I went walking along the beach at night, a number of times this week. And as always, I walked free. It was as if I owned the beach. Twice I walked alone, and twice my wife walked beside me. Night beach walking is a low tide activity for me. By Friday night, the beach walking will likely come to an end for a while. Daytime beach walks are done during low tide. When the tide is out, the beach averages…
It is the rainy season here in Olon. It doesn’t rain so much as to banish the sun for a good part of each day. It does rain enough to keep the mosquito population active. Mosquitoes love me. It doesn’t matter if I am back on the prairies in Canada, in China, in Mexico, or anywhere else on the planet. If there are mosquitoes, they will find me. As a result, I resort to using various lotions, sprays, and mosquito…
Before I get into today’s post, I want to make one observation. As of the moment I find myself writing these words, I have 666 comments. Does this mean that my blog site now has come to the attention of the master of lies, the serpent who persuaded Eve and Adam to cover up their nakedness? If so, I am sure he is royally pissed off that I am not living up to the lie of nudity as perversion. [I…
The “carnaval” crowds are gone and the beach is basically empty, especially in the early afternoon when the heat persuades so many to retreat indoors to air conditioning and afternoon siestas. For some reason, I tolerate heat very well. I left our place at noon and walked just over one kilometre to a place that has the least amount of beach traffic. It’s the place where I skinny dip most days. Once there, the Kiniki mini brief tan through swim…
I have been thinking more and more about Normalising Naturism [#NormalisingNaturism] and have come to the conclusion that in our modern western world that includes basically all first world countries, naturism will never be normal. There is too much embedded deep within the “normal” human psyche that works against this ever happening. Many who proselytize in favour of living clothing free have this idea that once a person actually tries being clothing free, they will become nudists/naturists/whatever. It’s a nice…
It’s time to add a few more words here for all who find their way to this page. The past few days have not been all that wonderful. Of course, no one in their right mind would ever expect that every day needs to be perfect, or some resemblance to Paradise. Just like the weather and the seasons are constantly changing, so do our moods and our relationships. As you can tell by the photo, I am spending some time…
I woke up to dark skies again this morning, after a night of dream-filled sleep. The dreams were quickly forgotten once I had left our bed to check out the weather from the front patio. Since all the draperies were still closed on the other two residences in our small compound, I was in no rush to retreat to my quiet corner which is less visible to all concerned parties. This is part of the reason why I love early…
It has been a few days since my last post. With a bit cooler temperatures and a later low-tide, I find myself with a bit of unstructured time for writing another blog post. As usual, I include a photo showing a snapshot of life for me in Olon, Ecuador. This is how I live, mostly clothing free. Consider it to be “normal.” This is a photo taken by my wife for whom my nudity is “normal.” Since I don’t have…
It was another sunny morning and early afternoon in Olon, Ecuador. Just before noon, I decided to head out with the sole intention of getting some sunshine. I had several hours to myself and I intended on getting the most out of them as possible while the sky was blue. I walked about a kilometre down the beach to reach the location where I had previously been able to sunbathe when the tide was out. Since the beach was basically…
The sky is mostly blue with scattered clouds creating pleasing tableaux. We began the morning with coffee on the beach which is less than a 100 metres from our apartment, rather than on our patio. Of course, that meant I needed to wear shorts. Even though it was early, the beach was already busy. One red car had backed up to the edge of the beach to provide a fully amplified system for beach goers pleasure whether they want it…
