The first time I went to a naturist beach was quite an experience. My ex and I had been toying with the idea of going to Studland beach for some time. We didn't live far away and both enjoyed being naked at home. So about 10years ago on one hot summers day we decided to go to Studland and see what naturism was like for ourselves. We were very aprehensive on the ferry going over from Sandbanks. It was quite a walk from the road to the beach over the heathland. We didnt say a lot to each other but we each knew what the other was thinking. We came up to the sign that read "Naturists may be seen beyond this point point" and they wern't wrong, for in the distance on the top of the dunes were what could only be described as "Human Meerkats". Naked men just stood with arms folded looking around. We looked at each other in amazement, but continued onto the beach where we saw lots of couples and families naked and enjoying the sun. We found ourselves a spot and laid down the towels. My wife took no time in getting naked as she only had a lightweight summer dress on, but I was a bit more hessitant. It was going through my mind, what would happen if things started to stir. I sat for a while just looking around but eventually took the plunge and got naked. What a great feeling it was being naked in public for the first time. Now my ex had quite a few tattoo's that were being observed by people walking past, and one man stopped to admire them and introdused himself. Well I wasn't sure where to look as his thing was just dangling in front of me, my ex had no trouble talking to him and decided to stand up to chat. This seemed a good idea as we were able to make eye contact. he told us he had been coming to Studland for years and what a good enviroment it was. He made us feel right at ease. There were loads of people just having fun, sunbathing, drinking,& playing games, but occasionally going into the sea for what was obviously more than a dip especially for the drinkers, but everybody took it in there stride. Well that for us was the begining of 10 wonderful years of naturism.
