I recommend it better as a couple, I’m well endowed and the one time I was on my own one guy started shouting at me for ’showing my dick off’ so it’s maybe not for single people as others can think you are cruising !

The best advice is go to a nude beach with your wife or girlfriend. It’s pretty boring sitting by yourself. It’s way more fun being there with a loved one.

This way you can also each encourage the other one to try nude sunbathing.

Many guys do not go to nude beaches for fear of getting en erection. This fear can come from fear that they will be made fun of or that they will not measure up or from truly being exposed having strangers see them in such a intimate state.

I have had erections at the nude beach. I tend to role over, or lift my knee until it subsides. i am not comfortable walking around fully erect.

The only thing I can add to the question is that the boyfriend (or girlfriend) doesn’t have to be naked on the naked beach straight away! Apart from some beaches in Bulgaria (where as I heard on some beaches you really have to be naked if you want to stay), other beaches have both naked and dressed people. So, if anyone feels uncofortable, – a big step is just to make it to the naked beach, see how you feel there (and stay dressed), and relax quickly afterwards, as indeed the natural way of living and how nudists approach the whole thing usually puts your mind at rest and you want to try being naked yourself.
It’s how I became a nudist, by the way.

That seems to me a funny question, as most guys are always asking how to get their wives or girlfriends to try a nude beach with them. There’s actually a very funny video called “how to get a guy to go skinny dipping.” Look it up – it’s hilarious.

For your situation, in a non-threatening atmosphere, talk to him and ask him how he feels about nude beaches in general, even just skinny dipping. Non-threatening meaning without his friends or other company around. Don’t back him into a corner and listen thoughtfully to his concerns. If you are both mild drinkers, consider a beer or two to calm his jitters so he can discuss it. Don’t have the TV or game going on … make it a calm date somewhere where you two are basically alone and won’t be interrupted.

Answers can range from moral outrage (it’s just a sex orgy or God hates us naked), low self-esteem (I could never have that much courage), bad body-image (I look ugly naked or the proverbial – what if “it” goes up?), restrictive upbringing (we never did anything like that in my family), bad experience (tried it and a cop gave me …), urban myths (a friend once tried that and he said …) Once you can talk about it, discuss why he feels that way or why he interpreted the experience that way. Most guys don’t feel they will measure up, the beer belly is too unattractive, feelings of jealousy, etc. Sometimes they have wondered about it, but never gave voice to their thoughts and feelings and now is a good time to discuss it. Once you lay it all out, he may find it is not such a big deal after all.

Then the fun part is practice. Start practicing being naked or semi-clothed at home. Granted this may get other things started (and that’s not a bad thing) but you cannot be constantly in bed or the couch or … Lots of suggestions in the comments above, but take a shower and wear only a robe for extended periods of time. Or just a towel or pareo (if it is warm) … encourage him and praise him for little advances. Buy him some new soft shorts to wear around the house or backyard, but let him go commando. Encourage good hygiene, of course. Be silly about it – make dinner for just the 2 of you in a cooking apron only. Or order pizza – pay for it clothed and then snuggle under a comforter without clothes, while watching a movie or TV.

If you have a private backyard, try some mid-night skinny dipping or suntanning during warm private afternoons with him later. Have him put on suntan lotion on your back – can’t get the straps in the way – then don’t tie up. Later on, turn over. Encourage more suntan lotion. Granted you will get more attention from him, but is that a bad thing?

Communication is key. Keep him comfortable. Take him to a local clothing optional resort, like Palm Springs Terra Cotta Inn (link in thread above) where he can be safe and away from familiar eyes. Or do what I did with my wife on our first anniversary – rented a house with a private pool and bathing suits were not allowed (well, she was mainly topless.) When we later went to Blacks Beach in San Diego, I was nude and she tried topless. Then she went bottomless and it was all good – the sky did not fall in. So pick a special event, but sometimes guys will loosen up more on a trip, that they might not try at home. I’ve heard many tales of couples trying out Orient Beach in St Martin for a whole week, then vowing never to wear a bathing suit on a beach again.

And maybe he may not join you totally au-naturel, but if he can be your “protector” and let you both go sometime, he may just try it later on when you least expect it. Winter and fall might be cooler than summer, but less crowds .. or weekdays vs weekends mean less public display … or some deserted beaches may encourage his spirit of freedom to try it out. Even borrowing a neighbor’s pool while they are on vacation can spark his sense of adventure.

Only problem may be getting him BACK into clothes later on … LOL.
