Code of Ethics

There are some organizations that offer recreational sex: The Buckeye Naturists is not one of them. We recognize that sexuality is an important part of people's lives, but club functions are not the proper setting.

Illegal substances shall not be permitted at any time.

Photographs shall only be taken with the subject's permission and shall only be shown to other club members or to friends in one's own home. Special permission is required for their publication.

For sanitary reasons and as a courtesy, bring a towel to sit on at all nude club functions.

Only occasionally does someone "rock the boat" with conduct offensive to the group. It is the obligation of members and their guests to know and follow our Code of Ethics. Failure to adhere to our Code of Ethics can lead to revocation of membership and/or banned from TBN activities (members and non-members).

About the Buckeye Naturists

The Buckeye Naturists is a non-landed, family-oriented social nudist club, founded in 1985 TBN is affiliated with The Naturist Society, a national organization. Our membership is open to couples, families, and singles, growing from 18 original members to nearly 200 today.

Our activities include indoor swims, parties, and other events during the cooler weather months. At the swims, you will have the opportunity to play water volleyball, swim a few laps, and socialize with fellow naturists. We currently are looking for a new pool, if you know of one, please e-mail us the information. During the summer, we will travel to landed naturists/nudist clubs around the state and to various clothing-optional sites.

All TBN events are clothing-optional. Most people in attendance will be nude, but there is no requirement or pressure to be nude at our winter swims.

Membership in TBN is $20.00 per year, per family, couple or individual. Benefits of membership include discounted admission to our swims.

You may wish to attend one or more of our events before deciding if membership in a naturist organization is right for you. Attendance at activities before joining, however, is not mandatory. A membership form is available here as a .pdf file.

The Buckeye Naturists is a "family-oriented" group, meaning that conduct at our activities should be as if your family is present.

Please read our Code of Ethics before attending any of our events.
