		<description>Normally I do not post comments but couldn&#039;t help myself. I read every one. First, let me address those who would never be publically nude.  That is perfectly fine and its actually a very good thing you know your limitations and discomforts; however I do find it unacceptable to say it is gross or &#039;eewww&#039; for those who choose to be nude. I find it annoying and repulsive when someone chews with their mouth open and makes smacking noises but it is who they are and how they are built so no comment needs to be posted about one particular person or group and where it occurred. Some people are inhibited and some are not, it is what it is, and no one is right or wrong.  Second, my hubby and I went to PSC last year for the first time. He was disrobed before he got the car in park. I on the other hand was nervously looking around, nnot because I was afraid to be naked but because outside of those gates its illegal to be nude in public and I was trying to wrap my brain around the fact that didn&#039;t apply there. We made our way to the pool on a nice sunny day and members where littered around and in the pool, all nude.  Ages ranged from early twenties to well educated ;-)  everyone was so pleasant. We had a married man talk to us for awhile, explaining the property, events and the history of PSC. The members dug that pool, the largest private pool in the state. Wow. We lounged and swam and then walked the grounds. We couldn&#039;t wait to become members, and we are. We also went to the Nudes-A-Poppin show. Fun, fun, fun and no tolerance of any kind for any unacceptable behavior anywhere. There is such a tight knit community there without judgment. I am blinding white. I don&#039;t tan, I crisp and peel. I use SPF 5000. I am petite in stature and my hubby is a sizable man. But to tell you the truth I can&#039;t remember what others looked like, you don&#039;t notice. And this is the only place when talking with men that their focus was always to my face and not southward.  We plan on staying members until we can no longer move of our own free will. We are going down next week to clean up our lot and get ready for the long awaited season! And FYI, we are in our early thirties and have met several young couples down there.  There is no reason why one should not feel beautiful or handsome in their skin. Be confident in all that is you.  I did not feel that way for many years and it was a long hard road to accept and believe the valid truth in that statement. I just wish I had realized it much sooner!  Hope to see you there this season!</description>

		<description>I went there about 20 years ago and had a wonderful time.I bought 2 pizzas one night and gave the extra one to some people standing around chatting. They came over and chatted the next day and thanked me. Its the only place i didnt feel so out of it as a single male nudist. Since i am a workaholic and work 60-70 hours a week driving trucks and farming i havnt had the time to go &#039;anywhere&#039; or felt like it. But would love to go back there again. However i have become particially [sic] disabled and cant get around good. and have also gained about 200 pounds due to my work and not being able to exercise much. Hope they still let single guys  in, if i can tear myself away from work. lol</description>

		<description>I ran across this blog today and I needed to share my personal first time experience at PSC.  It was both very strange and very wonderful.

I am a closet nudist.  I live in a very secluded location and so I will often work out in the garden in the nude, take nude hikes, and on many days, since I just work from home, I will often work nude (wouldn’t those on the other end of the phone be surprised).  I say I am a closet nudist because most of my nude activities are solo. On rare occasions, when our family finds ourselves alone at a hot pot or sand dunes, my wife and children will join me for a quick swim or playing on the dunes in the nude, but other than that, my nudist activities are solo and have not been socially oriented.  No one other than my family knows of my nudist activities.  I don’t live anywhere near a nudist beach or resort so I have not had opportunity to be socially nude.  

While on a business trip last year I found myself stranded on Labor Day away from home with nothing to do.  I went to the web to see if there was a nudist beach or anything somewhere in the region to give that a try and I found the PSC site.  I decided it was time I found out what it was like to go to a nudist resort.  

I arrived early in the morning.   I was instructed at the gate to park near the pool and to just leave my clothes in my car.  I did this and found that I was the only one at the pool.  The day was actually quite cool with lots of clouds and a cool breeze.  I could see people starting to zip around on their golf carts, but they were all dressed, many with coats and sweaters.  Finally someone stopped and asked if I was a guest and told me that once a year they have golf cart races down at the field and that it would probably be awhile before anyone comes to the pool.  I was told I was welcome to join them down at the field, and I was told that due to the cold day it was okay if I wanted to put something on.  

But I figured I did not pay to come into a nudist resort just to wear clothes, I needed to give this a shot, and due to the fact that I often hike in cool weather I just decided I would remain in the nude.  I got down to the field where they were beginning to have their family fun in running their carts around an obstacle course.
 
But who would have figured that this first time visitor to a nudist resort would be the only one nude!  

There were lots of people and lots of age ranges, but understandably due to the colder weather they chose not to be nude that day.  On occasion, as the sun would peek out of the clouds for a few minutes, one or two people would disrobe, but as soon as the sun went away, the clothes were back on, all but mine.  

At first it seems a little strange, but I told myself that these people did not care at all if I was nude, and that was a very refreshing feeling.   After the golf cart races everyone made their way up to the pool to hand out the awards, but still I remained the only nude person in the pool area.   I stayed for most of the day, and walked around the property of the resort.   I’m not a big social person in the first place so I kind of remained to myself, but I had some conversations with some of the people there and they were very friendly.  

So while it would have been really nice to actually have the other people at the resort be nude as well, I found the whole experience of being able to be nude myself around others, with no one to care in the least, was very uplifting and I found the place very enjoyable.  

I don’t know if I will have opportunity to go back there again, but I will surely visit again if I do, and hopefully it will be a day when others can be in the nude too.  I left that place feeling these people were really lucky to have such a wonderful place where they could just relax and be free to be nude and enjoy life that way.</description>

		<description>Sun Aura is not part of AANR! It also is not a filthy place and no sex in public not sure what you people are talking about. It is the best place on earth, you couldnt pay me to go to Ponderosa.</description>

		<description>I worked with Tom at the railroad and made multiple visits to the camp after he disclosed that he and his parents owned it.  that was 41 years ago. Dawn and Scarlett were little tykes and stole my heart.   My take on the &quot;nudist experience&quot; is that it doesn&#039;t work in this country.  Too many hangups and too many perverts.  If you&#039;re young and good looking, you may have uncomfortable come-ons from newbees.  Stalkers and gawkers will be asked to leave. The camera rule is enforced.  Someone wanted to photograph me back then, but I didn&#039;t give permission.  I was also approached to enter a &quot;miss nude america&quot; contest to be held there, but I declined because I&#039;m not an exhibitionist, just believe in the right to walk around nude in a place where that won&#039;t offend anyone. I&#039;m glad to hear that the place is alive and well, but sorry to hear of Tommy&#039;s passing.</description>

		<description>As a member, I want to clear up a few things. I didn&#039;t read every post so I don&#039;t know if it has already been clear. The manditory nudity is only in the pool for members. Guests (males esspecially) must be nude. This is so that the preditors cannot hide. Women get a little slack for mother nature. The clothed guys working, have had mishaps and issues with splinters before. A shirt while working with wood (no pun intended) is a must. The food trailer is not the norm. We have a member that grills pool side every year. The food is fresh and made to order. Please come on back and have some fun.</description>

		<description>Yes I have been to the nude beach in S. Florida, I think it actually falls in Broward County, not Dade (but close). Clothing optional is the buzzword, I wore speedos cause I think a tanline is hot :)</description>
