We sometimes would swim bare in our pretty private backyard, and nudity in the house was, although not supported, surely not frowned on either.
As an adult there was never much opportunity to revisit those carefree moments of youth.
Finally I was in that area overnight and took the opportunity to visit the shore before starting my work day. I got to the beach sometime around 6 a.m. and the beach was abandoned and cold. I sat in my garments on the sand and watched the sun come up. About 7:30 it got warm enough to take my clothing off and enjoy the sun, the sound of the surf and the wind. By then a number of early risers had come to the beach, but it was still mostly abandoned. I just had an hour or so on the beach before I had to begin my day.
I appreciated the sensation of being bare in nature so much that I went back to the shore after my appointments were finished and loved the remaining part of the day on the much more crowded beach, watching the sun go down before I left. At no time did I feel uncomfortable being naked in the company of other nude people. Maybe getting a little used to it in the morning before the crowds came helped a bit, but I consider that in case you approach nudism from the appropriate standpoint it is not a sexually charged experience and so there is actually nothing to be uncomfortable about. If you have not tried it yet, I’d encourage you to give it a try. Its absolutely amazing.
I’ve since been back to the beach many times and joined a nonlanded club where we’ve been able to relish day trips to landed clubs in the region. It is all great but my favourite place is still the beach with its surf and sand!

Waited Too Long
My whole adult life thus far has been subjected to rules made to stop embarrassment to the “firm.” I have had to play by everyone else’s rules. Well for the very first time I decided to take my first step of “liberty” and took a trip to Haulover Beach. WOW! What a awareness relief! To be there, with all those amazing people who had no care what others thought of them…and there I was with them. How wonderful it was to feel the sun on my entire body. Swimming in the ocean with no confinement of a swimsuit. So enjoyable. I can not wait for my next visit. Regrettably, here in Miami there are not any clothing optional communities, so I’m planning a holiday to one in Central Florida. I can’t wait. I’m so thrilled with my new found life.

First time at nudist camp!
I was told about nude camp. Was interested! Did not go the first year but the next I did go. What a freeing experience! I joined AANR the very next week and this year became an Associate member! I love it so much that I do proudly say I’m a nudist!

Assurance
The possibility of visiting a nudist club fell into my lap unexpectedly. We were only building up the friendship in those days. Then out of a blue I was having tea at her place, when her mother entered. Soon we got acquainted, then her mother mom asked me if I want to join her and Claudia over the weekend at a nude resort. I found myself saying YES.All she advised me was to feel friendly with everyone.
When we reached there, all I can say it was a bare woods, but very well preserved.
Shortly they both got there, clothes away as if http://nudests.net was regular routine. I also had to take off. I was shy a bit, but to my amazement no one troubled to look at me. Claudia’s mother, seeing me hesitating a bit, offered to show me the resort. I was surprised to see nude ladies/ women playing volleyball, other sports and swimming with nude men. Not only this but men taking photographs of their family in nude. This made me feel comfortable.
All I can say is it was a greatest weekend I ever had. I felt healthy, and noticed that I ‘d developed more confidence. We have made many friends there. I propose to any or all individuals around the globe take a rest and give your own life a chance to change.

Finest car ride ever
It was in 1989 and we were driving up Interstate 81 through New York. http://purenudism2017.com was a wonderful day. We were both merely enjoying the ride as well as the attractive landscape that was passing by and I started to get the sensation that I was wearing too much clothes so I kicked off my shoes and got out of my shirt.
We drove along for a little while longer and I began slipping my trousers off. My wife looked at me and asked, “what are you doing?” I told her I was becoming cozy.
It was great! My wife thought I was crazy. I believe she still does but she’s stuck with me for nearly 20 years.
Now I understand that wasn’t a group nudist experience but it absolutely was the very first time I declared myself a man who likes to be naked. I do have to likewise add that that car ride was the very best memory I have of that trip.
