  I don't get embarrassed as such by being seen naked, either by other naked people or clothed. I do worry about the reaction of other people seeing me naked and any problems that will cause me or my wife.
  So I tend to be very careful when naked in our garden if I know the neighbours are around. Not because I would be embarrassed about being seen but I am pretty certain what their reaction but be. And as we get along in all other aspects I dont want to jeopardise that.
  But that isnt embarrassment. Have chatted to plenty of clothed and naked people on beaches etc. Have had delivery drivers catch me naked in my back garden and just stood up and dealt with the delivery with no embarrassment.

  No, never.

  Can you explain what certain people means to you?

When I was introduced to nudism in Germany, it was in the company of a couple of friends who took me to an event where I was the only American there. I didn't know anybody else. All of my other experience has been with friends, except for some nude beaches and such where I was far from my home "stomping grounds" and didn't know anybody. I haven't met anybody here in the area, so that experience may still be in store for me. I doubt if it would faze me, though.

  [quote]Yeah, I was a little embarrassed at first. I had a guitar and spent a lot of time playing it (badly) partly to cover up my groin area and partly because it was the only thing I could do. But after an hour or so, I put the guitar down and took a swim and played some badminton with the people there, and all was cool. As for the second part of the question, if I meet somebody in a nudist envrionment that I knew but that I didn't expect to see there, I wouldn't care a bit. I'm naked, they're naked. I think a lot of people sort of suspect me as a closet nudist, anyway, because I'm wearing less than they are. If it's hot and humid, I see no sense in wearing anything more than a pair of shorts and sandals, or whatever I can get away with, in textile environments.[/quote] Same here. I keep wearing shirts to an absolute minimum in warm winter. Surprising how many men on this board wear shirts whenever they aren't nude. Concerning people suspecting, mose than once one of my acquaintances have seen me shirtless and commented along the lines that they think I would go nude if I could.

  I don't know if it was embarrassment or awkwardness. I met a couple for the first time at a clothed party. The next day I was at a nude beach and saw the couple walking by the water's edge. I was tempted to pretend I didn't see them but then our eyes caught each other and I had to acknowledge them. It was awkward for for to casually discuss weather etc while completely naked.

  I rember being at Apollo beach. It was my second time. My first was only a stop by type thing with my wife to see where it was and to briefly experience it for about 30 minutes. So I had to real thought process of it. But the second time I was spending the day and there my self. I moved to a secluded area because I didn't want to be in anyone's space. Oddly as I sat there I had a real uneasy feeling. I asked myself, what was I doing? Was I nuts. I was in my 50s. Too old for this. Shame on me. I decided to take a walk down the beach with this thought still troubling me. I came across a couple that wished me a pleasant good morning. I stopped and chatted. Told them it was kind of my first time. They said great and what do you think of the experience? I admitted to them what my thoughts were. They were lifelong nudists they explained and said that a good majority I would find were in their upper ages. Especially at resorts. They reassured me I was very normal in thinking as I was but would adjust. I found out they were 80 and 81 years old. They told me of their friends at beaches and resorts and other places they'd been nude at. They were quite comfortable with their way of life and very comforting to me and helped understand.

  I wasn't embarrassed in the least. A little anxious the first time at Apollo but got over that pretty quickly. And my first time at a nudist resort (after I had been to Apollo a few times) I couldn't wait to get my clothes off. Normally at Cypress Cove they want to walk you through the place your first time but I went on the Day of the National Skinny Dip Day which is also the day they let everyone in , single or not. I think I walked into the office already nude so that was that.

  Nervous when I first went to Gunnison but got over it quickly. Also a little uncomfortable the first time I got lunch at the beach stand, but not after.
  I had been going to Gunnison for years before I went to a resort. I know from this board that some resorts expect people to be dressed for check-in so I was hesitant. I saw another person strip in the parking lot and head to the office, I did the same. Stayed nude until I left.

  I was embarrassed receiving my first full body massage and my first body wrap. They were the first times I had been nude in front of a women that I wasnt romantically involved with.

  I was nervous and anxious the first time I experienced coed social nudity. I/we had been wanting to try social nudity for 30 years before we finally did. Disrobing in front of others was exhilarating and freeing, no shame or embarrassment

  I am still self conscious about certain things and whenever I hear whispering, I believe they are talking about me but then I tell myself that I am sure they have better things to talk about than me and my hang ups.

