The Nude Life

The First Wife and I will be spending a week later this week at our future home, Cypress Cove Nudist Resort and Spa, just south of Orlando. We’re headed there to relax and vacation, of course, but as our visit is during the coldest two weeks of the year, we have quite a few other plans in mind as well.

First and foremost, it is to get the wheels turning in a big way on our plans to move to Cypress Cove later this year and live there full-time. We have made contact with Realtors that represent sellers of homes in the resort, and we will be meeting with the resort General Manager for the mandatory in-person interview required of all prospective residents. Since our ‘nudist credentials’ are pretty much impeccable, and we have several friends from past nude cruises who already live at the Cove and can serve as ‘character witnesses’ for us, we think that will be little more than a formality.

We also hope to spend a good deal of time just ‘being’ at Cypress Cove during seven days and nights — to take in and participate in all of the resort’s activities, parties, special-interest group meetings, and general atmosphere of the community. Since we plan to make Cypress Cove our permanent home in just a few months, it is important that we start to get a feel for exactly all that entails.

Friends from a recent nude cruise have a home at the Cove and have given us some good tips on what to expect, and from everything they’ve said, we’re very eager to be part of The Nude Life at Cypress Cove. With over 200 full-time residents and many more visitors and RVers, Cypress Cove is a good-sized American neighborhood — with the notable distinction that all of its residents are committed nudists!

So expect a few blog posts from Cypress Cove during our stay, and perhaps a few photos if we can find anything worth sending along — and wish us good luck in staying warm while we are as nude as we can be during the coldest two weeks of the year in Orlando!

By the way, there are plenty of new posts online at The Nude Life Forum — have you checked in lately?

We call ourselves full-time nudists. But there’s full-time, and then there’s full-time. Right now, we are in the former category.
Meaning that we spend as much time as possible nude at home, with our nudist friends at weekend parties with our local club, asleep (of course!), and on as many vacations as we can manage to nudist resorts, nude cruises, and the like. Yet, we can’t live fully nude as we both still have jobs (for just another year), and have a circle of friends who aren’t nudists and don’t know that we are, and we don’t live in a nudist resort.

All of those things will be changing by this time next year (2008) if things go to plan. We aim to sell the house, quit our jobs, move to a nudist resort in Central Florida, and really become full-time nudists. Along the way, we’ll go ahead and spill the beans to our non-nudist friends — giving them either a lot to think about, a good laugh, or a totally astonished reaction — or maybe all three.

So this year is really our last living in the fully “textile world” of non-nudists, as we aim to join the ranks of the true full-time nudist world next year. We’ll be in good company, since we have already met so many great, friendly, interesting people along the way in our first 13 years or so of practicing social nudism.

We look forward to downsizing in a major way. We’ll get rid of about 95% of the clothes we own, of course, but also about 95% of the things we have spent 30 years accumulating in the way of furniture, gadgets, books, and an endless collection of knick-knacks, junk and the other effluvia of a typical American.

As we ease into it, both of us are excited. We’re ‘practicing’ as much as can be done by wearing nothing as much as possible when at home, and of course taking full advantage of the busy summer pool party schedule with our local club. If retirement as full-time nudists is only as much fun as we are having now being full-time home and social nudists while still working full-time and living in a textile community, we can’t wait to make the big move to “Full-Time Full-Time!“
