The primary purpose of Lupin Naturist Club is to provide a relaxing, year-round getaway for people who regard human bodies as natural and shameless. Weather permitting, most people at Lupin prefer to be nude, dressing mostly for warmth or skin protection, or as common sense suggests on a situational basis. Appropriate footwear, a towel to sit on, and sunscreen are suggested accessories.
Cars become all-purpose lockers.
Because denial of the body makes it an object of prurient interest, nudity and sexuality are closely linked in the perceptions of clothes-compulsive cultures. In reality, the acceptance of natural nudity in ordinary social circumstances significantly defuses its impact as an impersonal, erotic cue. Wearing nothing at all is far less titillating than strategically placed patches of cloth because, in the absence of anatomical curiosity, personhood supersedes gender differences. First-time naturists are often amazed to find themselves both comfortably nude and totally relaxed in the presence of others they find attractive. They learn that nudity and sex are different human experiences.
