  Our experience of the resorts weve been to over the years is that the majority of naturists prefer to dress for dinner. We would prefer to eat nude but usually go with the flow.

  Breakfast and lunch is always nude for us, but again, many prefer to wear something more substantial than a towel.

  Actually crumbs and spills are easier to remove from skin than clothes so being messy isn't a valid excuse in my book. My son, however, makes his son wear a shirt at the table because he is a bit messy. I would not make him wear one since my son and I often don't, but I won't interfere unless I see something that is truly detrimental.

  My breakfast experience at resorts has been coffee & a roll / donut as you are. I really havent seen anyone put on something early in the morning unless it was cold.

  I have only eaten lunch and dinner at nudist venues. It was a mix of nude and some degree of dressed. I was nude and was a bit uncomfortable at first because I was visiting and the only one nude. I didnt know if dressing for meals was required. Eventually other nudes came in and I felt better.

  A radio talk show host did his show from a nudist resort and when he was offered food he declined because he though it was unsanitary.

  Our local nudist venues are more camps than resorts, so you order food at a walk up window then take it over to picnic tables. Everyone remains nude. At the resorts we have been to (Laguna del Sol, Cypress Cove, and Lake Como) we have not had any problems remaining nude for all meals. As said earlier, at Cypress Cove breakfast is more popular at the pool bar "Cheeks" than at the restaurant, so the majority are nude for any meal there. We've always been able to be nude at the main restaurant as well, but clothed guests are more common there. We just got back from Lake Como and nude at dinner was more common than at breakfast, but that could be because it was still cooler in the morning. That's what I remember at Laguna del Sol as well, but it's been a while since weve been there.
  
  Then there are the nude cruises we go on. Since the main dining room requires clothes, anyone who seeks out the buffet or pool deck food options is probably doing so specifically to remain nude. So clothed diners are in the minority.

  I think somebody who says it's unsanitary to eat nude has not understood nudism. A penis or a vagina is not unclean, it's a part of the body like the hand and the mouth.

  I had the same experience at cypress. I think the lakeside restaurant usually requires clothing for dinner for some reason. They specify when nudity for dinner is encouraged so usually eat at Cheeks for that reason. I enjoy the friendly, social atmosphere at cheeks as well. Easy to meet people to hang with.

  Lakeside has been closed throuout the pandemic. They always promoted nude dining. Even offering a free glass of wine on certain nights to those who dined naked. Hopefully they will reopen soon

Hopefully they will reopen soon[/quote] Thursday nights. We always fly in on a Thursday morning so we can get our free glass of wine with dinner at the Lakeside! And they allow nude dining all week long. Hopefully they will be open by Nude-a-Palooza weekend, and hopefully they can have the concert, too. We will be there that weekend either way.

  For those of you who do wear clothing for dinner at a clothing optional resort, is there any reason you do so other than to go with the flow?

  Go with the flow.
  I can't remember the last time I wore clothes to breakfast at home. But at the last nudist resort I visited, everyone dressed for breakfast. At one of the potlucks, 3/4 were dressed at least in shorts.

Today I celebrated the unseasonably warm weather by being nude over 16 hours, including all 3 meals.

  I would not be one to go with the flow.

  When I visit the men's resort near me, I arrived nude, check in nude, camp nude, everything nude, check out nude, drive home nude.

  I've never seen anyone else at the cafe who was nude. Seems everyone wears shorts at the very least. There's no requirement to wear any clothing anywhere on the resort -- and I'm nude the entire time.

  No one has ever said anything about the fact that I'm nude at the cafe. They know it's their choice to wear clothing and mine to be nude. Equally, no one says anything when someone is in the pool or hot tub with clothing on.

  If I'm somewhere that I can be naked I will be the entire time with the only exception being weather. Plus as others have said naked is a lot easier to clean up than clothing.

Even if almost every other male is wearing a shirt, I don't care. Probably would be the same way with shorts in a place where I could get away without wearing them.

  There is a huge misconception that being a nudist means being naked all the time. Clothing is optional at most resorts and so people wear as much or as little as the for meals. At the venues I visit people tend to eat outdoors clothes free but some dress to eat indoors. At a New Years dinner party I attended a few people were dressed in resort wear (i.e. women wore minimal dresses or other skimpy clothing) most men wear either clothes free or Donald ducking.
  
  I tend to stay unclothed unless the weather is on the cooler side. At the end of the day people should do what is comfortable that is the freedom that is desired for nudism/naturism

  What I do with reference to wearing clothing, I do because it's an expression of freedom. [quote] At the end of the day people should do what is comfortable that is the freedom that is desired for nudism/naturism [/quote] However, if everyone did exactly as I do, then it would very likely become bondage for many people.
