Hey everyone, my name is Lane and I'm doing a project for my sociology class and would like to know why you decided to become a nudist? I appreciate your time and answers, thank you!

    I was born naked, so I decided to live naked :)

    Another request to do a term paper by a non-nudist with a blank profile. Generally this site is by nudists for the promotion of nudism. How will your request benefit the cause, acceptance and promotion of nudism?

    Does anyone decide to become a nudist?  I don't think its an overnight decision but more of an evolving process.

    My skin is waterproof, I prefer not to wear clothes when swimming.

    The naked-hippie thing went out of fashion, and I wasn't willing to put my clothes back on.

    My answer to that is to experience it.  Take a trip to a nude beach or a nude resort.  Maybe just undress in your home for a few hours and do your daily routine.  Shed your clothes and feel the sun,  the rain or the breeze on your bare skin.  Mingle at the resort or beach with other nudists and feel the comfort that it all brings.  If you do all this,  you would more likely write the best term paper based on your  experience and not others.  You may find you will be hooked so use caution.

    Someday, I'd love to see someone come onto this site for academic reasons, and treat nudists the way other subject communities are treated:
    1. Identify your institution
    2. Let us see your face (you do NOT need to post a nude photo.)

    To do otherwise is to signal that you, personally, are uncomfortable here, and it puts people off.

    I just experience being naked as very comfortable (much more then wearing clothing), and it gives me a great free feeling. So I'd like to be naked as much as possible.

    I discovered it through the internet and it interested me, so I gave it a try and I loved it!

    When I was 12 or 13, I had the random thought : "What would it be like to sleep without wearing any pajamas?"  I'm 20 and slept naked ever since.

    When I was 15, it was a hot summer night and I was about to go for my daily swim before bed.  I had another random thought: "It's so dark out and I'm probably the only person awake in this neighrborhood.  Why should I bother putting on a swimsuit?".  Now, summer night skinnydipping is one of my favorite leisures when I'm at home.
    Those were the two experiences that primarily pushed me into nudism.  As a rule of thumb, I'm naked whenever possible and comfortable.  I love the increased feelings and sensation of different stimuli on my naked body.  Nothing sexual, simple things like a breeze from an open window or the comfy fabric of my bedsheets.  Even if it's somewhat cold, I like the feeling of an occasional chill going through my body (Yes, I'm weird. Sue me).
    Sleep feels more restful when naked.  Extra blankets feels more warm when naked.  I feel much more relaxed and comfortable during lesiure activities like reading, listening to music (very risky), or playing video games.  It's simply much more comfortable and very liberating! You could say that I am a natural-born nudist.  As a yogi, nudity also improves yoga and mediation (for me at least0.
    With all that being said, I'm still very much a closet nudist (never visited a nudist beach/resort or engaged in social nudism).  My parents have a suscipions (and I"m pretty sure they're cool with it so long as a don't parade around the house or backyard while they're home), but I have not told anyone that I am a nudist.  It also doesn't help that I am a college student without money or a car.  Otherwise, I would take every opportunity to make nudist getaways.

    I didn't ... it was not a decision ... it just happened ... I am a Natural Born Nudist ...
    And I think I am lacking the gene or hormone or whatever it is that causes the feeling of guilt/shame when naked ...

    As a "Virgo" it's just logical when I'm in my own home to not have to get dressed. There's no one else around who might be uncomfortable seeing my naked body and I can be comfortable and do a little less laundry.

    Also, in nudist establishments I find that being naked with others who're also naked it breaks down a lot of barriers for a more friendly environment.

    About 10 years ago when I came across a CO Beach. Wreck in Vancouver BC.  I looked around and thought hmm,  5000 Vancouverites can't be Wrong.  Tried it, Liked It !  Many trips since then. Wreck, 3mile in Penticton, Sol Sante Vancouver Island, Cayo Largo Cuba, Cayo Santa Maria Cuba.  And a Bazillion trips to a Local Resort I joined 5 years ago !
    I find people to be extremely friendly and members of the opposite sex easier to talk to than in a Textile Situation.
    My favourite part is the Warm Sun, and being in the water NUDE.

    [quote]YOU'RE WASTING TIME ANSWERING THIS QUESTION.Since the OP posted this question over four months ago, he hasn't even bothered to sign back into the site. And, he has a completely blank profile.   ( Jeez, when will people ever learn ? )[/quote]Just because the OP hasn't been back to check on this thread doesn't mean the rest of us can't post up something on here, and see what others has to say abut it. Quit being so cynical about things and lighten up some. Seems like your always looking for negative aspects of threads and posts.

    Excellent point, Riverman. There are many good and positive human-interest aspects to be shared. Such stories are even more appreciated in these days and times.

    [quote]Well, not everybody on here checks every single profile of people who post to see that.  Some just see a discussion going on and jump in and add their two cents.  Nothing wrong with that.  Even if the OP doesn't seem to be around, doesn't mean we can't still converse. [/quote] Most of the time spent on this site is a waste of time. However if a post interests me I usually post a response, who originated the topic is often irrevalent thus rarely do I read a persons profile when I read the posts on a thread. I totally agree with the above post. Tropics are posted to be read or debated who cares by whom or what reason, I became a nudist because I don't like wearing clothes, and I enjoy the wind, the sun, the water and my body freely exposing itself to all of natural feelings.
