“What Life Would Be Like If Eve Didn’t Bite The Apple - A Nudist Resort Experience”
According to the good book once Eve, one of our progenitor’s, ate the forbidden fruit, she and her husband were made aware of their nakedness. There were no negative connotations attached to being naked prior to this happening and most importantly everyone felt free. We come into this world naked, and from that moment on we are demanded to put clothes on but there are some places in this world where you can still live as if you’re in the garden of Eden without shame, judgment, or being sexually harassed.
Recently myself, my significant other, and a couple of our friends visited an AANR, American Association For Nude Recreation. This particular nudist Resort is located in Missouri which happens to be the state where we currently reside. Automatically, When we hear that there will be an environment where everyone is naked, our brains autopilot to thinking something sexual will take place or some big orgy will happen. Being nude doesn’t always equate to sex and that was one of the biggest lessons this experience taught me.
What is the purpose of nudist resorts?
Naturists/Nudists promote and enjoy wholesome nude recreational activities. In layman's terms, people do regular degular shit, but they’re naked. With that being said, just because you see individuals lounging around in their birthday suit doesn’t mean there’s someone getting a piece of the cake. As a matter of fact, some if not all nudist resorts have a set rule that sexual acts on resort grounds are prohibited and you will be asked to leave the premises if you’re caught. The environment of the park is not sexualized at all and the only people who make it out to be that way are typically the one’s who have never been. Naturists just simply enjoy every day activities and It erases the looking for an outfit factor. I think most of us can subscribe to that.
Is It Nudist or Naturist?
Nudist v. Naturist. Which one is it really? The answer is both. Some people prefer to be described or addressed as a naturist over a nudist and there’s really nothing more to it.
How I Found FAC
In June of 2023, I was about to google something and an article title caught my eye regarding a nude swimming pool in Missouri. I was shocked! I had no idea about it and I like to stay in the know and support all things sex or body positive. Initially I thought it was click bait but it turned out to be a legit place known as FAC (Forty Acres Club).
Apparently back in the 1950’s a group of couples from St. Louis were looking for a place to enjoy some sun to kiss their skin and a place that was out of the way. They discovered 40 acres of land in Franklin County, MO and they utilized their weekends creating campsites to stay overnight and a common area for the couples to meet up as a group and socialize.
70+ years later 40 acres has expanded into 80 acres and includes a swimming pool (on Saturday’s there are water volleyball games held), a jacuzzi, mini golf course, wooded hiking trails, a pool table, Wii gaming system, pickleball courts with lighting for night time play, horseshoe pits, dart pavilion, petanque court (some shit I never heard of until then), A community building to watch t.v., play board games (there are some provided or you can bring your own), a ping pong table and more! Yes I said more.
Word play is very important for our brains so when people hear the word resort they automatically think beaches, sand, and palm trees but this is in Missouri people so let’s get that imagery out of our heads. Going forward for reading purposes we will call this place a naturist/nudist outdoor park.
My First Experience At A Naturist Park
As previously stated the park is located in Franklin county, MO which is an hour away from St. Louis so the drive wasn’t too bad. We left out at 11 a.m. and arrived at Noon. Don’t let your mind start to trick you on the drive up because as you get closer to the park, there are many right and left turns, and it starts to feel like you’re going to end up in the boonies on a farm. Your brain will start to think “Maybe this GPS is wrong because ain’t no m’fuckin way it’s anything for me to enjoy out this deep in the middle of no where” but I promise your GPS knows what it’s talking about. Trust it and continue. Upon arrival you turn onto a gravel road rolling over all these tiny little rocks and then you’re stopped at a gate. The indication that you are in the right place is a sign next to the gate that says “Welcome to Forty Acres Club” with the letters AANR association underneath and to the left of you is a buzzer system with a sign that reads “The buzzer is currently broken, please call 636…..” followed by the number. My anxiety was through the fucking roof at this point because we’re in what feels like the middle of nowhere and now we have to call to get into this place. Looking back in retrospect I really appreciate the privacy and security of the resort ensuring no one can just drive up. So I called and said “Hi! I’m here outside of the gate looking to visit with my partner” and the voice on the other side of the phone says “Alrighty! Well come on up to the office and we’ll be waiting for you” a few seconds later the gate slides on over and we are able to drive through.
