The desert winds are blowing hard in early May at De Anza Springs , in Jacumba, California, inland and just three miles shy of the Mexican border.
The 600-acre property borders a 100,000-acre state park, and is surrounded by volcanic mountains and miles and miles of view. I packed light since it is a clothing-optional resort. I needed to find out what nude living is like.
Over the next five days, I met people who are devoted to nudist living from all over the west and who enjoy a day at nude beaches .
I put what I brought with me in the hotel room bureau…it did not include more than some socks and toiletries. And a fleece jacket. And shoes…three pairs. Plus three big bottles of sunscreen.
Without anything but my coat and Tevas, I walked out. This was my first half-assed attempt at being a nudist. There was just a little sun, but it was tempered by the persistent chilly winds.
I walked the desolate compound, not really ready yet for the Memorial Day holiday, in the distance huge volcanic boulders piled on each other. The road circled up with many parked RVs.
The parcels where each RVer had made the space their own were neatly decorated. One sign read “Bobby and Linda’s Bare Buns Getaway” and another “Clara’s Place.”
At one a giant 18-wheeler cab was parked. But no one, clothed or other, was around.
I met the owner of the truck cab later that night at a poker game where the players wore bathrobes. He and his wife were going to be buying a trailer and living as nudist nomads when they retire in a few months.
Saturday dawned clear and sunny, and the wind finally let up. The warm weather gave me a chance to sample the naked life, and I didn’t put on anything for the next two days.
It is incredibly liberating, and in a funny way, it is an experience like no other.
It is almost like going back to a simpler time, a time so long ago, when you didn’t have clothes, and you played around in the nude.
Not having pockets, cell phone or my keys was a pleasant change, it made life seem simpler and less tied down to my material world.
Dave Landman, who owns De Anza Springs with his wife, Helen, has the chiseled good looks and easy smile of somebody who used to be in the movies. He told me that if I hear a knock on the hotel room door, don’t answer it, it is probably a Mexican looking for water, on his way over the border.
The fence that separates the two countries isn’t even tall enough to stop anyone. It has a gap of about three feet high at the bottom. But there are many sensors and other electronic devices, so it wouldn’t take long to draw the attention of the BP
On the ride over from San Diego Airport, Kim, owner Dave Landman’s daughter, talked to me about life so near the border. “You always see border patrol picking up people and about three times a week we get Mexicans coming and trying to get into the resort. Sometimes they even try to blend in by taking off their clothes.” But they are easy to spot so this gambit hasn’t worked yet.
The town of Jacumba is the classic ‘blink and you’ll miss it,’ kind of burg, just a couple of shops and a dirt strip airport. The resort is set on 600 acres, with indoor and outdoor pools and a hot tub where most people congregate.
There are lots of activities, and just about everyone takes part. About 100 of the people here live full time at the resort in their motorhomes and RVs , and another 75-100 come out most weekends.
There are more than 44,000 dues-paying members of the American Association for Nude Recreation, (AANR), the lobbying group based in Kissimmee Florida .
Thousands more enjoy nudity at home or skinnydipping at a local nude swimming hole. But the people who vacation every weekend at De Anza and at the more than 100 other naturist clubs across the U.S. regard taking it all off much more seriously.
One woman at the resort said that the first thing she does when she gets home from work is to take off her bra. Nudists keep on going and prefer to get naked as soon as they shut the door to the outside world.
We drove to the nearby Golden Acorn casino for dinner, on a windy bluff right off the Interstate. A Mariachi band, eight strong, played trumpets and guitars noisily in the background. The staff was all dressed in Cinco de Mayo outfits, one manager wore a cartoonishly large sombrero.
Everyone recognized Dave and Helen, local business owners who employ almost as many people as the nearby casino. Neighbors are friendly and after seven years, nobody here much cares about the naked people down in the hollow.
I asked Dave about that highway up on the bluff, can those drivers look down and see the naked folks here? He said he had the highway department do a study and the answer was no, the cars you can see clearly up there can’t make anything out way down here.
Dave has strong feelings in defense of nudity. He said he’d much rather leave his kids with nudists than with a YMCA or church camp. Others echo Dave’s belief that nudists are among the most trustworthy and God-fearing people you could ever meet. They suffer a stereotype only because
Americans equate nudity with sex, and that simply is not the case. Sex with strangers isn’t a part of nudist resorts, though of course, you can find this at other “alternative adult’ resorts that are a universe away from a place like De Anza Springs.
The staff at De Anza has been trained to spot the signs of molesters and “creepy old guys,” or COGS, and if someone is identified as such by a young person or anyone else, the hook is quick. Like a bad Vaudeville performer, the gig is up, they are yanked out. And they never complain or make a fuss.
“We ask them to leave,” said Dave. Still, he’s only had to do this about six times since he opened the resort seven years ago. “If someone is looking a little too long, or leering, or making another person uncomfortable, then we step in,” he said.
“The staff has been trained by people who know about the tendencies, people who study child molester behavior have provided clues, tip-offs… these types don’t last more than 15 minutes here. We know what to do and we act.”
Another thing that’s banned at the club is cell phones with cameras. But of course, since out here in the desert there is no cell service, “anybody with a cell phone, that phone ends up in the bottom of the pool,” said Dave.

