We've had a stretch of days with temperatures topping 90°, and I noticed while updating my guide to New England nudist resorts that one even offers nude belly dancing classes (belly dancing is great for your wrists if you spend as much time at a computer as I do!). I've never been more tempted to give vacationing in the buff a try!Whether you're a seasoned nudist or you've wanted to experience the freedom of clothing optional recreation for the first time, here are 10 New England campgrounds, resorts and inns that cater to the less than fully clothed.
Poll: Would you stay at a nudist resort? Cast your vote, and see what others are saying. Is your wife the only thing standing between you and a nude vacation?

You ask “Is your wife the only thing standing between you and a nude vacation?” Why not ask “Is your husband the only thing standing between you and a nude vacation?” In my experience, many women are open to the idea but find that their husbands have fears of “inadequacy”.
Hi Art,
Thanks for offering a different perspective. In posing the question, I was referring to a comment in the discussion thread that accompanies the poll… from a reader who said: “Yes, but I’m afraid my wife wouldn’t let me.”
