We did our best to throw some light upon all the aspects of people's nude lifestyle. Reports from nude beaches, movies shot at nudist parties, news from the life of nude resorts, professional and amateur photo depicting nudists of all ages.

While sitting at the pool on our last day, I got up to stretch my legs and while walking around found that they had a topless deck on the upper level by the tail. (Carnival does not promote this in their advertising but I think they have this on all of their boats. I have not heard about any other main stream cruise line that has this) after I returned to my seat I mentioned to my wife that there was a topless deck and asked if she was interested. She said,” Not really.”, and we continued on with our lounging. What I didn't know was that she was contemplating going and working up the nerve while we sat. Suddenly, after about 30 minutes she said, “Let's go”. I was shocked and to be honest a bit mixed about other men seeing her breasts and to be honest a little excited. Upon arriving on the deck we walked around and saw several other women topless whom I think gave her a little encouragement. We found a somewhat isolated corner and turned our chairs away toward the covered rails. She sat for a minute then said, “Here goes”. With that she pulled her top up over her head and let the sun shine where it had never shined before. She looked a bit sheepish at first but soon a big smile come over her face and she said, “I love this!” For the next hour we laid there, I spent most of my time looking around to see who was looking at her. The fact that every few minutes a different single guy would come up to the deck and wonder around in a pitiful attempt to convince everyone that they were looking for someone who they thought might be up there or to act like they simple wanted a higher vantage on which to see the ocean. Well as do all good things our time to head back down came and our cruise was over but the memory for both of us lived on and we began to think about how we could experience this again. The next opportunity came when we went to the Akumal Beach Resort in Akumal, Mexico. In this area of Mexico topless is accepted on the beach. This time we hit the beach and my wife wasted no time in join the other ~40% of the women that were topless. Again she loved it and spent as much time as possible at the beach. Still no opportunity for me yet. We now began to plan our get aways in places where at least some clothing optional was accepted. Finally, in April of this year we took a 5 day trip to South Beach. We spent 2 days at Haulover Beach. We were naked as soon as we put down the blankets. Wow! We both loved it! We went to Haulover 2 days out of the 5. The other days we spent on South Beach which is topless optional. On South Beach we walked for awhile each day to find other topless women before my wife was comfortable. She is not comfortable being the first but once we found them off came the top. The bad part of South Beach was that we saw a lot of young teenage boys walking by a gawking and one guy with a camera was standing by the water pretending to take pictures of the buildings behind the women. I tossed a towel over my wife's breasts and pointed for him to keep moving. He did. What an incredible feeling being nude in the sun is. We are limited in our opportunities (See our post, “Ideas from the Experienced Needed”). We hope to get to the Living Waters Resort in the next few months and can't wait.
