Why don't we share stories of how we came out to family and friends, and how we felt during it? EDIT: Coming out about nudism/barefoot. Not homosexuality.
My Reply Was A Joke, Lighten Up Sunshine...:sunny: Cheers Glen. EDIT:- Just For The Record, GLEN Is A Barefoot Nudist Too...:2thumbsup:
Can't remember how it happened to me (coming out as a nudist) as I've been a nudist since I was very young, so my best recollection is that I went nude and nobody (especially Mum, dad) cared, but I do remember my sister thought I was a bit of "a mental case" way back then and would whack my buttocks with sticks to see how I would react (unfavourably is an understatement: I took after her with Dad's branding iron...).
Somehow a conversation with my mom about the woods where I lived .. country, very dark she asked me something about being scared to go out there at night, and I said something like "its not that dark, I go nude hiking under the moon light all the time" but I dont think she heard me right " I said "If I walk in the dark naked whats there to be worried about?" she heard me the second time..
I was subtle about the way I came out. My parents took me to a nude beach as a pre teen. Being an awkward teen whose inscure with his body i kept my trunks on. My dad was about skinny dipping when we went on backpacking camping trips in the Cascade Mtns. I eventually said what the fuck and went skinny dipping. I would do things naked a lot as long as I was by myself. I became more open about it with my family subtly. I didn't announce it like that at all. I still wear clothes in their presence. But I think they know I like full exposure.
I have chosen not to tell family members as I believe they would be offended. No reason to tell them as I am clothed in their presence.
None of their business. If it comes up, be polite and ask them if they wanna join you. I betcha they won't (me, I find doing that with family repulsive).
