I want to be naked.

16? Sounds to me like you're going through puberty Shazzz. I am with Being. Your parents have rules (apparently) and standards (apparently), going against the grain can make the rest of your teen years a bit rough.

 

I started by sleeping nude at home, then when I moved into my own place I had the freedom to not wear what I pleased.

 

I am trying to view this from the eyes of a father. My wife and I are both open minded, so it doesn't help the situation. Ultimately you won't know till you do it. In your situation, there is no real downside. You get grounded? You get told to go get dressed? They look at you funny? You are 16, you do live under their house and have to abide by their rules. Till you walk around naked though, you won't know how your parents will react. Talk to them? Tell them that you are feeling the need to be naked and it may just be a phase. I personally wouldn't mind if my son came out and told me. I might just join him. What have you got to lose?

 

Good point man : )

 

pOly, you are showing a rather immature and narrow-minded view on this subject. People have the right to be nude where and when they want. Plus you sound like you are unable to tell the difference between non-sexual nudity and sexual activity. Nudism is not to do with sex. Learn a bit more at http://www.naturistsociety.com

 

Shazz, go ahead. Test your family. In my experience, many parents like to be nude, but when they have kids, they tone it down for them. They do it in their bedroom and away from you. There are ways to find out. Ask them or test them. I say the best method is to ask them. My son started to do that and he'd just wear a towel forever. When he started to slowly unfold it watching tv, I'd confronted him. For me, this is a game. I already knew he doesn't like wearing clothes.

 

Shazz, echoing the above posts, I endorse the view that you should go ahead at this young age and 'test the waters', but there are necessarily at your age, some extant parental restraints to hold you back.

To me, it's not all that long ago since your folks gazed admirably down to a stark-naked you gurgling away in the crib! Puberty has and will continue to change you, but that shouldn't impact upon your folks if you are their son. My Mum didn't bat an eyelid when I very resolutely refused to wear togs at the beach. My father was a bit embarrassed, but he eventually didn't give a hoot, so long as his beer, armchair and remote control were close to hand!

But I digress. It's a tricky subject. If you know your parents to be conservatively minded, you might be considered to have a behavioural trait if you whip off your shirt and then go starkers around the house. Surely your folks have seen you with nothing on at all but budgie smugglers on a hot day? Or just in knickers? Tell me they are not devout Catholics who frown on bare-chested sons walking about? You're in Melbourne. Liberal attitudes aboud, especially in the bohemian strongholds of Brunswick, Fitzroy and the ferny reaches of the Dandenongs. But not in Toorak. You'd be horsewhipped strutting Toorak Road barechested at any age, LOL!

The other way is this: it could be all for the best if your parents are liberal in their outlook and allow you to experiment — without causing offence. You could have a lifetime ahead of you as a naturist, but it's not for us to say that's the way it will be — as you get older you'll form your own preferences, mores and values, maybe even polar opposites to your family's (like me!), but by that time you will be old enough to be responsible for your own decisions in life, but at 16 you do have to be careful. Have you discussed what you would like to do with your folks?

 

I love being naked, I do it all the time in public with other people.

 

With all due respect to everyone else here. Biggles seems to be the most intelligent person I've seen on these forums. My parents arent that Jesus freak Catholic type hahaha. And nah I havent spoken about it...

 

I think your plan is pretty sound, go for it dude!

 

i know how you feel man, im exactly in the same position. im a nudist but my family isn't and if i told them, they would say that im crazy.
