 I've been a nudist all of my life, plus 9 months and 9 minutes, but I've never found it easy to introduce the subject. I enjoy being around and friends with fellow nudists, but I would love to include my circle of friends who are so inclined. I am a Christian, so I fear some would react from a religious standpoint, although I believe it isn't the fact you are nude, but your behavior; nude or not. We all sin, period. Not just when we are clothed or not. I am NOT a sinless person, just forgiven. So, is it worth the risk of relationship for nudity's sake ? My hope is the relationship would be strong enogh that it would not matter. That brings me full circle; How do I get the ball rolling with people I've known a long time, but have never known ?

 You can be direct and ask about an interest in naturism, or you can just bring up naturism in conversation to gauge how they feel about naturism. The trick is to not make a big deal out of it. Don't be afraid to share your experiences while at the same time don't go out of your way to censor out naturism. For example if you went on an awesome hike, or met someone at a naturist resort, you don't have to make it a point to say that you were nude, but don't try to leave that part out if it comes up. Some people here would tell you that you should be out advertising to everyone you come across. Keep in mind that you are under no obligation to include everyone in your life in every other aspect of your life. Think of your interest in naturism like an interest in another area in your life. Not everyone is going to be into it so you shouldn't worry so much about the rejection from them. If you think your friends or family members would react negatively, naturally you could avoid having that conversation all together. Good luck!

 Our current next door neighbor is moving. He's sold his house to a couple from New Hampshire. I've been walking around the yard in the nude ever since he put the house on the market. I was hoping that anyone looking at the house might look over and notice the naked body and either decide..."it's okay," or " I'm not buying THIS house...there's a naked guy next door!" It sold in one weekend!

Hoping the new neighbors are as accepting as this neighbor was...or they'll be another house on this block for sale! LOL
Wishing you luck with the new neighbors, FireProf. It'd be great if they're nudists as well so you can expand your network of nudist friends to include them.

Also hoping it is an even better situation than before. Change brings risks as what it opens is unknown but it can be getting better.

 I believe I will have to have a conversation with these new neighbors and tell them about us. Our current neighbor has been so accepting that it will be hard to have someone new move in and cause trouble for us. I am in the process of replacing some landscaping that will most likely cause some minor damage to our walkway, in time, but I feel the need to give us the privacy we want and need from those that may not understand what we do and how we live.

We'll see what happens!

 This past Saturday, I visited a local "watering hole" of mine, while my wife was attending a "ladies only" event for a family friend. I've become friends with one of the younger female bartenders and she happened to be working this Saturday for an even the bar/grill was having.

It was a "Bikini Car Wash" being held for the widow of a recently fallen local Marine. Though I took my classic car, I didn't let them wash it but did give them a nice donation to the cause.

This "friend" of mine saw me arrive, brought me my beer out to the patio area and sat with me. She stated that she didn't go on for a couple hours and was there just make sure things ran smoothly with the Car Wash.

As we sat, she noticed my "Live Naked" wrist band I wear. She had asked me a couple of questions before noticing the wrist band and before I could answer her first two questions she asked ... "what's that mean ... live naked?" I said ... "hahaha...one question at a time." I began answering her first question but all she wanted to know about was what "live naked" meant. So I began to tell her.

After explaining and trying to dispell all the misconceptions of nudism/naturism, she said ... "I want to go but not alone, will you go with me?" I had to think on that one for a little bit. I would definately tell my wife that this person is interested and that we could go together to take her or I will do it with her permission.

Still have to talk to this friend a bit more but ... I may have not only convinced this young woman to give it a try and at least visit our club but ... the female owner of the bar/grill as well. The female owner and I have had conversations regarding nudity at home, nude sunbathing and swimming, which she readily admits to while she's at home but has never visited a nude club or resort. She's also expressed interest.

I think the thing that impressed me and that I appreciated was that both women said they felt "safe" with me and wanted to visit with me or me and my wife. I try and give them all the answers to their questions but sometimes ... "seeing is believing" and it's better to see it for themselves.

I may be taking one or two friends to the club shortly. After I do, I'll let you know how it went. But in keeping with the "topic" ... I wear my "Live Naked" wrist band (similar to the yellow "Live Strong" wrist band of Lance Armstrong). The Live Naked wrist band is almost clear. It has started many a conversation about Living Naked, nudism and where we go.

:D
