| Other than more work on my privacy area, thats about all the plans for now. I got a free hot tube last year and am working on creating a area for it and hope to get it going soon.... | |

| While I agree with Ron, There is another issue with the process he mentioned, If there are any Cracks in the battery, the soda (coke or Baking soda either) will neutralize (KILL) the battery cells. So be VERY careful unless you are prepared to replace the battery. Male or Female!! This is cautionary!! | |

| I'm sure there may be some reasons for some to keep their profile to be kept private, but I don't really understand that. As some have posted, if you don't want it seen, don't post it!! I'm sorry they can't be comfortable enough to have their profile public..... | |
| Nudist Individuals |
|
| I totally agree!! I would think a week or so is MORE than enough time for someone to get their info updated!!(And that goes for a profile pix as well) | |

| We are planning on going to the 5K at Wildwood on the 27th with 2 other couples we hang out with. This will be the first time for the girls to be nude with us as a group. Hopefully this will be a turning point for them when we get together in the future. | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| Would it be a BETTER place? I think so!! A human Right or Allowed? I WISH IT WAS!! But who knows if it would ever be possible in the US or any other country....We can HOPE!!!! | |

|
| Well ME personally, I consider myself nude! I have seen other comments referring to themselves one or the other. I feel that "nude" is a choice, "naked" is how a person finds themselves, maybe unexpected. I have not asked my wife's input yet, but that's how I feel as a male! | |
| Nudist Individuals |
|
| Olivia, If you get to N.Texas area, I can recommend Wild Wood in Decatur TX. They have most of the things you listed, and I know they have allowed singles to visit, and they have camping areas as well. Being a married male, my wife and I have gone, as well as me and friends without any mates. My wife was made welcome and felt pretty comfortable being her first nude social experience, even though she doesn't think of herself as a nudist..... | |
| Clothing Optional Bed & Breakfasts |
|
| That's how we are too, prefer smaller place. Guess you could use your RV and make it more of a camping type setting like a Waggon train type and keep it a small group...:)) | |

| http://nudistclubhouse.com/redirect.php?url=http://www.chaparralresortbandb.com/ This is the B&B we went to a couple years ago. Not too far from us, and a small quiet place which we really felt comfortable. They only had 4 rooms at the time and didnt want to get any bigger at that time so it could be kept as a very private place to relax. | |

|
| I found it and joined last night. Didn't seem to be much going on there yet but will keep checking back to see if there is anything I can input.... | |
| Clothing Optional Bed & Breakfasts |
|
| From the experience of the B&B I have been to and the thinking from my wife's thinking, CO would be the Best way! The patrons could ease into nude or just Jump into nude. My wife was ok with looking into enjoying nudity but NOT READY to be forced by anyone to HAVE to strip nude, until she was ready, IF she chose to. I think having owners that could aid in the transition would need to be a requirement!! I know we both had questions and concerns and having the owners being able to help us understand was a BIG help!! | |

| GO FOR IT JIM!!!Great idea!! Wish I could get my wife out of the state!!!and a B&B is EVEN BETTER!!! | |

|
| HERE HERE Smokey!! I totally agree!! My wife likes it when I open the door for her and stuff like that!! NOT because she cant do it, it just shows her a bit more that I care about her. I open doors LOTS of time for people when I'm out and about. It's surprising how many people dont even acknowledge that I did, but I still do it... | |

| I found the Speed Channel and searched for Fooses show but didn't find anything coming up. We have DirecTV here....guess I'll have to look another way.... | |

| WOW!! This group has been silent for a while!!! While my wife does not consider herself a nudest or anything close to it, she has been sleeping topless for about a year now, even in the winter months!!! She wont hang around the house nude nor topless, but she did comment to me the other day that i would be nice to go back to the Resort we had gone to before but ONLY after she got some sun!! At least she was open to the idea of going again!! We did get a above ground pool last summer and we would hang out nude around it if it was just us. All I can suggest is to NOT push too much and let them adjust at their own speed..... | |
| Classic Cars & Trucks |
|
| Thanks for letting me join your group! I dont have a Classic car or truck but I do like to mess with cars and go to shows when I can. Would love to see more pix of your rides or projects!! My first car was a 68' Pontiac Tempest 2 door. Looked a lot like a GTO, just not as nice. Hopefully some day I can get another Classic to enjoy!! | |

