I'm a very young nudist, and the only time when I can be nude is whn I'm home alone, showering and going into this fort I made, which isn't often, the closest nude beach is 10 miles and I can't drive, I also barely sleep nude because like often I wake up and my blanket won't be on my bed, and I share a room with my brother. How can I cope?
I'd have thought that you could sleep nude even if you share a room with your brother. Who's more likely to be on your side, and not have the expectation of keeping a distance from you? So he'd occasionally get a look at you--I can't believe it would really be the first time. There's a point at which people do need to accept each other. If the nude beach is 10 miles away, you're lucky that it's so close. Have you got a bike? Actually I'd suggest visiting the nude beach with a friend or a group of friends, at least until you get used to what it's like there. I don't want to suggest that nude beaches are dangerous for young people, but you can't be sure who'll be there or what their motivation is. At least, it might be a good idea to look this place up on the web before you go there. What have people said about it?
I'd say a nude beach is much safer than most places. Safety in numbers. At a nude beach was the only time I ever felt safe enough to pick up hitch-hikers. At a nude beach I go to, I looked up what people have said and found nothing but bad reviews, people complaining about looking at people with skin problems and ugly fat Jabba the Hutt types. But when I got there for myself, I found it to be one of my favorite places to go! Nude beaches are nothing to be afraid of.
Dont go to nude beaches until you are in your 20's. Nude beaches arent safe for someone your age. There are people out there who might kidnap you, rape you, and kill you if they see a young person at a nude beach. You shouldn't go to nudist gatherings until you are in your 20's.
You're so full of shit it's not even funny Unless of course you live in a very unsafe part of the world. I've seen plenty of children at nude beaches. Most of them chose to wear their rags. But the youngest ones are accompanied by parents.
You haven't said if you are male or female. I assume that you are probably male in which case sleeping nude really shouldn't be a problem. Even if you are female and your brother has seen you naked at times then there should not be a major issue. May be push your boundaries a bit and see how the family reacts. Don't go to the beach by yourself until you are older and then with friends of your own age.
It's your brother. Maybe he is sleeping nude. Some kids now take off their clothes under the covers and put them back on before they get out of bed. I say tell him that you feel comfortable sleeping nude. He can accept it by giving you space to enter your bed nude or allowing you to be anywhere in the bedroom nude. After time, let your parents know too. Most parents are open of nudity.
I think it shouldn't be a problem to sleep (or stay) naked in onme room with siblings. When i was young i saw my brother nude often and vice versa. No problem. We both did throve ... Maybe you can cautiously try to expand the range of situations you may stay nude step by step, so that your family doesn't get 'shocked', but just used to. If your family doesn't tolerate at all, maybe you know some relatives or families where an more open mind rules, and you may try to get your little freedoms there. Or maybe you have someone trustable among your relatives or friends, who goes to the nude beach anyway and may take you along if you ask. Just some thoughts .. Good luck, and take care!
For anyone 18 years old, Crocus Grove Sun Club is in the process of finding acreage for a nudist campground in the Winnipeg area. (They are in the process of a name change to Naturist Legacy). Give them a little more time to get organized. This club will have something great to offer you by the time you turn 18.
Your making a mountain from a mole heap! I believe in the direct aproach. Tell your brother you sleep naked,alternitively,sleep naked,if u kick yourself open,thats the perfect opertunity to come out in the open,if your brother sees you naked,tell him you sleep in the nude. MOST LIKELY,he'll also start sleeping naked,should he tell on you,even better,its the perfect oppertunity to sit down and discuss nudism with your folks.
Why are people so nervous about being nude?? WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE LOOK LIKE RIGHT?? What exactly does having clothes on accomplish? (Besides staying warm)
1. Because of the fear of their reaction. 2. True you can look at anyone clothed make an educated guess as to how they would look naked. However, there are some I would not like to see naked and plenty who would not like to be seen naked. 3. Can cover a multitude of sins. As well as keeping you warm they can protect you from hazards, e.g. prickly bushes.
The "never be seen naked" phobia is alive and well in the good ol' USA! But there are times and places where no one will hassle you, no one would care if you were naked. If you think that someone who is not attractive to you must turn and walk the other way lest you be offended, you are living in the land of delusions. Ugly and beautiful are all equal in the eyes of God. We all need the sun and fresh air on our bodies, like it or not. Clothing is a tool, but what kind of idiot never puts his tools down when he's done with them? "And the weaver said, "Speak to us of Clothes." And he answered: Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful. And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy you may find in them a harness and a chain. Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your skin and less of your raiment, For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind. Some of you say, "It is the north wind who has woven the clothes to wear." But shame was his loom, and the softening of the sinews was his thread. And when his work was done he laughed in the forest. Forget not that modesty is for a shield against the eye of the unclean. And when the unclean shall be no more, what were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind? And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair." (From "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran - Lebanese American artist, poet, and writer, 1883–1931)
i can understand what the op is saying, i feel the same way, although i don't share my room with a brother. some people in here seem very comfortable in being nude, but although i like the feeling, i'm still very uncomfortable both doing it and talking about it. my parents are nice but very strict, we never talk about sex ever, and there's no way i feel i can tell them i like walking around naked. i just don't think they would understand. we have a nude beach but it's about 50km from where i live and i've never been there, but i hope to one day. at the moment i am very much a home nudist, i don't think i would have the confidence to do it in front of others. it's just not easy for me to do.
shygirl, I know you love your parents and you are the best judge of when (if ever) to tell them that you want to spend some time in the nude in the privacy of your home. If you wore a blue hat with an ostrich feather every day for a year, you'd feel naked the first day you went without it, maybe feel indecent if all you lost was your feather. In your situation, it may take time to feel comfortable in just your skin, even though it is perfectly normal and natural to be without clothing. When you are at a nude beach or nudist campground or resort, you are not on parade in front of other people. You are just one person in a group of other people. If you go swimming, read a book, listen to the radio, or play a game of volleyball, you probably will get your mind off yourself and start having fun. So one day, when you get your confidence up a little, find some friends to go with you and visit that nude beach. 50km is not that far in a car, just a few minutes away! You can't wait until you 100% ready to go, but why not go when you and your friends are 80% ready and the other 20% of confidence will come to you soon enough.
