I decided when I was very young I did not like clothes. No one in my family were nudists and I did not tell anyone. I never knew there were such a thing as nudists until I was about twelve when the neighbor boys showed me some nudist magazines. I was glad to know I was not the only one and some day I would get to meet others. That had to wait until I was in my early 20s. I now go naked whenever and wherever I can. I founded and facilitate a quasi-spiritual men's nudist group that meets 8 times a year and is about community, fellowship and making meaning friendships with other members. I get along well with men who are open-minded, liberal and like to think outside the box.

Other men who share similar interests. Ultimately I would like to meet other men in my area who like to get together and be nude. Sharing the same interests is important but not so important as the connection and bond between two people. I like to know people who have a healthy curiosity about life and both a wide variety of interests and a zest for life. I like things pure and natural, therefore I relate best to guys that do not pierce, tattoo or shave their bodies though I am open to anyone who is kind, sincere, honest, frank, trustworthy and loving. It is more important to me who you are in the inside than what you look like on the outside. "Better an ugly body than an ugly mind."

Languages, gardening, cooking, baking, photography, painting, writing, reading, movies, science fiction/fantasy, science & technology, computers, mind puzzles, carpentry, hippopotamuses, nature, genealogy, health/fitness/nutrition, philosophy, ethics, spirituality.

I love music and enjoy a wide variety of genres. I am especially fond of classical (Bach, Mozart, Beethovan, Schubert, Chopin, etc.) and also enjoy new age, international, rock and roll, opera, parody or anything that elevates my mood, senses, emotions, awareness.
