Dating Advice for Naturists

Dating Advice for Naturists

Author: Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park March 4, 2019 Duration: 42:00

We discuss dating for naturists/nudists. Because single men are the ones who seem to have the greatest challenge in naturism, we focus our advice on them. We interview Melissa who is an affirmed naturist and Christine who is not but would consider it for the right guy.

A summary of the dating advice:

  1. Don’t focus on naturist/nudist dating sites. Most, and possibly all of them, are scams.
  2. Don’t limit yourself to existing naturists.
  3. Don’t make naturism the focus of your profile but don’t keep it secret either.
  4. Gentlemen, nude pictures (and dick pics in particular) don’t work.
  5. Keep trying; you need to talk to many people before you find someone who is compatible. If you’re in Canada, our survey suggests you’ll need to talk to 10 people before you find one who is willing to try naturism.
  6. Treat people with respect. If you know someone who has trouble with this, have them read our webpage on Making Friends in Naturism.

Hosted by the team at Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park, The Naturist Living Show offers a thoughtful and often surprising look at what it means to live as a naturist. While the social aspects of nudity are part of the conversation, this podcast digs much deeper into the philosophy behind the lifestyle. You’ll hear discussions that connect naturism to broader themes of personal well-being, from challenging unrealistic beauty standards and fostering genuine self-esteem to exploring a more conscious and authentic way of being in the world. Episodes naturally touch on topics within health, fitness, and even spirituality, reflecting how a naturist perspective can influence many areas of life. The conversations are grounded in real experience and a sense of community, moving beyond simple definitions. Tune in for a candid exploration of body acceptance, intentional living, and the freedom found in natural simplicity. Each episode aims to inform and connect, providing a voice for a lifestyle that is often misunderstood. This is a podcast for anyone curious about the principles of naturism or seeking a more compassionate and liberated relationship with themselves and the world around them.
