Some time ago my wife and I were discussing what we’d like to do and I said, “I wish we had some property so we could run naked in the woods together”. She thought that it sounded like fun.
Fast forward a few years and the subject came up again, but since we still did not own any property she said what about one of those bare locations (sounds like she might have been thinking about this a little). So we Googled nude and Oklahoma and located two places inside an hour’s drive of us. We sent an e mail to both and got a very nice answer from OakLake Trails near Depew. So I get a call from my wife at work one day telling me I needed to take a day off as she had made a reservation for a night’s stay during the week we figured that less people would be there as we got our “feet wet” during the week).
We arrived at OLT and were given a tour of the resort. After filling out the paperwork we were off to our cabin. We disrobed, grabbed our towels and stepped outside for our first ever nude in public encounter. We chose to walk one of the trails to get comfortable. As we were returning down a road to our cabin we passed by some folks clothe, I didn’t recognize it was clothing optional.
I told my wife, “If you’d told me three weeks back I’d be walking down the road buck naked in front of folks I’d have said you were insane,” but there we were doing just that and it didn’t even feel bizarre. We then headed off to the pool and hot tub to soak and relax.
We met nudist family pictures that night as we soaked in the hot tub and spent the next day lounging round the pool, but soon it was time to leave. On the way home my wife said, “that’s the first time that I felt comfortable in my very own skin.”
How soon did we go back? Five days later we spent the day there and have since become members of OLT.

Nude at Big Sur
My ideal of camping is roughing it at the Hilton. LOL! My boyfriend is an avid camper and had been after me to join him. Eventually, I agreed and he offered several destinations and I decided Big Sur.
Arriving early Friday for a long weekend, we pretty much had our selection of camp sites. My boyfriend picked the site and we headed around to set up camp. The chill of the morning air was gone and temperature was in the mid 80’s. I had always harbored a fantasy of being nude in an outside setting but never dreamed I was about to comprehend my dream.
I had no clue about setting up camp so mainly observed until it was time to lift the tent. I was actually beginning to feel the temperature and since no one was around, slipped my t shirt off and had my bikini top on. My boyfriend just smiled and kept working. I started to receive the best feeling and suddenly had this uncontrollable urge to take my bikini top off.
As quickly as the idea came to me…off came my top. Wow! What an awesome feeling! My BF said he adored seeing me topless but watch for other campers or camp rangers! I laughed and shortly he ha dhis shirt off. Almost set up when a car stopped and 3 girls asked if they could set up in the following site. I said sure. The unpacked the SUV and before they did anything, all three were topless. They did ask for some help by using their tent and my BF obliged. We had lunch as well as a beer and by this time I am feeling around dressed with my shorts on…and just that quick I was down to my panties. Two more SUV’s drove by but not even a second look. We grabbed our towels and cooler and began to the seashore when our neighbors requested us to wait for them as they’d never been there before and didn’t need to drift into the wrong area and cause an issue about being topless.
In minutes, the 5 of us were headed down the route to the beach. We did pass a family coming up the path but they were not upset of 4 topless women. When we arrived at the sand, there were several other couples in a variety of stages of dress on the shore. Two of our neighbors instantly dropped their bikini bottoms and continued as though totally normal. Hey, if this works for them…off comes mine. I was so excited I did not find that my BF was also nude. On the shore, absolutely nude and feeling the greatest feeling of freedom. As the sun was setting, we all headed back to camp. We girls put on the bottoms of our bikinis but never bothered with our tops.
By the time we were nearing our campsite, we found the camp was almost full and yet no one said a word about us being topless. My BF and our neighbors pretty much spent the weekend together and around camp, we’d our bottoms on and were topless until the night air chill arrived. Nude on the beach Saturday and Sunday and it was about a 50/50 mixture of people naked and clothed but there were no issues. I still have mixed feeling about the camping but the independence of being absolutely naked ourdoors never loses its appeal. We also appreciate nudity at home.

