Many people may
consider
Spring Break to
be a trivial occurrence, just a big party by
students who have nothing better to do with their
time and money. But this is NOT SO! Spring Break
actually is an established cultural tradition
among college students, an annual event with its
own sets of rituals, a piece of 20th century
Americana. Some argue that Spring Break goes back
farther and deeper than that--that it is the
modern manifestation of an age-old rite in which
young people celebrate the return of the Spring.
Thus, those who partake in Spring Break are
actually adding their touch to the annals of the
Spring Break tradition. The following is a brief
recap of the history of Spring Break to provide
current-day participants with an understanding of
the footsteps in which they follow.
Some of the elements of the Spring Break tradition
also go way back in the customs of American
college students. Traveling to the coast or to the
site of a mineral spring as a restorative cure for
the rigors of academic life was common among the
well-to-do set of American college students since
the 19th century (if not earlier).
Nude Beach or
Nudist Resort
Which should you choose for your first nude
recreation experience, a nude beach, or, a nudist
resort? Take some advice from a couple who gave
nude recreation a try when they were in their
50's. A first class nudist or clothing optional
resort is the only way to see if nude recreation
is for you. Why is that? Nudist resorts are safe,
clean, managed places. The guests are on their
best behavior. You'll also find them to be
friendly and not putting on airs. No one is going
to pester you. There will be planned activities
for those who want to socialize, but don't feel
compelled to participate. Many nudist resorts
compare with any 4 resort, while others offer a
nude recreation experience in rural natural
settings.
Many
resorts are clothing optional and are perfect for
people who just aren't sure about being nude in
front of other people. You can stay clothed at
these resorts and no one will make you feel
uncomfortable for doing so. Over the years, many
people have written to tell us that going to a
clothing optional resort was what allowed them to
finally find the freedom they had dreamed about
but were afraid to try.
Now, let's look at nude beaches. First of
all there are only a few that are truly legal in
the United States. Legal means the beach is
designated as a nude beach. That means no threat
of arrest or harassment by the authorities.
Lifeguards may be on duty during the busy season
and there may be enforcement patrols to insure
that there is no unruly or offensive behavior.
Another group of nude beaches are the ones where
nude use is accepted but not protected by the law.
Then there is the last group of beaches where
people will sometimes go nude but always run the
risk of the authorities deciding to sweep the area
and arrest or cite any people who are nude. Please
don't get me wrong. We love going to a nude beach.
You just have to do some research before you go.
