One of the reasons why topless bikinis are popular in Europe

A transplanted New Yorker writes about her experiences at a nude beach in Europe where she lives and why she prefers topless sunbathing.

"... ‘’La gente esta en pelotas,’’ were the first words out of my boyfriend’s mouth when he realized que estamos en una playa nudista (we were at a nude beach).

Neither of us cared but a warning would have been nice. I have seen and visited nude beaches before. I am not far from being nude myself when I go to the beach enjoying the European custom of going topless...

In the end it was like any other day at the beach... i also came to a few conclusions:

1. I prefer my man keep his package under wraps and only bare his paler bum to me.

2. Sand near my baby-making parts sounds rough

3. It is a pity to go stark naked when there so many fabulous options for beachwear."

She made 2 observations. One, she was taken to a nude beach and didn't know in advance.

We have men from time to time call saying they want to surprise their wife/girlfriend by booking our resort. Bad move. Women NEVER want to be surprised by going to a nudist resort or nude beach. They want to know and to voice their own opinion to their boyfriend/spouse.

The other comment she made is "so many fabulous options for beachwear." Younger European women are just as susceptible to the clothing industries advertising as American women are.

We have many European guests stay with us and they say a lot of younger women in Europe these days will only go topless sunbathing not nude sunbathing as they want to make a "fashion statement" with their bottoms.

They don't wear bottoms due to modesty. They may wearing thong bikinis that cover as much as dental floss would at the beach, yet that small strip of fabric costing maybe $90 is a fashion statement for them.

Once the women mature into their 30's, then they start going nude sunbathing.

If you have always wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing, give us a call at 800-786-6938.

We are the most mainstream nudist resort in America. We are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

Topless sunbathing in Las Vegas

We are in Las Vegas this week for a short vacation. A number of the hotels allow topless sunbathing which is also called European sunbathing in Las Vegas.. We have been to Caesar's and didn't like it - they were overwhelmed with single men

Mandalay Bay was much better, although it still had a lot of single men.

Last night, we went to the Bob Dylan concert at the Hard Rock Hotel. What I was so surprised to see was young women playing at the slot machines in bikinis in the casino. And not just regular old sting bikini bikinis, but many of them wearing thong bikinis.

We went to the pool which was packed. I would bet 25% of the young women in their early 20's had on thong bikinis.

There is a major market that nudism has not been able to market too, younger women.

At my hotel, The Terra Cotta Inn, we have guests from their 20's to 70's. However there is a large market of young people who appear comfortable enough to be in thong bikinis playing at slot machines that other nudist venues seem to be missing.

If only nudism had more marketing muscle.
