I admit, life gets hectic and I hadnt been on here much in quite some time. I used to enjoy reading thru the 'family' forum posts, because as a single mother still fairly new to nudism, it gave me encouragement to know other parents (both in relationships and single parents) had been thru similar sitations as myself.
Just today I decided to try the forums again, as I have more free time, in the hopes of coming across other single parents who may have helpful advice or willing to share experiences in child-rearing thru nudist or naturalist living.
Instead I was quite shocked to find post after post of incest, family masterbation sessions, and talk of sons filming their parents having sex! Until now, I had been considering the idea of paying for a full membership here, thinking it would help me to find more like-minded parents. But after the horror I experienced today, I dont know that I'll even bother to keep my free account on here much longer.
Such a waste, this was truly a wonderful site, and helpful resource when I first got into nudism and wanted to explore my interest more. Now its just another pervert collection like most other sites on the internet. There simply arent enough words to express myself at this moment - anger, hurt, sadness would be just a few.
Truly a shame that such a great site has gone downhill so quickly. ~Barb~

Hi Barb! My name is Patrick and I'm in NC! I felt the pain, hurt, frustration, and disgust at what you read on the website. I feel for you, I truly do! My experience has been different from yours. I joined the website over 3 years ago as a basic member and was not able to talk with other members. I didn't upgrade to gold until 2 months ago and I wish I had upgraded sooner. I have met many nice and open single women, single moms with children, and couples from around the world and chat with all of them frequently. I have chatted with several single moms getting acquainted with them and their families. Several have asked my advice on child rearing and I openly answered honestly what I thought in each situation. I am a 65 year young retired nudist man who never married so I don't know where the "wisdom" came from to share with them the way I did, but each one thanked me for the advice I gave them. We continue to chat frequently and some of them just call me to chat because they feel comfortable talking to me. Before you cancel your membership here, look again at the range of members from around the world who I am sure would be very happy to chat with you about their child rearing experiences and would give you the support and advice you need. Be selective when you contact members to chat with..read their profiles and I think you will have a different perspective on what the website offers you. Yes, there might be some profiles that don't seem to fit here...pass over them...and find ones that do fit for you. Don't throw the website away just because of a few objectionable profiles, posts or comments that you have read...we are not all bad apples, many of us are delicious and are just waiting to be picked! I hope my message to you will help you to have a renewed and positive view of the majority of members on Nudist Friends! Your Nude Friend, Patrick Collier

JustBarb, please don't allow the "nasties" to destroy your enjoyment of the lifestyle. Legitimate sunclads wouldn't dream of the behavior you've indicated. Contact AANR for some advice on approved sites. Good luck. Sunloverfrank

don't let the perverts prevent you from discovering yourself. obviously, there are people out there that think that nude=sex, or whatever else people may think. but then there are real people on here, yet, that are here for the same reason as you, and i.

We agree with 'AGESAGO' ask any Female what sort of approaches she gets from males on Naturist/Nudist Websites. Such a high proportion are from 'Penis Brains, Married men wanting a bit extra, Men who think that by saying or becoming a Nudist will solve all their past life problems. Then of course there are those that want to Web Cam, this almost certainly will include the 'Performers and Directors'
Sad really,

I have to admit that I have seen the fall of this site. I suspect women are subject to different posts and live chats than men, but every time I get notice that someone is interested in me, the chat leads right to sex acts as if men think a nude woman is just looking for sex. It really is sad for those who are in the lifestyle and are just looking for likeminded friends. My advice is to not judge the whole site by a few - ok, a lot - of bad apples that are looking for something lewd rather than sincere friends. If the real people leave, then the site will fall into the hands of those who seek only sex. I refuse to believe the site belongs in the gutter with the rats. I am sticking around to find friends and I know I am not alone.

I have similar sentiments. I too have come to this site looking for advice. I have found alot of perverts as well. I actually had a friend request, that in the picture the person making the request was jerking off. I have been reluctant to post pictures due to such activity. I have also not commented on many of the posts as to not be associated with such sickness. This is also one of the reasons I have been reluctant to upgrade my account. If after reading this post there is anyone knows of a site that isn't plagued by the formentioned sickness, please let me know. Just send and email or something.

Perhaps it was the recession so folks dropped out of 'Gold Membership'. Maybe it was the level of moderation or lack of it. I met my lady on it back in July 2006, at that time you had 100 + bloggs a month, now it is generally less than 30. The lack of messaging on NF means that little communication can happen. As for ladies putting their profiles on the site, just ask them what approaches they get!
Take care

I hope this site wasn't a fad and is now going by the way. I am not a gold member, (no money for it now) but do love being nude and hope one day to be able to join straight out. Moving to NC soon and hope to get my life better. I can't help with raising a family in the naturist way except to just care and be honest with your family and hope that can except and go from there.
