I haven’t been to Hawaii but this is not the overly populated with tourists and neon environment that I have seen too much of. Surfing nude, whales jumping in a beautiful ocean looks like heaven to me. I’m not entirely giving my stamp of approval to filming people nude on the beach almost certainly without their consent, but it’s not used in a gratuitous way.

There is a new facebook group, founded by a guy here in Sydney who clearly feels the same as I do about the current state of nude beaches here. There is a growing number of people not going nude on our nude beaches. Granted, my favourite one isn’t a legal nude beach and has even been raided by the police recently, but why do people wearing swimwear want to go to a nude beach anyway?
The group, “It’s a Nude Beach, Nude Up or Go Home!” is hoping to encourage a large number of Sydney nudists and supporters to join its ranks so that when we have the numbers we can have what I guess is a “Nude In”. That is, we’d all hit the designated beach and all get nude taking up all the space and making the clothed members feel out of place, instead of them being in the majority which feels like a real possibility.
Some might not see this as important, but one of Sydney’s most famous nude beaches, Lady Jane, is under threat of having it’s status revoked, and La Perouse as I said was raided recently by police. What’s wrong with people enjoying the sunshine without clothes?
Tonight a mate and I are going skinnydipping again in a spot that I love to go to for these kind of occasions. This weekend I’m doing my usual nude beach with a new nude friend on Saturday and then another friend is taking me to a new place that sounds really nice. It’s a nude beach with spectacular views and hardly anyone else there. I’m looking forward to exploring it and chatting and getting to know new nude buddies.
Tuesday is Australia Day here in Australia and I’m off to yet another nude beach down in the Royal National Park. It’s a hell of a hike back up the hill at the end of the day but it’s a really nice beach.
This week at work has been one of the worst I’ve had in ages. Not the most stressful but one of the longest and busiest and somehow each day felt like 36 hours and the week seemed like 12 days. Thus I was tooooooo tired and emotionally exhausted to post last night when I got home and it would have been a string of gibberish anyway. Then when I went to bed I couldn’t switch off and actually get to sleep. You could say I slept like a baby, but a real one, awake every two hours, emotional and over tired. I did manage to stop short of crying and soiling myself though which is a plus.
Today has turned out bright and sunny and warm so I will be naked on the beach in a little over an hour I predict. Tomorrow’s weather isn’t forecast as being so good but we’ll see what happens. Let’s see if I can’t find something interesting to write about by this afternoon. I have two different catch ups planned for this weekend with guys I’ve met on Grindr or Manhunt but expectations are low and it’s all nice and relaxed.
Hi everyone, I’m so sorry about the delays but as yet our internet provider at home still hasn’t come up with any answers for us which is pissing me off no end. So this post comes to you from my office where I am stuck in a very busy week trying to get urgent stuff done before we close for a couple of weeks over the Christmas period.
To update you all on stuff. Hot Nudie and I are no longer dating. A couple of factors were at play, for me anyway and I decided I think we’d be better as friends. It’s a shame but I’m learning that my gut instinct is quite often right these days and when I ignore it I end up burnt badly, like with the American a few years ago.
Our house doesn’t feel like a home at the moment. Flatmate has a couple of friends staying with us from the U.K. who are out here for about 6 months and all they do is sit around the house ALL day. If you arrived from a cold and wet country, for 6 months in a sunny and warm country, don’t you think you’d get off your arse and explore it? Even if it were out of courtesy to not be underfoot where you are staying? Apparently not. My flatmate is a very neat and clean person and this (straight) couple have spread their stuff over the entire living area. Laptops, sunglasses, phones, phone chargers, change, clothes, bags. You name it, we’re tripping over it. It’s going to be a close call whether the friendship between my flatmate and these two survives the two more days (total of 11) they are here.
I went to the nude beach with a mate who is living here from Canada yesterday. We were there for 3 hours and the poor sod didn’t drink any water and missed several spots on his (quite pale) skin with sunscreen despite my offers to put it on his back. He texted me this morning saying he’d had sun stroke last night, and was very ill and now has blisters on his back. Please, if you are going in the sun in Australia, be very very careful. We have a hole in the Ozone layer and very harsh sun.
Yesterday morning (Sunday) I packed up and left my parents place fairly early, around 9.30 or so and headed back up north. I didn’t go all the way through to Sydney but went up the beautiful coast road and stopped just near the south entrance to the Royal National Park. It’s a steep 20 minute walk down the hill to the lovely Werrong nude beach, which is fine on the way down but a bit of a bitch to get back up after relaxing in the sunshine all day.
I figured that since I was there at 10 am starting my walk, no one would be finishing their beach visit that early with such a hike, most people go for at least a few hours. So, I stripped off once I got past the sign that says nude beach ahead, as there is no other option on that trail and anyone going there would be nudies. Almost straight away I noticed a straight couple coming up the hill. I don’t like making anyone uncomfortable so I put my shorts on quickly. As soon as they were out of sight, off came the shorts again. It was so nice on such a warm day to hike down the trail completely naked apart from shoes. I wasn’t brave enough to walk back up nude though. I have done it once before but it was a very overcast day and didn’t think anyone would be coming down.
