We are not nudists by any means. Just not comfortable witth it myself. (probably has to do with my gut!) LOL But that being said you are born nude, everyones got one, (or at least half has one and half has the other) I see no problem with it at all, anywhere. As most of you know we took the kids there and it couldn't have been less an issue. The girls would walk by and not even notice people. If your child makes a big deal about it than you have just laid your personal fears and hang ups squarely on your children. If a child grows up comfortable with their bodies and seeing others, thier self esteem will be miles higher. I was getting perturbed when I mentioned firefly because of the response it garnered. Every thread it was mentioned in some one would comment on the nudity. I think the whole beach should be that way for those who want to. More freedom, not less. this is a new millennium. Lets leave those puritan views about the natural body where they belong. in the past!

Well stated.

Never done it myself. Probably too many hang ups. But the puritanical objections (always prefaced by "I'm not a prude, but ....) under the guise of 'protecting the children' are IMO very misplaced.

Live and let live is my mantra. I respect those who prefer a swimsuit, just as I hope others will respect my choices As it turns out, we will still be at Firefly when the boardie party takes place on the 25th. I will make sure to keep my cover-up handy for quick dressing

I called the office today and got the same info as Georgia. If you have reservations they will honor your clothes optional choice. I was in a mild panic thinking my wife and I would be sitting around in wet icky bathing suits for 2 weeks.

Years back staying at hedonism I tried that nude beach thing, maybe its just me but when a attractive nude chick comes around I seem to be easily aroused, and found its easier to cover up a pitched tent, than just the pole, lmao.

My husband was in a panic too... he's not a fan of the wet icky bathing suit!

At Hedo most wouldn't blink an eye unless you actually grew to the size of a tent pole :-)

We've been to many nudist places and I think most guys will climatize quickly so the tent pole doesn't usually happen. Unless of course you start dreaming about being in your tent with that attractive nude chick

Firefly contacted me to say that the license for a nude beach was not granted to them, so the option was NOT available at Firefly. We now have to consider a different place to stay. We like Firefly but mostly for that particular option, so we now have to scramble up another place - gah! Jaybyrd - you might want to cancel your reservation if that option is a make it-break it option for you.