| I wish we could say/think that there should be NO reason for any need for ANY weapons especially at a resort, but in the world we live in these days, that is just not reality!! I personally do not carry, but I know some that do always! I do feel a bit safer when around them, and would feel better knowing that there were some around that are trusted with weapons that could protect others if needed!! So I guess you could say that I am FOR Guns (In the PROPER hands of course!!). | |
| Nudist Individuals |
|
| When my wife and I went to Wildwood, my wife was very nervous that she would see someone she knows/works with. I tried to explain to her that it shouldnt be an issue because they would be there for the same reason as we were, but she didnt really see it from my viewpoint. She is not comfortable with her body yet and not as comfortable with being nude as I am. I am hoping we can go back to Wildwood this Spring/Summer so she can experience more comfort in the idea of being nude as well as with others. I dont have a problem in seeing people I might know in the nude, afterall we are doing the same thing with the same interest..... | |

| I, like others, never heard of AANR or TNS up until a few years ago when I started looking into nudist lifestyle. I agree that these groups could/should be more visable. As far as the church goes, I am a Christian, and am a part of a Baptist church, but I have my opinions as well, so I choose to be quiet around that group but that doesnt mean I am not a nudist, nor does it mean that I support the nudist lifestyle. Because my extended-family is SOOOO involved with the church, I/we, HAVE to be more cautious with our nudist feelings just to keep things civil. Most of our families would be ABSOLUTLY against a nudist lifestyle, and MOSTLY due to Christian/Church upbringings!! I wish I could be more open with my feelings about nudity, but it's just not an option at this point. I have been open to my kids and sisters, but have not been nude around any of them yet, and dont see it happening anytime soon either, thanks to church upbringings!! | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| I really don't have a problem with labels, some people call be a redneck along with other thinks, but I consider myself a nudist as well cause I choose/want to be nude any chance I can, and YES I do cook and clean nude anytime I can along with auto repairs and carpentry around the house... So, Yes, I might be a nudist if....(because I choose to be nude when I can.:)) | |

| We had a good day with family over, about 30 of us on my wife's side. Everybody is gone now, house is cleaned up and back in order, so now I am alone at home enjoying nude time for the night since wife and daughters are out hitting the stores for sales.... | |
| Texas Nudists and Resorts |
|
| Well I haven't been able to get to our closest resort this year, but I have made a few changes at home. I enlarged our privacy area of the yard and made a new door opening into my shop which allows us to go from the house into the shop area without having to get dressed. We can now enjoy the pool, sun, work in the shop, grill or pretty much what we want in this area. I also got a used hot tub to add to this area also, after I do some work on it. All this allows my wife and others to get more comfortable with being nude on a smaller setting. We do have some friends that we get together with and the guys enjoy nude freedom but the ladies have yet to join us so far..... | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| I have to say that IF I could do it again and go back to when my kids were young, I WOULD do it different by being nude around them and ALLOW them to join me nude or not, without making them stay covered as I was raised. I wouldnt say that there is a certain age where they should be allowed to make their own choices, but with our guidance as parents we can guide them along to make some of those choices that will affect the rest of their lives. I would NOT FORCE them toward nudity, but ALLOW them the choice!! | |