This happened just recently on Bondi Beach. It’s one of the first flash mob videos I’ve seen come out of Australia. I know there have been others, but I haven’t come across them. It looks like so much fun!
Last sunday saw a beautifully balmy day in Sydney. It reached about 25 degrees Celsius and blue sky as far as you could see. So two friends and I headed off to the nude beach for a few hours and soaked up some sun. I kinda braved the water briefly but that didn’t last long. It is still officially winter after all and the water was bloody cold and not ideal for making a good impression when you come out.
Later that afternoon the three of us headed to the newly opened Korean Baths and had a nude soak in the tubs for a few more hours. It was such a blissfully relaxing way to spend the day. It’s a shame that monday blew all that relaxation out of the water with me having to work until 2.30 am. I kind of reached a delirious tiredness and was dancing around the office waiting for posters to print.
Anyway, I thought the photos above pretty much represented the feeling of last sunday, except that none of us have the bodies of these guys.
After a wonderful four days in blissful Byron Bay a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been in long sleeve shirts and even jackets ever since. I’m not built for winter weather. It’s nice rugging up sometimes but we all know I’m a less is more kinda guy when it comes to clothing and a real boy of summer.
If I had to choose a winter environment or summer to spend the rest of my days, bring on the sun damage. I’d look like that old woman from Something about Mary quick smart, tits out and all.
I’m having withdrawal symptoms already. I can feel the vitamin D leeching from my body.
With the weather that is… Today I spent a lovely few hours nude on the beach in beautiful weather with the new flatmate and a couple of friends. It’s a few weeks into Autumn officially and it was in the high 20’s (celsius) here today. It was absolutely beautiful. I don’t know how much longer it can go on, but I’m hoping we get some good weather in Byron Bay in a month’s time.
Tonight I’m off to “perform” as a statue at a corporate function. We will be dressed as punks and all we have to do is stand there perfectly still for 3 x 20 minute sessions. I don’t know if I can stand still for that long but it will be fun. I’ll try and get some photos. I picked up my mohawk headpiece yesterday and it freaking rocks.
I spent a couple of lovely hours lying nude in the sun today on the beach. Sadly it was by myself. As I lay there I realised all my close mates are out of town this weekend or busy so I had the solitude to read and enjoy the quiet.
When I got to the beach there were two guys sitting not far from me, I don’t know if they were mates but I don’t think they are a couple and I’m not even at all sure they were gay. While I was trying to be discreet and not look like a total perve, my eyes were just drawn back to him. My guess is that he would be in his late 40’s. Completely bald, small mustache and goatee, and tall. I would estimate about 6′3″ and definitely done a lot of athletic stuff in his life. He was also totally at ease being nude, even though his friend was wearing speedos.
I’ve traditionally been attracted to guys a few years older than me, but over the last couple of years I’ve had several, let’s call them encounters, with younger guys. This guy shook all that up and reaffirmed my taste for older guys. He was probably a bit outside my traditional range but my god he did it for me. Until he lit the cigarette. I still thought he was hot, but I just don’t get smoking.
It’s one of the hottest days we’ve had in a long time today. 40 degrees celsius, which is 104 Farenheit for you somewhere else in the world. I spent a few hours on the nude beach with a bunch of mates, regularly jumping in the water to cool off. It was beautiful, but after a few hours, the time had come to get out of the sun so I wouldn’t end up with heat stroke.
I’ve had some lunch and chilled out around the house, as much as one can in this heat, and now I’m getting ready for the pool party birthday bbq.
Last summer here in Sydney was a bit ordinary, and that’s being polite. It was wet more than sunny and just not good for my favourite past time, nude beach laziness.
I complain in winter when it’s cold, so now that it’s scorchingly hot no words of complaint about the heat shall pass these lips. It’s hot, it’s humid and it’s sweaty, but I’m loving it. Granted, it’s not ideal for sleeping etc, but that’s what fans and air conditioning are for.
It’s the Australia Day long weekend here this weekend and we get Monday off as well. Yay. Tomorrow I’m heading to the nude beach with a couple of mates to soak up some sun and warmth and relax before heading to a mate’s birthday pool party in the afternoon evening. What a great day it’s going to be. Even if the predicted thunderstorm hits, it’s going to be one of those spectacular summer storms. Love those.
We are in the midst of the Sydney Festival at the moment here in Sydney, which means there are events going on all over the place like concerts, plays, and all sorts of stuff. There used to be a rival Sydney Fringe Festival every year as well. I’m not sure if that still happens but one event in the fringe festival doesn’t happen.
The Bondi Twighlight nude surfing competition used to be a very popular event but due to unruly press photographers and too many spectators it was canned. Such a shame. It’s definitely something that I think should be brought back!
So far my weekend is off to a really nice start. I left work on time yesterday to rush off to yet another rehearsal for the Aerialize shows next week. Then as luck would have it, a recently-single-again fuck buddy called and said he was frisky, so I went over there and we made nice with each other for a while before I came home and slept like a baby.
This morning I’m heading to the nude beach for a couple of hours in the sunshine with a mate who’s visiting from London and the previously mentioned recently-single guy. Then it’s off to another rehearsal, then rushing off to pole dancing where hopefully I’ll have a video of my full routine for you by the end of the day!
Then it’s a quiet night in I think!
