**driveinduo** · July 11th, 2009, 05:28 PM

We are going to cti for the second time. My boyfriend would love to spend time on the island. I do not have anywhere near a perfect body... is there a variety of people or will i feel very out of place??

**BarbandChris** · July 11th, 2009, 07:53 PM

Just got back and we had a blast! All different ages, all different bodies...no one cares, it was just a lot of fun! Don't wait unti the last day because if you like it, you never know when you'll get the chance to go back!

I personally have never seen a perfect body on TI. Some close but most are bodies that show some signs of wear. I think the oldest couples I have seen was about 70. They showed significant signs of wear but had a great time. The youngest were in their early 20's. Not so many signs of wear but not perfect either... The crowd changes evey day so.... you basicaly get a pig in a poke every day! Go, have fun...don't get burned, use lots of sun screen and reapply every 20 minutes or so...

Being nude on a nude beach is not about having the perfect body. It just isn't - it's more about being you - comfortable with who you are and not judgmental of others or yourself.

Perfect bodies are the exception. You'll see every body type there is. Go and you'll have a fantastic time. Remember "Fat bottom girls make the rockin world go round"!

So you havent been there with me i see. Kidding aside, no matter what you look like you will be accepted and appreciated for just being there. I wore 30 and hit it up maybe twice a day. It all depends on the skin. This year I am thinking about 10.

The only way you would be out of place is if you Had a perfect Body. Of all the vacations me and my wife have gone on to a/n resort I have not ever seen a perfect body. You will see the same body types you see walking down the street in your home town. The one thing I will say is the people are much friendlier at a nude resort or beach, I guess because no one has anything to hide? Go try it I am sure you will love it.

**driveinduo** · July 12th, 2009, 10:20 AM

Thanks everyone. We will definitely give it a try. 6 days and counting

**mattnsharon** · July 12th, 2009, 02:12 PM

A person's life would be no less complete if they never saw most of the bodies out on Tower Island, but would be less complete for never having met the people.

**Jamaicaman** · July 12th, 2009, 02:57 PM

Good for you "drivinduo"!
We know that you'll have a BLAST!
KUDO's to you for keeping an open mind. We'll be anxious to read about your experience upon your return! As weird as this may sound....After experiencing the AN beach I think you feel less conscientious about yourself!

**timandlisa** · July 13th, 2009, 01:46 AM

I (the wifey) wanna try it too lol!! It is comforting to see all these posts... Wish us luck

Lisa and Tim

**RDYJMJM** · July 13th, 2009, 11:46 AM

I want to know what a perfect body looks like!

**driveinduo** · July 13th, 2009, 06:42 PM

Definitely not mine. I am just very self conscious. I am definitely going to give it a try.

I would like to add to this also that you would feel out of place if you wear your suit or keep a part of it on. (no you don't have to strip the minute you hit the dock. Find your chair, lay out towels get drinks, then disrobe.

**Jrlorio** · July 14th, 2009, 11:53 AM

Every"body" is perfect

**Jrlorio** · July 16th, 2009, 05:13 PM

Wow I killed the thread.

**guinnessguy** · July 16th, 2009, 05:36 PM

This will be our third trip to Jamaica and our second to CN. I keep telling my wife that we are going to the nude beach, if for no other reason , just to say we had the guts to do it. I guess we'll see how brave we get after a few drinks!She is less of a player for it than I am, so any advice on talking her into it will be appreciated! - chuck -

I just wanted to reply to this one. Last December 2008 my husband and I traveled to CSS with three other couples (one couple was his sister and brother in law) We all agreed that no one was going to the "Nude Side" Well we lied...

My hubby kept testing me and asked if I wanted to go to the nude beach. He was a bit surprised when I said "ok lets go" so we snuck off one afternoon while the others were on the regular beach, he kept thinking I would get half way there and turn around... I am not a perfect body and quite heavy so I have always been very self conscious of my body. I agreed to go if we could just slither onto the beach and find a place off to the side to hide. We did just that. Two minutes after we got there he wanted to parade up to the bar for a drink... I couldn't bring myself to get off the lounge so I watched him walk away, admiring him really for his guts. While he was gone... the Conga line started and was headed right in my direction. I was dying, praying they would turn around, they did, then the guy next to me started up a conversation with me which was equally uncomfortable for me.(don't talke to me, I'm nude) LOL. I didn't get up to Pee the whole time and believe me I was in a lot of pain. But you know what? in the end, it was a great experience, and I am glad we went. We are going back to CSS Sept 5-10 2009 cant wait and we will spend the entire time at the AU Naturel Beach. It really did help me to lose my inhibitions. I hope not to hide off to the side this time.

Go have fun enjoy...

**srimark** · July 18th, 2009, 12:51 PM

Listen... Not a person cares what the other person looks like. Just go and relax and Enjoy.... Do it the first day and you will be there everyday... DO not wait til the last day....

Mark and Michele...

**Debra** · July 20th, 2009, 09:28 AM

I am new to this, and can't figure it out. This message is for Katie & Dan and for Bearso. My boyfriend and I plan to be there the same time you are. Hopefully we can get together - assistant8@yahoo.com.

So to add to my story, since were going back in September we decided to go to a nude campground here at home to start tanning for our vacation. It was great. We lounged around in the water almost all day and had a picnic lunch on the beach. I am really not minding this at all. Now I am wicked excited to go to CSS in Sept

**guinnessguy** · July 20th, 2009, 05:51 PM

Thanks for sharing that story! That was hilarious - and I could see me in your husband's shoes. I'll keep bugging my wife and then she's going to say "let's go" just to shut me up and I'll have to go through with it just to save face.Will we men ever learn?? - chuck -

Go ahead and try it. By the time you've been there for a while, you won't give a damn. Perfect bodies are the exception, not the rule.
