New to nudism

Hey great stuff. I told my partner pretty soon after we met and it has never been an issue. He's not keen as I am but he does visit nude beaches etc with me. I also have many friends who are okay with it and know that they may find me nude when they visit. You'd be supprised how many people are cool with the idea. Most sensible people realise that it's not a sexual perversion and just a lifestyle choice and accept it as such. Granted I'm quite an assertive character ('in yer face' my friends would say) but just be confident with your choice and those that dislike the nudity show similar respect for their beliefs.

I can so relate to this because I have recently decided to act on my very strong desire to at least somewhat live a nudist lifestyle, and there is no way my wife will ever accept me doing it. I've had this desire for many years, but my family and my friends would never have accepted me as a nudist, so lived the way I was expected to live. Well after all these years, I finally decided that what I want it important and that visiting a resort for a day on occasion would be all right. Unfortunately, my wife does not feel the same way that I do. She feels that nudism is very wrong and that I have no business even contemplating it. Her answer for me was to be naked in the shower. She doesn't understand, nor does she care to. To her it's all wrong. That leaves me in a spot where I have to decide what's more important, my own desires or my marriage. I have to go with keeping my marriage alive, so that means I am back to wanting to be who I really am while I live the way I'm expected to live.

As I read through what I have written, I can see where some would accuse me of whining. I assure you this is not the case. I am merely trying to show that freecospirit is correct in saying that both you and your bf, bf, partner or spouse need to be in agreement about this if you don't want to strain your relationship.

 

Zebb, can you see that this time the thing you are forbidden to do is nudism, but it is probably more than that? People who create rules for their mates usually have a whole laundry list of things you can and can't do.

No one knows how we will grow and change through life. But if we marry someone who gives us space to be ourselves, we have hope of happiness together in our diversity.

 

I just do it, at one time i was scared stiff of getting caught out, theres plenty of bridlepaths and footpaths that are fairly deserted but are great for walking naked on. I'm not a pervert or a rapist so as far as i'm concerned if anyone sees me and finds me offensive tough, most people are ok with it but there was one dude who got ever so shitty he tried to whack me, but i've practised Wing Chun for a number of years so he looked pretty stupid looking up at me from a ditch lol....Tho i can understand you being a woman could be awkward if on your own, you need to find people close by who are of the same ilk who would accompany you...:2thumbsup:

 

I can empathise with "SmoothieUK" and while naked strolling is undoubtedly a great pleasure I wouldn't have the nerve to go on my own around deserted bridle paths. My only real experience has been around nude beaches straying off the official area where though I've met people I've never had any problems. Nearer home the most daring I can get is a bit of sunbathing in spots where I can see people coming. All it would take is one unfortunate encounter for a total disaster; too risky!

 

I know what you mean, its really sad that we are expected to hide ourselves away like that, such is the folly of living in a repressive society. Stephen Gough has spent 6 years in a Scottish prison for the gross offence of 'nudity'. I think the more people who have the courage to follow their convictions is the only way to make change, however with the sheer number of new more repressive cultures coming into the UK all i can see in future is more animosity towards nudists, i fear one day i may even see the inside of a prison myself. But we shall see....

 

Don't invite people to come live in the UK who have repressive cultures!
Living in the UK should be by invitation only, to those who have something to contribute to your society. Wanting to repress and be repressed is not a positive contribution.

 

I can totally understand what you are saying and have felt exactly the same way as you. I previously visited remote parts of the coast in UK and went nude frequently on holidays in Europe. I'm fortunate my now Wife accepts and enjoys natural nudity too.

 

If i could stop these repressive cultures i would, however we have the vote and if the majority of people desire to be repressed, then the minority of the people will also be repressed, such is the folly of having a democracy, you can vote yourself into a repressive Police or quasi religious state...