| We have a Whippet Border Collie mix. Our son wanted a dog and we found a litter of pups that were being given away, my son picked out this one and we took him home, took him to the vet to be checked out and all shots, all in good health and condition. I wasnt as excited to get a dog but we got him and have had him about 10 yrs now. I ended up getting very close to him while I was recovering from knee surgery and he has become my little buddy!! He still gets so excited when we throw a ball, he LOVES tennis balls!!! When he was very young I got a can of tennis balls and he would chase all 3 of them around at the same time, kind of like juggling them. He still does this even being a 10 year old dog. He is still very active and loves to run!! He is an outdoor dog now, but comes into the laundry room at times where I have a space set up for him when he doesnt want to be outside. I have a pix of him in my photos.... | |
| Nudes Who Cook |
|
| A few months ago we had 2 other couples over for the weekend. Us guys are always nude when they are here, but not the girls. We were planning to go out for breakfast on Saturday AM, but I had a internet tech scheduled to come out so we ended up cooking breakfast at home. The guys worked together creating custom Omeletes for everyone, then later in the day we grilled burgers for everyone, ALL while nude. The girls got a real treat having 3 naked guys doing all the cooking for the weekend while the girls just sat back and got waited on. They really liked not having to do much more than relax!! | |
| Just for fun |
|
| commando always, nude as much as possible!! I cant stand having to wear any kind of underwear, so I just dont wear them for several years now. | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| I have tried discussing/explaining being a nudist/being nude in general, to my sister but she just cant get past the nude=sex issues. She is a good bit older than me and we were all raised to be clothed and covered at all times, so I guess she is still thinking that way. I wish I could get it across to her that WE just enjoy life without clothes instead of being dressed!! She may never "get it", but I will keep trying to explain it...... | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| Funny this topic came up now as I am expecting a delivery today myself. As much as I would like to be able to answer the door nude, I will be respectful and use a towel to cover, and maybe that might start a conversation with the delivery person. Guess we will see... | |
| New to Nudism |

| GREAT article!!!! Thanks for sharing!! | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| I think we should be able to be nude in and around our home if we want, unfortantly not every member of my household feels the same. As long as my step-daughter is not here, it is not an issue for me to be nude, but if she is here I have to be more careful about where/when I can be nude. My wife is not as interested in nudity.... | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| I have slept nude since leaving home at 17! My wife of 25 years has realised over the last year that she is much more comfy sleeping nude, even though we mostly are under a sheet at least. I am very hot natured while sleeping, so not a lot of cuddling.. lol!! | |
| Texas Nudists and Resorts |
|
| While I do not understand ALL the technicality of the wording, It seems there is a lot of mumbo-jumbo in it all!! I guess we all just have to just take it on ourselves to do as we would like as far as being nude/topless!! Best of luck to ALL of you!! | |
| Texas Nudists and Resorts |
|
| Well I am limited on experiences at resorts, but I spend a lot of time nude at home, in and around the house and yard. I hang out nude alone and occasionally with a couple nudist buds too. I would go to Wildwood more often if finances allowed, but for now they dont....So for now, I am mostly a Home Nudist..... | |

|
| We have stayed at 2 different B&B's, One was CO while the other was Clothes only! With both, we had a nice room with all the standard decor and linens, a private bath,... We prefered the CO B&B cause we had the option to be clothes free and roam the grounds as we wanted. We only stayed 1 night at each, but a GREAT breakfast was included with each, made to our wishes. It was a great get-a-way for the night. I guess we could have done the same thing, or close, at a nude resort and much cheaper, but it was an experience for us....at this point, I think we will choose to stay at a nude resort so we have more freedom for less money and do our own thing. | |

| I AM A NUDIST!! And I use both terms at different times. AM I wrong for using either of them?? I really dont think so!! I do feel that "nude" is better than "naked" at times, but to each his own as to what term you choose to use!! After all, If you are nude, are you not naked too?? | |

| Well Allen, that sounds like a great experience!! Sorry you mom did not embrace your new found life!! Hope you can work out things to be able to carry on your desires to be nude!! | |
| nude driving |
|
| I do pretty much the same thing of keeping my shorts/towel handy. While I do drive higher profile vehicles and not tinted driver windows, I still keep something handy just in case.... I too have thought about how nice it would be to drive nude in a convertable!!! Just dont have access to one... | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| First off, I was not allowed to be clothes free, not even shirt free, as a child, and I didnt raise my kids with a nude option, but if I could do it all over I WOULD raise them exposed to the nudist lifestyle and they would know that it was ok IF they wanted to be nude at home especially!! With the understanding that not everyone sees it to be ok to be nude so there would need to be times that require clothing. Just my opinion.... | |

