Why am I posting this? Honestly, I have no idea. I live it. I like the way it suits me. I'm there. I grew up in a household that had one bathroom. All us kids and parents. 9 of us in all. Modesty was never an issue. Getting ready in the morning was a daunting task. It was a free-for-all. We all were competing for the sink, the mirror, the toilet, and the shower. The older ones helped the littler ones, and it goes without saying that you saw each other naked. You just did what you had to do to get ready. It wasn't necessarily a nudist upbringing, but rather more of a practical thing. We saw each other nude. Incidental nudity. Boys, girls. We just managed. So, with that sort of a background, I was never a child who had issues with being embarrassed about being seen naked. I got expelled from kindergarten on the second day for getting naked on the playground and encouraging a little girl to get naked too. Later, probably second grade, I "sold" all my clothing to another kid in the neighborhood for a dollar. I stripped down then and there and had my money. Needless to say, my frustrated mother made me give the dollar back and get dressed. But, not before every kid in the neighborhood had seen me naked. Again, I didn't care. Fast forward a few years. Boy Scout camp. I was the instigator of the late night skinny dipping raids in which we were introduced to naked swimming after the scoutmaster was asleep. It was innocent. When I was about 10, I had the opportunity to sleep nude. It made sense to me. I liked how it felt. I liked the freedom. By then, I had my own bedroom, and wasn't sharing, so for the first few days, hardly anyone noticed. But then my mom came to wake us for school one particular morning. She came in my room, and I guess I was visible and not completely covered. She asked if I was naked. Of course I was. She just shook her head and rolled her eyes. I guess she just picked her battles with all of us kids, and this was one to just let go. But she never told me that I couldn't sleep naked, so, I continued. I've never worn anything to bed since. Nude virtually every night since then. Later, when in high school, my girlfriend and I became intimate. Looking back, she had a strict upbringing, and I was from quite a more liberal family. Her parents hated me. Eventually, (I guess I initiated it) but we became lovers while still in high school. We were together throughout our senior year and when it was time for college, we went off to college in another part of the state. She went to one university, and I went to another across town. She had her place and I had mine, but we basically lived together at my place. We saw each other nude everyday. After college, we married. I continued my custom of sleeping nude and she joined me, just as before. We'd been married a few years and were used to being naked around each other. It wasn't a big deal. We were adults, married. We weren't bothering anyone. There were times that her nieces and nephews would come stay over at our place. We never made a big deal about it, but we were still relaxed and remained nude when inside the house and when at night for bedtime, we continued sleeping nude whether we had houseguests or not. It was never an issue. If someone was sensitive to that sort of thing, we closed a door. But we never altered our practice. After a few years, we ran across an advertisement in the back of a travel and leisure magazine for a nudist place that happened to be within a half day's drive from where we live. We'd never really considered ourselves to be "nudists" before, but both recognized instantly that this place was a lot like us. Clothes or the lack thereof was not an issue. Up until then, I guess we thought that we were unique or different. We had never really applied any sort of a label to our nudity. Is was just comfortable and who we really were on the inside. It hadn't really occurred to us that there might be other like-minded folks out there, and that they loved the freedom also, and thought nothing about being comfortably nude around others. We arranged a visit. I will say, that I found many of the folks there stand-offish and somewhat rude. They liked to stick to the residents and full-timers and were not really friendly or welcoming towards outsiders and newcomers. Just my observation and opinion. It wasn't that good of a place really. But we were smitten nonetheless. We had seen the magic of being able to be the real people that we were at home, and extend it to the world. After that visit, we were NUDISTS! We selected other locations to visit. We learned about the AANR, the American Association for Nude Recreation, (ASA back then). And we visited other places, resorts and venues and made a lot of really great friendships along the way. Eventually, my parents became interested in our stories and our travels and I guess I inspired them enough that they became nudists as well. So, I guess that makes me 2nd generation nudist. So, even though, we never sort of started out to be nudists. We never really called ourselves that until we were older. My upbringing, in a household where nudity was the norm and was no big issue, that laid the groundwork for me to become a lifelong nudist. I am now retired. After retiring, I moved in to a nudist resort in the North Georgia mountains. I live full time 24/7 in Serendipity Park. (Search it on the internet, come for a visit!) I rarely EVER have to wear clothes. In fact, there are actually folks here that have known me for years now, and have NEVER SEEN me wear anything beyond sunglasses, flip flop sandals and a smile. I get to be nude all day every day, anywhere in the park I want to. I only dress for the occasional run to the grocery or to a doctor's appointment, etc. Otherwise, I'm nude and happy. I hope this story let's some of you realize that nudity does not equate with sex. That it can be a philosophy, a way of life. It is wholesome and pure. A fantastic environment to raise non-judgmental, self-confident, and well-adjusted kids. I am proud to be a nudist. I would want to live no other way. Message me if you want to know more. Like the title says, I'm a genuine real nudist! Peace. Love. Nudity.
