On Friday, Desert Sun Resort owner John Young and I sat down at the smallest table in the Starbucks corporate inventory. John shook my hand, looked me square in the eye, and we spent the next two hours discussing the events leading up to the current controversy surrounding Desert Sun Resort, the resort’s ban on children, [...]
Desert Sun Resort Banning Kids is Prudent
April 11, 2012
Reporters covering the nudes? - Via socialneanderthal
Isn’t it great to see our nudist lifestyle covered by the mainstream media?
An opinion piece about Desert Sun Resort, written by “Staff Reports” at mydesert.com (A Gannet Company), says that banning children from nudist resorts is prudent. Isn’t that special?
Nudity, Sex, and Treasure Hunters
April 10, 2012
Two women with whom I discussed social nudity this week indicated that they are more comfortable with nudity when sex is on the table… Wipe that smirk of your face. You know what I mean… Both women were over the age of forty. One of the women went so far as to say that I would have [...]
Nudist Observations From A Non Nudist Woman
April 9, 2012
What would it take to make you more comfortable in your own skin?
Last week I published my interview with Areti, a single nudist mother living with her two sons in Athens Greece.
Today I’d like to try something a little different. I’d like to share the views of my friend Kay, a non-nudist woman who lives with her husband and children somewhere in New England.
A Few Words About Nothing to Dread
April 8, 2012
I just put the finishing touches on an article that I think some of you will enjoy. It’s not really an interview, but I’ve taken several excerpts from a message that I received from a non-nudist friend who recently read Nothing to Dread for the first time. I’m giving her a chance to approve the article before [...]
Desert Sun Resort Defended by “Paul”
April 6, 2012
Occasionally the response to a comment at Nothing to Dread seems bigger than the comment section. Instead I choose to highlight that response, and the original comment, in a post of its own. Today’s response is to Paul who wrote in because someone has to speak for Desert Sun Resort. Paul accuses me of bias [...]
I am nudist though I may roll!
April 5, 2012
via Naturisme en France on Tumblr
Today I’d like to draw your attention to the reckless, and alarming rate at which nudism is linked to cycling. Events like the World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) run the risk of giving non nudist Americans the impression that nudists are a group bicycle riding savages. Read more »
Nudism at the Museum of Sex
April 4, 2012
Lejaren A. Hiller - Untitled, ca. 1950 Via Regard Intemporel on Tumblr
Sex and nudism is a topic that I’ve written about several times at the old Nothing to Dread Blog. Many nudists don’t like discussing sex and nudism in front of mixed company because they’re afraid that you non nudists will get the wrong idea. I have faith in you. Reading Nothing to Dread proves that you’re smarter than they think you are. Read more »
Desert Sun Resort Roundup
April 3, 2012
When faced with a challenge, the Desert Sun Resort's owners chose the nuclear option
I can’t see a lot of good in the Desert Sun Resort story, but at least John and Elizabeth Young got us all talking about the same subject. Except for some minor variations, most of us seem to agree on the important parts of this story. We also seem to agree that this is bad, very bad. Read more »
Nudist Resorts And Kids
April 1, 2012
The nudist resorts that I’ve visited in Palm Springs aren’t the sort of places where I would want to take kids. As someone recently pointed out, only someone who hated their kids would take them to the Terra Cotta Inn. That’s not a shot against the Terra Cotta Inn and its owners the Mulhall’s, but [...]
Nudist Interview Number One: Areti
April 1, 2012
The subject of my first nudist interview is Areti (Αρετή), a single mother of two living with her sons in Athens, Greece. I’ve never met Areti in the flesh, but our online introduction occurred several years ago while she was dating my cousin. He doesn’t know that I’m a nudist, but some instinct told him [...]
Background Checks At Nudist Clubs
March 30, 2012
Background checks are becoming an important part of organized nudism. At the SCNA meetup a couple of nights ago, our host was proud of the fact that local landed clubs welcome SCNA members because they know SCNA performs thorough background checks on all prospective members. The need for background checks is not a sign of increased danger [...]
SCNA March 2012 Torrance Meetup
March 29, 2012
Each month, the Southern California Naturist Association (SCNA) hosts a monthly dinner and discussion group at different pizza parlors or restaurants around the greater Los Angeles area. SCNA hosted last night’s meetup at the Coco’s Restaurant & Bakery on the corner of
Desert Sun Resort Casts A Long Shadow
March 28, 2012
This week, resort owners John and Elizabeth Young alienated many in the nudist community by citing “child porn” concerns as justification for their recent decision to ban children at Desert Sun Resort. I’ve visited Desert Sun Resort on several occasions. It’s a large property with a small employee footprint. The staff at Desert Sun Resort is friendly [...]
