Hello everyone,
I am a nudist while my parner is not.
Wanted to ask if there are any people here in the same situation and how do you handle it.
Many thanks in advance

For most people their first experience of nudism, is on a clothing optional beach, usually discovering it by chance rather than searching for it.You could try asking her to go to a clothing optional beach with you so you can swim and sunbathe nude with absolutely no pressure on her to undress. Once she sees how others find it so natural and how its far more logical to swim and sunbathe nude, she might be tempted.

I used to think there is something that can be done to gain the participation of a non nudist partner. Sadly nowadays I think unless they're under 30years old there is little that can be done.
Whatever psychological barrier is holding your partner back is simply reinforced by the overwhelming presence of men who go nude (nb are not nudists or naturists) simply to gain some sexual advance.

When I got married,I was already a nudist, new wife was not.although she would walk around the house naked after a shower or bath. we went to a hot spring place that had private rooms and got naked with me. first summer we were married starting going to hot springs around the state, I would go naked she wouldn't and one night she did get naked, nobody else there. went up to this one, it had 2 big pools and a sundeck and benches all around. 2 ladies were floating on air mattresses in the pool, completely naked. I turned to my wife to ask her what she was going to do and Already had taken off her top and was taking off her bottoms. stayed there 3 days, naked the entire time. and as they say the rest is history.

Aug 15, 2026That was the case for me during my first marriage.
What I did was negotiate nudity at home. We agreed that I would only be naked in the late evening after showering and before going to bed; and of course when she wasn't home. And I stuck to that daily routine without fail.
Eventually she grew so used to seeing and interacting with me naked that we renegotiated and agreed to "let me" be naked "full time" at home. And she got used to that too. I remember her coming home from work one day; I happened to not be naked, and she asked me why. She was actually surprised.To me, this "Stage 1" - even if it doesn't lead to full-time nudity at home - is the most important one. And for me, this process took about 2 years in total. It isn't always going to be easy.
Shortly after I got to "full time" home nudity, I brought up nudist resorts. We had fleetingly discussed it before; but now it was going to be a more serious conversation. She didn't want anyone to see her naked. So I set my sights on a clothing-optional resort; and very strategically selected an "off-season" day during the week; in order to minimize the amount of people we'd encounter. So I presented her with the "deal." We'd go, she would wear any covering of her choice, we'd only stay for a short while; and we'd steer clear of any nudists there. Her counter was that we'd leave - without question - if she felt uncomfortable at any point; and asking her to remove anything was "off the table." We agreed and set a date.
Again, this was several discussions over several months. She'd initially said no several times prior. And the agreement was reached over a year after the initial conversation.
I won't go over the entire outcome of "Stage 2." We arrived very early, checked in; she changed into a simple sundress and I got naked. There were maybe 4 or 5 people there (it was in May) and we had most of the resort to ourselves. She agreed to remove her sundress to get in the sauna; and then the hot-tub. She then decided to stay nude to play a game of ping-pong with me and hang out naked with me in the clubhouse. When we got ready to leave, she was the one who requested one last stroll around the resort; but this time naked. And when we got ready to pack up, the manager asked us to drop by for a chat; and my wife decided to not get dressed and have that conversation naked.
This is a typical outcome...and I in no way influenced my wife whatsoever.ReactReply - STAug 17, 2026
That is such a good example of not pushing naturism down her throat and when the time and setting was right she joined in-thats just great for you both
