotes.