| Does being a nudist take the Thrill out of life? Yes and No. Yes, I cant enjoy my everyday life with errands, etc while being nude!! No, because I can enjoy my Home time nude for the most part, just wish I could be nude even more at home, but due to my step-daughter being here I have to be more cautious around her being here.... | |
| Absolute Naturists |

| I put it in my Calender as a reminder! I hope to join in on this too! I talked with a couple buddies today about it too, hopefully we can get together and take new pix to add as well.... | |

|
| I CAN see how body language can be mis-leading!! I have felt like some may have thought the same of me as I am not an outgoing person either and usually keep to myself for a while when in ANY setting, clothed or not! But just because I am not an outgoing person and not so much a mingler, does not make me a pervert or anything, just shy. I try desperatly to be cautious to not send out that kind of vibe to ANYONE!! I DO think some people may not realize that other people may be reading TOO much into what they see or percieve from others..... | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| I feel there ARE LOTS of people that DO have body issue hangups, but my guess is that they may not be as much of a nudist as others and thats ok too. I do live my life as nude as I can, but I am not all hung up on how my body looks, feels, etc....If I dont like what I see in the mirror, I AM the person who has to change it, just my opinion. | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| The ONLY CO B&B we have been to was great!!! Small setting but very practical!!! A GREAT ice breaker for my wife!!! We really enjoied ourselves there the one night we we were there!!We wished we had not left, but we had other reservations that were NOT C/O or Nude..... If it had not been for us staying at this place, we may have never checked out any other resorts of any nude lifestyle!!! Chaparalle Resort in Weatherfofd TX is small but very accomidating!!!Especially for anybody that is hessitant to try nudism as a lifestyle!! Don & Pat are very Nice people!!! | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| I admit i dont know enough about pole dancing my self, but I would think that it would only ADD to the thoughts of the people that question nudity vs sex!! It may very well be exercise but in most peoples eyes it would be more sexual than excercise..... | |

| I agree Fireprof!! Wife has to work late, so I got her a card, Will be making dinner for us and our daughter, doing a little decorating too, and some fresh Strawberries, dipping chocolate and wine for the two of us later tonight. With her work schedule, I had to keep plans flexible.... She thinks we are going out to a local family owned pizza place, I think she will be pleasantly surprised!! I do things like this ever so often, but I dont think she will expect it tonight. | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| Even though we live in the country, there is a lot of traffic passing our place. Our house is about 300 ft from them road, so it is not as visable from the road as some. I often make trips to/from the shop nude, a few times in the daytime, but a lot of times after dark!!!! Wish we had more privacy than we have... | |
| you're friends aren't nudists?! |
|
| Some of us are nudist, some not to that point, We got together with some friends and joked and laught a ton!!!! While we did not get nude, we did have a Great time and joked a lot about our lives!! It was a VERY GOOD time with our fiends!!! Any Stories?? | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| While I can appreciate the idea of being able to completly disclose my person, I am still a little too concerned about the internet part with all the identity theft stuff going on. I am not trying to say that anybody here would be that kind of person, it is still a big concern. So on that note, I am TXpopi. If we are to get close enough to get connected later on and we all get comfoftable enough with each other, our true idenity will come out then. I hope this comes across correctly and civil. Another thing is in my opinion is that sometimes our "nickname" is easier to remember at times than our real names.... | |

| Well based on ALL this debate on Introvert or Extrovert, I guess I am a Introvert with a Extrovert undertone. I seem to be the one in everyday life that takes charge, but not that I really want to be the ONE that does. Guess I am one of the introverts that can only stand back just so long, somebody HAS to step up and get it done! That said I DO consider myself to be an introvert, but I guess if you ask some people, I am an Extrovert. I think Most people have that same feeling, Somebody HAS to step up and get it done, but most are to afraid/shy to take that responsibility!! I KNOW there are STRONGER people than I, but those are the ones that step up first, AND THATS OK TOO!!! Not everybody is a leader and not everybody is a follower. I would say that most Extroverts are more likly to be leaders and some Introverts are Followers, BUT thats NOT the RULE! Just My Thoughts..... | |

