Does it make you embarassed or proud? I would love for others to see my wifes beautiful body but she is very shy until---------------
It is this type of posting and some of the responses that make me seriously question the motivation of some so called naturists. There is nothing wrong with naturists taking care of their bodies and feeling elated when they are seen by others. But it is a matter for the individual themselves to decide with no pressure from partners. One of the most common themes in naturist forums is that of the reluctant partner and the advice is always no pressure so long as they don't mind you going nude on the beach let them stay clothed and only bare all when they feel ready. You could ask yourself how does she feel about you being nude in front of others especially other women. Most of the forum members tend to be male and we rarely get the female perspective. Very bad idea to post pictures that would be serious abuse and grounds for a divorce. Remember naturism is about body freedom, contentment, comfort and relaxation. Genuine naturists understand that and that is what makes us naturists even if we started for other reasons. When you have reached that state of mind you will simply be pleased when your partner is similarly attuned; embarrassment and pride simply will not figure.
I guess the idea of nudism is not about flaunting someone, but about equality and considering everyone’s rights and needs. So the question is not if you may ‘display’ your wife to others and how you feel about, but if your wife would like to bare and how she feels about it. Anyway, if all are naked, e. g. on a nudist beach, the significance of a single nude tends to zero. Personally, I can tell that I feel happy when my friend shares nudity with me, as he wasn’t into nudism when we met, but became open for this style by and by. So I’m happy because we can share a common thing, but not because I can display him to others. I know there are people in the nudism scene that take delight in displaying themselves to others, but I guess this should always be their own free decision. If you really love your lass, you should be proud of her anyway, no matter if she goes nude or not ;-)
Pixy, I love her more than you could know. Did not mean to sound like a perv. Just meant it like I am very proud of my wife. She is the one that is actually inquiring about checking out a commune or something to that effect. She is starting to try things that she never thought she would (nor I).
Hi Rocky, i understand. Sorry my first impression was wrong, obviously. You two have all my best wishes from my heart for your love and your joint path. May the sun always shine on it!
Hi Willy, of course this was not a switch over or a sudden conversion, but a growth over some months that still carries on in certain details. For both of us this is not our first relation, so we both brought with some ideas of thing we will not give up when we go together. One of mines was my gusto for naked holidays and looking for possibilities for nudism in daily life. So first we tried out together was sharing nudity on the beach, as this is not very uncommon where my friend comes from. And i always went naked in my own flat when i did feel like, and he had to stand it. The other opportunities to share nudity did add by and by. Basically, he feels ok with nudity but didn't have it on his screen before. It also doesn't mean as much to him as it does to me, but he is a good guy and knows how to do me a favour sometimes, or better to say he has good antennas to feel when i would like to be naked together. Yes, the invitation-to-sex-question. I'm often asked this. I think i can send pretty clear signals whether i go naked only for my own comfort or fun, or if i am looking for erotic adventures. At least most of my friends can read this and my bf for sure (and, you won't believe it, sometimes i'm up for sex indeed *lol*). And if this doesn't work, i have a mouth to tell, anyway. But you are right, some men (and sometimes women too) are not able to differentiate in such situations and think going naked means per se looking for mating. It's just the interpretion on the base of their own horizon and life experience i guess. This is the main reason i always try to have someone with me if i go naked in settings with people i don't know, i just feel more 'safe' this way. Hope i could answer your questions sufficcently. Take care!
Where I come from men an' some women are just too sleazy to even allow for a nudist lifestyle. I mean my wife has men tryin' to get in her pants on a regular basis even tho she's married. It'd be nice to be able to live free like that but it ain't happinin' any time soon
I'm proud of my wife, she's a beautiful woman. We don't have a problem being naked around other people but we don't go out of the way to show off.
Yep, it is kind of hard to be naked "in front of people" when you are just one more naked person standing around a swimming pool with 50 or 60 other naked people. It's always pleasant when someone fit and good looking passes by, but our main focus is on our friends. They are dear to us for what's in their heart. A lot of women enjoy the fact that at nudist places they are not on parade or awaiting inspection. They can relax, let their hair down, drop the clothes and pretenses, soak up some sun, go for a swim in pure comfort.
I have never minded other women seeing my husband nude and I have never minded my husband seeing nude women.
I love to see the stars as much as anyone, but they fade away when the sun comes up in the morning. Samantha, if you are his sunshine, I am sure you make the stars fade away too!
Judging from the response of some of the posters here, I think perhaps naturism/nudism can become too much of a religion, with religious attitudes and religious standards. The OP is merely making a comment about his wife's beauty, not insisting, or forcing anything. But seriously, I don't think I'd be comfortable in a nudist environment, purely because of the "purity police" walking about. One may be willing to show how "free" they are by going naked, but still have some very religious and condescending attitudes toward how others handle it. Everyone wants to be the "expert" at something. There will always be those who wish to be in "authority", no matter what context. I'd rather just skip the nudity, and be free in my "costume". I was a nudist, for a short time, back in '68. We had just graduated from high school, and a friend of mine I hadn't seen for a while stopped by Santa Monica Beach, where I hung out, and invited me to a house they were renting for the summer in Venice, California. I went there that afternoon, and found everyone naked, sitting around like it was the natural thing to do. I had a choice to make. Remove clothing, stay dressed and uncomfortably obvious, stay dressed and make up some excuse, or leave. I opted to remove clothing and act like I was comfortable with it. It just didn't seem necessary, but they were "making a statement", so I went along. I lived at that house for the next two months, until the owners returned. I called it "The Naked House". I thought it was so cool being naked there, and not feeling compelled to be sexual. I did have a sexual relationship with one of the girls, who used to drop by after work. She worked at a pie shop, and would bring us leftover pies that weren't eaten. I had some pie myself,,and it was good,,haha. One guy there was so sexually hyped that he was always hitting on the women, and since the point was to be naked without making it a sexual thing, it made things a bit uncomfortable. But I didn't say anything, because that would have made me the "purity police". Maybe I should have,,,but in retrospect,,no. The women handled it just fine without my intrusion. Anyway,,we lived the summer naked. After a couple of weeks of this, I re-visited another house, across town in Santa Monica, where another set of friends lived, who I used to get high with. They were having a party, and I dropped by on my Cushman motor scooter. Shortly after entering, I shared some cannabis, took off all my clothes, and deliberately situated myself in the living room, just around the front door, in a yoga position that involves being upside-down, on my head, feet pointing at the ceiling. I really wanted to "introduce" this bunch to the idea of nakedness. Anyway,,it must have been amusing to some, especially to the girls showing up at the door. They probably thought I was on acid. I didn't do it for very long, just a short time, and then put my clothes back on and left. I think I felt that it was a bit inappropriate. But I was high, so I had an "excuse". 1968,,,the summer of love,,
