My first time nude was in 1986 at Rincon Beach in Santa Barbara, California, when I was 16 years old. I ‘d been nude at home when no one else was home and was and still am a swimmer so I was used to having next to nothing on.

I saw a novel in the travel part of the bookstore about California nude beaches and detected Rincon was the closest to me. Pre GPS, I got out a Thomas Guide and figured out where to get off the freeway.

I had a Speedo on underneath just in case I backed out and still wanted to enjoy the beach with next to nothing on. I walked the shore to the bare area, put my towel down, dropped my shorts, and sat down. It took only about 30 minutes I would say to begin being comfortable and to actually get up to walk around. Any fears of “delight” went away http://videonudism.com and has never been a difficulty.

I seen this beach nearly everyday during the summer making the one hour drive each way.

My subsequent challenge was getting my girlfriend years after to try. She was hesitant at first, and also would say she would do it, but would never remove her swimsuit when we got there. After several times, she eventually went topless and then nude. It eventually became prohibited to go naked at Rincon and there’s nothing closer to appreciate.

Nudity was appreciated in our house ever since. After marrying, we bought a house with a completely private backyard and can take pleasure in the lawn and pool naked. We made it a point to raise our kids bare additionally (now ages 4 – 10) and they have no problems with it.

A close friend I work with knows I am a nudist and has come to our house with his wife to attempt. He eventually brought his two children and they took to it right away when seeing our children nude also. The wonderful thing is children take to it naturally and it is not as difficult as when you begin it at an elderly age.

I’m now 43 and appreciate dwelling in a nude environment. I look forward to the ending of the day when I can strip my clothes off at home and just be comfortable with nothing. Still being a swimmer, a Speedo is sometimes too much for me and I wish they still had the old days at the YMCA where swimming was done bare.

First Time 50 years or 1 month

We moved to CA when I was 33, bought a house and had a pool constructed. I immediately started skinny-dippin’ at nighttime. My daughter would frequently join me. When she left home to join the Navy I started cleaning the pool in the nude, in the daytime of course. When I was 44 my company sent us to the Bahamas to put in a missile tracking station. They’d a nude beach which my wife and I visited. She maintained it was naked because there were never any people on it. I started taking off my skimpy swim suit after a week or so and after about a month I just left it in the trunk of the vehicle. One day we’d walked about 3 miles down the beach and turned to go back. Around the first bend in the shore we saw 3 couples walking toward us in city clothes. It was high tide so we went into the water so that they would have room to pass without becoming wet. When they were even with us they inquired if we lived on the island and we answered “yes.” Then they barraged us with questions-what did we do for recreation, cost of living, etc? We rather pointed at the shore, water and some nice shells we’d picked up. As we got to our car one of the men inquired if I was not sort of embarrassed being the only naked guy in a group of eight. I looked down and said “Gosh, I’M nude! You know THIS IS a nude beach and I ‘d presume YOU’d be embarrassed wearing garments.” Fast forward thirty years, my wife fell into delicate health and I lost her five years afterwards. Our last serious chat she suggested I marry again and I should join a “nudist colony.” After she passed I spent a miserable month and then remembered her suggestion. I printed out the free first time visitor pass and went to Glen Eden. I met many nice people, swam a lot, basked in sunlight and that night I slept all night with no tears. The next week I took the motor home and dogs and went again for two nights. Again I slept like a baby all night. Guess what? The next week I joined and got a Gold Seal gate pass. I only dwell 17 miles so I go out about every other day and my sleepless nights have almost vanished. So now, was I a nudist when I skinny dipped in my very own pool or on my first trip to GE?

What did you expect?

After many years of wrestling together with the thought,
I eventually made it to a naturist resort in beautiful Palm Springs. I was moments away from stepping outside for my first ever encounter, when someone rapped on the door. Without thinking I popped it open to locate a wonderful but completely clothed woman standing there. Seemingly she had the wrong room number. I’m proud of the very fact that I didn’t even flinch. Her direct eye contact was as if it was set in stone. But, when she turned to leave she really “got an eye full” as she walked away.

My first thought was something like, “Well, what did you expect, feathers?” So, with that idea in mind I went outside and started the best and most relaxing vacation I ‘d ever had. Naturally, http://picsnudists.com haven’t looked back,
except to laugh. At that time, I became a
practicing naturist and I’m proud of it.

Adding to my bucket list

My first experience was at Blacks Beach in La Jolla California. I was there just out of boot camp and while in my “A” school I kept hearing about the nude beach in La Jolla. I’d started a bucket list of stuff I wanted to do in life a few years previously and got to thinking….why not? I could add this to my bucket list!! I’m 3000 miles from anyone I know, it’d be fantastic to say that once when I was 24, I went to a nude beach.

One of my “A” school buddies and I made the decision to give it a shot on our last weekend in San Diego. We were a bit nervous as we headed to the beach. Eventually when we got there, we preferred to walk up and down the seashore with our clothes on and then made a decision to discard our clothing!

We were both amazed at how fast we became comfortable with being naked, we truly felt more awkward when we’d clothes on and nobody else did! We stayed for several hours, swimming, enjoying the sunlight, and having a great time. Funny story about that trip, I dozed off on the seashore. Not certain what I was dreaming about, but I started to get an erection and it woke me up and I needed to sit up and cover up, and was pretty embarrassed. In 22 years since that time, it’s still the only spontaneous erection I have ever had at a nude resort. When folks ask me questions about being a nudist, that’s among the most commonly asked questions, and it just doesnt happen.

as soon as I returned home from that first encounter, I thought that was it. I didnt know it existed elsewhere. Several years later, after moving to South Carolina, I somehow found out about a resort in the Columbia, SC region. They’ve an annual even called Nudestock and I spent the weekend there and was caught! Now everywhere I go, I seem to see what nudist resorts are in the region.

I have a complete change in my self body image. Before my first experience I was really self conscious of my body….now I ‘m extremely confident in my body. I feel amazing when the sun, breezes, and water caress my body…it is entirely a fully freeing experience! I talk openly about my encounters and have taken several folks for their first experiences and never has anyone had a bad experience.

Free at Last

My first time naked experience happened when a friend of mine talked me into going to a clothes optional get together at health club with her. I was incredibly nervous the whole week before but I was comitted to doing it. We entered the club and went to what was marked as the women’s locker room to undress. The very first thing I saw was a guy taking his briefs off. My friend saw my confusion and laughingly said “everything’s coed here.” We got a couple of lockers. She was nude in no time. I had taken my top and shorts away but froze there; too anxious to take anything else off. I kept looking around at who else was in the room and was just plain nervous. I attempted to unhook my bra but my hands were trembling so badly I could not manage it. My buddy took care of it for me. So there I was topless. I quickly shed my panties and place everything in the locker before I lost my nerve. What a feeling when I walked out of that locker room completely nude iin front of 100 people. It was exhilirating and embarassing at the same time. But there I was hiding noothing. We headed for the pool. Swimming around naked felt so nice and it kind of felt I was covered. Next came the sauna for about 5 minutes to dry off.

Check itBy the time we left the sauna I felt entirely comfortable with being naked and wondered what all my nervousness had been about. I was hooked. This was fantastic. So freeing. We went over to observe the volleyball game for some time. When that match ended I joined the next game. OMG. Was this great or what? Here I was bouncing across the volleyball court entirely nude and loving every second of it. It struck me that in about a half hour I went from petrifed to take my bra away to cavorting nude. I was so free. We stayed for over two hours and I hated to put clothes on after. LOL. That was it for me. I became a nudist. That was about 20 years ago and I’ve never looked back.
