Family/Friends do not approve.

Does anyone have family or close friends who do not approve and are dead set against nudism? How do you deal with them?

 

Something I've never been interested in, living in a small country village it would be an outrage if you were seen without socks on

 

I've been living as a nudist ever since I had my own home. ( Over 40 years ) If I'm home I'm always naked. My late Mother had a problem accepting my nudity, and voiced her opinion every time she seen me nude! I am what I am, refusing to cover up even for close family.

 

Good for you, be true to yourself!

 

My family knows that I enjoy nudity. Yet, around them, other than my spouse, I cover out of respect for their feelings. Do any of them object to my lack of clothing? No objections have ever been voiced. If they would have my response would be to apologize for the unintended upset but it is what I enjoy and that's what counts to me.

 

Most of my family does not approve of my nudity. But that is who I am, and tell them take it or leave it. As well as my close friends. The close friends seem to more open about it then my family.

 

So whenever I am alone I am nude, this being said ,my family and friends would not understand, I've enjoyed nudity all my life , outside, inside. Driving the car , I do have a female bff who likes to see me nude and I have been nude in front of her on her deck while she went topless, I am 67 years young and hope to go to a nude beach someday I wish they had one in Michigan

 

While there are no official clothing optional beaches per se in Michigan, Otter Creek Beach might be your best choice. I understand that you can walk from the main entrance about a mile north and enjoy like minded people there.

 

My family is so close minded about nudism. But I guess I was just born hating to wear clothes.As a small boy I would go in the woods and strip naked, sometimes with friends. I moved in with my uncle and his adopted little boy when I was 15. It was great because my uncle encouraged me after seeing myself and Joshua swimming in the pool naked, that we could be naked any time in his home, him as well. He would throw pool parties and we all would be naked...

 

My adult children are quite prudish especially the 24yo non binary gendered ex daughter who still lives at home.
This summer I've been going naked inside and outside much much more than for a long time and would prefer not to cover up when they are around.
But I'm not sure how to even start a conversation about that.
Any suggestions?

 

Assuming that it's your house, just do it. Your house, your rules, and be naked if you want to.

 

i would do that, too. It might help a 24 year old ex daughter that still lives at home move out. LOL

 

Update: Saturday night I was painting a bedroom in our house and my wife suggested to only wear underwear, I told her later when we were sitting out side that I love being nude I took off my undies and she said that she understood. Although she did not join in..she told the neighbor gal that I am nude a lot and she laughed

 

Anyway my wife is ok with my nudity she knows now that I am nude every chance I get she said she had a feeling after her sister saw my naked backside through the window at our cabin up north her sister brings that incident up alot...I told her I want to go to a nude beach and or a nudist camp..

 

I have painted the bedroom in my house nude. Painting nude make for easy clean up. One day my wife is OK with me being nude then next she complains. I just stay nude unless we are expecting company.

 

When I was single, I was an "At home nudist." When my now wife started spending more time at my place I told her how I live and would be nude the whole time. I didn't expect her to join in.

We got married and about a year into it, she confesses that she hated me being nude in the apartment (that can really screw with your self-confidence).

So, we agreed that I would wear boxers and I'm nude when she is out of the house.

My advice to single nudists is to NOT marry a textile.

If we weren't expecting a child, I may have made different choices.

 

Ahhhh thats beautiful...Im glad you had such a good time there!!

Its natural and awesome being naked...... No one shouild be afraid of it!!

 

I haven't met anyone who would be okay with it. They haven't explicitly said it, but their behavior suggests its not okay. I wouldn't mind if they stayed dressed, I would just like the acceptance to be able to be nude with no judgment, but that will never happen unfortunately. I need to meet some nudist or nudist-accepting friends!
