Nothing To Dread - Writing what I want since 5 minutes ago

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, [...]

My Sit Down With Desert Sun Resort Owner John Young

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? While mainstream publishers like Gannet publish stories arguing the merits of banning children from [...]

Desert Sun Resort Banning Kids is Prudent

Melissa Lapier (a.k.a Barely Melissa) has written an excellent article sharing the point of view of the one of the rarest and least discussed classes of nudist, the single female nudist. I had hoped to write a more worthy introduction to her article; however, certain circumstances involving an unexpected ping-back have led me to rush my post. [...]

A Singular Life at The Alltogether

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 [...]

Nudity, Sex, and Treasure Hunters

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. Despite not [...]

Nudist Observations From A Non Nudist Woman

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 [...]

A Few Words About Nothing to Dread

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 [...]

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. For years, with the aid of television and tongue [...]

I am nudist though I may roll!

Nothing To Dread - Writing what I want since 5 minutes ago

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 [...]

Nudism at the Museum of Sex

Nothing To Dread - Writing what I want since 5 minutes ago

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, [...]