Nude at 12
Much to my mother’s chagrin, I opted to skip PJ’s during the warm summer nights of my 12th year. Raised Catholic, nudity was frowned upon under any circumstances. A swimsuit was ordinary attire in the backyard pool until one day I determined that swimsuits were nonessential and I strolled out to the pool fully bare. My dad tried not to notice but Mom immediately told me to get a suit on. I shrugged and spread my towel and laid down on the adjacent yard. I never felt awkward or tense being naked. Later Mom addressed my nudity and said it was no okay particularly in mixed company. I paid no heed and the following afternoon, my parents and aunt, uncle and cousins were all outside at the pool and once more, I strolled outside completely bare. With a few gasps from my parents and aunt and uncle, I acted as though there was nothing new or distinct. About 30 minutes later, my 15 and 16 year old cousins casually removed their tops and astonishingly, nothing was said. Soon to follow were their bikini bottoms.
Here we were! 3 absolutely nude young ladies when my other cousin opted to join us and lost his swimsuit. Still nothing was said. Late in the day, we BBQ’d and we did set the undersides on while eating. After dark, we were nude again only this time,my aunt stood up and slipped off her sundress and panties and joined us in the pool.
Mom, not sure what to do or say, just sat and watched. My aunt began to tease Mom and amid all our laughing, Mom stripped naked and jumped in the pool. Afterwards, father warmed the Jacuzzi and all of the adults were enjoying a nude soak.
After everyone had gone home, Mother came into my room with just a sarong wrapped around her waist and sat down on my bed. I’m certain that she thought I would tease her but I acted as though I did not discover her nude breast. Mother was a little nervous so I asked her how she felt being naked with the family and she said she’d always wanted to try being nude but never had the nerve. She admitted that she admired me and was happy she finally realized her want to be naked. I believe that was the last time anyone wore a swimsuit in the backyard and pool.
When I went away to college, we’d different pools for women and men. There were several other women that were topless in the pool and I followed the first couple of times but eventually walked out of the showers bare one day. Shortly, most of the topless women were naked and after several weeks, it was pretty much naked for everyone. That was Berkley CA.
One day, a male student came in the women’s pool and stipped naked. He got a couple of stares but no one objected. Being friendly, I approached him to say hello and struck up a dialog. We met there frequently and shortly began seeing each other socially. We were together through 4 years at Berkley and we’ve been happily married for almost 15 years. We still go bare at Mom and Dad’s but have a beautiful small house with a private lawn and we frequently entertain both our nude and textile pals.

My wife made me do it!
30 years past wife and I were in the Caribbean at a private resort on a tiny island. We’re early risers and walked to the end of the beach near our bungalo. Nobody was about and my wife took off her top and then dared me to go skinny dipping. So I chucked my trunks on the towel and went for a swim in the surf while she sat and read her novel. The surf was rough and when I got back I just flopped down to rest never covering up. With the warm sun and sound of the surf I fell fast asleep but felt safe with my wife on guard.
Later I awoke to voices. Two ladies we met the night before at diner were speaking to my wife. Apparently my wife had waved to them to join us but she didn’t wake me. I reached for my trunks but they were gone. My wife had taken them and place them in her tote so she had set me up. I was lying face down but was still very difficult with the situation.
The women, sisters, acted as nothing was wrong and they sat down to chat. Finally one said it was nice for my wife to ask them to join us as they have not been on a clothing optional beach before and one of the sisters asked my wife if it was ok to join me. My wife said sure and she took off her suit. Her more bashful sister didn’t. After a bit they asked about the rough surf as they saw my wet hair and my wife offered me to be their life-guard as I was a competitive swimmer. They ladies thanked me before I could say anything. So I rolled away from them and jumped up and ran to the surf and jumped in before anyone could get much of a look. My wife merely grinned.
So the sisters got into the surf and I kept a respectable distance from them. Eventaully the self-conscious sister removed her suit too once she was in the water and was delighted until her bolder sister stole her suit and chucked it up onto the beach saying that now she’d need to walk out nude. I felt horribile for her, so I walked out onto the sand and got her suit for her. Nobody ought to be forced into anything.
It was at that moment that I didn’t feel nude in any way. I walked out of the water, got her suit for her and walked back to give it to her not caring who was looking at me. Soon afterwards we all got out as well as returned to the towels where my wife was still reading. That is when the sisters noticed I was a smoothie. They made a remark and my wife just said “I prefer him that way”.
I remained bare until we were ready to go back for brunch. As we got up and the sisters started to put on their suits my wife suggested that it’d be absurd for me to put my suit back on and that I walk back to the bungalo nude. It absolutely was her way of challenging me. So I look down the beach and as there were just a few people on the far end I said sure. With that the bolder sister chose to join me in the bare walk also, and so we went.
They joined us several time that week. I was constantly naked, my wife never was, but on the final day the daring sister decided to be a smoothie too! My wife still likes me to be naked around the home, but not her!

Hot Springs
We simply went to a clothing-optional hot springs in northern California. I ‘d never experienced social nudity before, and I was extremely nervous.
I went into a dressing room to undress, and my heart was punding outside my torso. The time came to step out into the public area, and as I did, a woman was there undressing. I asked where to place my bag, and she said she merely leaves hers there by the bences. There I was, nude – in front of total strangers.
I went into the Osan to get into one of the three flumes, and there were about 15 people there. I got in and waited for my wife. About 5 minutes later, she arrived and joined me. It was amazing to stretch out in a bath of hot water with nothing on!
Shortly I needed to get out and cool off in the swimming pool, I grabbed my towel and placed it “stratigeclly” over my shoulder and walked down to the pool area and jumped in. I ‘d not skinny dipped since childhood, and I was instantly taken back to that time. I swam around for about 10 minutes, then went back to http://x-nudists.com . This went on for about three hours. At about the thrid trip to the pool, I was not even taking my towel to cover up. It was strange – I did not even really notice that I was naked, or anyone else for that matter.
I am now hooked and will return to this facility frequently. After just a few hours, I felt so completly relaxed and rejuvinated. Hopefully my wife will soon come to realize the freedom and relaxation that can happen when you shed your shell. My only regrets were that I hadn’t done this earlier and had to get dressed and go home.