  For me no issues, I grew up swimming at the YMCA when it was mandatory nude and now in the YMCA men's locker room. Then skinny dipping with the guys when we moved out of the city. Group showers in school. Then lately being naked in men's wet area at Korean spas. For the wife she was use to being naked for massages or when we were alone on the boat in Lake Michigan. However when she 1st went to a Korean spa and saw all those naked woman she was nervous and embarrassed at her 3 kid mom body. But she said that after about 5 minutes and saw woman of all shapes, sizes and the fact that nobody stared or cared she feel in love with it. When we went to our 1st nudist resort the freedom just enhanced her enjoyment. Before Covid we had multiple trips planned to nudist resorts, oh well maybe next year. At one resort, last year, we meet another couple that were 1st timers. He was nervous about the size of his package and his was just a little bigger than mine. I told him that you have to enjoy the freedom of nudity for what it is, not for what you have. There will be guys with bigger and smaller, but who cares. True nudist will notice your body but will not fixate on it. If someone does not want to befriend you based on your package then you really do not want to be their friend. We spent the next 4 hours with him and his wife enjoying life the way it should be. I also explained that if I am staring at a naked body it is normally because I am having a difficult time understanding what the tattoo is saying.

  When I was a kid around 6, I had a group of friend all within 3 years in age. It started out as peeing our names in the snow to pee sword fights, there you only saw a little of each other. The next summer we were at our friends house, he had a pool, he asked if we wanted to go swimming? He and one other kid were the only 2 who had a swimsuit, he said well if you wanna we can all swim naked (not knowing it was called skinny dipping yet lol), he pulled his suit off and said who else wants to join? One other buddy dropped his, I didnt wanna be last, so I dropped mine and then everyone was nude. We swam a lot nude from that point, the other friends dad had a camp and wed go on weekends, run in the woods naked and skinny dipped in the lake. Over the years, it was just normal to see each other nude, see how each of our bodies were changing and learning together how to handle things, up until I moved when I was 14.
  Now.. Not really Embarrassed?, but a little nervous, Anxious, yes. Im in a new state, new school and starting the 9th grade. I know like 2 people, in gym class having to get naked and showering with other boys, not the ones I grew up with. It was something I had to do and accept it, after a while it was not a big deal. In our new house we had a pool, when no one was home, I slipped back into my old ways of swimming naked and sun drying. I was nude at home as much as possible. Moved to my own house at 19 with my girlfriend and thats when I/we started staying naked all the time in the house and started to nude sunbathe in the backyard. One day I was out bullshitting with the neighbors and the guy who lived 4 houses down says, I noticed you guys like to nude sunbath? With a big grin and the other 2 said well, now that he mentioned it, we were going to say something too Well our wives wanted us to say something, because we REALLY dont mind when you GF is out there with you. I was a little red faced and said What are you talking about???? The all looked at each other and about the same time said, well you do realize we all live in 2 story houses right LOL. Well the cats out of the bag so yep lol I went up to my back bedroom and looked and I could see 6 houses down and low and behold the lady who lived in the last house was out there too LOL Ever since then I tell my neighbors, if you look over the fence there is a 97% chance youre gonna see me naked. At this point Im really interested the nudist lifestyle, It was not about being embarrassed but more about just doing it in a public setting. I was comfortable with being naked in the house and backyard, so the next step was with others. The first time was at a clothing optional beach, I was wearing a t-shirt, shorts and shoes, so when I arrived it was easy to get naked. I saw others that naked, said to myself well its now or never and I quickly got naked. I checked out the area, walked along the water line and had a great time being naked, no one paid any attention to me while totally naked. The total freedom and vulnerability was exhilarating and liberating. I was hooked! To this day, I dont hesitate in getting naked when I am in an environment where nudity is acceptable and/ or around other nudist gatherings.

  That's too funny Lee and not uncommon. At least one guy has told me that he uncontrollably ejaculated during the massage. I would be mortified just like he was. A boner is not uncommon so given it was your 1st, you did well.

  I experienced an orgasm on a massage table before and it was quite embarrassing. This was a legitimate masseur too. I was on my stomach at the time, and his hands were inbetween my thighs at the time and on and around my buttocks. I tried to control it as hard as I could, but it happened anyway. I tried to remain calm during as to not alert him to what just happened. Unfortunately, he asked me to turn over, to which what I done had become realized by him, but he choose to ignore it and continued with the massage. I think he may have taken it as a compliment that he had relaxed me to the point of orgasm.

  Is that true Rapael?
  
  I dont know any masseurs to ask, but Id have thought that was not something they would encounter at all or even want too.
  
  As far as Im aware there are special kinds of masseurs that charge for that king of ending.
  Getting one on the fly seems rather forward.

  Ive done massages for years and yes some men do go to have that so call 'happy ending'. But for the most part, when one of the guys I'm massaging get's fluffed or erection, I just ignore it and go on with massage. Allowing a guy to be himself, erection or not, is more relaxing than telling him, hey calm down, that adds to the situation that doesn't help. I usually look at their face to see how they are with what they are feeling. If they say something like 'sorry' or 'it's the first time' or anything to excuse their erection, I tell them to let their body be and in almost all cases the erection goes away. Besides I do most massages nude as well as the guy getting it, been a nudist there is no other way.

  Yes and yes. I spent my whole life avoiding being seen naked because Im smaller than most and society wants us to believe its a representation of how manly we are. I decided I will no longer hide and yes its nerve wracking for me but oh my goodness the freedom is amazing! It is indeed still embarrassing but Im sure thatll go away with time.
