Transition to Nudist

  I started sleeping nude as a kid, and mostly dispensed with underwear when I was about 20. But never saw the point in skimpy swimsuits, shorts, etc. Whenever I had occasion, in houseguest situations or camping, to be in and out of bed and bath around other folks, I've always just been naked, and likewise for skinny-dipping and so forth. Becoming a capital-N Nudist was more a matter of extending that practice wider, rather than of exposing more and more skin.

  I feel it is just a transition to feeling more willing and comfortable to be free of clothing and truly relax.
  Even better in the company of others when a pretences are cast aside

  While I never associated with general society much, being farm grown and homeschooled didn't get me out very much. Barefoot with shorts was normal summer wear. I did start cutting my shorts legs shorter and shorter when I was 14-15. And going nude in the woods. But that was about all. I always preferred them short, the long legged shorts just didn't seem very comfortable. Walking in them would make the fabric rub my legs with every step. I preferred gym shorts style with 2" inseam and side seam split halfway up the sides. And the actual nude time grew to working in back fields and timber work in the woods. But then in 2012 I happened onto a mention of nude gardening day, looked that up, which then led to christian naturist ideas and support groups. Which pulled me right into practicing naturism intentionally instead of more causally off and on. Gave me legitimacy for what I enjoyed. And I started working on getting rid of my old fears of being seen nude that I came to realize were not good. Seeing success on that now. Now that I'm past the half century, and settled on what i intend to do the rest of my life, I plan on doing nutrient dense naturist gardening on a level that will get me into a certain amount of association with people, I'm not sure where the high brix will go and what attention I will get with it, (with the possible expose of my naturist gardening methods) wait and see on that. But as I eat it exclusively I plan to get into endurance sports to see how far the diet can carry me. Which includes competition swimming, running, bicycling perhaps. And wearing minimum coverage swim wear for minimum motion restriction, and because it was standard wear when I was young. (logical excuse anyway) And because I'd rather swim nude but aren't allowed to by society standards. If I beat society norms by a sufficient amount to attract some attention, I could turn that attention to good use for promoting healthy living as a naturist gardener. And promoting the fertility side as well which is part of it. Otherwise I'm not into attracting attention, would rather hang in the background and keep to myself.

  I start being nudist in my early twenties.... just as a little fear seeking. Later with my wife we prefer "empty beaches" and on "empty beaches" a lot of the others sunlovers were nude. As a dare my wife asked me to go naked also (she likes seeing me naked). She was suprised I took of my swimsuit. Since then I was everytime naked on the beach and my wife also naked or at least topless.

  When we had small kids we always went to a nudebeach, because it is not crowdy and easy to check your kids when they are playing. I was always naked, my wife most of the time topless because on the beach nearby were always a lot of clothed people walking. I stayed naked because I donot like tanlines and (secrectly) I love showing myself naked to womens/girls walking by or girls riding horses on the beach.

  At this moment I am still a nudist on nudebeaches. When planning vacation I always seek destinations with nudebeach closeby. So me and my wife can go to that beach because it is not so crowdy there (that what I say to my wife), but the real reason is that I want to go there to be naked.

  Just always felt right. Have not owned any sleepwear for decades. Really cannot understand why any adult male would wear sleepwear.

  [quote]"transition to Nudist?" Sounds like a 12 steps program for the clothing impaired! HOOOT! You take your clothes off and whaaallla, you are nude.[/quote] True, but I would suspect that I am not the only one who wore clothing less often a in a lesser amount when I had to wear something before I reached the stage where I considered myself a nudist.

  it started for me when as a kid, I would watch my dad get naked to sleep. I started sleeping naked when I got to college... well, I had a roommate who did as well, and he would not put clothes on when he woke up, had breakfast, and showered - he said it didn't make sense to put on clothes, to then get undressed to shower, then to get dressed again! Made sense to me. I started doing that too. Then it became hot here in Los Angeles one summer, and after work took all my clothes off. That felt good, so started doing it all the time after work. I would get home, walk my dog, then come back in and disrobe. It felt good. I got a lot of boners too, which was okay... Then I started seeking out social nudism... it was all downhill from there! HAHA :-)

I played naked games as a kid, began swimming nude in college, sleeping nude occasionally at the same time, and sleeping nude almost all of the time about 40 years ago. I now tend to get dressed in the morning only when I have to go out, strip off when I come back in, and take time to remove my clothes even when working on building projects while away from home if the chance is there. Though I have been skinny dipping in mixed company more than just a few times, I just made it to an official clothing optional beach this summer. I've wanted to do the WNBR for the last three years, but each time it has been in the 80's and sunny which is just too hot for me. Perhaps next year. More nude time would be nice, especially outdoors, but not in my neighborhood.

  [quote]I was always interested in being naked growing up and when I was about 10 years old I saw a book which showed how to make an Indian loincloth using a small towel and a belt. Without any clothes on, a belt would be put on around the waist with a towel pull between the belt and the body up to the breast and then dropped to be the front flap. Taking the other end of the towel and placing it between the legs and up over the butt followed by pulling it up between the belt and the body and then allowed to drop to create the back flap. I had a friend and we would going to the nearby stream and put on our Indian loincloth and play in and around the stream. We had a favorite spot where we built a small dam and cleared a small area for laying in the sun. There was a large tree near our dam and we enjoyed climbing it in our loinclothes. This was the closest thing in being naked before going to 7th grade P.E. Class and using the gang showers with other naked boys. Now I enjoy getting naked as much as possible and always looking forward in getting naked. When home like spending my naked time in the back yard and in the spa. I also put n an outdoor shower which I use after getting up from bed in the morning as a way to starting my day naked. If I have to put anything on I will wear short gym short while freeballing and shirtless.[/quote] At home in the summer I also wear gym shorts and nothing else when I can't be nude,

  [quote]Before you became a nudist, did you go through a period of wearing minimal clothing?Examples would be sleeping nude, going shirtless wherever it was possible to do so, wearing shorts whenever it was warm enough, going commando,wearing brief swimsuits etc.I did all of these to some extent. Before I was fully able to be nude in and around my house, I used to do all of those things. I used to Donald Duck in the back yard a lot. I figured if anyone saw me over the fence, they were likely only to see me from the chest up, would see my t-shirt and just naturally assume I was wearing some sort of pants or shorts. Even now, when clothing is required, wear as little clothing as I can get away with: t-shirt and shorts, mostly.[/quote] Do/did you wear just shorts? There are many instances where men have to wear shorts, but no shirt.

  I started my progression into nudism 40 years ago but I had always worn Speedo type swimwear and I didn't totally give up boxer shorts until 20 years ago and first slept naked over 50 years ago.
  In my case the progression w=consisted of finding more and more opportunity to be naked starting with beaches only and progressing through naked camping and nude swims to nudist holidays, nude spa hotels, home nudity and free-range nudism.
