Naked in Georgia

[Bill Marsh]

about 20 years ago I visited Hidden Valley nudist club. I was dating this girl and she invited me.

It was a really wierd experience. As a city guy I never had much experience wandering naked in a camp ground setting. (A few apartments, back when I was single).

Though I can agree with the country song, "I just don't look good naked anymore," it was quite an experience! I particuarly remember the nude vollyball games....... and the communal sweat lodges.

We were just there for the afternoon, but they had a dance that night --- I don't think I could have done that.

I kept expecting to be arrested. It also brought back some strange dreams. You know the kind I mean where you are someplace like a shopping mall and you are naked? And you shouldn't be?

Some of you "furriners" may not know that the Southern language is a language of nuance. There is a difference between "naked" and "nekkid."

"Naked" means you ain't got no clothes on. "Nekkid" means you ain't got no clothes on AND you are up to something.

I almost hate to drop this thread in the Forum, but here it goes. Anyone have any experiences to share? And please remember this is a family forum.....

Reminds me of the song "It's Me Again, Margaret" by Ray Stevens.

Some of the lyrics:

'It's me again, Margaret...
(Evil laughter)
Hello, is this Margaret?
Margaret, I know it's you, Margaret
Are you naked?
(More evil laughter)'

Well, they called up Ma Bell and they traced him on down
To a funky old phone booth on the outskirts of town
It was there that the vice squad with their field glasses read
The lips of that amorous man as he said

'It's me again, Margaret...
(Evil laughter)
Hello? Is this...is this Margaret?
(Evil laughter)
I know it's you, Margaret
I bet you can't guess what I'm doing...'

when I was in Japan I found the public bath to be a bit unnerving, I too am from north georgia. It was a bit of culture shock. I found the Japanese to challenge me with new and different social concepts on a regular basis.
It was kind of like what kids do, You know, Lets see if the gaigin can handle this, Nokto or fermented bean paste was the first challange as I remember, then sushi( which I love now), not to mention umi ( sea urchin, gasp disgusting) then whale then choking down a live eel swimming in sake ( the only one I didn't do and interstingly enough nether did any of the guys I went drinking with did it either, they were japanese too) . Oh let's not forget the fish testical soup, which they told what it was after I had eaten it, well OK they told me after the first portion and it took till the next portion for me to figuare it out with the english/japanese dictionary what the heck it was. I could feel my face turn green, and it was about a 3 hour dinning experience , lucky for me the challanges were fairly small after that( and quesiness fades with time). Yeah, let's see if Mikee eats it..... or it could be lets give the guy a rare delicacy, treat him good. Gee wonder why he puked? That kinds of insulting.....

Then there was a time when I went on a "family" trip with a lady from work,
Ya know the kids and huband were studying english and wanted to practice on a live one. We went to the Japanes alps , stopped to visit a "special " cave. I walk up a path to the cave, and in front of it was a giant penis carved from stone. To my surprise, Mom walked by and rubbed it affectionately, then Dad did and so did the two sons. Needless to say , my
North Georgian Juido/Christian upbringing started doing fiendish loops and somersaults in my head about the pervision of it all. Then they insisted that I do the same? It was then explain the the reprocution of not doing it would be a lifetime of "bad luck with sex" . Hell who wants to risk that? Not sure how much it helped though. Heck I even pitched a few coins in the shrine there..... the moral right here would have the thing blown up or something if like that was publically displayed here....funny thing was it didn't really hurt a thing, and maybe I did get lucky a few extra times?


Let just say I began to understand, that what people think is normal depends on where you are at the moment.

Another important lesson, If the unknown food taste good, eat and enjoy
ask questions later ( like after your stomach is settled).

It really get's down to what you use to, I know a lot of people who say they could never do such things , but they never had to do it or been in a stiuation where "odd behavior" ( whatever it is for you) is consider acceptable. So why should they? Then there are the rare few with that special courage, who have to get out there and experience it all. I'm not one of them but one who has had to adapt, and who hasn't taken a dare on occation?

Stories? Oh yeah...I got some stories. I'll write every one I can here.....

Yeah, kinda brings back some fun memories. About 7 years back my buddy and I had enough of the cold and snow. We went to Hedonisum in Jamaica for a few days. I went to the nude beach part. Met a girl there who I spent the next several days hanging out with. It was very weird I thought I would stick out since this was new to me. I didn't. It was very bizarre, after the initial shock wore off, it was no big deal. Most of the people there where 60's hippie types, not something you really want to see nekkid, nuances in full use, this is Hedonisum. But some where, well, strippers on vacation, totally uninhibited, did I mention it was all inclusive with a pina colda machine??!! Lotsa fun. I highly recommend it. Thanks for joggin the old memory.

Do NOT cook naked.

This sounds obvious, but sometimes when you're naked common sense has either gone out the window already, or is en route.

Bacon grease spatters a long way, heat just blasts out of an open oven door, and knives just have *no place* around in that state.

LOL! I also had to learn this from experience! Bacon spatter in the nether regions is most uncomfortable!

Using a charcoal grill while naked is also a bad idea.

I would avoid using power tools naked, as well. Not from personal experience, I might add.

There was research done that showed that clothing kept the body from efficiently cooling while engaged in certain physical activities. While I was on Guam, our aerobics class decided maybe we should take this advice to heart since the gym wasn't AC'd and over there you have 95* and 95% humidity all year. The guys were all for it, but unfortunately we weren't given the go ahead by the CO's.......bummer .......but I do work out at home in that condition now. Works great. Well except the bouncing part .......that can be a little painful, so it's just pilates and yoga now :footinmou

I also went to Hedonism. I think it was in Negril, Jamaica. Kind of a PG-13 rated Club Med. They had two beaches, one for "Nudes" and one for "Prudes."

I went to the one for nudes once. My main problem was concern for sunburn to places that normally don't get exposed to the sun. And the laughter was just too much over my carefully applied super sunblock. You know, that white stuff that people put on their noses. Well I put it lower.

I wonder if I wore one of these it would be better?

No, I guess the laughter would be worse unless I was in Baliem Valley, Wamena, Irian Jaya. The length is about right....... Oops, sorry about that! But I thought I would say it before someone else does....
