RE:Contagious Nudity

Anyone had a situation where a housemate or partner followed your example and spending more time nude because you were without you overtly trying to convince them to do so?

Yes, wife. Took her to a CO state park, Hippie Hollows. First time she wouldn't take any thing off, and just looked at me like "your crazy" as I stripped naked and enjoyed the freedom. Trip after trip to HH she slowly took more off each time off. She eventually took all off months later, if not a year and now we are nudist couple at a local nudist resort. Plus we travel to nudist or CO places and visit with other nudist guys and gals.

A couple I worked with heard through the company gossip mill I had been spotted at Haulover. The husband asked me about it. I confirmed it. He was interested in nudism and I lent him some of my N magazines. He showed them to his wife. A few years later we ran into each other at Haulover. They had joined AANR and took my wife and I to Sunsport Gardens, which they had visited previously.

Swimming pool dressing rooms

Many times I have walked into the men's room from the showers without replacing my swimming costume. Usually there would be other men covering themselves with towels. On seeing me they would begin to peel off their towels. We congregated to compare - even better when there were ladies present. Often some of them would thank me for getting it all started.

Do you allow clothing in the hot tub or do people have to be nude in it?

I have no interesting stories just an observation over the years. With our group of friends they usually follow my wifes lead not that she is even intending that to happen. Once she decides to strip then the rest follow. She is uncomfortable wearing nothing when receiving guest at the door if its a nude home get together. It might happen in minutes or an hour hell I never know when she is going to get naked. I only say about her if there is such a thing as a shy nudist it is her.
Just the way it is.

We have a friend at our resort who often refers to herself as a modest nudist. When larger get-togethers happen, she usually assists with hosting. Her standard attire is a sheer wrap tied around her waist as she is chatting. It has always tickled me to see the *modest* nudist in action as she does the meet & greet. Its always a good time.

I think it's totally normal.

"Close-up" nudist social interactions will often feel "more exposed" because you're literally naked right in front of other people. Which is why some people might be a little more "guarded" (or even appear modest) in those situations.

When we go to the resort, my wife knows that everyone else will be naked; so she doesn't have much hesitation disrobing in the parking lot and being naked all day. She can also choose how social she wants to be on that particular day. In any event, she typically is not going to "appear modest."

When we go to the nudist B&B, she's a little bit different. Social interactions there are unavoidable. So she's typically going to initially be a little but "guarded"; usually opting to start out with a sheer open bathrobe, or a towel held in front of her. Until she's established who else is there; and how friendly, respectful and comfortable with nudity they are. That can take a few minutes; or longer. But once a positive connection has been established, it won't take long before she decides to hang up her bathrobe/towel; and engages with them naked. But if she can, she will try to avoid being the first or only woman openly naked around everyone else. It's just not in her temperament; and it's ok. I think a lot of nudist women feel the same way.

But I digress...

Yes,many times, most recently I was at a spot that had a nice swimming hole and a sandy beach, I went down there and went skinny-dipping and just laid out naked sunbathing.After awhile I went up to my vehicle to get some beers, left my trunks at the beach. There was a camper van up there with a couple there. The woman saw me and started walking towards me,I grabbed a towel and covered up. She asked if this was ok to camp,I said yes, people do it all the time, including me. I said good thing you didn't come over to the beach as I was down there naked.She said ok, come over and tell her husband, which I did, he said great lets all go down there. She said ok, but she wouldn't get naked. He already had shirt off, we all went down there and him and I got naked and went swimming and I showed him about walking upstream 30 yds and just floating down the river naked.after 30 minutes or so she took off her suit and joined us, we stayed down there all day, all of us naked. They must have sunbathed a lot because they had great all over tans.
