Who here have partners who arent/wernt into nudism? Im in this situation and my girlfriends is reluctant. We went to a nudist beach together but she remained clothed while I was nude. She was uncomfortable and I think she feels nudists are creeps. Any advice to help her understand and maybe participate? I dont want to push her into it.

    Yes, I was nude already, it's my home and I let him know that on rare occasions i would be clothed in the house. Typically only when someone new was coming over and was not aware of my comfort level with being nude.
    All subsequent visits nudity prevailed for she and I. He just didn't feel comfortable be nude, but enjoyed our nudity based upon the bulge in his shorts

    [quote]I had pretty much the same experience with a straight buddy roommate many years ago. This guy asked to share an apartment, a win for both of us to save money, and he knew I am a nudist, as he would pop over at my place and saw me nude. Once we moved in together, it was me nude and him clothed. Once in a while he would walk around in his underwear and rare without a shirt as he was very self conscious of how hairy his body is. He started to date this woman, it didn't last long when she saw how very hairy he is without clothes and broke it off. I told him I have clippers and razors and could trim and shave him in the shower. His face looked terrified , and I asked what the problem was? He said, he wasn't comfortable having another man see his junk. I remember saying, we all have cocks and balls, its just a body. Maybe two weeks later he said please help me. We both stripped, and I took clippers from his knees up to his neck front and back. His pubes were so big and dense, I could only see the head of his dick. As I started to clipper his pubes, he was rock hard, and kept saying "I can't believe this is happening". I told him, it's natural it doesn't mean anything to have an erection. After all was done, rinsed off, I saw a happy guy. Took a few days, but after that, he would walk around nude.[/quote] I would have thought that he would have been more self conscious without the hair to obscure parts of his body.

    Someone on another board mentioned that when his male partner was ready to move in with him, they made an agreement that neither of them would wear anything at home unless they had company that was not accepting of nudity, They had a vacation home that was a small cottage deep in the woods and when they went there, they had just one set of clothing each with them and locked it in the car for the week.

    Someone on another board told me they once convinced this gullible old man that astronauts only take one sock into space and to save more weight that the all shaved each others body hair off.

    I completely understand what you're going through. Not everyone embraces the nudist lifestyle right away especially if theyve grown up associating nudity with shame, fear, or judgment. Your girlfriends discomfort doesnt mean shes close-minded; it may simply mean she needs time, safety, and reassurance.

    What matters most is that she feels respected and never pressured. Keep sharing your experience not to convince her, but to show her the emotional, mental, and even spiritual benefits you get from it. Let her see that for you, nudism isnt about voyeurism or rebellion its about honesty, peace, and acceptance.

    The sage advice in this thread resonates deeply with me. No onenot even the most confident among uswants to be coerced into nudity during their inaugural experience, much less pressure a reluctant partner. Forcing any situation typically yields disastrous results. What's essential is creating an atmosphere of security, in which anxiety melts away naturally. While not a partner guiding me in my first experiences, I found myself in the company of several veteran naturists who helped me overcome my anxieties about my physical appearance and vulnerability. Their comfort in their own skin proved contagiouswatching them enjoy the freedom of nudity with such natural ease gradually transformed my apprehension into curiosity, then genuine desire to experience that same liberation firsthand.

    Throughout the years, I've extended the same opportunity to some of my "textile friends" from that period. Occasionally, witnessing something firsthand is persuasive. I initially requested their permission to be nude in my own home while they were present, which swiftly established a comfortable space for them to explore and gradually let go of their own inhibitions. From my experience, curiosity (as well as fears for first timers) about social nudity is far more common than most would admitwhat's rare is finding spaces where that curiosity can safely unfold. The phenomenon reminds me of how we catch each other's laughter; once someone nearby embraces comfortable nudity, others often find their reservations dissolving. Witnessing everyday activitiescooking breakfast, reading a book, having coffeeperformed without clothing gradually transforms the extraordinary into the mundane, until the absence of fabric against skin becomes not just normal but preferable.

    I find immense joy in experiencing social nudity with friends or anyone else. I believe it would be even more fulfilling to share and appreciate it with a partner. I hope you're able to engage in an open and constructive conversation about it, but indeed forcing it is likely to make it difficult.

    Its great that youre being mindful about not pushing her, thats the most important part. For a lot of people, comfort with nudism takes time (if it ever happens), and its often tied to personal boundaries, body image, and cultural upbringing. If she felt uncomfortable, it doesnt necessarily mean she thinks you are creepy, it could just be her reaction to being in a new, vulnerable environment.

    Maybe focus on sharing why nudism matters to you, the freedom, the body acceptance, the non-sexual nature, without making it a convince her mission. She might never want to be nude in public, but she can still respect your choice, just like you respect hers. If she sees its not about pressuring her but about who you are, she might eventually relax more in those spaces or at least feel comfortable being there clothed while youre nude.

    I've been a nudist the last ten or so years, starting off at home when the kids went to college. I ventured to Haulover beach one day and absolutely loved it. I told my wife about the experience and initially she was shocked that I would go. At the time we had a private pool and patio area and the only time she would go clothes free would be at home. She went with me several times to the nudist beach but would never go naked. I was glad that she would come along and never once did I try to persuade her to try it.

    Skip thru ten years and last week she said she would like to try it and we went to Haulover on a Wednesday. The beach was not very crowded and the section we were in was occupied by mostly couples and a few single men and women. A good mix and fairly spread out. As soon as we setup our umbrella she stripped like she had been doing it always, no hesitation at all. We stood there and sprayed lotion on each other like we were natural born naturists. Later we went in the water and she loved and embraced the freedom of it and had a great time. I was so pleasantly surprised and astounded.

    Prior to this she was always concerned that someone from work or whom she knew would see her. I said they would be just as surprised as her if they did meet at the beach and it would be a non event. I had previously given up any hope that she would join me and this experience proves that dreams do come true LOL. In addition to being nude at the beach I drove home nude while she Donald Ducked. She did not have any qualms about me driving naked.

    Best day ever! She said she loved it too and will go again. I asked if she would go to a resort as well and she said she would see. Baby steps!

    What a great story all the way around AND it's always so cool and wonderful to see someone have a GREAT experience in which they totally let go and enjoy the freedom! It's that "feeling" I always wish I could some how "bottle up" and give to people so they can see why I love going naked so much! Such a joy when people discover it.

    Fortunately I don't have this problem. My lover is also an avid nudist like me. In fact we met at a private nudist party hosted by a mutual nudist friend many years ago. We've been enjoying the nudist lifestyle ever since.