Once we drove past the gate, to to the left of us was what I found out later, one of the leasing spaces for those who come with their RV’s and stay overnight or longer. To our right was a house and I thought “Does someone live over here?” Man was I in for a surprise. As we drove up a little bit more we noticed the little blue building with a sign that read “The Office” so we knew we were going in the right direction. As we pull up to the office there is a couple unpacking some things out of their RV and they’re 100% naked. At this point I’m like “Oh fuck! We really ‘bout to do this” meanwhile my boyfriend is over the roof excited like “Okay! We really ‘bout to do this m’fucka!” and I have to have a pep talk with myself to relax a little because clearly this m’fucka is more excited than I am and I need to match his energy.
We got out of the car after we parked to step inside of the office and meet the gentlemen who greeted us over the phone. Funny thing is, typically you feel out of place if you’re under-dressed in an environment where people have on clothes. I felt out of place because the people around us that we had seen so far were naked and we had on clothes. The gentleman whom I spoke with is one of the board of directors and has been a member for about 5 years. As soon as we walked inside I noticed he was shirtless and as I got closer to the desk I noticed he had his whole dick and balls out! This man was completely naked. It was trippy as fuck for sure but I also thought to myself “Alright! There ain’t no turning back now, this what we doing”
When you check in for the first time, whether you stay overnight or just visit for the day, you do need to provide an unexpired drivers license so your identity can be verified and a background check can be run. The rest of your visits you won’t need to provide your driver's license because you will already be in the system. After passing the background check, assuming you will, you will be presented with a paper about the rules and regulations of the resort, asked to sign agreeing that you understand, and then you pay. For couples you pay one price, not per person so we paid a total of $36.00!!!!! Fun fact about this price, we were told that we got a “youth discount” There aren’t any senior citizen discounts but because they don’t get very many young people we got a whole ass discount. That was funny! We paid 4 or 5 bucks cheaper than what our friends paid and what we were expecting to pay. I was shocked but we definitely didn’t argue about it. When our friends finished their process the wife of the gentleman who checked us in told us that she was going to take us on a tour of the resort/park after we got undressed. She also let us know that phones are to stay inside of the car because pictures and videos are not allowed at the park. An exception was made for us to keep our phones inside of our bags, as long as they were not visible, especially for photograph purposes. Another specified rule was that this is NOT a clothing optional park but a nudist one so you need to be entirely naked!
We got to the car and my boyfriend opened up the car doors so we could grab our bag with our personal items. I had him remove my dress and initially it was a funny feeling because we’ve only done this in the bedroom but here we are out in butt fuck Missouri letting it all hang out in broad daylight. Shit was mad wild at first but then once my dress came off it was totally fine. Nobody came out of the woodworks and was like “Ohhhhhh shit! She naked!” It was nothing. It was….normal. Once bae got fully undressed we put sunscreen and bug spray on. I aint want a single mosquito bite on my ass or coochie! Nowhere really but especially not my golden areas. Imagine me about to get hit from the back and it’s a big mosquito bite on my ass or even worse one on my labia and I'm sitting there scratching. It’s a no for me honey. The ambassador’s name who showed us around was Melissa. Ms. Melissa was very friendly and she told us to bring a towel. “Bring your towels everywhere you go so you can sit on them. We don’t want you sitting on anything bare” Shit that was respected and I was gonna do that anyway so my bare vagina wasn’t sitting on the ground, chairs, etc. We did two separate tours because only 4 people could fit on the golf cart where we would be sitting for tour purposes so the other couple stayed back to get undressed.
