I have been a nudist since I was a child but I started practicing nudism a little while ago at home. I'm still very shy and still don't have the courage to go to social nudist environments. What I want most is to go to a nudist beach, go to a nudist resort and post pictures of me here on the website and get my certificate. I would like to know from you how you overcame shyness and started living nudism completely.

Bill BowserAug 26, 2020The only obstacle you face exists only in your mind. Your imagination is whats standing in your way. It truly is as simple as just doing it. Youll discover it is much easier than you think, and then youll wish you had done it much sooner. I was once in your position. I know exactly what youre going through. Just do it, and never look back.

It's what I did and as I watched others on the beach, I noticed that none of them were watching me.

GSNPhilAug 26, 2020Many years ago, I found myself in shorts, walking the water's edge down a very crowded nude beach. And I noticed heads turning and naked people staring as I walked past. I had never felt more out of place in my life. So I threw the shorts over my shoulder and kept walking. No more turned heads and no more stares. I became just another nude guy walking down the beach. It was as simple as that.

ProfindAug 26, 2020Bill is right it is in your head. For me, I simply rationalized in my head Im naked in the gym locker room with very little thought. So joining the other naked people on the beach was just dropping my swim suit. When I took a naked hike with a TN friend, though my heart was beating incredibly so, when we got into the woods and he dropped his shorts I peeled mine off too. Once yourenaked your whole view of the matter changes. Nudist are accepting.

That is almost the exact scenario I experienced. Many years ago, I stumbled along a nude section of beach while I was walking along the shoreline. I quickly realized I was the only one wearing a bathing suit At first, I was hesitant, scared, nervous, etc until I thought to myself "When in Rome..." I then removed my suit and suddenly felt like I belonged there. I've been hooked ever since.

Stone AndyAug 26, 2020Here's a trick I've learned when I feel shy, awkward or scared of pain: I focus on something else. Instead of being under the belt shy, I imagine being elbow shy. What if everyone is staring at my elbows? Then I think of elbow liberation and how happy they are to see the sun and that no one really cares. I casually change roles with my penis that way, slip off my shorts and think they're just like my elbows.
This trick works for me at the dentist as I imagine them drilling into my big toe. If your mind plays games with you, play games with your mind.ReactReply - PH
PhilipAug 26, 2020Sergio, it's easiest to get over your shyness by going to a nudist resort or nude beach. That way you will be surrounded by other nude people who aren't really looking at your nudity since everyone is the same way. What would be harder is going to a c/o place where some people would still be clothed and they would be specifically looking to see nude people.

SteveAug 26, 2020Consider going to a beach in ordinary clothes rather than swimwear, so that it's plainly the thing to do to undress in order to go into the water. So, undress and and get into the water immediately. You'll see other people around you and have time to get used to the idea of being naked among them, while at the same time knowing that they don't really see your naked body. When you feel ready, step out of the water back onto land - of course you must do this, sooner or later - and there, it's done.

It is easy for someone who has always been comfortable being nude to join social nudism. For others it will need a series of incremental steps. For starters, you can not have a private profile and then fill in information as you become comfortable with it.

ChrisAug 26, 2020When I first became interested in social nudism I joined a local group. Because I didnt know any members I had to be vetted by the president. I went to his home and he greeted me at the door naked. I wasnt at all attracted to him and I felt awkward being clothed and stripped. Soon I had an erection. He just remarked that it was a common reaction to first social nude experience and soon it went down of its own accord. After that I realized nudism is liberating and Im actually much more sociable naked than clothed.

JasonAug 31, 2020I felt the same way the first time to a nude beach. Then I realized no one cared what I looked like. I dropped the shorts and all was good. Surprisingly easy.

Louis1Sep 3, 2020The wife and I were in the same boat. We finally decided to go to the nude beach near us. We almost turned around several times before we got there but pushed thru. Once there we walked onto the beach and both agreed that it was surreal. We set up and I looked at her and said "It's like a bandaid. You just have to rip it off." I stripped and she did also. We quickly sat down. lol After about 20 minutes we were walking along the waters edge and feeling great. We haven't looked back. We both love it and usually are the first ones naked at any social setting.

KcHSep 6, 2020Been there! Like many have posted it got to a point where I just decided to give it a go. I got to the beach, stripped down, and sat in the sand worried about any and everything. When you realize no one at the beach is there to judge or gawk, you become more comfortable and you dont think about it. Like many guys, you may worry about an erection. 1. roll over lay in the sand 2. you probably wont even think about it 3. everyone sports one from time to time as long as you dont wave it about no one cares. It will seem uncomfortable at first, but after 5 minutes, youll never want to go to any other beach.
