Dale: Hi Jackie, Thanks for talking with us today
Jackie: I’m happy to be here.
Dale: Ok, Let’s get started. Can you tell me why you like
Naturism?
Jackie: Oh well, we nudists think there is no shame in any part
of our body, so we just go nude and enjoy the Sun wind on us.
Dale: Oh I agree. I've been a Nudist for about 12 years now
where I live in Jamaica but there aren't many nudist places here except at a
few high end resorts. I agree that the
feeling of being nude outside is great.
Jackie: Luckily we have one nice nude beach, and we go for Saturday
nude swims at the swimming pools.
Dale: It's nice that you have somewhere that you can have
nude recreation. How long have you been a nudist?
Jackie: Ok, I’ve been nudist for 30+ yrs but regularly for
17 yrs since I’ve lived where I am the last 17 yrs
Dale: Oh, 30 years, that's cool. You must have some really
interesting stories. Were you very self-conscious about your body before you
became a nudist? Did you think that you needed to lose weight or do something
else before you became a nudist? Please relate how Nudism may have helped you
overcome body Image issues and promote body acceptance
Jackie: I’ve been in pretty good shape. Even if I'm not it
won't bother me. I’ve seen may big figures among nudists. Real nudists aren’t
bothered about how you look. And no stories as such....but few men were a bit
nasty. They don't know what Nudism is. I wasn't conscious about getting nude
the first time. I studied Art so I didn't feel shy because I was used to
drawing nude figures.
Dale: Oh you studied Art. That’s nice. I’m a Musician. I
play the keyboards. Speaking about your first time, my first time going
socially nude was in 2008 at one of the nude resorts to the North of Jamaica.
Can you tell the story of how you first went socially nude? What kind of
setting was it? Who were you with? What
was it like?
Jackie: We had friends, a couple in LA. That was 30 yrs ago
I started. Went to 3 resorts. Then I went to a nude vacation in the Netherlands
18yrs ago with my ex-husband and my two kids. Now my daughter goes with me to the
nude beach. I raised both my children as nudists but my son stopped going nude at
13. He is 22 now. He got out of Nudism.
Dale: Well it's good to be able to share the experience with
your daughter and who knows, your son may come back to it in the future. What is the general social culture where you
are now living when it comes to nudity especially where religion is concerned?
Do you find that there are many religious minded persons in your society now
who may have a difficulty practicing nudism because they may think it's sinful,
causes persons to lust etc.? Or perhaps your society is generally quite forward
thinking and open to many liberal ideas?
Jackie: We do have conservative people, but generally, where
I am is quite open minded. We have a nude beach and people are ok with it. Actually
only like 12% nudists there, females are fewer. Rest are clothed. I came out
openly about my nudism few years ago. I don't care what other people think. A few
years ago few of us went topless in a city park and people were ok with it. Top
free is legal here but not many persons do it.
Dale: Alright, that’s all the questions for now. Thanks very
much for participating. I really appreciate it
Jackie: That’s cool I’m happy to have been a part of it.