First, she showed us how to get out when we’re ready to leave so that if no one was around we didn’t feel as if we were being held hostage. I appreciated that. Then we went on to see the leasing spaces with the Rv’s and it was explained to us that those people basically live here in their RV and pay to lease that space. There are water and electric hook ups for those sites. We then spun around and turned onto another gravel road behind the office and I saw what looked like houses/cabins. They were more living spaces where members only pay $1,000 a year to live!!!!! And if you don’t pay it all at once you can pay 5 payments of $200 throughout the year. Some people pay that shit in a month for an apartment. I was mind blown. They weren’t the fanciest of houses but they were full blown on living spaces for dirt cheap and you can just walk outside and be naked.
Once we surpassed the cabin like homes we were shown the salt water swimming pool where most of the community hangs out, the petanque court, and the tennis/pickleball court. If guests or members want to go for a night swim or enjoy a night time game of tennis there’s lights to surround the area. Over to the right there were more houses that people lived in! And we saw the entryway to the wooded hiking trail. I saw a man casually walk out of his house, down the front lawn, and towards the pool butt ass naked. That must be the fucking life to just wake up, do your hygiene, and go!
Next door to the swimming pool there was a community building where dinners are held for the members that live there and the ones who are visiting, a 50 inch tv, a wii gaming system, a bunch of games, a pool table, and a couple more things to entertain guests including a patio area! When we left out of the clubhouse there was an older gentleman on a golf cart smoking a doobie next to his wife. That was pretty cool. While we are here I want to give the disclaimer that you do need to check with the park’s ambassadors and members to see about smoking. I’m not sure if it’s the same policy for visitors v. members so always ask. Better to be safe than sorry. Next to the patio was a hangout spot known as “The hawg pit” and in the winter time it is enclosed with a screen and heaters to keep everyone warm. Ms. Melissa informed us that on Saturdays and certain Sundays there is food is for sale in case you get hungry. On the menu includes but is not limited too the following: Cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chicken etc. Not too far from the hawg pit is a small building that is essentially a kitchen. It has a microwave, refrigerator and there is water inside for sale. They have an honesty system where you just put your dollar inside of the cup as payment and grab your water bottle. There’s also an ice cream freezer you can grab ice cream out of and ice bags for sale if you need to throw some in the cooler! Feel free to throw some liquor in your cooler also because there’s none for sale on site of the park. On the backside of the community building were outdoor showers. Yes you read that right, outdoor showers and it was amazing! But I’ll get to that later on. On the other side of the outdoor showers were 4 restrooms. As we continued our tour there were even more homes that people lived in. We saw a friendly old lady sitting in her wheelchair butt ass naked with a cast on her leg. She was happy to see people rolling by, she waved and gave the most comforting old lady smile. It was cute! There were tent spaces for guests/visitors who wanted to pitch a tent and stay overnight. 8 of them to be exact. 2 of them have electric hook ups and all of them have water. And in the middle of the hiking trail there were more spaces to congregate and enjoy nature. Surprisingly what blew my mind the most was not the fact that we were all nude but how many people lived out here! These people just decided to pack their shit up one day and be like “Yeah I wanna live at a naturist park” I think everyone should unlock that level of freedom at least once in their life. These were all older people of course so I didn’t see younger people with families but these people are definitely enjoying their latter years.
Speaking of families these types of resorts/parks are considered family friendly so children are allowed. I wouldn’t want anyone to be caught off guard if they see a naked child and think to call the police on these people thinking it’s some other shit going on. Now if you see any signs that a child is in danger and something is off follow your gut but a regular bubbly kid running around is authorized in these environments. However, we didn’t see any children during our trip so the information above is for your own personal knowledge of course.
Before our tour was over the ambassador made it very clear that if anyone made us feel uncomfortable come and let her, her husband or any other member know. She also reassured us that they don’t have issues like that, she just wanted to let us know that if we ever felt out of place we could voice it and that certain behaviors are not tolerated. The tour concluded and we waited in the car for our friends to finish theirs.
