Experimenting with nudity in our culture

I’ve been a nudist my whole life. My parents allowed me to be free until I started school. Then, they insisted on clothing my body. I hated it.About 9th grade I convinced them to allow me to take off my clothes at home, and on our property. We lived on a large berry farm. Eventually, everyone just accepted that Jessica is always naked.
Then, in college. It started all over again. It was nerve wracking the first time I told my roommates I’d like to just go nude. They accepted it too.
Now, as a 31 year old women. With a career . I’m still trying to convince everyone, that I just don’t like wearing clothes. It’s not a big deal, please wear clothes if you’re more comfortable. I prefer to be nude . I feel phony with clothes on. I like for people to see me.
So, I’m going to embrace it. I’m going to start being nude as much as I can.
Thanks for listening

 

Been A Nudist For It Must Be Close To 40 Years......I Hear You.....



Cheers Glen.

 

I like the way you Think!

 

I too agree with you.I spend most of my days nude.

 

Ah me, so many female nudists on the internet, so few in real life.

 

You’d be surprised. Women can’t typically admit to things like that in real life.
Even here it results in lots of interesting private messages.

 

I've had plenty of opportunities to be surprised, and I'm still waiting. I've been to nude beaches and nudist gatherings of various kinds, and every time, the men have greatly outnumbered the women. That's "real life". On the internet, things are quite different! But online, anyone can be anyone they want--male, female, or little green Martians. Someone could claim to be a left tertiary demi-male from Alpha Centauri, complete with an avatar showing tusks and tentacles, and who could dispute it? Just think of their private messages.

I do not claim to be a sheep.

 

I don’t know. I’ve only been to one nude beach. Wreck beach in Vancouver BC. There’s definitely more men than women, but what I personally noticed, is that it’s mostly older folks.

 

The story of nudists who encounter barriers and 'roadblocks' like you have are quite differing and jarring to nudists who have a more liberal and free upbringing, people like me who wilfully cast aside the dim views of others to have my way.

I am sorry that your friends have not entirely been on board with the lifestyle, but this is a very common thing to experience and often causes converts to give up trying. For many, going nude in their own room or a private area is the only choice: friends flee or look upon it with disdain because of some moral high ground they unconsciously cling to. None of my friends are troubled by by naturist lifestyle, and a few wouldn't even be seen dead in their knickers, but they are balanced of mind and recognise the right of freedom of choice, as such applies to so much in life.

A great majority of woman only need one negative experience on the internet and bang -- they're gone, they won't be seen there again because of the difficulties it causes. Nudist beaches are not so much of a problem in my view and experience; single women do visit, they do go for long walks, and I have never seen any hassled by the fabled bald, pot-bellied, hairy, leering old guy nudists (don't get me wrong, they do exist and a few can cause problems!). My nude beach could do with a better gender balance -- something common to many of the world's nudist or clothing-optional beaches.

 

I come from a culture where nudism isn't quite common, so at my age being nude in front of my family(well, parents) won't be a particularly fun experience. Obviously it wasn't a problem when I was little, though.

I do like being nude so I sometimes strip off in private, which usually happens more often in summertime mainly because it gets really hot. As far as I know, my girlfriend is open to the idea of being nude at home from time to time but she also loves clothes in general, and I also don't dislike clothes myself. We both enjoy sleeping naked, however. I think for us, it's more of a clothing optional, laid-back home environment that we could aim to create.

 

Do you fancy a flying visit to London.? It is a bit warmer tonight, nearly 3 degrees when I put the car in the garage. LOL.

 

I could never be a nudist though I respect everyone’s individual choice. For one, I really like clothes. I like shopping, I like fashion, I like dressing up. But secondly I like being able to use my body to turn a guy on and I feel like if I was always naked I’d be forfeiting some of that power. I want being nude to be a sexual thing. It works for me ;-)

 

I've always disagreed with the belief exercised by some nudists/naturists where nudity and sexuality HAVE TO be separately perceived. I've had great conversations in the past with a couple of family nudists(mother and daughter) on here whose perception of nudism not only included but also honoured the sexual aspect that nudity brings to humanity. This is also why I don't believe that erections occurring in a nudist/naturist environment should be a frowned upon matter. I believe it should be perceived as a natural phenomenon that may have occurred due to sexual reasons, and that being sexual is just as natural as being nude.

 

So you're 50 or 60 something?

 

Turned 70 Last July......But Never Really Grew Up......



Cheers Glen.

 

Ah, nice long life, eh? As for never having grown up, neither did my uncle who just turned 43 in December. Quite the naturist, he is too. They live in property in Boring, Oregon (I know, funny name for a town), so they can get away with it (they being him and my cousin. My aunt isn't into it as much)

 

-----------------------------------------------

Mm-hmm. That is a very enlightened and modern view. Unfortunately in nudism / naturism, puritanical moral highbrow elements exist and hold sway to the gravely misguided belief that nudity is not/must not be, sexual, and that we cannot engage in free sexual behaviour or responses as a result. Humans are inherently sexual by design; if we were not, how would reproduction be explained?

I was a member of a nudist resort here in my home state for more than 25 years. The owners adhered to the aforementioned puritanical belief that guests could go nude, but no unconscionable or natural sexual behaviour or exhibition of sexual behaviour be seen anywhere (that didn't stop the more creative types like me who objected to such imposts). They also stipulated that cottages must have their blinds/curtains drawn and doors closed so that other nudists -- camping or in adjacent cottages, were not "inconvenienced by improper behaviour that could bring our resort into disrepute". Ha! I can tell you the owners brought themselves down into disrepute, not just through that contrived and ridiculous policy that is so out of step with nudism in a free-thinking, liberal society, but by grossly overhcharging "whinging nudists who have short arms but deep pockets..."[etcetera]. No surprise then that prior to 2010 membership dropped off sharply and the whole joint closed in May of 2010. No love lost.

Here in Australia though probably all the resorts adhere to the belief that nudity must not be sexual. That's why I don't go to any. I am a sexual being. I go nude and have sex. Other nudists should follow suit, rather than submit to wholesale brainwashing by balding, deaf, pot-bellied, hairy and morally-askew puritans and wowsers who by and large own and operate many of the resorts. Our little world might be so much better as a result.

 

Glenglen, please understand...
Growing old is compulsory. But growing up is entirely optional.

 

I turn 58 this July, but I can play like a 16 year old when I want to! People mistake me for a 30-something. From a distance, I am told I look like a younger adult. I think it is in the genes (my mum's). We never really acted our age, although she is certainly now showing hers at 102!!