|
| I absolutely agree!! Raise your kids/Grandkids to be nudist if you can!! If you start out when they are young and teach them all along the way about the nudist lifestyle, they will be miles ahead of the general public in body acceptance as well as social skills!! | |
| Middle Aged and Nude |
|
| Thanks for allowing me to enter this group. Even though I am now 50 and dont have little ones at home on a daily basis, I do have Grandkids every other weekend at our house, so I hpoe to have some influence on them as well as their parents....Wish I had done things different in earlier days!! | |

| Thats great that they have this survey for the public. I completed the survey myself, hopefully each persons voice will add up to a positive step towards a nude area. | |

| When your spouse is not a nudist |
|
| Fireproof is spot ON!! Even though my wife still wont hang out nude/topless at home (mostly cause older daughter and our son are home and she is just not ready to be nude around them)she will go out to our little pool topless/nude. She is slowly coming around!! We have a anniversary coming this weekend and we started talking a while back about getting away. MUCH to my surprise, she was thinking about going to a resort of some kind. I showed her the C/O & nudist resorts close to us and she chose Wildwood which is all nude, so we are going there on Friday and stay in a cabin they have till Sunday. I am really hoping she will get very comfortable with this lifestyle and continue at home more. I have really backed off on asking her to join me nude and I think that has helped. Just doing it myself and let her choose if she wants to join or not. Just be patient!! and dont push too hard!! | |

| When your spouse is not a nudist |
|
| Not sure if this qualifies as "Vacation"? I do have a reluctant Wife. Up till about a year ago, she would never do/have anything to do with nudity other that the marital stuff. I had been talking to her about trying it seems like forever!! She finally agreed to go to a C/O B&B with the understanding that if she was too uncomfortable we would leave. And she was not getting naked! We did stay and she was fairly comfortable but only got nude once in the pool. We did talk alot about that trip and it was good. Over the past few monthes we have had a very busy time in our life, so I told her a few weeks ago that on July 8th I wanted her to take off work and I wanted us to go somewhere where we would be nude. She agreed, I gave her choices of where to go by letting her look at the websites. She actually chose WildWood Naturist Resort which is a nudist resort. We did go, we had a good time but she got sunburned. It was a very slow day so we had a lot of time to just experience it all. she would carry her towel over her tummy area when walking around, but would lay out and even float in the pool uncovered! This was a BIG step for her in my opinion. Due to her burn, she did not want to go back on Saturday but was ok with me going and meeting a friend ther which I did. After I got home, we did a lot of talking about all this and even looked at Both of the websites I am member of. I think all this went well, and hope that we can go back soon so we BOTH can experience this lifestyle more together. She did say that she did not mind me going without her at times, but wanted us to go together too!! I wouldnt say that she is a nudist now but she is much more comfortable with it. So, don't push, don't give up hope that it will never happen, cause she may surprise you one day and AGREE to go try it!! Best of luck to ALL of us... | |

| Even before I knew about Nude Rec Week, I talked to my wife about going somewhere we could enjoy some nude relaxation. So we started planning for Friday, July 8th. She took off, and gave in to go. We are planning to go to Wildwood for the day on Friday. We will see where we go from there... HOPEFULLY she will love it and want to go back on Saturday too!!! | |

| While I do consider my self to be an absolute Naturist (being/supporting Naturism when possible) I am feeling that this group is fosusing on a Dogmatic Stance as opposed to an option of being clothed or not. I DO PREFERE to be nude, so I feel that I AM AN ABSOLUTE NATURISTS! Even though SOME may not agree!! I know we all have the option to agree/disagree! I just dont understand the Stance of "you have to be nude or otherwise". My wife is still at the point of not sure, so in her support, I feel that the stance of "YOU ARE A NUDIST OR YOU ARE NOT" is a bit forceful!! I thought I was being an ABSOLUTE NATURIST, Maybe I was mislead!!! | |

