    So, our HM destination has an 'au natruale' island. Absolutely no clothing allowed. (so not going just topless). would you do it?

    I am a pretty shy person when it comes to nudity, and don't think I could...but at the same time... it's our honeymoon and why not? torn!

    @chittychittybanebane:

     

    I would say maybe! FI and I haven't done and may not ever do anything like this, BUT we are a really fun couple! So after a bottle (maybe a few) of wine, this may be a good idea! That being said, I dig that you are even considering it! We only live once you know, and if you aren't hirting anyone, and you enjoy it, then by all means do it! You'll be telling your gandkids about it (okay maybe not) :)

    @TheJeanses2012: LOL. FH really wants to do it- because he says we will never see these people again, and when will we ever get a chance to do something like this. Apparently (in the reviews), it states it is not awkward at all and actually really freeing and fun. lol- I am SURE it is freeing!

    I put 'no way' but not because I'm shy.  Yes the human body is 'natural' but it doesn't mean that I need to share it with everyone around.  It takes away the intimacy that nudity creates between you and your loved one, and even with yourself.  If your letting it all hang out, it isn't very special anymore.

    Plus I don't want to see others naked. Yuck.

    Haha are you going to the same place we honeymooned? Our resort had an au naturale island as well. We didn't end up going (were having too much fun doing everything else and didn't get the chance) but a lot of people seemed to enjoy it. There seemed to be some little private zones if you wanted to do it but not be around a lot of people. When (because it was so awesome there we will go back) we go back we will make the time to try it out.

    I think we would do it since we cant turn down an adventure. No one would know us, and of couse we would have a few drinks before lol. I say why not just try it.

    I've been to topless beaches but never an all nude beach.  I'd totally do it.  I've never had issues being naked, (probably comes from being in dance and theatre my whole life where we had to change in front of tons of people back stage), and actually think it's so freeing.  

    Plus I'd love to get an even tan and experience swimming naked in the ocean.  Don't know if FI I would it though.  I imagine it's a lot more awkward for guys with thier junk flopping all over the place.  haha

    i would do it (i think!) but definitely would need the drinks first!!!!

    ETA: oh, and i would only even consider this on an island in another country where there was ZERO chance of actually seeing anyone i know or might see again!!

    We probably would try it out.  I'm not shy about my body and we'd never see those people again.  I bet it would be fun!

    DH and I have both been streaking before so a nude beach seems much more calm than that!

    Honestly..and this is going to sound pretty gross..but I can't imagine seeing an icky wrinkly old man or woman naked with saggy "you know whats"..(because guaranteed you will find people of all sizes and ages) so although I wouldn't mind being naked (no tanning lines!!)..I wouldn't enjoy seeing others naked...

    Haha my brother did a job at a 'au natural' location awhile back and wasn't aware of the fact that they weren't all hot young chicks. He was in for a surprise haha.

    I couldn't do it - but that's because I am not a fan of seeing tons of other naked people. *shudders at the thought of old men*

    I wouldnt think twice about going topless - especially on a tropical island somewhere but fully naked...i dont know -  though swimming in the ocean would be fantastic. so...topless, yes, fully naked, probably not.

    Haha I put the "heck yea" option, although in reality I'm sure I'd be very shy about it. Our honeymoon resort has some topless areas I think, and I'm definitely planning on trying that out.

    I figure, when in Rome (or in the tropics). If no one is ever going to see you again and it seems "normal" where you're going to be, then go for it. It might even be liberating!

    Maybe have some drinks, just in case ;-)

    There's a nudist hotel in Riviera Maya.  We walked down the beach to the resort (there were HUGE signs warning of nudity and not making an ass of yourself if you choose to enter the property), and once we got there I went topless.  There were tons of people completely naked, and to be honest, it's not a big deal.  Group mentality is a strong force.  People with clothes on would look weird in a sea of skin. 

    I'd absolutely go.  Honestly no one cares what you look like, it's not some meat market where everyone's drooling over everyone else.

    @Oneeleven: lol, I do too trust me! But I may be able to do without them for a few hours... I think it will really depend on how many bahama mamas I drink & how comfortable I am with the people at the resort. We will see.

    I wouldn't, but it's not about being shy or even about not wanting to flash it about... but I've been having so much fun collecting bikinis for our honeymoon.

    We are staying in a "private pool villa" at one of the hotels and I fully intend to be naked for most of that week!

    I did the topless thing while on vacation once. I think it would be fun to not have to wear anything and not worry about it. I'd give it a go for sure.

    And since everyone else is also not wearing clothes it would be a comfortable situation.

    I went topless at a topless beach, I don't know if I could do full on nudity because the thought of sitting down where someone else's bare parts have been just icks me out. I hover at public toilets, or put down toilet paper/seat cover. Can someone tell me how the seating situation is at a nude resort? The flag looks like it could be the Jamaican one, is this in Jamaica? And the little island's coast looks all rocky, like it is lacking of any actual "beach" with sand and stuff, so would you just be walking around and sipping drinks?

    I have been to "clothing optional" type places a couple of times, and it wasn't for me. I constantly felt oggled by creepy old men.  There were very few people who were youngish.  I remember laying on a raft floating in the sea when I look up and this old man is standing on a rock above me staring down at me. UGH! However, that may not be what your experience would be like, but just the thought of a nude beach or resort totally creeps me out now. So I voted No Way! (Kudos for you though, for exploring the idea!)
