It is a shame that nudist space members cannot search for friends in London, isn't it?



Ok, It is an American site and 90% of that nation think England is in Alaska. So how would they know that London IS a county, NOT part of Surrey, Middlesex, Kent & Essex; much like D.C is NOT in Maryland or Virginia!



This is what has caused most of the war and conflict in the world; the inability of Joe Public in the US to comprehend anything culturally outside his own farting radius.



He thinks "international relations" are his cousins in Canada!



For damnedsake, US, you are the palliest guys in the world, but you are so blinkered! Get out a bit more!



You ever heard of "London" in geography at school?

To a certain extent you guys tee me off with your persecution complex. So single males are excluded from admittedly a large number of "family" sun clubs. Just how really hard done by are you? Haven't you guys got any alternatives? Yes you have! Is your entire naturist life destroyed by this discrimination? No!



I am, like you, hit by the single male syndrome but for me, alone, it is terminal. Yet, I am hardly male, biologically neuter, a victim of your rule that shouldn't even apply to me. Now THAT is discrimination.



I have been begging, pleading and grovelling unsuccessfully for over a year to be allowed on to one of these naturist clubs' waiting list, let alone through the door, but I am still outcast because I am told there are 12, or 15, or 20 single males waiting and they are not taking any more.



But, on the fate of my soul, I swear that not one of you waiting single males' need for sunclub membership is as desperate as mine.



You see, if you are genuine single males, you have a sexual side, like everyone in the country bar me. If you cannot get into the sunclubs, or even if you can, there are always Eureka's hedonist parties, the group sessions at Rios or the body-elitist jaunts at naked clubs. Not for me! I have tried. I don't fit in! I cannot even comfortably visit Brighton Beach, what with the sexual cavorting of the minority and the stabbing glares of the rest. For me it is a true naturist environment or nothing! Right now it is nothing!



You wouldn't know what that means. While you, poor souls, are forced to tolerate the swingers parties and group sessions at the hedonist clubs I am stuck at home, nowhere to go. Because you are between me and my opiate, the naturist clubs, and complaining about it! They are just an extra to you; you don't really need them at all!



Look, guys, here is an analogy. For the past three weeks I have had ligament injuries which have made it difficult to walk without a stick. However, whenever I boarded a bus and the disabled seats were occupied by fit people, they always surrendered their seat. Why? Because they could easily stand, where I needed the seat and was unable to stand.



It was then that I realised, for all my usual fitness, how my anatomy really disables me socially. What is happening is a file of you single males are sprawled over the invalid seats on the sunclub waiting lists, when you could as easily stand at Eureka, Rios, Starkers, events where biologically I cannot stand for myself. You cry foul, yet you are wantonly hogging the seat I need to simply survive!



So why are you the victims?



You are not the ones effectively excluded from naturism because a perfectly eligible single male, who in reality has the world at his feet and when it is hardly a matter of life and death to him, is holding the ticket without which I have no naturist hope at all.



It is not your fault. I know it is not deliberate. But you really have nothing to gip about!



Being singled out and shut out is only really a tragedy if the victim has nowhere else to go!



Hugs, Will

I am physically challenged in a way that is eyecatching when naked. You would never know until I stripped. As a penile agenetic I was born devoid of genitalia and am visually & metabolically neuter despite being hormonally male. So I am asexual and sex plays little part in my psyche. I am here for naturist escape. That, not body-elitism, is what naturism is about.



Of course uniqueness is not always a treasure, so I hid away all my life until one day I just decided to go over the wall. I wnadered on to a nudist beach to tackle it head-on. To my surprise, everybody in the naturist world bar a xenophobic few welcomed me and made me feel I belonged. If they thought of me as different, which of course I am, their questions were invariably motivated my interest and never patronising. Even the kids are cool. Now all my hangups are cast off with my clothes. I wish I had done it years ago.



Predictably I field more than a fair share of abuse and discrimination. People have to accept me as I am. If you are in any way offended by my pictures or physique, then you have to ask yourself why? After all I am just another guy on a beach!

I was very privileged to be a part of this on Saturday 26th April on a hillside in the wilds of Sussex.

Some 250 men and women of all ages, races, shapes and sizes joined together as one in the cause of Trinny and Suzannah's landmark ITV production. No gimmick, it is destined to spread the word of nudism.

Influenced by the work of Stephen Tunick, a sculpture was carved out of individual nude bodies forming a whole, metamorphosing from the definitive British male to the model British female. Do not misunderstand this, there was no elitism here, no breathless leer towards the non-existent fantasy world of the ideal and the machismo; no prizes for hung men or hourglass women.

It was to universal acclaim when the blueprints for these sculptures were announced. A 50-something man who has conquered the challenge of nature by swimming the channel 20 times. Then, a person who touched and humbled me, Michelle Chapman, debilitated from childhood by alopoecia, who helped set up internet platforms to bring together a world of sufferers and promote the cause on a public stage, then to establish a wig-design outfit that has changed the life of thousands. I am so privileged to have made a friend of her and I only wish I were as strong.

Rehearsals worked like the farms mirroring us on the surrounding hills, collies of marshalls rounding lost sheep over the hillside into their respective pens. One of the first there, my corral was the right chest, inspiring me to strut about claiming to be a right tit. The final naked shoot was done from a helicopter, fusing the 250 individuals into one conglomerate mass of pre-summer pink on the verdant backdrop. It reminded us that if a group made up of English, Scots, Welsh, Irish, Caribbeans, Africans, French, other Europeans etc goes to make up the Great British Body, then it does likewise for the Great British nation. This is why the word "great" is still relevant.

When this is broadcast in early June on primetime ITV, a nation drawn to the television in the lurid hope of catching their dream hunks and babes posing before the camera will be humbled and then in turn excited by the vision of a collection of ordinary joes, like themselves, relaxed and easy with its clothes off. In effect Trinny and Suzannah will have done more to further nudist living in this country than any before them.