|
| WOW, I am stoked!! My wife gave in to go to Wildwood in a couple weeks. I gave her options of C/O or Nude, she chose nude!! Totally Surprised!!! She will be covered at first I am sure, but thats OK too!!! GUYS!! DONT GIVE UP!!! | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| LOL!!! I would LOVE to be doing that too!! I tried to join the Nude Driving group several weeks ago, but still havent heard a word. Enjoy your NUDE Trip/Day. I will be with you in my mind!! | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| For me, the only reason for me HIDING is that socity(my neighborhood, even though it is country) does not agree that being nude in public is OK. As a result, I have to stay behind walls and fences for the most part (except for the occasional nude driving venture). | |
| Absolute Naturists |
|
| Another thing is that here in the US, most people are teaching the children that nudity is wrong!! I think we have to do a better job of teaching that Nude does not have to equal sex. | |

| I am not really sure about the "practicing" nudist thing. But I am nude as often as I can. I do live in the country but still have neighbors/ranchers around at times, so We are more careful being exposed when they are out. I want to ask them how they feel about nudity, but havent gotten the courage yet. I dont even think about aircrafts being an issue and we ARE close to the DFW flight plan. Just try to be yourself nude or otherwise in your own space as you wish!!!! Life is short!! BTW, We ARE Baptists, I just prefere to be nude!! | |

| I agree that C/O is great for beginners. My wife was the same, not wanting to get nude even though she was almost nude with only a coverup. We havent been anywhere else yet, but we are thinking about going back to the same B&B in a few weeks. I am being patient with her about it, dont want her to take 3 steps back!! If I tried to push her into a NUDE ONLY setting, She would never want to even consider the whole idea... One Day At A Time!! She even came in from work today and WANTED to get some sun!! | |

| I do live nude as much as I can and consider myself a nudist. Problem is that I do not live at a Nudist Resort/Comunity, so I am not able to be as open and free as I would like. I would LOVE it if I could!! Maybe some day.... | |

| This has been a GOOD weekend so far for discussion. Wife and I have done a good bit of talking about the nudist lifestyle.. She is not SOLD yet, but closer than before! She spent most of the day with me totally Nude! Thats a biggie!! for her. We enjoyied a good bit of sun together and a small pool that we bought Friday night.... | |

| That is so true. I was just talking to my wife about nudism tonight, and that is how I refered to it......so true. | |
| When your spouse is not a nudist |
|
| OMG!! This is too strange! This is along the same idea I did last Aug.2010. It was our 23 Anniversary and very close to my B-day, she gave in to go to a C/O B&B in Texas. We were there just under 24 hours and she seemed to love it. We have yet to go anywhere Nude or otherwise except for our own back yard, but I am not giving up on her understandng more about this lifestyle choice. We have talked a good bit about it all this weekend....We will see where it goes from here. | |

| Well, Sunbunny & Fireprof, You have really opened my eyes to the cost of nudism. Even though my personal finances are not what I wish they were, I DO SEE YOUR POINT!! I WILL be refiguring to fit in some memberships as I can. At this point, I am not a Premium Member here, But I hope to change that very soon, and go on from there...to maybe AANR, not sure where from there....I would appreciate your guidance on that. Thanks for the PUSH!! LOL | |

| Craig, Don't give up hope!! My wife too was simular about a year ago. But last year just before our anniversary, she had a change of mind. We went to a SMALL C/O B&B, we had a really good time and she told the owners that "WE WILL BE BACK" even though she and I had not talked about it. She is not where I would like her to be yet, but she is much closer than a year ago!! Be patient and don't push TOO hard and she may come around slowly.... | |

| My wife too, seems to be loosening up to some extent. She has started sleeping nude for a couple month, Has laid out sometimes topless/sometimes nude. She is not comfortable being nude around her daughter (which lives with us) or even topless other than getting some sun. Because of the daughter, I cannot go around nude if she is home. We havent talked about going to a resort this summer yet. I'm not giving up though!! Just being patient with her as much as I can. | |

| When your spouse is not a nudist |
|
| My wife is slowly coming around to some degree. She has started sleeping top-less at least, sometimes more. We just had a discussion from another group about how we should have raised our kids to be more open and not ashamed of nudity. I was very surprised that she agreed with how I was feeling about the subject. My suggestion to any reluctant spouse/partner is to just enjoy your choice with disgression for now and work into as much nude time as possible over time. There will probably be times you will NOT agree, but those are growing pains as a couple in my opinion. You learn to choose your battles not JUST the war.... | |

