Quick review
Brief background
Pilwarren Maslin beach nude games is a must attend, one of a kind event
which is held annually during the month of January. It is an absolutely family
friendly event greatly organized by David and his wife who run a naturist
resort called Pilwarren in South Australia.
I attended the event in January 2018. The event was quite interactive
because there were team events as well, like tug of war (Pilwarren vs rest of
the world) and bucket filling competitions. There were lots of people in the
audience as well, who were enjoying a clothes free day. There were kids in the
audience as well and among the participants. Following are some stats, based on my observations.
Gender ratio and other details of visitors
- There were roughly 60-80 participants and almost a 100 to 150 visitors.
- Event participation rules - Although the event schedule and time table was published beforehand, participants were accepted on first come first serve basis. There was a donut eating competition as well in which participants got to eat free donuts.
- They were raising some money in a very fun way. Visitors were welcome to try their luck to be judges for the best bum competitions (yes they had these too where male bums were judged by females and vice versa) by purchasing lottery tickets.
- Nudity rules - It is a legal nude beach, although people could be found in various states of undress.
- There were no "couple only" entry rules or need of any kind of membership or affiliations to any groups. Nudity was not mandatory for regular visitors.
- Participation in all the games, excluding the best bum competitions, allowed clothing.
- There were a few women wearing bikini bottoms and few with both tops and bottoms among the crowd.
- For some reason, the kids had to be wearing something and could not be completely naked.
- Gender ratio was quite healthy. Just to give an idea, there were two batches of participants for men's 35+ category for the best bum competitions and one batch each for men's 18 to 35 and women's 18 to 35 and 35+ categories. The female:male ratio was roughly 1:4 (consider the bigger batch sizes of the 35+ men) among participants.
- On a regular weekday, on the same beach and at the same time (2 to 5 pm), the male presence was much higher. The ratio was roughly 1:10 or higher.
- States of undress - By the end of the event, I think, all male participants were naked. Among visitors, I guess, 95% or more were naked.
- Almost all female participants were ultimately naked. One of the female participants was clothed in all the games. For the best best bum competition however, she was not allowed to participate without being naked. She did it after some encouragement from the crowd and was ultimately one of the winners.
- Age bracket ratio - Ratio of number of people in 18-35 bracket vs 35+ was roughly 1:2.5, considering almost triple the number of older men, as compared to the other three groups.
- Racial and ethnic composition - Majority of the crowd looked white. I spoke with a few Germans and Chinese. Few men, women having south-east Asian looks were present. Few men with Indian subcontinent like looks were also present.
- I guess, roughly half were Adelaide locals, based on the number of participants in the tug of war competition between Pilwarren vs Rest of the world.
Difficulty level
- Easy and better for
beginners as compared to a regular day at the beach because of the
presence of event organizers and seniors/moderators from the active nudist
community. While I found the Lady Bay beach in Sydney itself quite safe
for women as there were clothed as well as naked solo females present,
these kind of events seemed to be more safe for beginners. A regular day
on a nude beach often can be less crowded, and the basic human nature of checking out strangers along with lack of chances of ice breakers may add to the creepiness. In such events, however, with chances to
break the ice, the awkwardness factor is easily gone.
- While you can see photos of
the event participants in the official site, don't worry if you are
looking to participate and are worrying about getting photographed. All
the photographs with faces exposed were taken with consent of the
participants. All other pictures can be seen with faces masked. Nobody,
excluding the event organizers were allowed to take pictures during the
event. I remember one suspicious looking man was questioned by the
organizers who was looking from above. He later left. Follow the facebook page of The Gender Ratio