An office worker fell in love with a fitness instructor after meeting online, and now like any couple, they spend their time enjoying all their shared interests together… except they do it completely naked.
49-year-old Richard Opperman has been a naturist since his twenties. He decided to swiftly add this into conversation when first talking to his now wife, Grace, 51. Soon after finding out about Richard’s preferences for being naked, she got in on the act, too.
Grace, from Hampshire, who met Richard in 2008 recalled: ‘His way of telling me was by talking about a naked bike ride he’d done.
‘I thought, ‘You’ve done what?’ We’d been together for around a year when he told me. He asked if I’d want to do it too. At first, I declined, but, after thinking about it, I agreed to go on the naked bike ride with him, but only to go topless.
‘When I got to London, where it started, everyone was in the nude, so I actually felt like the odd one out, for not being completely naked.’
Now the couple, who married 2010, are both committed naturists – the practise of social nudity – and, as well as cycling in their birthday suits, they regularly strip off at specialist beaches, spas, and campsites all over the country.
Richard said: ‘After a while, you almost forget you’re in the nude. It becomes normal.’
Growing up in South Africa, he often sunbathed naked – finding that it helped ease insecurities he had about his physique.
‘I used to have a complex about my body, but the more I went naked, the more confident I felt about myself,’ says Richard. ‘It gives me that same free feeling I get when I exercise.’
After moving to the UK in 2005, Richard was concerned that the nudist community would be less active, because of the cold climate. But he soon discovered a naked bike ride in London and decided to take part – though he says he was nervous to begin with, given that he’d only ever sunbathed naked before.
He said: ‘As I stood around watching everyone take their clothes off, I thought, “I’d rather go home,” but I plucked up the courage to make myself do it, and it was brilliant.’
From there, Richard took part in more and more naked events. And, after meeting Grace on an online dating site, he suggested she, too, get involved.
The first time Grace ever went to a nudist beach with Richard was in 2014. She was worried about stripping off as she didn’t want to draw attention to herself.
However, by the third visit, she felt far more comfortable, figuring out that, underneath our clothes, ‘we’re all the same’.
‘We’ve all got the same bits, so there’s nothing to be shy about,’ she said. ‘It feels very free and liberating.’
Grace continued: ‘Surprisingly, Richard and I are often among the youngest at events we go to. It seems to be popular with older people, and it’s great to see people so happy and accepting of themselves.’
According to the couple, there have been a few objections from loved ones to them stripping off – and nobody has decided to follow suit.
Richard said: ‘Not everyone understands it, but they all think it’s a bit of a laugh.
‘We’re both from strict Catholic upbringings, so it’s not a hobby we’d share with our families, but if any friends wanted to give it a try they’d be welcome.
‘Naturism is something that’s becoming more and more popular across the world. Way more people do it than you’d think, but some are a little shy about admitting that. To anybody sceptical, I’d say just try it out before you make your mind up.’
Grace and Richard say that as well as improving their confidence, baring all has made them closer, explaining that stripping off has become a great ‘hobby’ to share.

‘We have such a laugh about it,’ explained Richard.
‘We’ve never had any criticism for what we do. It’s a very accepting community – it doesn’t matter what shape or size you are, there won’t be any judgement.’
He added: ‘If anyone ever was negative, I think it’d be people that have body complexes themselves.
‘For us, naturism is brilliant. You feel so free and empowered, and you should never let someone else’s judgement stop you from doing something you love.’

Probably not a good idea for a 16 year old boy to be nude with other nude family members...There could be incest. He obviously is aroused at the sight of his sister nude.
I like toi be nude sometimes, but not with my children.

My mom was always free about walking around nude. It taught me that there is a large difference between simply being naked and comfortable and sexual situations. Nude does not always equate sex. In turn, I'm not ashamed to be naked, even in mixed company. Naked is naked. Sex is sex. And as for the boy, he'll probably grow out of it once his hormones calm down and he realizes that there's a difference. You can't blame the boy really. As long as you know nothing inappropriate is going on, it should be fine, really. Erections can't always be helped. There's always that "no reason boner" as my boyfriend calls them

you are absolutly right that being nude infront of your boy is not right. specially when he is getting older. and specially when you also have a 14 year old doughter. Because it may creat some social problems in family. But my friend this is a free country and people can do what ever they want....
