Okay, about a month back I met my girlfriends family for the first time, spent a few nights at their place. Thing is no one warned me that one of her sisters is an avowed nudist, who, maybe obviously, spent most of the time naked. I know it shouldn't have, but this made me feel a bit awkward, not in any sexual sense, I wasn't imagining any bulls*$t porno story or the sort. I know nudism is apparently a healthy and liberating, or so I've heard it said anyway, lifestyle and of course she has every right to practice it, especially in her own family home when her own family don't mind, and that the fault is mine, but my problem lies in the fact that we are going back to her home for the best part of a week soon, and i don't want to appear awkward or rude, so I'm hoping someone can give me help or advice on how to feel less uncomfortable around her, or is it just a case that I will have to man up deal with it? thanks
Hi, you're not used to meet a nudist, so it's pretty comprehensible you are uneasy how to meet up and interact with her. But probably she will know this situation from meeting other people. So i propose to tell her about your feelings and that you will try your best. Talking with her about it will make it more relaxed for both sides. By and by her nakedness will become just normal for you and the situation will be laid back after some visits, i'm pretty sure. Have a nice time!
I tend to agree with Pixie except I would be very wary of talking to her about it unless she starts the conversation. Try your best to interact with her in the same way you would interact with someone in a swimsuit and yes look her in the eyes, you will soon become much more relaxed about the whole thing.
I think the best way to feel more comfortable around her would be to nude up every time she's in the room. If both of you are naked, how could it be awkward? You may want to invest in some of those clothes that you can rip off in one quick motion so that you can spend as little time as possible wearing clothes around her. She walks into the room... instant strip. also, make sure that you make as many hilarious innuendos as possible. Humor will make everyone more comfortable.
Well, I will admit that it was hard not to notice her 'naughty bits' at first, but once the initial surprise wore off I did manage to keep eye contact, maybe a bit to much in retrospect. Lia, the sister was either ignorant or feigning it of my discomfort, which i don't know is maybe how she has dealt with it in the past, although she did refrain from hugging me which is apparently unusual, so maybe she was aware of it. As for bringing it up with her, well Mita, my girlfriend, was absolutely no help when I tried talking to her about it, she just found it funny, so i would have to search for an appropriate way which might be difficult. But thanks for the replies guys it's been useful, and please keep the thoughts coming. oh and P.S Lostthoughts, not so sure about that approach, not immediately anyhow.
You seem to be adapting well to what is a very unusual situation. You don't however make any reference to the climate in the area where your girlfriend's family live. In the UK for example at this time of year it would be uncomfortable to be naked even indoors unless the heating is turned up. In other parts of the world the climate is much more conducive to wearing little or no clothing. You also haven't said how old you, Lia and Mita are; this all builds up a fuller picture allowing us to give you much better advice. Does Lia have a boyfriend of her own and do you know how he feels about the situation. Mita is accustomed to Lia's stance and simply feels that you should be just as accepting. I do take issue with "Lostthoughts"'s suggestion to be nude with Lia unless Mita is also nude with both of you then how would you feel if their parents walked in. If the whole family were to hang round in the buff then of course join in but being nude in a one-to-one with Lia would be asking for trouble.
Tis Truly Amazing That After You Were Confronted By This Naked Young Lady, Instead Of Making Your Own Judgement Of The Situation, You Chose To Join A Forum, And As A New Member, Inform Us Of Your Delima.... What Do You Take Us Hip Forums Members For....A Bunch Of Fools....??? Cheers Glen.
"GlenGlen" it had occurred to me that this thread was another fantasy wind up. The situation as you imply is scarcely plausible. It does however have merit as an interesting if time wasting diversion.
yeah, i knew some people would think i was a troll, and i don't know the hip forum etiquette, maybe i should've posted a few dozen random things before asking what i wanted to? anyway this isn't actually the first place i've been asking, not that you'd have any way to know that. and if you think i'm making this up then it seems pointless to continue, but any way, Lia is single and 21, Mita is 23, and the weather in back home in the U.K it would be crazy, yes but i currently live in Italy, and the temperature right now is 5-14 Celsius.
Welcome back, Aedan2. At least you didn't disappear like so many other first time posters around here.
"Aedan2" now that we have that little bit of detail we can understand the scenario much better. Even in Italy at this time of year only the most hardy, even fanatical, would be so dedicated to indoor nakedness. I can only speak for myself here but when I first discovered the joys of naturism around 15 years ago I went through a phase of looking for opportunities to get my kit off. Even then I was never as open as Lia appears to be but I did read accounts from other naturists who were and wished that I had the courage of my rather shallow convictions. There is something inexplicable about the sensation of body freedom which is almost a drug in that it can give you that extra special feeling of well being. In our society we do not get many options outside our own homes and the odd beach/swim to enjoy what to us is a real pleasure. At home often immediate family members are not so understanding and visitors even less so; It is a stage in Lia's life which she may grow out of or she may become even more determined with time; either way it is her choice. If she does raise the subject respect and try to understand her perspective. Not all people who try naturism find it so liberating but most of us do which is why we continue with it even if only on holiday beaches. Home indoor nudity is for many one of the few opportunities we get especially in countries like Italy where nude beaches are not as common as other European countries. Indoor nudity does allow year round body freedom if your family accepts it; it also gives those who are new to naturism and curious about it the chance try become comfortable with their own bodies in company. You are probably itching to get naked yourself and you could try nude relaxing with Mita, who may or not be nude as well, when you are alone. It may leave you non-plussed but it may give you an unexpected sensation of fulfillment.
yeah, i maybe should have said, it was a freakishly warm spell last time, and this time so far and this time so far her nudity has been restricted to indoors, with the heating on. took your advice and spent a day before we went to Mita's home naked, at first Mita stayed dressed but she didn't bother putting her clothes back on after she had a shower, might be because it was both in a setting and with a person i was already comfortable with but i didn't feel much different from normal, certainly no burning desire to become a nudist myself. Mita must have talked to Lia though, because when we got to there place she was clothed and after a few hours the three of us talked about it, Lia said her nudity was just because she felt more comfortable and 'free' without clothes 'restricting' her, but that she would happily stay clothed whilst i was there if it made me feel more comfortable, I said it wasn't necessary and I was trying to get more used to the concept. Lia has since suggested that Mita and I join her and a small group of friends who have formed a nudist club for a day at some point to get further 'acclimatized' Mita is eager but I'm not so sure.
"Aeden2" I really understand your apprehension for a non-nudist such as yourself to bare all for the first time in mixed company is a daunting prospect. You are relaxed with Mita which is a very good start; if you enjoyed the sense of body freedom with her then Lia's suggestion could be just the opportunity let you find out whether naturism is for you or not. Discuss your worries with Mita and may be also Lia. My biggest worry as a new nudist was the prospect of getting an erection I couldn't control; alone with Mita it would not be a problem. In a beach situation it rarely seems to happen and is easily disguised. In a party scenario with Lia and her friends it could be embarrassing for you though something they would probably treat with understanding. In your situation I'd go for it and try to enjoy it; most of us once the initial nerves are overcome never look back.
I don't view Aedan2's post as a troll thread. It's quite a common conundrum. One piece of advice: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!" It is her house and she has the right to go as she pleases, though it does sound like she might be on the verge of a temptress. A week with her could be... quite an adventure... Maybe you should strip down too — convert to nudism! Italians do engage in naturism; I've got several Italian friends who drink more lattés than you can poke a sugar spon at, and do it nude. You've got to start somewhere! Mind you the mentioned temperature in Italy is a bit cool even by my liberal standards.
