I have been a naturist since 1971, when I was 22. My main practice has been enjoying naturist beaches on the Atlantic coast or finding quiet spots by the seaside or in the mountains of France. For many years, it was a family activity with my children, until my wife eventually preferred textile beaches over nudist ones. Since then, I have continued alone, though less frequently. We were not nudists at home. Moving to the UK made the naturist practice even more difficult. Over time, various constraints limited my opportunities further. On the other hand, I began to stay nude at home as often as possible, tired of compromises. As an isolated naturist within my couple, with limited time for outdoor activities (I am also a carer for my wife), I joined this site to feel part of a naturist communityto exchange thoughts and experiences with others, and to share local information about resorts, groups, beaches, and swimming pools. I have also become a member of British Naturism. I think it is interesting to discuss the differences between nudism and naturism across cultures and countries. Personally, I use both terms almost interchangeably, without pretending to hold the ultimate truth. For me, naturism is closely linked to environmental values: since the 1970s I have been active in ecological associations, and nudism represents proximity and harmony with nature, fellow human beings, and all living creatures. Nudity feels natural and fulfillingit is freedom, joy, comfort and fun. I believe the France Revolution motto Liberty, Equality, Fraternity captures this lifestyle perfectly, with its emphasis on tolerance, respect, non-judgment, and kindness to others. The individual well-being of nudism, whether practiced alone or with family, is wonderfulbut the joy of social nudism, of being nude in harmony and interaction with others, is an essential part of the lifestyle. I am looking forward to meeting other naturists. PS: Please dont ask me to chat on Google, Skype, etc. IF you are not a naturist, not genuinely interested in naturism/nudism, or if your profile is empty.

I would be delighted to meet genuine naturists, exchange ideas, share activities, and have friendly conversations. Ideally, I would like to meet naturists from the London area.
