Not sure if this is the right place for this but whats everyones view on having nudist friends for home visits? It would be nice to get a group of genuine naturists for regular meets but it seems hard finding the genuine people out there. At least thats how it feels in the West Midlands.

    A nudist party in a home is nice.  It helps to know the people.  True nudist friends is a possible way of meeting.  A group for nudists in your geographical area is another idea.

    I haven't had a nude party in my home yet, but I have had friends I have met here come visit.  We had chatted in chat room for a long time and got to know each other well before the visit.  I have other friends who I would love to visit or have them come visit, just haven't yet due to distance.

    There's a network of naturist 'meetup' groups in the UK as part of a
    much wider 'meetup' system.  Here's the general login page:
    http://www.meetup.com/login/
    You'll need to create a login id, but
    it's free.  Search around for groups, I'm in the Yorkshire mens
    naturist meetup group but there are more of them about.  Unfortunately,
    there doesn't seem to be one in the West Mids.  Try signing up for the
    Yorks one and have a chat with Andrew, who started the group.  Maybe
    start one in Dudley?  I'm sure there'll be plenty of takers.  You'll
    see from the Yorks page that there is a variety of meets and activities
    including nude swims and even a nude night at the York Maze.
    It
    looks like the nearest group to you is in Nottingham and that's a
    men's group too.  I'm sure you'd be welcome there to test the waters
    before branching out on your own.
    Good luck!

    My partner and I regularly have guys over to hang out nude for a movie night or a BBQ etc.  All in all we have had pretty good experiences at just having people over naked.  A lot of guys who have never done it before want to come but get a bit shy cos they are scared they will get a boner.
    It's been difficult getting a group going or having regular nudist friends because the area we live is very prudish and people seem to be very reserved so most people travel a fair way to come hang out with us which in turn limits how often or how many people come along.

    There are a few rules one should bare in mind when organising nude get-togethers in one's home.

    1. Make sure all people invited have a healthy attitude towards nude lifestyle, if some of them you do not know in person or they are not members in any association/club, make sure that someone you trust can give a positive evaluation of them - or they convince you of their attitude in a thorough introduction.

    2. Organising things well takes time. Even informal get-together needs some program, food, drinks etc.

    3. Dishes need to be available, if more guests, disposable are the best option even if not the most environmentally kosher. Pot luck does some burden off the organiser regarding food but we mostly prefer to prepare things ourselves, gives better overlook to a balanced set of food, which takes all into consideration (lactose-intolerants, veggies, carnivores, keliakists and so on). OBA (Own Bottles Along) policy saves trouble of carrying the drinks in for everyone, as well as guessing what whose favourite drink is. In our parties we tend to have red wine, water and some soft drinks enough for everyone, but anyone preferring other drinks mostly needs to bring in the stuff themselves. It may be a bit peculiar, but we do not serve tea nor coffee, only hot drink is mulled wine in wintertime - it has no practical reason except our household is de-caf and thus we do not have proper equipment to prepare tea or coffee. Beer has a tendency of being overly consumed if available, so we usually have it just in sauna to be drunk there while cooling off.

    4. If people know one another, at least in large part, no program is necessarily needed but if many are unknown to one another, there could be some program to make people acquainted, as some may be shy and bit excluded unless given opportunity to make themselves heard at first. Much depends whether the party is purely indoors or if there is garden/terrace to disposal, but in general similar rules apply as to textile parties. Most important element is instead of face control, the "ideas control" that all who come know what kind of party it is and agree with the basic agenda.

    5. Also shape the party according to guests, if kids there, smaller ones need some facilities/program of their own, they get bored with adults. If most visitors couples, it tends to give different air than if most are single. Gender balance is also a topic sometimes hotly debated, but in regular evening get-together it is not that extremely relevant, though all depends a bit on the mental undertones of the party. Might not be a good idea to have 25 guys who all friends and 2 girls who not acquainted to anyone.

    6. If all invited people are experienced nudies, only thing different from a textile party is really to take care indoors is warm enough and there is enough assigned space to get rid of clothes on arrival. Newbies may need some extra attention.

    I agree, the "rules" are simple and the same as any other home get-together. The difference is that you are nude. I assume you are not inviting complete strangers to your home nude or not for social settings at least.

    Oh it is wonderful, actually.  We knew each other from the club, so it was natural.  We did have a non-nudist there.  Interestingly, no one noticed either way.

    We find it a lot more relaxing than going to a resort or the beach. The beer and wine and food is in the fridge. We choose the music ( very important ) we also get to choose the friends ( also very important ).

    Well it is your home, your friends, all good, should not be an issue I would think.

    I've always thought that home get togethers while nude would naturally be a part of nudism. I enjoy socialing and nudism so why not.  I see no problem but of course a host might want to be careful when inviting friends over to prevent conflicts of interest.  I'm not that crazy about textiles hanging out with nudists as I tend to question their motives. Why stand out in a crowd, drop your clothes and let your body breathe and relax.

    We have had social home meets, or pool parties that were C/O. there seemed to be no issues, only a couple of people initially did not feel comfortable nude, but as the evening carried on, they gave it a try, in an attempt to not stand out as the only ones not nude. Surprisingly, the people who were not comfortable were men, the wives jumped right in.
    We did have a no suits allowed in the pool rule, so sit and sweqt in your clothes or get naked, cool off and join the fun.

    Cheers

    I have attended, and even hosted,  a number a number of nude parties with my

    nudist friends. The big difference is that at nudist parties you remove more

    than just your coat when you can.

    Good tips! Thanks. I have not hosted a party yet but was considering it. Just one embarrassing question. When I'm nude at home, I usually sit on a towel to protect the furniture. Any thoughts on this with a party? [quote]There are a few rules one should bare in mind when organising nude get-togethers in one's home. 1.

    It has been many years since I have attended a nude home gathering and even longer since I have hosted or co-hosted an event. Hopefully within a couple months I will be able too again.

    Its great to have true nude home meets. Its great to meet other nudists and just be nude and hang out and relax or swap stories and experiences. I know it can be kind of odd to get some going which is why i normally visit nudist resorts but would be great to have nude meets.
