South East Community Sun Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the rules of SEC Sun Club ?

The club has very few rules, basically all we ask is to respect others and not to offend anybody. If everyone does this then there are no problems and everybody is happy. We do have a Code of Ethics which we expect all those who attend our events to be familiar with. Also, our club is an Incorporated Association which operates under a Constitution.

Is Nudity Compulsory ?

SEC Sun Club is a "traditional" nudist club and requires (weather permitting) all members to be nude. However, we allow first-time visitors to the club to remain clothed if they wish on their initial visit, however if returning for a second visit the nudity rule must be followed.

Why should I Join a Club when we can go to the Beach ?

When you join a club you meet a whole lot of people and the camaraderie is great. Our monthly swim afternoons are held at an enclosed heated 25 metre pool, so aren't dependent on the weather, not like a beach. There is more security at club functions as nearly everybody is known to each other, unlike a beach.

Am I Too Old or Young ?

You are never too old, we get people of all ages, singles, couples and families. The majority of members are in their 30's, 40's & 50's. We have several families as members, so there are usually children present, so don't think your youngsters will get bored at any of our functions.

How many People do you get at Functions ?

It varies depending on the type of function, our monthly swim afternoons average around 50 participants, bi-annual boat cruises are usually fully booked (82 participants).

Why are there three prices listed for some events in your event calendar ?

For example, $8 / $12 / $20. The cheapest rate is for our members. The next rate is for Provisional Members, and the most expensive are for those who attend our events "off the street" without first contacting us. We strongly encourage new visitors to first contact us so we can provide them with further information, including membership information, and an opportunity to attend as a Provisional Member. We do not accept perpetual visitors; you must become a Provisional Member to attend our functions (contact us for details).

I Don't Look Good Enough ?

You will find all types and shapes of people at our functions, body acceptance is a healthy thing. Nudists are very friendly and accepting people. Everybody's equal as nudists without clothes to hide behind or to set us apart from others.

My Wife is Reluctant to be Nude, Can We Still Visit ?

The club has a policy of allowing first time visitors to remain clothed, however on the second visit the nudity rule must be followed. So there's no problem in attending a first function, at least this gives the reluctant spouse a taste of the nudist lifestyle and it's atmosphere.

Is BFSC a Swingers Venue ?

Absolutely NOT, we are a Family Orientated “Traditional” Nudist Club established in 1975. Swinging is NOT ALLOWED and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. However, what people do in the privacy of their own homes / bedroom is none of our business.

Are Singles Allowed ?

We welcome enquiries from all genuine people.

Can I Take Pictures & Will There be People with Cameras and Videos to Film Us ?

No one is allowed to take pictures or video unless authorised by the club's committee (usually for promotional purposes) If photo-shots are required, all people present are informed about the photo-shoot and only those people that supply written permission to the club will have pictures taken.

What Happens if I get an Erection ?

An erection is not normally an issue in a nudist environment. Nudism is not a sexual experience. First timers may find it difficult to believe, but you are simply very unlikely to get an erection at all. If it does happen then don't panic, simply leave the presence of others and sit quietly until it subsides, jumping in the pool also works, or even taking a cool shower.
A towel is handy covering to avoid any embarrassment. Erections are rarely a problem and once you have been to a few nudist functions you will realise it is not really an issue.

Are children likely to be shocked by their first visit?

No. Children take to nudity like ducks to water. Cases of children being upset by the sight of nude people are extremely rare.

What will my friends and workmates say when they find that I'm a nudist ?

They wont unless you tell them. We keep our membership list confidential, and your fellow members will respect your wishes in this matter.

Is it likely that female members will be improperly approached in the club ?

Not at all. We are careful about our choice of members and anyone that misbehaves is shown the door at once. It is a condition of entry that everyone be familiar with our Code of Ethics.

Can I expect any real health benefits from nudism ?

This is up to you. It depends on how active you wish to be. You will, however, benefit from the general air of relaxation and the freedom from the stresses of daily life.
