A Newbie at Social Nudism
Being naked outside for the first time was a real experience. I started off with taking my
pet out. I just wore a top that went down to below the crotch. I really enjoyed the cool wind that reached parts of me that
had never felt a cool wind. All I can declare is
“WOW.” It felt so great that I desired more.
So I reversed the buttons all down the front. That let in more coolness, and I just felt the “WOW even stronger. My head just said do it.
So I
took off the shirt and there I was totally
Naked to the cool breeze. The “”WOW”” was even
more extreme. My head merely said yes, yes, yes.
I should quit messing around and simply admit
I am now a nudist. I have consistently enjoyed being
Bare whenever possible. Now I am a nudist with
the strong desire to do it with others of a like mind and approach.
WOW, what a fabulous feeling!

First Awakening
At the office, my supervisor and coworker resided near the top beach on Long Island and requested me to join his family for a beach day, so I agreed. It was a private beach, the town’s only resident beach. Jones Beach is very conservative, so Jim told me to walk far left at the coastline. In minutes I saw people standing by a 10 ft totem pole, they all were naked and had long ponytails, and a sign said “clothes optional.”
We spread a blanket, buddies went naked in a casual way, I sat and wondered what to do. Jim said take off your suit. Not moving, he said take it away and take pleasure in the waves. I did, as well as the gusty waves on my body proved to be a completely new life awareness.
I have never been the same inhibited soul after that. Nature was a blast, there all the time, and also the gift was mine.

First Time For us both
A few years ago, I began to be drawn to social nudity. I adored being naked since I was around 10. I had to slip out of my pj’s when I slept, then creep back into them. Only a textile family.
Well, around the time that I turned 48 I decided I wanted to understand more, and started browsing sites. AANR, etc. From this I discovered Hidden River Resort in north Florida.
I’d get information from the AANR website, and assorted Christian Nudist forums, and then forwards that information to my wife. She was open to trying. So one day we chose to head to Hidden River Resort in north Florida.
We arrived and with plenty of trepidation, got a tour of the facilities. Afterward we paid the fees, and drove onto the property.
Within just several seconds, I was undressed and feeling free. My wife yet went considerably slower. She had http://modestperson.com on and a towel around her top.
We decided to walk the paths first. As we walked she asked how I felt. “Isn’t it bizarre?” I shared how freeing it was. We afterward saw another nude couple, and nothing occurred! We said hello – and discussed a couple of minutes – and it wasn’t weird. It was truly very natural. As we left them, my wife’s towel came off.
Then she looked at me and said “Lets go to the pool.” follow was surprised – she had to be bare.
We went back to the vehicle, and she freely undressed, and we walked to the outside showers. “Nude as jay birds.”
It was amazing – we spent a couple of hours in the pool, hanging out as well as discussing. What a fantastic day trip – wonderful people, as well as the hostess was top notch!
If you arer worried about becoming aroused, or others seeing you – do not be. Once you get your clothes off – we all seem the same!
Thanks AANR for the info you supplied. Thank you Hidden River for the great intro and the ease of which you helped us into our comfort zone. Thank you CNC and the other Christian forums for helping us see that we can still have our religion – and enjoy social nudity.
Now – we’re constantly looking forward to our next visits, and we’re slowly introducing our family and friends to the lifestyle.

Why Did It Take Me So Long?
On a cruise of northern European capitols several years back, we spent a day riding bikes along the Baltic shore near Warnemunde. We stopped to have a look at the ocean and understood we were above a nude beach. First, we saw a young and healthy couple. Afterward we saw people who looked like me, elderly and not too fit.
I decided that I needed to skinny dip for the first time in my adult life. My wife didn’t join me then. At the water’s edge, I removed my clothing and within minutes felt comfortable and free while swimming in the sea.
Ever since then, we’ve joined AANR, visited clubs in the U.S. and Europe and I consistently skinny dip throughout the summer. I have found that if I swim early enough in the early hours, I possess the lake to myself. Now I can not believe that I ‘d to become old in order to feel comfortable in my skin.
