The UK's Most Popular Site for Smooth Naturists !

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A. SCN Club was started in 1996 with this Web Site being launched in January 1999.  The Website was run independently of the Club (which had strict Rules of conduct and was available only to residents of the UK). The Organiser made the decision to close the Club after five successful years at the end of 2002. This Website will continue, promoting the original aims of the Club.

A. SCN events were held at public or private venues, where like-minded naturists gathered to enjoy pleasant conversation, sunbathing, swimming, saunas, Jacuzzis, steam rooms, picnics, boules, miniten, barbecues and quizzes to name but a few.  Popular topics of conversation were naturism, methods of hair removal - and computers! At all events members were expected to be nude and happy in a socially nude environment.

A. Although currently regarded by some as an emotive issue, we at SCN firmly believe that the circumcised penis is aesthetically more pleasing for various reasons - hygiene and looks (as naturists) being just two - particularly when it is not surrounded by what we, as smoothies, consider to be unsightly pubic hair.  It is this extra requirement that makes SCN unique.  We are not saying that all other men must be circumcised but just suggesting that if you are, and you’re smooth and a naturist, you'll enjoy being part of our community even more!

Q. How do I get information on circumcision?

A. SCN currently holds no information on either the methods of circumcision or the clinics and their practitioners who perform the operation.  We suggest that you consult your own doctor to ask if he will refer you to a clinic for assessment and advice.  You can be circumcised at any age but all men who were successful in their application for membership of SCN would have been 'cut' well before joining.  There are many web sites about circumcision: our Links page 2 shows a few.

Q. What do you mean by "fully circumcised" in the qualifications to join?

A. Full circumcision involves the complete removal of any foreskin, leaving the glans (penis head) fully exposed at all times.  The frenulum (underneath) may have also been removed, but this is not essential as long as it is small.  Merely for a man to wear his foreskin back does not qualify him!  Female members were naturally not required to have been circumcised - just to be pubically smooth!

A. Not at all! SCN was a mixed club but we were sadly short of females due to the fact that in naturism itself more men want to be naturists than women. We would like to have encouraged more ladies (and m/f couples) to join us to balance out the numbers as we were a friendly crowd, as those women who did join were delighted to see! The continued absence of a realistic balance between the sexes was one reason for the closure of the SCN Club.

A. SCN was a social club for meetings (it was not a correspondence club), so we wanted to encourage members to join in at as many of our meetings as they could attend, otherwise there was little point in joining in the first place!  The increasing number of members who failed to attend meetings and events that we organised (some often very close to them) was a major reason for the decision to close the SCN Club.  But for this apathy amongst a high percentage of members, SCN Club may well have continued!

A. SCN was about meeting up with other naturists, and gender was not an issue at any of our meetings, although we would like to have seen more of a balance between the sexes to prevent SCN from becoming too male-dominated. The more couples who stayed away for this reason, the more the imbalance was perpetuated. Note: SCN was definitely not a Swingers' Club!

A. About once or twice a month - sometimes even more often in the summer - it varied according to season, availability of venues etc.

A. No, although some of them were. The remainder were smooth naturists worldwide who wished to share their photos with others viewing our site (which was run quite independently of the SCN Club itself). 
Our requirements for submission of photographs to the Picture Gallery, which must be strictly followed, are shown on the Snupie Main Page.

A. Certainly not - none of our meetings was sexually-orientated. Any intimate activity between members was conducted strictly in private and away from the meetings. The SCN Rules stated that good conduct was expected at all meetings, and anybody thought to be behaving offensively would be requested to leave and possibly forfeit their SCN membership. In practice SCN members respect others present and such occurrences were very rare indeed.

A. A lot of people like to view slightly more explicit but non-pornographic pictures of smoothies, and as we have received a lot of well taken photos from people who like to show off their smoothness in all its glory, we have included this gallery for those people. Anybody who is likely to be offended by these images is clearly warned in advance so it is their choice whether to continue or not. The Snupie Xtra Gallery is a very popular feature of the SCN website and is meant as a bit of harmless fun which was unconnected with the Club’s activities. You will not see sexually explicit photos, pornography or photos of men with full erections and it is up to the individual to decide how they perceive our pictures. The Xtra Gallery, which is deliberately kept low profile, was started initially as an experiment but has continued following feedback of about 98% of viewers in favour of its continuation.

A. This varies with each individual, but it is entirely up to you to find the method which suits you, and how often you wish to redo it. If you can afford it, you can have hair permanently removed. If not, you could just invest in a good razor or electric shaver and maintain your smoothness as often as you wish. Some people shave daily while others are content to shave 2-3 times a week, depending on the speed and density of the re-growth. A list of methods of depilation has been compiled separately - see Hair Removal Methods.

A. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, the SCN Club has now been closed after five successful years.  We are sorry to disappoint prospective members but feel that a positive decision had to be made. This Website, promoting the twin aims of the SCN Club (smooth naturists with male naturists being circumcised as well as being bodily smooth) will continue and flourish, and will be the focus point of our aims.  Additionally we wish to promote the tolerance of tasteful (non-sexual) nudity in public places such as beaches, parks and gardens.  Please contact John with positive comments and experiences regarding all aspects of our aims or, better still, share your views and experiences with other visitors to this site by posting on our Message Board.

A. There are many ways of starting out in naturism, whether you go along to an organised swim, a naturist health spa or to a naturist beach. Most landed clubs will encourage couples to join, and a few will allow a small number of singles, offering a free visit where they will show you around the facilities and allow you to decide if and when you want to undress. Official naturist beaches are a good place to try, but do be wary if you are a single female because not necessarily all of the occupants on public beaches are genuine naturists. There is a list of naturist venues - including singles-friendly venues - on the NUFF site and you may also like to visit British Naturism.

A. A lot of men worry about this, but it is rarely a problem once you are actually there, seeing ordinary people doing ordinary things. If, however, you do find that you are becoming aroused, and don’t want to offend anybody, just cover it up with a towel, or if you are sunbathing roll over onto your front - and think about something else!! While it is a perfectly natural thing to have an erection if you are relaxed and enjoying yourself, it is not advisable to flaunt it or encourage it - particularly if you are at a landed club or naturist swim, where you would be quickly asked to leave if it was considered to be deliberately offensive.

A. They are mostly unwritten rules of courtesy, but a few example are as follows:

A. Naturism is not about body image, it is about body acceptance. Genuine naturists will not be critical of your shape or size, they will accept you as a “whole person”. Human beings come in two basic types and we are all variations of those two themes, coming in all shapes and sizes. You don’t have to be an Adonis or a Page 3 model to become a naturist and once you are among other naturists, you will quite soon forget your scars or blemishes!

A. If they are interested in naturism but feel too shy, you could try persuading them to accompany you on an outing to a public clothing-optional beach, where they may feel that they would like to be naked if everybody else is, as long as they do not feel under any pressure to do so. Unfortunately, though, if they are not already inclined towards naturism, there is little that you can do other than giving them lots of encouragement in the hope that one day they will choose to try it and find that they too enjoy the wonderful feeling of freedom and liberation which we naturists experience (weather and temperature permitting, of course!).

And finally ... Relax and enjoy the freedom of hairlessness and total nudity!
