Hello. I'm new here.
« on: November 05, 2023, 10:45:12 PM »
Bill from San Francisco here. I've been to nude beaches and a naturist club and nude hiking sounds fantastic. My only concern is that I like to stay out of the sun as much as possible (even wearing light-weight long-sleve shirts and long pants hiking). I'm thinking about how I'm going to manage the sun exposure. I've never even put sunscreen on my back because I never expose it to strong sun. Maybe I'll hike before 10 and after 4, or even at night. Or just run fast, which I can do.

Welcome.  Why do you avoid sunshine?    Vitamin D is very good for our health, and only produced by sun on our skin. 

I never use toxic chemical sunblock either.  I start out with an hour or two of sunshine each spring, and by summer I'm good all day.  Sunshine is healthy for most people.  Why do you avoid it?

I try to avoid sun because I don't want skin cancer or my skin to be damaged by the sun.

What is your complexion? Most people don't have these issues, if you just be moderate about exposure, so you don't get burned and build up a base tan. Sun screen chemicals are hard on your skin and body. The toxicity has been linked to cancer and perhaps wrinkles. Get some shea butter for skin softness, if that is your choice. Perhaps what you eat has to do with sensitivity; look into that. People are not supposed to be allergic to the sun, or we might not have survived so long. Is your skin ghostly white? Some people are sensitive. Your common doctor's advise is alarmist quackery and wholly baseless. Some "experts" are on the big pharma dole. Other doctors who actually look at the study information will tell you differently.

The sun can be exceptionally intense here in Arizona between 11am and 1PM. Your strategy of early and late may work for you. Having lived in your area and frequenting several nude beaches there. You have more cloudy and drizzly days than not and that coastal fog each morning. It is hard to find the time to be naked. I found it hard to burn there, even though I spent the majority of my time in clothing...That along with SAD and other considerations, I moved to the sun.

When I hike, I have a wrap for my shoulders and upper back. There is more likelihood of a burn there (direct rays) and a bill of a hat to protect my nose. I relish not wearing those, but some days, some times It is so intense that I can burn. My girlfriend, DF, just gets darker at those times.

Something tells me that I don't understand your comment, but I've found that it is futile to try and outrun the sun. ;D
Unless you run from shade to shade, like running from a cold rain.

Yes.  That is a fear we have been told for years by sunscreen marketing corporations.  A lot of research shows that the vitamin D our skin produces from sun exposure fights cancers all over our bodies including skin cancer.  Sunshine vitamin D is very good for our overall health.

I'm very glad to hear that the sun is not as risky as I thought.

I got my vitamin D within range by adding a well sourced raw egg to my most days smoothie and getting lots of sun, which I was pretty much already getting. The body naturally uses cholesterol and sun to produce it (another medical faddish lie is the cholesterol scare) Sun is good for you. It keeps away a sunburn, if used properly. I think that the entire body likes it. It is a positive effect. That is why it feels so amazingly good to be nude under it. The whole bodily system communicates and agrees that it is good. Vitamin D has many benefits. My skin is smooth after 7 decades of lots of sun, DF even smoother (her age a secret). There is a genetic component, predisposition and how that gets expressed. I know Nuduke has to be very careful. He might speak up about that in time.