| As I was disscussing this with my wife, She brought something to my attention, that if I were to ask my grown children this very question, they would say that they were not comfortable with nudity due to the way they were taught from childhood. I know..., SHAME ON ME for allowing them to be taught to have those feelings. I KNOW IF I HAD IT TO DO IT OVER AGAIN, I WOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER/DIFFERENT JOB in raising my children that nudity was wrong!!!! But that is MY problem to overcome/correct, which I am In the process of doing now!! | |

| To me a nudist is one that makes a choice to be NUDE, A naturist is one that abides by the laws of nature and trying to be as close to nature as possible. Even though I try to be as conservative and try to recycle all that I can in life, I guess I prefere Nudist because that is the Lifestyle in witch I try to live. But I am ok with either Label. | |

| ARE WE ALL BEING PETTY NOW?? People will do what they want, when they want. This is ALL a PERSONAL CHOICE ISN'T IT??? The reason and result are petty arent they?? | |

| At this point I am not a member of either of these organizations. I am fairly new to considering myself an actual nudist, and that is why I am here, to help myself understand more of the reasons I, as well as others, have made this choice. I do realize the importance of having representation for these rights we want to enjoy and I appreciate all of that. My problem is that at this point it is a financial problem for me to be able to join either or both. I hope that I will be able too at some point in the near future. Thank You to ALL those that can afford to be members to further this cause. | |

| I agree with Fireproof, It is a personal preference for me to trim/shave/groom as I prefer. I am not trying to get anyone to/not to shave or not. It is my choice just like everyone else. Do what you feel is what YOU want to do. | |

Third, My wife joined Weight Watchers last January, and has been walking alot with diet changes, which we as a family are doing as well. She has lost 50lbs so far, and I and have lost about 15-20 since I started walking with her during the summer. We are really stopping second helpings and just trying to make BETTER choices. Yes I too need to loose about 20 more lbs. I know I would feel/look better. | |

| BigBare, I am so sorry to hear about your sons situation!! I also have DJD, and have 4 joints replaced/repaired. I have also gone thru Pain Management a couple of times here in Texas. I dont like the idea of being on Disability, but I didnt have a choice. That allowed me to have insurance and a income based on my work history before things got so bad. I still deal with joint pain on a daily bases but it is not as bad for me as it could be. I will definitaly keep him in my prayers. | |

| I too was shocked to hear "ok, but I'm not getting naked". I had jokingly asked to go somewhere we could get naked other than home. Always the SAME answer, NO!! But this past August she said "ok". We did go, had a good time. She even told the owners that we would be back! I guess she had a better time that I thought. Havent been able to get back there this year, HOPEFULLY in the springtime!!

| Thanks Sanman, I went to that site and this is what it says for the state of Texas; Title 9 Section 21.08, Indecent Exposure. (a) A person commits an offense if he exposes his anus or any part of his genitals with intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person, and he is reckless about whether another is present who will be offended or alarmed by his act. Title 9 Section 42.01, Disorderly Conduct. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly: (1) Exposes his anus or genitals in a public place and is reckless about whether another may be present who will be offended or alarmed by his act. Just in case anyone doesnt want to take the time to look it up for themselves. Thank again. | |

My wife fits right in there with the comments here on this subject, "Body Issues" and the pervs she thinks are at any place where womem are in any way nude or even close. I sure am glad I found the Nudist Club House!! | |

| My wife doesn't really have a problem with me being nude around the house as long as our daughter is not home. I get my naked time during the day for the most part, everyone is gone except our son that is in college, but he doesnt have classes all day, every day and he says he is ok with me being naked. I do my best to get as much naked time as I can | |

| I agree with Cheri, My nipples are erect at different times, not sure from a mans standpoint if that means anything, but just because MY nipples are erect does not mean I am in a sexual mood or not. I Do LOVE the looks of erect nipples, but that does noit mean everyone is horny. | |

