Fun Question.
I'm not sure how it is a fun question. I'm 73, joined TN 7 years go (or maybe 8) and am a paid life member. It does surprise me that so many members do not pay and then complain that they can only see a few photos. There has to be some incentive for those of us who contribute to the site's running costs.
We joined this site in 2008, left briefly a few years ago and only came back because its a way to promote our lifestyle, We are life members/part owners of a resort, (all life members are part owners) We have served on boards etc to promote this lifestyle, We are not life members of this site but life members of AANR.

I'm 57, been a nudist since I was very young. Non-participating wife (unfortunately). Joined the site about 8 years ago but didn't really participate much until very recently. The reason for the uptick in participation was becoming empty nesters. Had a discussion with my wife and she agreed to let me be nude around the house as much as I want (which is always). She also agreed to let me participate in "away from the home" nudist events - going to join the local non-landed club (Long Island Travasuns) as soon as they have their next pool party. Also joined AANR and TNS
Her major concern was that I "meet someone" and decide to leave her. She REALLY doesn't get it. I assured her that is not the reason I participate in the nudist lifestyle and she seemed to finally accept that.
She's starting to come around - was on the boat with her the other day and had to put on shorts to adjust the anchor. She says "Why are you put ting on shorts"? I guess she's getting used to my natural nude state. Good stuff.
