South Coast Nudists’ $2 Bill Campaign

This makes me want to grab some $2 bills, shed my top and bask in the sun. Good job John.

Gosh, the IV Drip has been handing out $2 bills for years. $1 coins and $0.50 pieces too!

Why can men expose their nipples in public,
but women cannot?

"Why can men expose their nipples in public,
but women cannot?"

Because we live in a culture where a woman can become a celebrity by posing naked in front of the camera (Paris Hilton comes to mind...then there's the Pamela Anderson sex tape) but if these same women simply go for a swim in the buff they get fined or even arrested.

I am really happy that people are working together to support nude sunbathing at the beaches. There are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe. We are each an infinitesimally small creature within it. Certainly, fining and jailing these creatures for not hiding their bodies seems ludicrous. There is no other plant or animal on the planet that behaves in such a manner. We could learn a lot from the rest of nature and be set free from some of our fears and insecurities in the process.

When God made man and woman he looked at them and said, "It is good!" Why must we continue to be ashamed of what our Creator has overwhelmingly approved? We, as a society, insult God and perpetuate the diservice to this wonderful creation by continuing to view the naked body as shameful, sinful, sexual and lewd. Bates Beach is an opportunity to get back to Eden!

Nude beaches, with signage to warn the "sensitive", should be a standard use of state beaches all along the CA coast. The signs will allow those offended to select another beach.

The greatest resistance to nude beaches comes from those industries profiting from the "shame" of expoure. Strip clubs, pornographers, mens magazine publishers, and churches want to keep nudity "sinful". It's profitable for all of them, and gives the churches another "vice" to combat.

A first step in California should be topless gender equality. There is no reason a woman should not be able to bare her chest in any situation a male can. The State of New York recognized this simple equality issue in 1992...and women now have the right to go topless everywhere a man might. Some choose to go topless, and most don't. But, the point is they all have the right to do so.

I used to to to Bates Beach in college. It was just fun in the sun. It should be retained as a nude beach. It's a great feature of the Santa Barbara area.

Isn't it interesting how neighbors complained about nude sunbathers prompting the authorities to crack down on nudity on the beach, but no one seems to be doing anything about drug dealers and perverts on the beach? People's priorities are hopelessly mixed up, aren't they?

It was free to browse http://www.naturistspace.org/, and I had no intention of becoming a paying member until I saw Him! The browsing process was easy, and almost instantly there on my screen were available men in my area, and in my age group. His photograph and profile was the very first one, and I was hooked. Because I wasn't a member all I could do was send him a wink, which I did. Then I closed out of the site and tried to find him on my own, by every ISP I could think of. That didn't work. Never had I paid for a membership to any dating site, so I asked myself: Did I want to meet this man more than anyone else, and more than anything; and,Was naturistspace.org a safe place? I went back into naturistspace.org and looked at his photograph again, read his profile again, then read the details on becoming a member. Because I would be using my charge card, security was very important to me. After reading the agreements, and realizing that the agreements were to protect me too, I became a paying member.I immediately sent him an email, telling him I joined for the sole purpose of meeting him. He emailed me back, saying he'd like to meet me too. I emailed him my telephone number. He called me right away. It was a Thursday, and invited me to brunch that coming Sunday after church. Saturday he called me back and said he couldn't wait for the next day for us to meet, and invited me to dinner for that Saturday evening. I was so very thrilled and could hardly wait to meet him, this man who had captured my heart simply by virtue of his photograph and profile in the naturistspace.org site.Saturday night. A knock on my door. There he was, the most beautiful man in the world to me. He hugged me and I hugged him right back, not wanting to let go. Dinner was wonderful and at a very beautiful place, and he made me feel like a Princess. Amongst other things, we talked about the naturistspace.org site and how thankful we were to find each other; how thankful we were for the site. The next day he came over to my place and we made breakfast together. He likes to cook! The next evening he came for dinner, and we've been with each for dinner every evening since then. He has a work commitment to a friend for one year's time so our time together is in the evenings, but we speak to each other throughout each day. We've made plans for our future together. He'll be meeting my family this weekend, and I'll be meeting his family within the next two months. His family lives out of state, but he has told them about me. This man, this wonderful man, no matter what my hair looks like or my clothes look like or what my dinners taste like, he always makes me feel so very special, which to him I know I am. He is my everything; he is the full and complete everything I've always prayed for. We are each other's wine and roses, each other's sweetness and moonlight and love songs, and I know that we were brought together by a higher power who's vessel was naturistspace.org.
