I Found Joy & Intimacy Through Naturism.

Intimacy vs Lust Right of the bat let me say that nothing is better than intimate sex with some who you truly love However, that is not the discussion I wish to have. What I want to discuss is how I have found intimacy over lust through naturism and Christianity, yes I am a Christian Naturist. First let me say I have always loved being naked, but I did not discover naturism until I was in my early 50sthrough non-sexual social nudity. Before naturism, I looked at porn and wanted sex all the time, but that pressure was released when I discovered you could be naked without sex. That you can find beauty in the naked body without getting horny. I found intimacy was what I was missing. Now I value intimacy over just getting off. It was as if God lifted the burden of evil off my shoulders. Now my wife and I sleep together every night naked (which she would not do 10yrs ago) embracing each most of the night. Now when I look at a photo of a naked woman I do not get aroused, now when I see a picture of a naked man I do get uncomfortable, I see the beauty in Gods creation equally in both, the beauty in all people, the way God created them. At HCN (Our local nudist club) events there are a few of us who are big-time huggers and what I have loved is through the years our hugs have gotten longer and longer regardless of gender... I am talking about minutes sometime, no one wants to let go, and after the hug is over sheer joy on everyones face true happiness. Now what I am saying next is not condemning those who like and enjoy pornography, myself I always felt guilty and bad (Even though I was addicted and it controlled me). Maybe because I was raised catholic and with guilt and respect of others was strongly preached or that degrading a woman for my own pleasure just seemed wrong. I have found intimacy through social nudism & naturism and that has truly set me free and has given me so much joy. That naturism has made me so happy, has open my heart, and has filled my soul with joy. Where lust only brought stress, pressure, guilt and frustration. I 100% all in to naturism it is just awesome!
