Another possibility for you via your local newsagent is to chase up the magazine TAN - The Aussie Naturist
It has many articles on naturism plus names and contact phones for a couple of dozen places like Kiata across Oz

G'day mate
Kiata Country Club - like other Naturist Clubs across the country are open for nudists to become members and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air across their body. I/we are members of several naturist clubs and certainly enjoy our times at these places
You might be unaware that =no= casual sex takes place at these clubs, certainly =no= swinging parties that you / we might enjoy elsewhere
If you enjoy your nudity and want to come to these places, join the Aus Nudist Federation and once you have their membership card, all these clubs will welcome you

The naturist users of these beaches get very upset at "visitors" who think that a nude beach is provided for their "fun in the scrub, rocks and so forth". There is a huge effort going on today to close a nude beach up Byron way - locals are tired of blow-ins who just come there for some "fun in the scrub"
As a nudist who uses these beaches, I invite you to consider somewhere else for your fun in the sun

Hi Rose
I would like callers to use a tiny bit of imagination when sending a first message.
I have [regrettably] received so many messages which have 100% identical wording, I have become suspicious as to whether or not I am dealing with real people or just a "cut 'n paste machine"
What I get too much of is this -
I'd like to know more ...
Hi,
Really like your profile, why don't you drop by and have a look at mine. Let me know what you think.
It does make me wonder sometimes ... while we're having fun with others who are fun to be with

As an old I.T. fella, one of the biggest problems is keeping up with issues relating to operating system changes [windows especially] where the O/S software makes 'calls' into parts of your computer's software ... and if not kept up to date, all sorts of stuff can go wrong
The other area that SH had was that 'old' software had been exposed with several security weaknesses, and they had to be attended to, along with a general facelift to bring the screens up to what people expected a 'modern' system to look like
Hope this helps, Phil

One way to do it would be profiles that haven't logged in for 12 months are made inactive i.e don't come up in search results. As soon as someone logs in again it goes active. If not logged in for say 5 years then they are deleted. That would seem reasonable?
I'd agree with this too - except to drop the 5 yrs down to 2 or 3 yrs

G'day all
Yeah - it's a bit like that for us as well ... despite our profile saying 'we play with couples' there are always single blokes who try their luck, and then there are others who say 'we can travel to meet you' ... and then they find they are 500+km away from us !!!! - ah well, maybe some of them might be able to read one day

G'day dknloz & T246
Agreed ... anywhere that you feel comfortable with a bit of skinny dipping & camping will be just as good for having a bit of fun too. Whether it's the Murray or the Murrumbidgee, both are not far away from you & have heaps of small places to stay. If you are not aware of it, try the fishing stores for the Murray river camping books - the books show about 1000 places along the river suitable for fishermen & campers
Also there's 100s of campsites along riverbanks, NPs and state parks ... that's what we use when camping with 'friends with benefits'
Please remember [as mentioned above] that nudist/naturist resorts are private property and the owners set the rules. They are designed to be 100% safe places for people who are comfortable not wearing clothes to walk around, swim etc without being hassled by others [like us on SH etc] who may want to play occasionally. I have used them for many years and I have seen heaps of blokes turfed out for inappropriate behaviour. I have heard owners on the phone fielding enquiries, and it's not nice to hear some of the questions asked of those who are non-players. So let's keep playing, but on our own turf, not someone else's
Phil
G'day EP & RA ... and others here
Like you, I am also a serious photographer - and I agree 100% with your presumption that 'good' photographs are worth the dollars one spends to have them created. As I look at the gallery here, I am frankly appalled at 90% of the images as displayed ... obviously taken 'on the quiet' as a selfie, and often showing what I consider the wrong stuff
Sure, I know many blokes think that a bloke's erection is exciting, or a woman's vagina is exciting - but to me there's heaps more to it than that. To me, one has to entice the viewer via the imagination, and by leaving out the obvious bits and showing just enough to get the other person to ask for more, is where it's at
For me - I have created special camera filters to apply selective blur across an image - better than PS pp, and as I shoot the person/couple I try to create the aura of desire - rather than going at it like the proverbial bull in a china shop and simply showing the bits mentioned above
ps- I like both your profile pix
Phil
G'day all
We also are a photographer-couple and have done some sensuous - semi-erotic stuff between ourselves over the years
You are very correct re- security these days - with the latest [last week] of new legislation coming into being for porn revenge by ex-lovers releasing private & personal photos of their ex onto the internet
My take on this is
a) you must retain the camera memory card at all times - so there's no arguments over unauthorised image releases, and
b) more effort needs to go into setting the scene, rather than simply pressing the button
Anyone can take photos of someone else with / without any clothes, but few people can take a series of photos making the subject/s looking beautiful & sexy

Hey everyone,
Not that everyone has issues with it but if you do, how do you deal with self esteem, nerves and body image issues?
..... Thank you kindly for reading and I am sorry for asking nonsense like this on here.
G'day Moon
Just seen your post ...
The business of body image and the associated sexuality desires / responses is one that affects us all at various stages of life. Some of us are "blessed" to be built like a hollywood film star, the other 998/1000 are just normal people
I have been involved for many years with a group that has "Love, Intimacy & Sexuality" weekends [the venue is about an hour's drive from Sydney] where 50 - 60 adults spend the weekend together, all naked, exploring their sexuality along with love & intimacy
I will not put their web details here, as I do not want admin to zap the post ... what I invite you to do is to PM me and I will give you website details.
ps- the group is a legal Aussie business, no issues there, has been operating in Oz for over 30 years, and has had over 10,000 Aussies through its LIS workshops

G'day NC
I thought I had replied to this Q several days ago .... Hmmm
There is the Valley View nudist club premises half-way between Cairns & Mareeba
You will need to chase up the Sec of that club to ascertain entry arrangements & prices per night
I stress also - it is a naturist / nudist club [we have been there & it's a great place], it is NOT a swingers playground
Phil
G'day all
Geez everyone - we must be "doing it wrong"
We've found very few single blokes have any real idea of 'seducing' a sexually competant woman - too many seem to want a qwik fuk without doing anything to justify their existence in the playpen. That's why we prefer couples
We insist on a meet 'n greet over a meal with the new couple before contemplating any play time, during which time we have a serious discussion about previous sexual partners, habits and use of protection, etc
Then on agreed play nights, we will have dinner 4 or 6 of us that is, with sexy conversation etc before meandering off to a playpen
Couples may move around thru the night between partners, & if there's 3 couples there's often 2 x 3-somes going sometime during the night
We also socialise with our playmates till they become 'friends with benefits' too
Makes for some fab times

G'day mate
"oldness" is a state of mind - but as I am not too far behind you, I also know all about the differences between 'desire' and 'performance'
The desire for sexual pleasure does not fade as the years go on, but the body's willingness to perform as it did 2 or 3 or 4 decades ago is not always there. I comment to some of my partners / potential partners that my tongue is my most powerful sex toy ... coz it's also the case that once I've come i've gone ... but the tongue can go on much longer
As to getting partners, it is not easy
Maybe dates with singles / divorcees / widows of whom there are plenty around, might be a way of 'having fun'
Don't give up yet mate

We both find it rude and insulting. The use of which immediately shuts down any or all further interaction.
The answer (for us) isn't just no but Hell no!
