While I've always been comfortable more so naked then clothed and am not ashamed to see others naked--I'm terrified to be nude in front of others. It's not that I'm insecure about my body as a whole, because I'm very active and love my body shape, but I have odd nipples. Like, they're split in half... and I'm extremely insecure about that. So, yeah. I've been reluctant to become apart of a local naturist community because of it. And I'm wondering how I should overcome my insecurity...
BTW, I'm a woman.

Cheri Donna DawsonJun 20, 2010Go, relax, no one is going to notice. Nudists accept themselves and others for who you are (inside), how you act, and what you say rather than what you look like, own, or wear.
You will find people of all shapes and sizes with body parts of all shapes and sizes.You might also want to complete your profile.

catbirdJun 20, 2010At a nudist venue, nobody cares what you look like, or how you are shaped. Just enjoy the exhilarating feel of the air and sun on your bare skin. BTW, welcome to the TN web site.

JackNeilsonJun 20, 2010Welcome and don't worry about your nipples. Chances are that no-one will notice and even if they do it won't make a bit of difference in how they accept you. The best way to overcome your insecurity is to just do it (remove clothes) and I will bet that within a very short time your self esteem and confidence will soar. Most nudists will be looking you in the eye rather than focusing on your nipples, which would be considered rude in any case and you will find that they are the most accepting people in the world. I know that it is easier to say these things than it is for you to do it but you owe it to yourself and your own comfort and you will be surprised at how your worries will melt away and you will wonder why it ever bothered you.

gabareJun 20, 2010best thing to do when you get to a nudist venue is to leave your clothes into the car , when you get to the gathering area ;; the pool you will blend in , but if you wear in your clothes and strip nude you will be noticed. most important just go have fun nudist come in all shapes and sizes and irregegularities.

ThomasJun 20, 2010I would also like to add my welcome. There is some very good comments already, I just wanted to add that they are true. Nudists are friendly non judgemental people, and like it was mentioned, most probably wouldn't even notice since they would be talking to you not your nipples.

Gerry-4Jun 21, 2010Our media tends to present an idealised version of how we're supposed to look. Imperfections, oddities or just plain "not-fit-to-print" aspects are ignored. We then think we're the only ones with "problem areas." Seeing other people naked allows us to see just how common our own "oddities" are.

JoesPlaytimeJun 21, 2010hey the simple fact that they are "different" makes you special.......anyway body shape or look has nothing to do with being a nudist for starters and also being beautiful comes from the inside more so then out....its your personality that makes you attractive so enjoy and don't care about your nipples...they are just fine!!!
Good luckReactReply - HU

renamed_usr_780142407Jul 11, 2010My dear, this is a silly thing to be concerned about, if there are true to the soul nudists out there and I know their are because I'm one of them... There is nothing that a true nudist would ever care about someones body or the looks of it.. I have visited resorts, clubs, beachs all around the United States and have not yet come across anyone that would care about what your body looks like, and if they do they don't belong in a nudist resort in the first place... it's not a fashion show. some may think so, but it is not.
A true nudist like myself look at whats in your heart and mind ; because that is what makes up a person, not the way the body looks.ReactReply - CD
Cheri Donna DawsonJul 12, 2010[quote][quote]What you could do is book a holiday at a resort with a 'clothing optional' section of beach and 'Take it from there'[/quote] That's pretty much what I'm going to be doing later this year. In my case it's because I doubt that any nudist hotel/resort would accept an 'unknown' single male.

Enjoy the rest of the summer.ReactReply
