While not disagreeing with what you say, sometimes it is better to agree that you will not push her to get nude as long as she doesn't object to your being nude in appropriate circumstances. That works for my wife and I]

That works for my wife and I]That is pretty much the same arrangement I have with mine. She kids me about it, and I ask her to go somewhere every once in a while, but she always says no. She doesn't have an issue with me if I do go to a nude beach or resort.

My wife doen't like the beach and rarely wants to go, so I often go by myself. She knows I "sometimes" go to a nude beach, but probably doesn't realize that "sometimes" is every time I go alone unless I am on a really tight schedule and have to go somewhere closer. She has no problem with me being nude in or private back yard pool unless we have company.

My wife has always maintained that being a nudist is in you DNA. The need, desire, preference for being naked is inside you from birth and some people just don't have it or fight it continually. It's the ol' adage, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."

I have come to that same realization. Unfortunately, far too many folks which have in their DNA seem to fight it due to social conditioning.

We were both nude at home before the kids and now after they left the house. We both have our own body image issues so although we wanted to try skinny dipping when we were younger we never did.

We went to a clothing optional hot spring a little over a year ago and once I dropped my robe, I have not looked back. My wife on the other hand has not been as hung ho. She has visited a few places with me but only likes to be nude in the water. She doesnt care if people she doesnt know sees us nude but would like to invite textile friends to join us or let them know that we are naked in front of other people.

Dont force it. Stay and do as much as you can nude around her. She may stat joining doing things around the house before getting dressed and if she becomes comfortable with that, she may try a club or beach.

I love it when I hear stories like this and the wife eventually agrees to try it - and ends up liking it. I'm married 25 years and so far no such luck. However, she just recently said should would be OK with me going to nudist events - I'm going to start with attending nude swims with the Long Island Travasuns (non-landed). She was very afraid that I was going to hookup with another female and I think I finally convinced her that nudism is pretty much the exact opposite of what she thinks with respect to sex/relationships. Looking forward to attending some events and maybe even going to a naturist gathering next summer. I still hold out hope she may change her mind but she is quite stuck in her anti-nudity (for herself) point of view.

We've met some of the Travasuns at nude swims in MA and even in ME. From what they describe, their swims sound like they are very well-run and well-attended events.

Firstly, try to find out where she stands on the subject of nudity, and why. If it's a deep-rooted aversion, it will be that much harder. If it's negative body-image, that can be worked on...with lots of patience, communication and encouragement.

To echo Andy, nudity at home is an important first step. Being frequently naked at home demonstrates a comfort level with nudity to your spouse; and if she accepts it, being nude herself becomes less daunting.

Next...clothing-optionality. A lot of resorts allow first-timers to stay covered. Telling your spouse she does not have to get naked will go a long way to making her more comfortable with the idea.
