Nude beaches
-
I have been going to nude beaches since my early twenties; I am in my fifties now. I have noticed a decline in the number of people going to these places since the mid 1990s. I wonder why the younger generations seem to have abandoned these places.

Seems that the crowd at nude beaches has always skewed a bit older. Younger people have abandoned not only nude beaches but also gay bars, gay bookstores, gay restaurants, gay neighborhoods, etc. Men can meet each other on Grindr, etc. these days and with greater societal acceptance, there is less need for gay-specific places.

Technology. Cruising is mostly digital now. Basically… we have a menu to pick from and we don’t have to deal with a lot of the unwanted that you guys had to deal with. And if you want sex on the beach you just order it.
I’ve never been a club or let’s hit the local cruise spot guy. I’m not a fan of apps either. I live my life and meet people while doing so. I prefer meeting people who are out actually doing things in life that I can get behind before I get behind them. >:D
Grew up going traveling. A nude beach was nothing to my parents. My parents have never thought nudity was a bad thing & they are quite Christian. What makes it bad is the intent of the observer is what they taught me. That means I’m comfy in just my skin. No complaints so far.
In the US skeevy men tend to troll the beaches. Going to a nude beach is almost like a fetish here (even family friendly ones) compared to European locations where the entire family go and it's no big deal. Seriously… it's like telling someone you're part of a swingers group.
The last time I hit a nude beach stateside was 3 years ago. The boyz & I (varying orientations & ages) did a road trip.
We all played sports and had no problem being naked around people. It wasn't anything sexual. Most of our parents had seen us most or all of naked. Some are more conservative than other & we respected that. It was nothing to have a weekend at one of our houses and find us jumping in the pool naked, walking out of the shower naked, etc. My friends know I would answer the door naked at home. If my parents let them in and they came into my room I slept naked. Jumping in my bed to wake me resulted in my wrestling in the buff. Me half sleep walking to get a drink at night… naked. It was nothing to my parents.
They only bothered me about cloths when we had specific company.
Can’t say I’m a nudist … I’m just comfy with my skin & always find myself naked when I wake up if I fall asleep in cloths.
Anyway..... we rented a beach house. There were some ladies, but mostly older men. Not a problem with older guys. A goodlooking, fit older & confident guy is hot. Fuck... I like the experience the two I have been with brought. These guys were not those. These guys were sleazy & made all our skins crawl.
The 1st day there saw us leaving the beach after being there for only a little bit. The men were a problem. A couple of guys started taking pics and/or vids. The skeevy "boy I'll teach you some things" & offers of pay were just.... ewww.
We got swim suits the next morning. We weren't even left alone in the suits. We ended up spending most of the time there in shorts when trying to enjoy the beach (though we mostly avoided it) because guys were so fucking annoyingly pervy.
They gave the impression that even boys would not be safe there with their families. That is just how gross those guys were.
Being naked, young, and fit didn't mean we wanted to be propositioned by guys who acted as though there was nothing on the beach to do other than ogle our ass and dicks. If you're going to look... look. Don't be pervy about it though. If you see ur making people uncomfotable in thier own skin with the come ons... back the fuck off.
Only 2 of the 8 of us had been to a nude beach. We really just wanted to enjoy the beach in the buff, but that was ruined.

skin cancer even with a strong sun block on the skin. bug bites too. cleaning/washing the sand off gets tedious. camping is more popular now as well imo :anal2: :anal:

Not in Spain: I am 26 and I have been going to a nude beach in the south of my country for 4 years already and the number of people is more or less the same each year.

I would love to try to go to a nude beach. Which country has the most nude beaches?

I'd say it's probably because of a couple reasons. The first being that probably it's more of the older generation at the nude beaches opposed to the younger crowd. I've always wanted to go to a nude beach, but most places in my area that cater to it have been noted by my friends as being filled with older folk. For some like me, it's disconcerting to see folks possibly my father's age baring it all.
On the other hand, technology is so much better than it was back in the 1990s. With wider access to pornographic material, going to nude beaches as a gay visual fantasy has become obsolete. Why go there and expose yourself to the sun and salty air and potential pervs when you can see naked people from the safety of your computer; with the added bonus of seeing explicit sexual activity going on?

I think in some areas, it depends, however, there are some areas affected by the younger generations not visiting a frequently as their older counterparts, which is a shame, because who knows what could happen to those beaches.
