Hello! Any nudists here?

I go anyplace I can!

 

Just Two more steps and you’re on the happy side of the sign post!
But you are over dressed for the occasion

 

I'm not a nudist. That is, I don't enjoy being around other people without clothes. However, I consider nudity a high level of connection with nature.
When I lived in my hometown village, I would meditate in a forest clearing completely naked, or swim in a lake and then sunbathe without clothes. However, it was in a place where there was no chance of anyone being there. It was a place where the man-made world ended and pure nature began

 

Totally agree. Hiking, swimming or just relaxing nude in nature is very…I don’t know, centering.
In my mind I’d categorize you as a “ naturist “ as opposed to a “ nudist”. I feel like nudists tend to be more social while naked and enjoy nude resorts and beaches while naturist enjoy being nude at home, in their own garden or off in the forest alone.

 

Yes, this definition may be closer to the truth. Seeking a connection with nature, with the energy of Mother Earth, I realize that I feel most comfortable naked in the midst of nature. It's the most natural and allows me to experience the world in a powerful way. But I can only experience this in places I know are devoid of human presence. Sometimes I'm naked at home

 

I had to wear my bikini to get there... Once I was on the other side.... It didn't take long!

 

I thought so lol !!....

 

I am not a nudist but did go to one in Lake County California when i was a young adult. I am very self conscious about my genetalia size (which is average). I asked a young lady to accompany me. She was reluctant at first but finialy agreed to accompany me

I found out a lot about women on that day.

1. Many woman are proud about their bodies and are comfortable being nude in mixed company.

2. Women are more interested in men with a nice fit body than the size of their genetalia.

 

Ironically naked people are far more social…and accepting of others.
When I was a very young kid I was extremely self-conscious of my lack of size - finding a nude beach and finding out no one took a second look or said a negative word.
One of the most freeing and confidence building experiences of my life.

 

I agree with that. I called in, by arrangement, with a friend one summers day. Arranged before we knew it would be so sunny and warm. She wore Daisy Duke type shorts and a top from her bikini.

I had no shorts or suchlike and was disappointed in myself that I "couldn't" strip down. She suggested I take off my shirt and pants; she wouldn't object. I did so but I don't wear underwear so I was nude and I stripped partly for badness and partly to see where things would develop. She was a little surprised but also quite pleased. Had she known it was 'ok' to get nude she would've been nude when I arrived.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, to get to the point, her best friend would be calling in so she texted her to explain we were nude. No worries.

After introductions (I'd briefly met her once before but not exchanged names), we chatted in the sun with a glass of wine.

The conversation went into intimate and personal areas and we discussed things that I'd only ever done so with a GF or wife.

No judgement from them or me about each other and I think, without our armour (clothes), we had fewer inhibitions, less to hide behind such that, when I was asked something which I thought was very personal, I answered without hesitation.

I felt much more at ease with them whilst nude and many more times were spent nude with each and both of them. Nudity together became the norm.

 

I’ve been saying for 25 years now that I’m simply not myself wearing clothes. I also struggle with social anxiety but for whatever reasons, I’m comfortable when I’m nude. Taking off my clothes has always been the only anti anxiety drug I need. I’ve had 3 different therapists over the years concur that this is not unique to me.

 

Good to know we are not in this world alone. I thought it was a little odd that with all the anxiety I feel leading when I think of others judgement it seems to evaporate into the sky’s when the sun hits my flesh…. My happy place!

 

most of my nudity has been alone in the woods/beaches etc. I have been to nude beaches and have chatted with others. I do agree there is a relaxed vibe…..however I am a little self conscious. I am not ashamed of my body, just a tad awkward.

 

This is me as well

 

That's cool how not doing something help's your anxiety.Do you feel different when nude i do?I feel feminen,i know wierd huh.Have a great day!

 

Casual nudist here - lots of nudists and open minded folks on here

 

Aww, it’s not weird, it’s just how you personally feel.

I do feel differently nude for sure. I like warm sunshine on my skin, I like a cool breeze, I like how my body moves when it’s not restricted by clothing.
Although it definitely had a lot to do with my childhood. My folks let me run around nude all the time. My mother still blames herself for my lifestyle choices. Haha. In a lighthearted loving manner of course.

 

I suspect the Initial experience stems from the same thing. I remember as a little kid getting out of the bath and running around naked with my brothers and sister just felt so amazing…

My mom was a huge prude but she would be busy finishing the bath with the others and we were free to play naked till she was done then rounded all up and dressed us in our PJs.
The few moments of bliss- I always looked for that feeling again.

 

we did the same when little after a bath ran around nude till mom got the pj's on small world

 

Thank you
