It always felt normal

I've enjoyed nudity, or being naked as I thought of it then; since I can't remember. As an Army brat I traveled but wherever I felt I could buck the trend and go nude I did. Short moments, some would end in my pleasure; but most would just be fear taking over. fear that I'd be seen or caught. Those moments were far and even fewer between. But since my move to Toronto, I've become bolder. It started at Scarborough Bluffs. I was told of a beach just under Toronto Hunt Club; where nudity was tolerated. I'd go whenever i could. Even during work time! towards the end of 2013, I found out about GTA Skinnydippers and this site. Not sure how I learned of them, but learned I did. I made some mistakes that first few times I logged in here. Mistakes I now somewhat regret but that were a learning experience. That first Skinnydippers event was a swim at South Common pool. I was nervous to the point that I sat in my car for an age before drumming up enough courage to go in. The usual reservations were foremost in my mind: arousal, body image, gawking and the simple truth of never having been naked with a group before. I needn't of worried, and soon I was chatting with regulars. i did avoid contact with women though!Soon I was attending every meeting the group had. The summer of 2014 though saw another social nude event; The World Naked Bike Ride. I arrived after the designated start of 11am, and stood slightly apart from the group and remained dressed. i didn't know anyone! However as more people turned up, I undressed and stood closer to the other riders. by 1pm I was confident and eager. Cycling thru my town was wierd, I was still nervous, but I stopped traffic (as safety not due to some other vain reason). The end of the ride came to quick though. What a rush! Fast forward to 2015 and the WNBR is coming up soon. I'm pumped! I'm going to be more outgoing, even arriving before 11am! I'll take more pics, splash at Nathan Philips Square. Eventually go to Hanlans at the end of the ride. My nude life is starting. And I like it