Yea I started reading it and read some of the end. It actually seems like it has good content but it was too hard.... hurt my head too much to read much at all of it. Break into paragraphs and more people can/will read it.
Thanks for making it more readable. I read it all. That's good... I am not a nudist myself but husband and I sleep without clothes and am comfortable with no or little clothes when ever...well, when ever I want to be. Like sleeping. Or sunbathing if in a place where I can do so. Our kid is now only three so it's not an issue. I think it is good to just not make a big deal about those types of things... it's just a body. I don't know...everyone has one, no big deal. Anyways... that is crazy you got expelled from kindergarten. See, that is one thing I am worried about with my kid (soon to be kids)... the whole kids getting expelled or suspended for things like... well, what you said. Or the kids who get suspended or expelled for things like taking water guns to school. Or kindergartens that get suspended/expelled/even charged with sexual harassment for kissing someone. THAT is scary to me because my 3 year old goes up to any kid that plays with him on the playground and gives them a hug and kiss. Don't wanna have to teach my kid relatively soon "um you can't kiss" ... that's another topic but yea...
Yes, but nowadays, getting expelled from kindergarten might wind a person on some sort of a sex offender "predator" list or something. We're talking all the way back in the 1960's. No, Mrs. Ruth's Kindergarten just expelled me.
I think it's creepy that authority figures feel OK remaining ignorant about those who want to raise their children differently than the mainstream. I wouldn't let them get away with it. Educate them and hopefully you will save yourself and other parents a lot more additional grief. Failing that, YOU are the parents, tell them to mind their own damn business.
Hello. I'm the same Georgia Naked Guy who started this thread. A couple of years have passed. i'm still living nude each and every day. I still live in the Nudist Park in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains (Serendipity Park). Yes, by all means Google us. I continue to live clothes-free almost all the time except for occasional runs to the grocery in town or for a doctor's appointment, etc. I only have to do about 15 loads of laundry a YEAR. Mostly towels and sheets. I'm still loving this life. I'm still naked everyday. I can still leave my home and have the full run of the neighborhood within the nudist park without clothes. This is honest. This is genuine. This is pure clean living. Here, you can walk naked down the center of the street with a beer in your hand and nobody raises as much as an eyebrow. I am happy and quite proud to say that I am still very much a nudist. I am still very happy, and I still invite any and all of you to come visit the park. We are 90 minutes from Atlanta. I live a life others only dream about. Come see for yourself. That is all can say. this is the real deal. Google Serendipity Park. (We're a Family nudist park, adults, kids, grandkids, singles, couples, all races. Your behavior is your passport at this place) Consider yourselves invited.
I too spend most of my days nude. In the summer months, my home up north is in the country with 7 acres. Yes there is a couple neighbors but I am able to avoid them. As I work naked outside all day and even nap outside nude. In the winter I live next door to Cypress Cove. As does many of my neighbors. If we arent at the Cove undressed you may catch us on our properties nude. We do need to watch for our non nudist neighbors so as not to offend them. Though many are ok with our lifestyles knowing that probably 60 percent or more here are nudists and members of the Cove
We knew the thread was BS when you said you got expelled from kindergarten Good on you for your "lifestyle" now, But what do you mean by this is good clean living? You sound retired, Thus your lifestyle now only possible as a result of decades or doing/working like everybody else
