I Dont Understand Intolerance to Nudity

Portland Loves Nudity

In Portland, there are TONS of nude events. My personal favorite from this year was the Nude Bike Ride series. There were 3 or 4, but the largest was all throughout downtown Portland.... hundreds of nude cyclists and literally thousands of spectators crowding the sides of the street along the route.

Also, you are allowed to be nude anywhere in Oregon as long as you aren't sexually harassing anyone. Which honestly seems a little too open to interpretation to me, but whatever.

My favorite couple of nude hangouts are Collins Beach on Sauvie Island and Bagby Hot Springs, which is about 70 miles southeast of Portland.

    I like that it is legal to be nude in Oregon, but how many people actually do live naked?

    Mind you, there seem to be plenty of places where nudity is accepted as normal, and of course you've so much wide open space there it would be easy just loose yourself out in the wilds whenever the fancy took you.

    I was going to say there's enough space around houses that you could be naked all over your property, but if it's legal, it doesn't matter if anyone sees you.

    Can I move to Oregon please?

    Uh oh, the word is out now. I can envision a mass influx of nudists into the state of Oregon accompanied by a distinct decline in clothing sales statewide. Following that, Oregon will line up behind Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida in the states having the largest concentration of nudists! (Humorous sidenote!)

    Ditto to what IndyJoe said! I feel the same way about my state of residence, Iowa!



    I am looking forward to when I can afford to fly to Oregon and enjoy the various nudist activities there!

    Yeah, I definitely agree! I moved here about a year ago from Oklahoma, which is a huge change for sure.... definitely a positive one and I really didn't expect the totally casual attitude toward nudity, but hooray!

    WOW!!!! I wish that Virginia was more open toward casual and simple nudity like Oregon. You're fortunate to live there.