We were only there for about 30-45 minutes at that point but whatever worries, doubts, or preconceived notions we had all went away. Everyone we encountered or drove past on the tour waved with warm smiles, spoke to us, was very welcoming, it was just amazing honestly to feel so free and welcomed. We were the youngest couple there, our skin color was different, yet none of that mattered. We were all enjoying this atmosphere together and basking in freedom. No one cared about the rolls you have on your back, or that your dick wasn’t on hard and at mandingo status, nobody cared that this person’s boobs may have been bigger than another’s or this person’s butt wasn’t the same size as the next. It was so carefree and just…..FREE! I mean sure you’re titties may be out but when we are having conversation it flows as it does when we have clothes on. I’m not staring you down and vice versa.
After our friends concluded their tour we headed over to shower before getting in the pool. I know right, we washed all that sunscreen and bug spray off because we didn’t wait to apply it after our showers like big dummies. Prior to me coming I thought that all of the showers and bathrooms would have these old dirty gym locker room looks and smells because the establishment is older but it was not that! The bathrooms and shower areas were nice and clean. I was happy about that because chile, I can’t do no dirty bathrooms, or areas in general. Now it’s no 5 star resort and you can tell that this place came together in the 1950’s based off of the old wallpaper on the inside but we spent most of our time outdoors anyway. And when a place is clean and functions well, It doesn’t always matter. We utilized the outdoor showers and my God it was amazing!!! There were 4 shower heads next to each other, each with their own shower caddy hanging over with some soap in case you forgot your own. Even though it was a good 90 degrees outside we still turned our water on warm/hot temperatures and showered together like it was nobody’s business because in actuality…it wasn’t. I’ve showered together with my partner but not outdoors in the open. This was different. This was a new level of intimacy unlocked for both of us. We were all just showering, washing up and talking like we do this on the daily. The showering together part, not the showering in general because that part we do okayyyyy! Now the next part was liberating as hell because typically when you’re done showering at home you dry yourself off with a towel, wrap yourself up and head to your bedroom to get moisturized and dressed. Baaabbbyyy we finished our showers, put up our soap and washcloths and headed straight to the pool! It felt so good to turn the shower off and just walk off into the sun, bodies dripping with water all while the sun kissed our skin. Now THAT is next level!!
Outside of the pool gate is a sign that says “Nude beyond this point” or “Nude only” either way, you get the drift and there’s no need to worry about what bathing suit you’ll wear to this pool. The pool area has a shower inside as well so that if you’re going from the salt water pool to the jacuzzi you don’t mix the chemicals from the pool into the hot tub. Or if you’re just heading out of the pool for the day you can shower and head off to the tennis court, hiking trail, or wherever your next destination may be.
Right next to the shower is a couple of bins with floaties and noodles. The pool is no more than 6 feet deep and the temperature was perfect upon entry. It wasn’t like your usual pool environment, aside from the obvious fact that everyone was naked. It wasn’t loud, no kids were running around, no one was noisy, there was no music, it was just……..calm. Men floated and swam and they’re dicks floated right above the water. Women were in the pool using their titties as floaties and it was just relaxing. Several couples were off to the side sitting or tanning on pool chairs, one man was reading a book, me, my significant other, and our friends were just talking about our goals and speaking with members of the park. Almost everyone welcomed us and asked if this was our first time. They made us feel like we belonged and almost everyone had the same experience. They came out to visit years ago and and have been coming back ever since.
After a few hours in the pool me and my boyfriend went to shower together again. We decided afterwards that we were going to lay out on the pool chairs. I tried laying in the sun so my buns could catch some sunrays from above but my thoughts about getting skin cancer and feeling like an oven baked raisin wouldn’t let me do that shit too much longer so I took my ass in the shade honey. After about 20 relaxing minutes in the shade I rolled over on my back, put my feet together, and had my whooooollle coochie out!! It felt good!! It felt liberating! In that moment so much energy radiated through my body and I felt some sort of kinetic supercharge. Could have been super powers, or it could have been rays from the peek of sun coming through the trees but I will go with the superpower theory for now. I felt such a sense of serenity that I’ve felt only a few other times in my life. I didn’t have to swat away many bugs, the air quality was better and my allergies weren’t acting up, I felt secure laying next to my man and it felt like we were at home. Our phones didn’t matter, social media was nonexistent, it was just us vs. the present moment. I would classify it as a bonding moment and new heights for our relationship for sure. I’ve never done anything like this before and neither has my boyfriend so it was a great first time experience for us both.
