Tell your story

I'm glad I'm at a point in my life where I'm comfortable being naked on the internet. TrueNudists has a lot to offer people who aren't at that point, too  - I don't criticize them and am personally glad the site does notrequirenude pictures.  But I'm really glad for the Real Naked group - we have something important in common: we've all built lives that allow us to this open with our bodies.  How have you done it?  Tell your stories. For me:  I'm self-employed now.  I could have been an "out" nudist when I was a software designer, but NOT when I was a high school teacher! (I was once reported to the principal for being seen barefoot in town; standards are justdifferentfor teachers.)  I met my partner at a nude beach, so he's OK with it.  I've always been a little wild-looking, so even people who have never seen me naked know that I'm not a conventional type.  And lots of people have seen me naked - I was once greeted in church by a woman to whom the minister had just introduced me, with a nice loud "I didn't recognize you with your clothes on!"  (She only knew me as an artists' model.)
