Nudist resort owners' banning of children riles the naturist community

15. I agree with this decision

I've been to a couple clothing optional spas and hot springs in Oregon and the only time I was ever truly uncomfortable was when I plunked down into a hot tub and realized the girl across from me was 10-12 years old. That, for me, completely changed the dynamic. Whereas before, I could actually relax comfortably in mixed naked company, I was suddenly extremely conscious of both my own body and where my eyes were. After a few minutes, I gave up and left.

No, I don't expect that to be everyone's reaction, but it was mine. Beautiful naked adults, wrinkled naked adults, skinny-impaired adults (charter member here) - all okay with me. Kids, well, they make me uncomfortable. I'd only ever return to a place that was adults only.