| I just started trimming everything. I have been shaving my privates for about 2 years now. But just started trimming the rest of my body hair because I do not like to look at another mans body hair, so I thought outhers might not want to see mine as well. My body, My choice. | |
| When your spouse is not a nudist |
|
| I TOTALLY agree with Fireproof, I REALLY WISH that my wife was truly open to the understanding that I Just Want to enjoy being Naked with likeminded others(Male/Female). At this point she is not there, yet. My back yard is limited, yes I can get Sun or Shade, but At this point, I have NO ONE local to share this lifestyle with, and I CANNOT afford to go to a resort/club to share this lifestyle with at this point. This is not a sexual thing for me, just enjoy being Clothes-Free!! | |
| When your spouse is not a nudist |
|
| OK Fireproof, I agree with your comment about what else are you hiding? I feel like my wife would not accept my choice to be public about nudity. She KNOWS about me wanting to be nude, she just does not agree with my choice at this time. I do not mean to hide anything from her, she just does not understand why I chose to be nude. She still thinks it has everything to do with SEX. How do I get it across to her that SEX has nothing to do with NUDE for me? I know it is not your problem, just looking for help!!! :( | |
| First Time Stories |
|
| My/our first time in a social nude setting was on our 23rd anniversay weekend. We had several times discussed going to a Clothing optional resort, but she would have no part of it. After a Heart to Heart discussion she gave in to go to a Clothing Optional Bed & Breakfast not too far from us. I made the arrangements but I figured she would back out at the last minute. We were both nervous, having never been or done anything like this before. We arrived at the B&B, meet the owners, they gave us a tour, meet the other guests, they showed us to our room we had rented, which overlooked the pool and hot tub area. We were getting settled and getting undressed while looking out at the pool wondering if we were really ready for this. I got naked, my wife got into her new swimsuit. We made our way to the pool, layed out for a while then decided we would go get something to eat. We got back into our street cloths and went to eat. After we got back, we hung out on the porch naked trying to get use to the whole idea a little more. After a while, we made our way back to the pool, me nude, my wife in a covershirt only. We decided to get in the pool but it was a nude area only, so my wife slipped out of her shirt discretly and into the pool. This was her first time at skinny dipping. After a while we all decided to go over to the Saloon. All the men(4 of us) were nude, 2 of the women in cover shirts only, 2 in panties only. We all hung out playing pool and darts and just talking for about 3-4 hours. The next morning we ALL had breakfast on the patio, everybody nude except my wife in a small top and shorts. After breakfast we packed for our next stop which was not a nude place. When we went to check out, my wife told the owners that we had a great time and we would be back. I was shocked since we had not discussed it, but that was ok with me too. We went on to a cabin that I had already prepaid for. We were very disappointed with the cabin and wished we had just stayed at the B&B, but it was 3 hours the other way. Overall we had a Great First Time Experience being nude in a public type setting. We hope to go back to the B&B as money and time allow. | |

| We moved to the country just over a year ago, but we do have a few houses that are closer than we would prefer. We had only 1 straight line privacy fence and no fenced area for our dog. So I put up a cheap fence for the dog, which I will reuse when I can afford to put up a real privacy fence there. In the mean time I added some Bamboo fencing to the cheap fence, which I used last summer for a private sun area. A few weeks ago, we put up a privacy fence on the other side of the house which allows us to enjoy a private area at almost any time we want day or night. We also added a small fire pit. We plan to sit out there naked tonight and enjoy the fire pit and star gaze with a glass or 2 of wine. We hope to add some kind of Tubs or Hot Tub in the future when money allows. My wife is not really into being nude as much, so we have only enjoyed this area nude just the 2 of us, but have enjoyed it with other a few times while clothed. | |

| Thanks for the add. I have been a closet nudest for a good while, but resently decided to be nude as much a I can. My wife is not a nudest and I have a step-daughter in the house also, which I cannot be nude around, but our college age son that lives at home is ok with nudity. He and I have had discusions about nudity. He is ok with it but the wife is not comfortable with me being nude when the step-daughter is around. | |