We didn’t get to the hiking trails or anything else that day. It was something so damn peaceful about that pool and the aura around it, that’s all we could enjoy.
Dinner was decided upon so we grabbed our bags. Our final victory lap for the day was to the car and we debated on driving home naked. It was definitely a certain part of the day where it was challenging for me and my man to see each other naked and not have sex because that’s the only time we see each other that way aside from the 5 minutes after we get out of the shower but our clothes go right on. That was the teachable moment for me when we rechanneled that sexual energy while being naked. We ended up getting dressed and drove to the restaurant where we would have dinner and it’s safe to say we will be going back and becoming members.
What Does Becoming A Member Look Like?
If you want to try out the naturist park prior to joining you get 3 visits, if you want to continue visiting after your third one, you will need to become a member of AANR at that point. Something else we learned during our visit is that one visit could be over the course of one week. So for example, if you visit for the entire weekend Friday-Sunday that’s classified as one visit. Even if you don’t stay overnight and you leave to come back to the park the following day.
First, you get your AANR member card. Secondly, As a member you get member access to all adult nudist resorts in the United States totaling up to 46 different states/provinces not to mention there are some out of the country! Some resorts are newer so you may be more aesthetically pleased than you would at some of the older ones but honestly you spend most of the time outdoors and it’s such a nice relaxing vibe. Not only do you gain access to the resorts but so does your guests and family members at discounted rates, you get to exercise the use of leasing spaces whether it’s one of the homes I talked about earlier or RV spaces as well as several other exclusive perks.
Also, the parks are open year round to members only but to visitors it’s available April-September or October-ish. Check with your local AANR organization to see what months are open to non members. There is a link below to their website to find the necessary information. When it gets cold, don’t worry because there’s a wood fire pit and chairs to gather around outside of the community building. Feel free to make smores, grilled hot dogs, or just snuggle around the campfire. It’s also a good thing to know that just because you are a member does not mean you have to live at the resort/park. You can visit every weekend if you want, make it your summer home, the choice is yours regarding the frequency of visits!
The couples membership price at Forty Acres Club is only $850.00 USD! That’s NOT per person, that's per COUPLE! You also don’t have to pay it at once, you can make separate payments. The events and dances that are held in the community building are available to visitors and members, group dinners are eaten together and more.
It’s like your own little community or world of people who embrace the way we came into this world!
The Best Parts
I feel it’s only right to give honorable mentions to the cleanliness of the resort! Nothing was dirty and that is something I’m thankful for.
The friendliness of EVERYONE. Not a single bad vibe and that is always a bonus
The privacy and security of the park. We were in our own little world beyond those gates
The air quality. When you’re not around industrialized areas with a bunch of cars giving off pollution and other factors that give off carbon dioxide you can just breathe better.
Enjoying the present and not worrying about “Oh let me get this picture or capture this for my story” You were forced to enjoy the moment and believe me it wasn’t hard at all.
The members that live there really uphold the standards of the community and making sure everyone feels comfortable. You definitely get the vibe they won’t tolerate any unfriendly or perverted behavior and I love that!
Nothing Was The Same
I always felt I was a nudist at heart because of my disliking for clothes and having to put together outfits on the daily but AFTER the resort I DEFINITELY did not want to wear clothing!!! Taking a shower is not the same, getting in the pool won’t be the same. No experience I had at that park will be the same in the outside world. My advice…everyone should be comfortable in the skin they're in and try it at least once. Everyone deserves to feel that level of liberation.
