Hello all, My name is Ron and this is my first post here. I'm heterosexual and I've just turned 22. I'm a later bloomer who due to this have dealt with body image issues since puberty. I've found home nudity as a way to fight those demons and build my self confidence in my body. After puberty has ended, I was never seen naked by others (men or women). My family doesn't know about my lifestyle. I joined several mixed-gender nudist groups on Zoom during COVID but they were quite crowded and I wasn't ready yet, mostly because I didn't want to be judged or be treated as a beginner. I was just looking for a non-sexual and respectful discussion. Can't call myself a nudist yet, let alone a naturist. My goal is to experience the nude outdoors where it is allowed and safe for me in order to get used to it. I'm here to make new online friends and it would be nice if people here could introduce me to this lifestyle based on their own experience. Nice to meet you, Ron.
Hello and welcome fellow nudist. I always slept nude even growing up at home in my own room (parents didn't know). When I got my first apartment I woke up one weekend and just decided to stay nude. I was always nude in my apartment and would have morning coffee on the balcony nude. My apartment was on the top 3rd floor. Years later I got married but my wife doesn't like my nudity and complains but also tolerates it. At the house I have painted rooms, put up dry wall and replaced a basement window all while nude. Working nude around the house makes for easy cleanup. Feel free to message me or ask any questions. Also I'm nude typing this.
Welcome in Ron. Everyone has some level of body image issue and it takes a while to gain the confidence needed to be nude in front of others. Your first goal is to become comfortable with your own body. Look at yourself in the mirror. THAT is the body that you have. There may be some things that you can do to tweak your appearance, but overall, that's the body that you have to work with. Get comfortable with yourself and you will be more comfortable in front of others. I can totally relate. One day in my new apartment, I came home from work and started to change from work clothes to house clothes. I asked myself "Who are you getting dressed for?" So, I lived nude until I met a woman that I THOUGHT was OK with it. Then, a year into the marriage, she confessed that she hated it.
