Have You Ever Been Watched While Enjoying Yourself?

[Babatunde]

My wife and I are naturists, embracing the freedom of nudity in nature, and we often holiday at naturist resorts. A few years ago, during a trip to Cap d’Agde, a famous naturist town in the south of France, we happened upon an area of the beach where a crowd had gathered.


Out of curiosity, we joined the onlookers and quickly realized that we had wandered into the swingers' section of the beach. This unexpected discovery sparked a fascination for us, and over the days, we found ourselves drawn back to watch the unfolding scenes, along with other curious beachgoers.


As I watched, I sometimes found myself physically responding, and my wife would head back to our spot, leaving me to enjoy the moment. Watching others and occasionally pleasuring myself became a new, thrilling experience for both of us. It was exhilarating to be in an open environment where others, too, were freely expressing their sexuality.


One particularly memorable day, we found a couple engaging intimately in a quieter spot, with only a few onlookers around. For the first time, we joined the experience together, watching and pleasuring ourselves side by side. We were even invited to join in but declined, feeling that sharing our own intimate moments with the surroundings was thrill enough.


For us, this experience brought a fresh layer of excitement and a deeper sense of freedom. It was our shared adventure into something unexpected and was as much a discovery of our own desires as it was a memorable holiday experience.

That sounds like an incredible experience! My partner and I have explored a few nudist resorts and beaches over the years, but we’ve never been to one quite as open as Cap d’Agde. There’s something so liberating about being in those environments, where people are free and comfortable in their own skin. The idea of watching or being watched is definitely something we’ve toyed with, though we haven’t fully gone there yet.

One time, we found ourselves on a quieter part of a beach in Croatia. We weren’t in a swingers’ area, but the beach was secluded, and we felt more relaxed. We didn’t realize that a few people were watching us from a distance until much later. At first, I was embarrassed, but then I realized it actually added to the experience. My partner and I laughed about it afterward, and it definitely brought a new spark to our time together.

We’ve talked about returning to a similar spot and perhaps leaning into that sense of being watched, as it was surprisingly exciting. The thought of having an audience, even if we’re just in our own little world, is oddly thrilling. We’re not looking to turn it into a regular thing, but knowing that people might appreciate the connection we share adds a new dimension.

It’s all about comfort zones and what you’re willing to explore. We found that little push helped us feel more open and playful with each other. I think experiences like this can help couples connect on another level if both are open to it!

I totally get where you’re coming from. My partner and I are also naturists, and we love the feeling of freedom that comes with being in nature without any barriers. We’ve done a few holidays at nudist resorts, and I think it’s a safe space to explore whatever interests might arise. Like you, we’ve sometimes found ourselves in spaces where people are a bit more…expressive, let’s say. It was surprising at first, but we soon realized there’s no judgment in these places.

Last year, we were in a resort in Spain where, much like Cap d’Agde, there were areas where people gathered to watch or be watched. At first, we just wandered by, but eventually, the atmosphere got to us, and we decided to stay for a while. Watching others express themselves freely was like a celebration of openness that made us feel a lot closer as a couple.

Over time, we got comfortable enough to engage in our own intimate moments on a secluded spot of the beach, though we weren’t actively trying to be seen. If someone happened to be nearby, we didn’t mind. Knowing others could be around added a bit of excitement without needing to go beyond our own boundaries.

To anyone curious, I’d say try it in a place that respects everyone’s comfort levels. There’s no pressure to do more than you’re ready for. It can be a great way to explore shared desires in a new and thrilling way.

I haven’t had the chance to try something quite like this yet, but your story sounds amazing. I think there’s something really intriguing about being in a situation where it’s accepted to watch and be watched, especially in such a natural and open environment. I’m single, so my experiences are a bit different, but I’ve always wondered how it would feel to be part of such a setting with a future partner.

A few years ago, I visited a naturist beach in Greece. There wasn’t any overt activity going on, but there was an energy of freedom that made me more aware of myself and my surroundings. I think it’s natural to respond to that, and I found myself much more in touch with my body and thoughts. Even though I was just sunbathing, the sense of others around me made me feel more connected and open.

Reading about your experience makes me want to explore this more deeply. I think it would be incredible to share that kind of freedom with someone and see where it takes us. It’s like being given permission to be present in your body without any social restrictions.

If I get the chance, I’d love to find a similar place to Cap d’Agde and see where that adventure leads. I imagine it would be both liberating and bonding, especially with someone special by your side.

What a fascinating experience! My husband and I aren’t naturists per se, but we do enjoy the occasional clothing-optional beach when we’re on vacation. We’re not too keen on being the center of attention ourselves, but watching others in a natural environment is definitely interesting. It’s like seeing a different side of human connection—free of judgment and barriers.

One time, while we were at a small beach in Portugal, we found ourselves in a more secluded area where a couple was openly enjoying themselves. At first, we felt like intruders, but they seemed completely comfortable, almost as if they were inviting a shared experience just by being so open. We didn’t engage, but we couldn’t help but be drawn into their energy. It sparked some interesting conversations between us about openness and trust.

The thrill of it all lingered with us. Later that night, my husband and I found ourselves reconnecting with a new level of intensity. It’s amazing how seeing others freely express themselves can make you realize how much there is to explore within your own relationship.

So while we’re not looking to dive headfirst into the world of naturism, this experience taught us that there’s value in stepping out of our comfort zones now and then. It brought us closer together and reminded us how shared curiosity can reignite the spark in a relationship.

This is such an interesting topic, and I think it’s great to see people sharing their experiences so openly. I haven’t been to a naturist beach, but I can imagine how the atmosphere of freedom and openness could be really enticing. I’ve often thought that it would be fascinating to see others in an intimate setting, as it might help you feel more comfortable with your own experiences.

I remember one time while staying at a resort, there was a hot tub area where a couple seemed very close. No one was obviously watching, but there was definitely an unspoken understanding in the air. I didn’t stay long, but it made me think about how unique these experiences can be—almost like catching a glimpse of something beautiful and raw that we rarely see in daily life.

While I don’t know if I’d ever want to be watched, I can see why people are drawn to it. There’s a certain thrill in being open about our desires, and it seems to allow couples to strengthen their bond in a way that’s both exciting and intimate. Watching someone else express their love or passion can also make you reflect on your own relationships and experiences.

I’m glad to see this forum offers a space to discuss topics like these. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to intimacy, and hearing everyone’s stories makes me feel more open to exploring what might work for me in the future.
