RE: Curious and unsure

Hi there, My wife and I have been marrried for 10 years and have 2 kids 7 and 4. I want to try the naturist lifestyle on a weekend away with the wife (minus kids at first) but have no idea how to ask her. I am pretty sure she will not be in for it. She is happy nude around the house and kids but she is still loosing wieght and I am not sure she would like it in front of others. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would appreciate emails to satanact@yahoo.com.au because I cannot get on here that often. Thanks Satan

Hi Satan,

I wish you could just tell your wife that there will also be other women trying to lose weight wherever you wind up, but that may not be the right approach.

Have you absolutely never brought up the subject with her before? When I started my discovery of naturism, I kept my wife informed the whole time and she was always involved in my research on the subject. After all, she's my wife. Therefore, I hope she at least has some idea of what naturism is, at least as much as you do. If not, you may have a harder time convincing her than if she was involved from the beginning.

Have you and your wife ever perused a magazine about naturism together? Have you commented on articles about naturism or how naturist photos tend to be quite different from those used in pornography?

You say your wife is already quite happy to be nude at home. That IS an important first step. Maybe it's time to show her some printed material, preferably not just off the Internet, but all the same from legitimate sources. No matter where you live in the world, it would be hard to not recommend checking out The Naturist Society. It is one of the most credible naturist organisations around. They, in turn, can help you find an organisation closer to home for more information.

Good luck! Nude life is best shared, and a spouse or other life-partneris the first person your should share it with.

Just taking our time. She visits the local c/o beach with me and
dresses however she feels comfortable at the moment. I have a lot more vacation time from work so I communicate
with her openly when I go to the the club or beach by myself. She expresses interest in joining me at the club and I am sure she will join
me when she is ready.

That is the heart of it right there, for me. I enjoy being nude with friends when my wife is not able to be there (like yesterday, when I spent the afternoon at the resort), but it is sooooo much more a great experiece when we share the nude time together.

Edit: Immediately after I hit "submit on the above, I read the area quoted to my sweet wife, and she responded an enthusiastic, "Well, it is. It makes it so much better."

I would never think about pushing my wife into being naked, but I often think about pushing her off a high cliff, he,he,

I think all of our mates think that from time to time and I would believe that's a two-way street. LOL

Thank you. Rather than showing the brochure to your GF, leave it where she'll see it. It will have greater impact if she finds it herself.

A friend of us had Herpes....with the sporadic marks in her lower back. She was then an on/off nudist for a while and we couldn't understand why.
For her having herpes was a shame. She was worried of people giving her a ''reputation'' because of that.
We ''discovered'' when my wife was with her at a store shopping for some dresses... from that point on it slowly became a non-issue. With our acceptance and ''so-what'' attitude she started to forget about potential other peoples opinion.
Reluctance to nudity is never where or when you think it may be.

If you have a reluctant mate, the answer is simple. Get a new mate, Problem solved.

That's not facing the issue/problem - deal with it. Nudism isn't for everyone but the reluctant mate might want to think his/her issues throughly through before offering any kind of ultimatum.

@jackieinoz,
Your tale of first a confirmingly bad experience followed by a surprisingly good experience brings joy and hope to those of us with have other halves who are unable to accommodate the naturist way of life in a partner. Well done for giving it a second (and more) shot. I don't think it's necessary for all of us to do the same as everyone else, or even the same as our partner, but we do need to respect them and to be able to share time with them. Sometimes we have to put our prejudices and our "histories" aside to be able to do so. Very impressed with your experience, Jackie, good on yer! :-)
Rich.
