What you want, when you can

Being a nudist, naturist, clothes free person, naked-goer, whatever you care to call it, is difficult for most of us in this more and more restrictive and idiotic world.

Seeing the number of North American nudist resorts closing or going clothed is not a good thing. Not for the people who care about those places, who go there and love their stay.

"The times, they are a-changing," Bob Dylan already sang. (Check it out here, it's apparently forbidden to embed the song.)

I've heard about these things in podcasts, and read about them in articles, like in the series "Planet Nude" from Evan Nix.

Time are changing. Old people stick to what they know, the resorts and the beaches. Young people, however, have different ideas. They want to do different things like naked runs, hikes and other activities. They will face their own problems in those, as the world is conservatising more and more, making nudity difficult. I would even think that resorts closing and changing have to do with that. Younger people aren't interested in taking over an 'old people resort', so that's where things end. Which isn't true for every resort, of course, but the trend is clearly visible.

The world changes and people change with it. Or is it the other way around? We, the old folks, are from the nude generation. Young people tend to go opposite ways, so they seem to lean towards conservatism (not generalising here, but it's what I read in various articles as well). And their kids will go against that again, living up to naturism and a more liberal way of life. We'll see. The older folks disappear with the naturist resorts. Let's just hope the resorts return.

The old folks not so. Nudist zombies, anyone?
