Where were you and what were you doing when you decided to join the nudist life style?

RE:First time?

Since I began much earlier than some, 14 years of age, my situation may be a little different. I began going naked at home and in our backyard every time I was home alone. Being the oldest of 7, it was not easy being home alone!

But the first time I was nude around other nudists and felt like part of that community and decided that, this is who I really am ... was at a nude beach in Northern California. I was 18/19 at the time.

I was in the Navy, stationed in the Bay area. A good friend and shipmate and I, were traveling south for the day. I had a car and we frequently drove out of the city to get away and enjoy our time away from the ship and military. We were headed to Santa Cruz when we came upon a couple dozen cars parked on the side of the road. I stopped to see why these people stopped and parked. We came upon Bonny Doon beach near Davenport, CA. A short hike down to the beach and around a bend and there they were ... lots and lots of nude people enjoying the beach.

Santa Cruz would have to wait another day! I went back up to my car, grabbed a slipping bag I kept in the back and headed back to the beach. We found a spot away but not too far away from the others. While sitting and checking out the routines of various people, two young women and one young man, that appeared to be our ages, came over to greet us. They sat in the sand off my sleeping bag and we began to talk. We found out they were going to college in Santa Cruz. We talked for quite some time but my buddy needed to stay lying on his stomach ... hahaha

After a while, they invited us to join them by their blankets where they shared their water, wine and food. We spent several hours on the beach with these new friends and I ended up visiting the beach and visiting with these friends every weekend I didn't or couldn't go home. Money was tight for us so going home every weekend was not an option. I told my wife about the beach and she asked if I'd take her up there one day. After I was discharged from the Navy, we took a driving trip and I stopped at Bonny Doon. We took our sleeping bag, our small cooler and headed to the beach. There she saw a couple hundred nudists all enjoying the beach. She didn't hesitate to strip and it's her favorite "tolerated" nude beach to this day.

Strange thing was that she would not be willing to venture into social nudism for several years after this visit to Bonny Doon. It wasn't until I visited our local nude beach and told her about it. Come to find out, she was more willing to be naked in social settings away from home. She feared seeing someone we knew or she worked with. Funny thing was, though not nude venues, we ran into more people we knew away from home and in textile situations!
