Getting my friends used to the idea

I've been a naturist in our home and back garden continuously for a couple of years now, and it's really great to be without clothes most of the time. Luckily for me, our next door neighbours are not bothered about me tending and enjoying our garden in the nude.

But whenever someone calls round unexpectedly, I always have to dash to grab some clothes, while my wife waits impatiently for me to cover up before opening the door. So I've decided to be a bit more open about my nudity with some of my friends, in the hope that they might accept the fact that I'll be naked when they call round. To my surprise, my wife is okay with me being nude in company, as long as said company is okay with it.

It's early days so far; I've told my closest friend and his wife, and he seems open to the idea of me being undressed when he visits (not sure what his wife's reaction will be, but she likes to see willies, so it might be okay). Now I actually have to see if I have to courage to be nude around them.

Does anyone have any advice or experience with "outing" themselves to friends?

Sadly it seems unlikely that either my own or my wife's family will ever be comfortable with the idea.

 

Sadly, it's apparently harder for men.

To quote my girlfriend, "I guess it's just less cute when guys do it".

Which sucks and is stupid, if you ask me - everyone's nudity should be equally acceptable - but not everyone shares this viewpoint.

Best of luck, luv!

 

Well, I have to admit that, from my point of view, women look do a lot nicer in the nude than men, but I'm not adverse to anyone being naked. If only it was a more universal sentiment.

Thanks, fingers crossed. Small steps to start with, I think.

 

having somebody else "out" you is handy!

before i met my last boyfriend, i wasnt as open about being a nudist as i am now. sure some of my friends knew, some had known for a long time. but i never really had it out there about myself and i never really tried being nude around my friends to any great degree.

but my boyfriend, when i met him, was a die-hard nudist already. he was very open about it with people, and disliked getting dressed if he could avoid it.

so very quickly my friends got to know about him and, by extension, that i lived, or wanted to live, in much the same way.

when we moved in together he would rarely dress when visitors came around and luckily my friends were pretty ok about this. so it wasnt long before i kind of figured well, he's staying naked when they come over and theyve no problem with it, why aren't i?

so i quickly got into the habit of not dressing when my friends called and being more open and upfront about the fact that, yes, im a nudist and yes i would prefer to not wear clothes when i can.

even though our relationship is history now i am still in that habit and the friends i have who come round are well aware that i dont wear clothes at home and accepting of that.

so the point of what im saying i guess is that it helps having somebody else supporting you to help you feel encouraged and not like you are completely on your own putting yourself out there for other people to judge.
