1. Nudism rule: Don`t be ashamed

If you`re shy by nature, go to the beach early when it is not too crowded. In this way you can remove one piece of clothing after another and gradually get used to the feeling of nudity in the company of strangers. When other nudists come to the beach, you will already be lying in the sun completely relaxed and naked.

2. Nudism rule: Wear sunglasses

Besides protecting your eyes from ultra-violet rays, dark shades will enable you to discretely observe other nudists. Believe us, especially at the beginning it is hard to resist the temptation of glancing at the intimate parts of others. After a certain time you will get completely used to nudity and you won`t even notice that people around you are naked.

3. Nudism rule: Be considerate

Even though exhibitionism and voyeurism are the essential parts of nudism, most nudists appreciate a bit of privacy on the beach. Be considerate to others and don`t flash you possessions too much or too proudly. Also don`t stare at their intimate parts, or others might get the impression that you see a naked butt or breasts for the first time. Don`t point your finger and don`t mock anyone! Find your own place on the beach and enjoy the privacy, the sun and water.

4. Nudism rule: Protect your skin

Despite often warnings people are still not fully aware of all the dangers of sun exposure and sun-bathing. Ultra-violet rays can cause mild to moderate sunburns which contribute to development of skin cancer. Besides, unprotected skin ages more quickly. Therefore you should always have a sun cream with an appropriate factor in your beach bag. Be especially careful of those parts of the body which are not exposed to the sun very often.
