naturism - Everything To Sea

Ashamed to Admit You’re a Nudist?

Are you curious about nudism, but concerned that you’ll be judged negatively? Shame can be a powerful deterrent to nudism. At Everything To Sea, we believe that there’s a deeper purpose to shedding off clothes: Being naked is a way to practice self-acceptance. There comes a time when we have to question from where shame around nudity stems. Also, who or what perpetuates it… and why? Some of these answers are candidly expressed, in an article we found on British Naturism.

Actual Traveler Pics – Our Trip to Paradise

We just ran a trip in Paradise. It was, in fact, our first Naked Villa trip – we call it “The Naked Paradise Villa”. It was fabulous: exciting, sensual, full of variety, fun – and nude. At the end of the week-long experience, we asked our travelers, “What were some of your personal highlights?” Here’s what some of the guys told us…

– Taking part in a purification ritual under the waterfall –

– Rafting down the jungle river –

– Going up the mountain in a 4-wheel drive open vehicle, for the sunrise over the crater lake –

– Experiencing the multi-course tasting menu, at the underwater restaurant –

– The craft classes – making silver jewelry, and carving dicks from wood –

We always respect photo preferences, so you won’t see all the guys from it here. And also, some things that happened just can’t be shown on this blog. Still, we think you’ll get an idea of some of the fun we had. Enjoy this pictorial spread of The Naked Paradise Villa.

Shedding Shame: Naturism in a Conservative Upbringing

Everyone’s got their own story to tell. And we think it’s interesting that no matter how niche someone’s experience is, we can all identify with at least a few aspects. In this blog post, we’d like to share a story originally published on AlmostWild.com. It’s the story of a young man who grew up in a conservative, evangelical home in a small farming town and struggled with his body image and sexual orientation. And like so many of us, he found solace in naturism. Read more from a proud gay naturist, below.

We like Nudists, Voyeurists, and Exhibitionists. We don’t like Seeists.

What’s your insecurity? More than likely, a body part comes to mind. Hairline. Nose. Skin blemishes. Balls. It’s hard not to succumb to the negative emotions around our insecurities, and let them stop us from living life fully. Some people practice nudism in rebellion against the arbitrary societal assignment of “good” versus “bad” appearance. Screw all the bullshit of a good versus a bad stomach – a body is a body is a body. And all men’s bodies are welcome on Everything To Sea trips. We love the way this article from AlmostWild.com goes further into this topic.

Top Tips for Nude Hiking Legally (And Illegally)

“Freehiking” is the modern term for the act of hiking or walking in nature while naked. For this week’s blog post, we’d like to share an excerpt from an article on PlanetNude.substack.com. It outlines the best practices for trekking naked in nature – legally and illegally. The original article contains a disclaimer, and we’d like to add our two cents: While we enjoy nude activities like freehiking, we don’t condone illegal activity and we believe that nudity, even in settings where it’s allowed, should be practiced mindfully.

Addicted to Nudism: An Account from a Lifelong Nudist

We recently came across this post from a blog titled, “Buying Time: An Exciting Adventure in Early Retirement.” It’s a vulnerable and personal story from a young retiree named Max, who’s made himself a beautiful nude life, alone in the countryside. The post covers his struggle with loneliness, as he has chosen nudism without the support of his friends and community. We occasionally hear these kinds of stories, and that’s why we feel it’s so important to provide a safe space for men to be nude together. If you relate to any of his experiences, let us know in the Comment section.

Your Dream Relationship Awaits You

Get Your Dream Relationship by Setting Boundaries

If you’ve gone through our website, you know that our most unique offering (in fact, we’re the only company in the world that offers this!) is Your Private Journey. So hopefully, you’ve heard about Your Private Journey. Now, what about Your Dream Relationship? In this post, we discuss something we can’t set up for you: this one, you’ve got to do yourself. Read on, for tips on how to get Your Dream Relationship.

The fact is, boundaries are essential in healthy partnerships. And we each have our own set of boundaries – whether we’re fully conscious of them or not. For example, “I need you to be on time for our date night,” or, “I don’t want to be touched there.” When boundaries are crossed in relationships, it’s normal to feel frustrated, disappointed, or sad. For many, it’s a great challenge to actually state boundaries out loud due to fear of judgement, abandonment, or rejection. But people aren’t mind readers, and that’s why rules and boundaries must be made explicit – and the sooner, the better. In this article, we’re going to dive into how to set boundaries, especially when it comes to open relationships.

Are You Decent?

A look at the curious ways the English language deals with nudity.

We are big language nerds over here at Everything To Sea. We love sharing and comparing the nuances and idiosyncrasies that exist in English versus other languages. In fact, altogether our team can speak 8 different languages, including German, French, Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Javanese, and English. We couldn’t resist sharing excerpts from a blog written by Paul Rousse, editor of Naturist Travel/H&E Naturist. He takes a deep dive into the various ways that people have used the English language to describe nudity, from the coarse and comical to the polished and old-fashioned.

There’s a Decades-Old Boner War Raging Inside Nudist Camps

A boner war may be raging in nudist camps, but with Everything To Sea trips, the only thing raging might be boners themselves. Woops – now we’re just being “cheeky.” Not that there’s anything wrong with ass cheeks (or assholes; we like them on our trips, too! We mean, the body part… not some dick you just met.) Wait, did you just meet up with… some dick?

Living Life in the Buff: It’s Not as Hard as You Might Think

Some men may find it a rare treat to be able to get naked with others. Vacations are usually when people drop their drawers to swim or visit a naturist resort. However, why does it have to be a rare occasion? We found this article, “Living Naked Daily” on nudeandhappy.com, which shares ways to get naked more often.

Is Your Mind Keeping Your Body From Getting Naked?
