You will not be the first person and you will not be the last to experience what can be a strange, funny, and perhaps embarrassing, or even enjoyable situation. Is this a moral or funny dilemma you have faced?

Funny, moral and ethical dilemmas you might experience.

If you visit a resort such as Cap d’Agde, just as can happen on any holiday or vacation resort, it is possible that one day you will see someone you know walking by on by, as you stroll on the beach naked, or while you are looking at the postcards in the souvenir shop, or whilst sat in one of the bars.

The difference in Cap d’Agde is that you are very likely both to be wearing no clothes and seeing each other in a way that you have never before, with all on display.

The person you see might be a neighbor, work colleague, local butcher or shopkeeper, or even your local pastor.

All types of people visit the resort and from all works of life.

I have personally chatted with people who include a school headmistress, a TV producer, a policewoman, and a journalist, for example, all of whom visit each year.

You might have the surprise of your life certainly if you see the Director’s secretary bring all as you stand by the water’s edge with a cocktail in your hand.

This situation has happened to people before but you will be surprised. It ends up being a positive experience because it is rare that a work colleague or neighbor will tell others because they themselves will have to admit to enjoying nature’s way.

It tends to be that a sense of sharing a fun secret exists. Many people these days are looking for a new way of traveling, a new experience, and newer ways to relax.

You can if you choose, decide to go camel riding in deepest Africa, you can even go to South Korea and try the sauna experience in a jjimjilbang and participate in the Boryeoung annual Mud Festival, or you can shed your clothes and let go of all your inhibitions and find genuine relaxation.

Many people are surprised by how much they enjoy the naturist lifestyle.

Their partner persuades them to try this alternative form of travel and despite the nervous first hour or so, the majority of people I talk with speak of very positive experiences.

In the first hour the first time you visit a naturist resort, or at a camp, it can be a strangely surreal experience.

The realization that comes to you is that to stay fully clothed, you would get more stares and look stranger than if you walk around in the buff.

For an insight into what it might be like when you try naturism as an alternative form of travel, you might want to watch a movie such as Confetti, the British movie in which a competition is held by a magazine, to see who can organize the most unusual wedding. One of the chosen types is a naturist wedding.
