Nudist who dined naked with strangers says everyone should do it

It’s one thing to have dinner with people you don’t know, but to do it naked… well that is just a whole other level of daring that most people would never consider.

However, for popular nude blogger Jessa O’Brien, that was exactly what she decided to do one day, and now she deems it an experience that everyone should be trying.

In a recent blog post, the 28-year-old detailed the time she visited a nudist resort in Noosa, Queensland, and shared a meal with a married couple she just met, with “everything out there for all to see”.

“Unlike at most other places you go to for a getaway, instead of leaving my room clothed, I completely undressed myself and strolled on out to the outdoor area naked as could be,” Jessa wrote.

From there she met the couple from Gladstone, and after quickly getting acquainted, she sat down for dinner with them, enjoying what she says was a liberating experience.

Some of you have asked what a 'naturist' is… Whilst I'm not one to get too caught up in labels (excuse the pun), there seems to be a debate about what the definitive definition of 'naturism' is. According to the 'International Naturist Federation', " Naturism is a way of life in harmony with nature characterised by the practice of communal nudity with the intention of encouraging self-respect, respect for others and for the environment". I don't agree that one definition suits all, but it is a concept to grasp. A concept that may allow a deeper understanding of certain lifestyle choices. For me, being naked goes deep, really deep. There is so much more to us than just this body. To know me, you must be able to see beyond my physicality. My body is just a blip in space and time through which consciousness is experiencing itself. So you could never truly judge me according to my body. My soul can tell you things my body never could. For those moments I am naked, I am free from the disguises of my clothing, from the masquerade of branding, free from the impermanence of materialism and at one with the infinite divinity of being. I am here to pledge my commitment to promoting body positivity. Freedom. Equality. My nudity is not here to promote sexualisation of the human body, nor is it here to entertain your judgement. However you choose to perceive my nudity is a reflection of your own conditioning. But remember, perspective is not fixed. It is not permanent. Perspective is a matter of perspective is a matter of perspective is a matter of perspective. . . #naturism #naturist #meaning #nudity #nude #naked #lifestyle #bodypositivity #body #freedom #acceptance #nonsexual #natural #perspective #humpday

“Sitting outside in the sunshine, listening to the birds sing, surrounded by trees, a pool and spa a stone’s throw away, all accompanied by great conversation; I was in my own little paradise,” Jessa said.

“I stopped to think about how odd this would seem to most other people…the fact that I was sitting there completely naked discussing politics and whatnot with a couple I had met only fifteen minutes prior.”

However, according to Jessa, those that haven’t tried the nudist lifestyle are really missing out on a good thing.

“I wondered what had prompted them to start frequenting nudist resorts. They disclosed that it all started off when the wife lost a bet. As a joke, they went to a nudist resort. “

| NEW BLOG: DINING NAKED WITH STRANGERS | Yes, I’ve done exactly what the title reads…dined naked with complete strangers 😁 Everything out there for all to see as I sat there scoffing down my dinner…not one part of our bodies clothed. Given I was wearing no clothing, the only thing separating my ass and the chair was a towel, a hygiene measure in place at most nudist resorts. Sitting outside in the sunshine, listening to the birds sing, surrounded by trees, a pool and spa a stone’s throw away, all accompanied by great conversation; I was in my own little paradise ☀️🌻🌈🐤🦋 Perhaps fifteen minutes into my conversation with a married couple from Gladstone, I stopped to think about how odd this would seem to most other people…the fact that I was sitting there completely naked discussing politics and whatnot with a couple I had met only fifteen minutes prior 🤔… Read more by clicking the link in my bio 🙌🏽 PS.. I wrote this piece in April 2016, before I ever launched my blog…all whilst it was still an idea in the making! 😮 I had always planned on this post being the first I published, but it didn't happen, and just continued to sit there in my long list of notes and posts…until now 😁🙌🏽 Meeting this couple, and the rest of my experience that weekend in January 2016, was what actually gave me the idea to start 'The Nude Blogger' as we know it now 👊🏼 The idea was to open up and discuss my more 'taboo' experiences to help broaden others' perspectives and encourage tolerance and diversity by allowing them the opportunity (through my writing and sharing) to understand others' lifestyle choices. So here it is! Enjoy 😘 Xx . . #naturism #nudism #lifestyle #taboo #nudist #resort #summer #perception #conscious #tolerance #diversity #respect #unity #nonjudgement #share #blog #awareness #health #yoga #yogi #vegan #australia

“Not what they had anticipated, and thinking it would be funny, they quickly came to realise what the rest of us know all too well… The comfort, freedom and liberty in going nude in a social and non-judgmental environment.”

And now, the three of them have never looked back since.

It was this one encounter that inspired Jessa to start ‘The Nude Blogger’ where she hopes to remove the taboo around nudist experiences and help broaden others’ perspectives regarding people’s lifestyle choices.
