113.0. "Indoor Naturists" by BSS::RJONES () Mon Sep 26 1988 19:01

During a recent visit to a Doctor's office I happened to notice a poster/chart
defining skin types and the relative likelihood of sunburn to each.  These
ranged from very fair skin which never tans and always burns, to consistently
darker skin that always tans and almost never burns.  Of course, most people
fall somewhere in between, and sunscreens with high SPFs help a good deal.

But, my question is this:  What does one do if one wishes to enjoy Naturist
activities, but is extremely sensitive to the sun?

Are there any activities for "Indoor Naturists"?

Richard

P.S.  Yes, I know that some will not believe I would even ask such a
question, but I know that if I thought of it, someone else in read-only
mode is thinking it, also.

    I believe that The New England Naturists Association (NENA) sponsor
    some indoor events, such as a night at some local pool (like the
    YMCA or something like that).  I've never joined NENA so I gone
    to any of those events.  You have to write to NENA (see the other
    notes) or ask one of the NENA members about that.
    
    Too bad someone doesn't organize a party over here like the one
    Judy had at Valley View....

Well....what we used to do with another couple who we have since drifted away 
from was:

	Come over for dinner, fix and eat in the nude...it was real 
		fun delegating the job of who's turn it was to go 
		outside and turn the meat over that was on the grill! :-)
	Have conversations or listen to music
	Played cards (or just about any board game would do)
	
Another couple we are close friends with go to the local hot tubs and "get 
nude" with us.

Gosh, I wish our dream hot tub and TALL fence was in our backyard.  We could
have everyone over, day or night!

I slather the #15 or better lotion on thick...but sometimes that doesn't even
work.  (like this last weekend)  My parents both have had skin cancer so I am
trying to pay particular attention to this.

Everyone should be given a towel to sit on while nuding in the house.  This 
is not only for sanitary purposes but think where someone has been that wore
the bluejeans that sat on the chair before you! :-)  And you just took a 
shower! ;-)

113.4Outdoors? No ProblemTEMPE1::GAFFNEYPaulTue Sep 27 1988 16:049
    Most resorts have planned shady areas for sun sensitive or people
    who have had to much sun for the day.  At beaches people bring beach
    umbrellas.  Although I once watched a red headed and very white
    women come out for the first day of the season, put baby oil on,
    and stay out in the AZ. sun for 5 hrs. and not get burned!  Makes
    me believe in magic.

113.5Clothed with the shade?RETORT::GOODRICHTaking a long vacationWed Sep 28 1988 13:578
    I bet there are a lot of us that prefer being nude but are
    not sunbathers. I am not sure why "clothed with the sun"
    is assumed.
    
    There are some nice campgrounds that are heavily wooded, try
    them out!
