“I know as a group have never been to a clothing optional area,” I said. “I know you are curious about it, so I want to give you a lesson in social nudity. I want to describe to you what societal nudity is about.
As I stood there all eyes were now on me and I mentioned, “First of all it is a non-sexual encounter, and the very first thing you need to be aware of is the fact that folks may looks at first. It’s human nature.”
I turned around to be sure that everybody could see, and I said, “Now that you have all “checked me out”, I ask you to do this to make a point. It shows you that I know you are looking and that I’m not ashamed or embarrassed and it lets you know that you’re natural tendency to look at it is not incorrect, not awful and it is not unacceptable to me.”
I then entered the water, and introduced myself to each one of the people. The tension eased, and everyone relaxed and we talked for several hours about all topics from societal nudity to physics to great films, professions, school and families. They were a fantastic group of young folks: university students, a disabled veteran, a Registered Nurse, a multimedia producer, a US National Park Ranger, and I actually don’t recall what the other woman’s occupation was. All were relaxed, no one else got naked, but http://nudist18.com was amazing.
By 6pm we had all been in the pool for at least 4 hours and they needed to leave to get back to their camp in the City of Rocks State Park, 4 miles away. As everyone got ready to leave and collect their things I asked this question, “OK, now everyone, how a number of you even remember that I’m naked?”
I could see the light go on in their eyes as they realized just what it was all about. I know some of them will be back to Faywood Hot Springs and I know they will not be wearing clothes this time.

First time experience 🙂
So I am a 17 year man from Australia, I’ve consistently enjoyed being bare by myself and had dream of visiting the local nude beach with some partners, male and female. Now I finally got the opportunity; we walked down to the beach and continued on to the nudist half of the beach, we subsequently stripped off and went for a swim. It felt so natural to be naked socially.
After our swim we lay on the beach and dried off then went for a walk and enjoyed the view; we’ve now determined as a miscellaneous group of friends it’s going to become a routine practice for our friends. Undoubtedly going to occur more in the long run.

My wife Rose and I are newly weds in our mid 50s. Throughout our lives we skinny-dipped as kids and adolescents, but never had the ability to do so as adults in our previous marriages. Last summer, just before we got married, we began enjoying going in the pool nude. We sat on the patio to dry off after getting out letting our skin bask in the sunlight. What a wonderful feeling.
Not long after this, we began doing yard work, naked, in the back yard where the block fence gave us some privacy. We have a neighbor lady who likes to poke her head over the fence to say hello when she hears us in the back yard (I think that may discontinue after the first time she sees us nude). Now we spend a lot of time naked in the back yard and we should since we’ve done so much work back there.
A couple of months ago we were seeing a program on TV about the RV lifestyle. It captured our attention because we travel around in a 25 foot travel trailer. Among the things in the software was Clothing-Discretionary campgrounds. We though it was tidy and that was the last we thought about it. That’s until a couple weeks ago when my wife brought it up implying it would be enjoyable to find a Clothes-Optional campground and go see what it’s all about.
Over the the next couple of http://xelyd.com spent a lot of time hunting the web for Clothes-Optional campgrounds. There aren’t many in Arizona, in fact there are few nudist organizations in Arizona, period. I found one near Phoenix, Shangri la Ranch, which advertises as a family oriented nudist camp. I did even more research on Shangri la Ranch and found it is a great facility and comes recommended by posters on various bare diversion newsgroups. I called the office at Shangri la Ranch and explained my wife and I’d like to visit for a weekend and it would be our very first time at a nudist resort. They were more than happy to accommodate us, even putting us in an RV space right across from the club house, pools, cafe, and hot tub.
After setting up camp and having lunch, we shed our clothes and headed for the pool. It felt so natural and free, we immediately felt at home. We went to the dance in the club house that evening and had a ball dancing nude for 3 1/2 hours. We did not care we were naked and no one else cared we were naked either. We met several very fine couples who were excited to meet us and celebrated our first time with us.
Grew and I can scarcely wait to go back.
I learned of another nudist resort that’s highly recommended not too far from us that we will be heading to perhaps in November. Terra Cotta Inn in Palm Springs. Tom and Mary Clare appear to be outstanding hosts and also the hostel is just that which we desire.
I expect Rose and I become regulars at Shangri la Ranch and Terra Cotta Inn. We’re keeping our eyes and ears sharp for additional places to see.
We are going to adore nudism, Clothes-Discretionary and no clothing resorts and tasks.
See you around. We merely joined AANR yesterday!

Wow. I did it.
I’d learned of a bare event at a nearby gym. It was sponsored by a neighborhood nudist club which rented the facility for an evening monthly or so. I’d become determined to go to the event having always been intrigued by nudism but never attempting it. I was as nervous as I could get worrying about how I Had “respond” but I was perpetrated. I drove around to the health club that Saturday evening and sat in the vehicle merely eyeing the spot for a great 10 minutes. I was not about to chicken out. I went in, paid my admission fee and headed for the locker room. I quickly figured out that everything was co-ed. There was a couple in the men’s locker room and they were naked. Oh my. How would this go? LOL. I simply stripped as fast as I could. Out the door I went with not a thing on. Wow. Was this great or what? I took a quick dip in the pool and then went to the sauna and hot tub. I was feeling really comfortable nude. This was great. I was hooked on nudism. Everyone was so friendly and open. I got involved in the volleyball game. Here I was playing co ed nude volleyball. I was absolutely hooked. This was amazing. I remained until the event was over appreciating the entire encounter. 15 years after I’m still at it. A nudist for life.

18 Years back I went to a nude beach for the first time and now I can’t seem to go eslewhere
I once heard about a nude beach near where I lived on the news as it made some contraversy. I was already sleeping in the nude for some time, never thought I’d attempt it outside, but then one day I visited the shore out of interest. I didn’t go there to go nude, but after speaking to one regular there I found myself taking my suit away and going skinny dipping!
Wow! What a sense it was swimming in the ocean with no swimsuit! I began coming back up until the shore I went to got raided. I was fortunate I did not get caught, but afterwards the seashore lost its spunk, and single men began to be the standard offsetting the balance of women and men.
I must say that didn’t prevent me from becoming a naturist as I joined a landed club nearby and met loads of friends while at it and the most crucial thing is the fact that it was not sexual being around identical images that Playboy and porn make degrading only in real life.
I even learned later how amazing it’s to be in a motel room while on vacation with no clothing on and even not close the toilet door. I do however, dwell with my mom who does not understand about this, but I still sleep bare at night though! Wow is all I can say as no right words can describe the liberty you’ve without clothes! I’ve been hooked and there is no going back for me!
