The Frustrated Parent
For years I've debated whether my dad was a frustrated nudist. The more I think about it, the more I think he was.
As a young child I explored every nook and cranny of our house. One day I discovered two nudist magazines, could've been the ASA's Sunshine and Health. Being a clueless kid, I mentioned finding them one evening during dinner. The next time I went to look for them they were gone. (At that age I really had no idea whether they were my mom's or dad's!)
During my childhood my dad and I shared the upstairs bathroom in the mornings. He was always nude while in there. He also began sleeping nude during this time.
Once, after becoming an adult, I was visiting my parents and my dad tried to begin wearing only underwear around the house. My mom disapproved. But also during those years, when visiting them, after waking in the morning, I would go nude into his bedroom and we would spend time together nude in his large bed.
As an adult and able to see my childhood in a more reflective mindset, it appears my mom was prudish and would have died if my dad had tried to explore his nudist tendencies.
Sounds like he was. But sometimes a relationship is more important than personal preferences. He could have easily moved right into nude living and a naturist lifestyle I'm sure. Neither of my parents had nude tendency. Although my mother had a two sided thing about it. When I was little we lived in a one room cabin for a few years with no electric, a hand pump on the well. Baths were taken in a galvanized tub on the floor, water heated on the kitchen stove. When I was around 5-6 I remember my sister starting to make comments about my nakedness during bath time. Pretending to peek and say "I see you" My mother reprimanded her mildly. But otherwise my mother would make degrading comments about nakedness at any other time as if it were something dirty or something. My sisters comments had effect on my sensitive nature and helped make me afraid to be seen naked, adding to my natural shyness. Currently still trying to get over it, but it ain't easy. It's an automatic response which is contrary to reason. And I like to live by common sense.
I believe that my father was also a nudist who really never, as far as I know, got a chance to practice nudism in nature. He always slept nude and in later years wore only a bathrobe, which was often open, when at home in the evening. He would frequently make comments about nudists and nudist locations. This led me to believe that, in his mind, nudism was close to the surface. I've often thought about this and have wondered if he was really a nudist at heart.
I often wonder if those outside sources, outside influences make a person more tense, frustrated and irritated that they can't do what they'd truly love to do. Do you ever feel your sister exhibits any of these traits? It would be great if she would at least open up and talk to you about it but I suspect her strong religious beliefs would hinder that.
I agree that this is an inherited trait. I too have said it's in my genes or DNA. Looking back I remember that my father's mother was not the least bit reluctant to undress in front of others. We always attributed it to her age and mental condition but the fact of the matter is that she was quite sane and aware of things. She was just very slow and seemed out of things because of physical problems and not mental ones.
I've often said that it's a shame when someone who is a true nudist at heart never gets a chance to revel in their nudism or even to discover that they are actually a nudist.

When younger, on numerous occasions, my sister showed an interest in nudity, maybe mine more than hers. In the last few years I've casually brought up nude topics two or three times, and have not gotten any interest from her.

Could be those of us who take to nudism quickly, such as immediately during our first visit to a nude beach or resort, have it in our DNA. Whereas, those who take far longer, maybe years, to become comfortable with their nudity don't have it in their DNA, but acquire the taste over time.
When I consider our beginnings, how our Creator intended us to be naked all the time, and then how sin intervened and caused shame. It's not surprising that there should be a background desire surfacing now and then in various people to return to the original state. I think it's quite a legitimate thing, similar and related to the desire to return to that perfect original state in other ways. Get rid of the stress and difficulties of our life, go back to before all this worlds trouble began. Close as I can get is to intentionally be a naked gardener and eat what I grow. Best choice for health in all ways I think.
