How I got started in nudism

People in the chatroom are always asking me how I got started in nudism. I usually just kind of blow it off because I dont like to spell it all out over and over again. So I thought I would just write it out here for everyone to see. So here goes... A bunch of my friends and I were hanging out at another friends place one night like we do a lot. Someone had this book called The Book of Questions and was reading them out to all of us. A lot of the questions were about hard or impossible situations to deal with, like, if your house was on fire and you could only save your mom or your dad, which one would you choose? And why? Stuff like that. I think the whole point of this book is to be like an ice-breaker in a group of people who dont know each other, just to get them talking. Well, my friends and I dont ever need anything like that to get us talking and having fun. So everyone was just giving smart-ass answers to all the questions and cracking us all up. Well pretty soon, one of the questions that came up was, if you accidentally stumbled onto a nude beach, would you stay? Of course that brought out lots of jokes and funny comments. And then the follow-up question was, would you go nude yourself? I said, Heck yeah! Well then the focus of all the joking and teasing turned to me! Guys telling me to strip off right here right now and stuff like that. One guy even said he would build a sand beach at his pond if I would get naked there! So the teasing about that went on for what seemed like weeks and before it was over (actually its never completely stopped) it seemed like everyone I knew had heard about what I had said. And it wasnt just the guys. Even my girlfriends either didnt believe I would do it or they thought I was crazy (actually they already thought that!). Whenever people tease me like that or doubt me about something, it just makes me all the more determined to push back and show them. So I started finding out more about nudism. But searches on the internet were mixed. A lot of them led to porn sites (yuck!) so I was beginning to wonder if this was such a good idea or not, but then I found a few sites that were actually helpful, including this one. I finally worked up the courage to sign up for an account here and found even more info. And the great thing was that other members started reaching out to me. They were so friendly and enthusiastic about nudism and they answered all my questions and encouraged me to try it. So I started trying things, like staying nude around my apartment after a shower. And sleeping nude. I didnt really care for that at first, but then it started to grow on me during the summer. And then one of my friends who had heard me say that I would go nude on a nude beach actually talked to me about how he would like to try that too. So we went nude together out in a secluded place in the country. Since then Ive had a few more friends come to me asking about going nude and weve done that. I really enjoy it. I wish more of my friends would go nude with me. So anyway, thats how I got started.
