Revealing online where you practice nudism

I was recently presented with a bit of a quandary: someone asked me where I practice nudism...and I admit I have some reticence sharing that information for reasons specific to that location.

I get that sometimes people want to know where you go because it sounds like a good place to potentially visit. I'm pretty open about going to LOTW; because I think it's a great resort for an "all nude" experience, and I'm doing my bit to promote them. I've also been asked "when" I go there, with the intention of meeting me there. That's a bit "trickier" to me. And the main reason is my wife.
Sure, the "requester's" intentions may be perfectly honorable. I have myself requested to meet personally online nudists with whom I'd developed an enduring rapport. And subsequently met them at a designated resort. I became great friends with one couple in particular.
My wife knows of my online nudist activities; but I think she'd be quite taken aback by someone casually walking up to me at the resort, and exclaiming: "Nudony?! Nudony it's you! So glad to finally meet you! I've read so much about your wife; great to see her too!!" I'd then have to explain to my wife how much I've shared about her online; and it could be a heated conversation, even though I haven't said anything that she hasn't shared herself (with friends). It's just a situation I'd prefer to avoid.

Some might say the odds of this happening are slim. Yet; it has happened to me. Years ago I was at Cedar Creek (with my ex), and an individual sat besides me, smiling, and said "Glad to meet you Nudony. It's me, SCPilot!" I had no idea how he managed to find himself at the very same resort I'd visited just once. It was probably either an odd coincidence, or a mutual friend had informed him I'd be there (we all belonged to the "now defunct" same forum). He was very cordial and respectful; but had he not been, it could have ended up making my wife very uncomfortable.

I think the venue itself can make a difference. For example BB is mum about which nude beach she attends; but the odds of finding her, without any visual clues, on a crowded nude beach are slim to none. My wife and I would also be hard to track down at the resort, especially considering we go there frequently but pretty randomly. A non-landed club/house would be a lot less difficult since events are often scheduled ahead of time and "catching" someone would simply be a matter of following a calendar.

Nudony,

I can relate to your “reticence” in sharing where and especially when you practice social nudism. My wife and I do enjoy occasional social nudism outings. While we have met some very friendly people in our visits to clothing optional venues, we are a bit more skeptical of those we meet online.

On the flip side of this topic, I have never asked anyone at a nudist resort or camp whether they post on nudists websites. I’m not sure why…

Re: Revealing online where you practice nudism

Good point; and same here.

I guess it might be that talking about nudism online might seem irrelevant when you're in a "real-life" nudist setting?

Re: Revealing online where you practice nudism

I definitely agree with that line of thinking.

On the other hand, it may be a way to keep in touch when not able to visit the real life locations. Maybe I'll ask someone in the future? :thinking_face:
