My need/reason for having my cell phone with me is reletad to my job.  I work for a manufacturing company that runs 24/7 in multiple sites across the country. I routinely have to be on call and must always be available in case of software issues that can cost millions of dollars if not corrected quickly.  All I want to be able to do is CARRY my cell phone with me, in a enclosed way (zipper pocket of my towel, a bag on a string around my neck). I don't want to get it OUT and USE IT, but I must be able to look to see if a text or phone call from work has come in.I respect the desire of my fellow nudists/naturists to not be concerned about pictures or perhaps worse.. having someone sitting by them while they are relaxing in the warm sun who is constantly talking, texting, gabbing, with someone one the phone.  Perhaps even just across the pool!  UGH  But what is the harm in carrying my phone, in a pouch? Then if a text or call comes in, removing myself to a designated  use' area to make/receive calls and respond to texts.I agree with Melissa however, the true problem is BEHAVIOR not technology.

Melissa,I just found your site for the first time. This is the first article of yours that I have read, and am 100% in agenrmeet. I am not a female, wait , let me check. Yep, I am male (I thought that was cute) so I have different issues regarding nudism. I am currently writing a research paper on body acceptance for college, and will be cruising through your archives for good material. I will ask before borrowing anything. Who knows, maybe you will use some of my matrial.Douglas

I find the only true way to make it work would go against the idea of nisudm and freedom itself, I mean imagine if you will you enter through the gate to your local nude resort and upon doing so your asked or told you must hand over cell phones that have photo taking ability and you get a tag in return so it would almost be like a valet for your phone! actually that might work very well. I would have no issue turning in my phone like that being if I am there to relax nude the phone is just a modern distraction that is not needed. So to everyone promote the phone valet method to your resort or club. It very well could work.
