“Ask Nudist Day” is a series where our readers can ask us anything as long as it has to do with naturism/nudism. If you have any questions of your own, write to us via our contact form.

A reader sends us this question: “I always thought that one of the big things with nudist(s) is that they are open to people, (as) they really are…I am finding that this is not true. Most of the resorts that I have contacted do not allow body jewelry below the waist…Body jewelry is becoming a part of our lives for both men and women. Yet I can not go to many resorts because of it. Nudist Day…Tell me why.”

Yes, rest assured, nudists do accept you as you are, naked, pure and equal! It is true that many private clubs don’t allow patrons to have genital jewelry. The keyword here is “genital”. Naturism is all about not being ashamed of what we are, but by the same token, naturism isn’t about sex. Genital piercings, just like penis rings, focus attention on a person’s sexual organs.

If this jewelry is removable, then the easiest solution is for you to remove it when you go to nudist clubs. If you can’t or absolutely refuse to, then these adornments that you hold so dear are all that stand between you and meeting some of the nicest, sincerest people you’ll ever encounter. That said, the policy against genital jewelry isn’t a nudist “law”, but up to each club, and not all clubs prohibit such things, contrary to your belief. Visit the rules or FAQ page of each club’s web site to find-out their policy. You can also go to any nudist beach without a problem.

A reader named Panky wrote to us: “We’re a couple, me 59 male and she 52 female, propose to visit Barcelona, Madrid and Seville next summer. Please advise me on the nudist places like beaches resorts and clubs where we can roam about freely together in the nude and can interact with them…”

Fortunately, as we’ve mentioned often in these pages, Spain is probably the most nudist-friendly country in the world. It isn’t illegal to be nude in any public place, be it any beach, or the middle of Madrid, although it’s advisable to only be nude in areas commonly used for that purpose, be it beaches or clubs.

For nude beaches, Barcelona has Playa Marbella, about a 20 minute walk from the Poblenou subway station. Bring a good street map along, as it’s not easy to find! There are also many beaches where nudism is commonplace just outside the city. Madrid and Seville are cities in the dry interior, thus there are no beaches to speak of. While there’s thousands of nudists who live in these metropolises, there aren’t any places we know of in either where you can go nude, except for nude swims at pools in Madrid during the winter as well as nudist get-togethers hosted by Madrid’s AANUMA non-landed club.

Spain has the most to offer to nudists on its southern coast, the “Costa del Sol”, including self-contained nudist communities in both Vera and Costa Natura near Estepona, places where you can be nude 24-7. Thus you might consider making a side trip southwest of Seville.

When you write “and can interact with them”, we trust you mean socialize. In general, nudists are very friendly and socializing comes naturally. That said, however, it’s important to always respect the privacy of others.

A reader named Nisar, wrote to us: “Will you please inform me about any nudist resort/club in Singapore?”. Here’s our answer…
There aren’t any nudist clubs or resorts in Singapore. Your best bet is to fly to Australia or New Zealand where there are many. However, there are nudists in Singapore, as anywhere else, and there have been some attempts made to bring them together, should you be looking to meet like-minded people. One group organizes nature walks at night(!). You can contact them via their web site below. There’s also a “Meetup” group which seems to have a lot more male than female participants. We advise caution, however, in an ultra-conservative nation such as Singapore.
