It was a beautiful sunny September day, when I went for the first time to a clothing optional hot spring.
I love being naked around the house. In fact, I am nude all day and all night long at home and have always enjoyed spending time naked with some of my best friends. That being said, a certain excitement overwhelmed me when a nudie-friend of mine invited me alongside other nudie-friends (who I met on JustNudism.Net) to spend a day out in a “clothing-optional” hot springs resort. I was pleasantly surprised by the invitation and, naturally, accepted almost instantaneously.
My Excitement After the Invitation
I had never been naked outside, so the idea of being allowed to do that felt very breathtaking and thrilling. That was the first occasion in which I spent time with naked strangers in a place where we could all relax together and share our stories. To me, this was something I yearned to do my entire life, but was never allowed the opportunity. I know it may sound underwhelming to some people that this is an absolute highlight in my life, but I have been dreaming day and night of such an occasion. A time when like minded individuals can meet and finally see each other in a pure and beautiful light, with neither scrutiny nor bullying. I have always felt this pressure deep in my heart, that I would always be suppressed by others. This was a feeling I had since childhood, but I am incredibly excited to tell you about a memory where all this pressure evaporated.
The Journey to the Hot Springs
At first, getting to the resort felt like traversing a maze. We naturally got lost and had to call for help. For a while it felt like this trip had to be cancelled, and luckily, our backup knew how to get through to the location without casualties. I hope that, in the future, more places become more open-minded, it feels like a chore to relax, Anyways! We were there at last! When we got there, I just couldn’t believe my own eyes. It wasn’t a large resort, and the pool was small, but it oozed “relaxation.” The pool water was so clear, and the resort felt very vibrant. The entire place was lit up by the Sun, yet there were places to hide away from the Sun everywhere, as if I was provided the choice of which I would rather be under. I have been to local pools in the past, but never a single pool looked this clean. The sun was so bright that I could always spot my own reflection in the water. A mirror was not necessary for reflection here, in more ways than one. That being said, the real beauty of the resort wasn’t in its features but rather in its visitors.

The Faces of the Resort
A few people were around, many of which I never met before. Some sat around and talked, while others felt most comfortable in the pool. Everyone looked so relaxed and happy, whether they were sitting, walking around, or swimming. I felt reunited with my humanity. It looked like a sample of a big community that I always dreamed of being a part of. A community free of shape, color, or ethnicity. A community that embraces the beauty of our skins. A community whose uniform fits any person, at any time, and at any place. A community with nothing to hide or be shy of. No barriers, no layers, no differences, just the real and authentic versions of ourselves.
There must have been around twenty of us, all naked. I mean, who wants to wear clothes in a clothes-optional place anyways. We sat and talked for a long time. Each of us had a story to share. My friend from Wisconsin dropped by as well, much to my shock. We talked together for a long time, and I told her a little about my life. She was surprised to know I was from the Middle East; I had never told her that before. She gifted me some homemade jam, grape tomato, and cantaloupe. My, was the jam good, too. I must have eaten the whole jar myself. We both love food and naturally had long conversations about it. We then tried to swim together. I’m no good at swimming, I can barely float on my own back and always feel terrified when doing so. She helped me get the hang of it a little bit, terrified as I was. After that, we sat down in the lounge and had more time to chat.
A Memory to Last a Lifetime
Before leaving, I wanted to take a picture with my new besties and friends. An occasion like this, while small, felt momentous. We all gathered around for the picture, but unfortunately, the resort only allowed pictures away from the pool, but we didn’t mind that — I had a lovely time and was not about to let a technicality ruin my day. We took our pictures and said our farewells, but we all knew we shared a great time together. Ever since then, I’ve had a great sense of appreciation for those who gave me the courage to step outside of my own house feeling the liberty that I, and everyone in this world, deserve. I hope that more people feel more courageous after reading this and start expanding their horizons. That was a wonderful day, and I can’t wait to do it again with all my friends, new and old!
