Interesting Dan, my wife told me while we were sitting in the hot tub alone at the club that she still sees nudity as sexual and nasty. She does it because she knows I like it. I think the dance may have changed her mind a bit.
thank your wife often for being willing to go outside her own comfort zone to be you in your new/bigger one. she is a precious one!
Nudity is a state of mind. Sexuality/Sensuality is an activity. They may be kept completely separated or finds some areas of blending.
For us, our nude club is enjoyed with a small group of older than us, like-minded people who are open, accepting, and trusting. many who are always clothed since it IS a C/O club, except in the hot tub.
We are even newer to home nudity. It's an after-effect of the 1st. That has lead to an increased level of sexuality. And we are enjoying that too.
FREEDOM, EXCEPTENCE, and being 1 with nature. The smiles on others faces when greeted ! "See me" as God created. Shapes and size are God's sense of humor! Enjoy with my wife and loving her for times with others w/o sexualizing it. Helping others to see how relaxing can be w/o cloth. No cost to drop cloth and smile. The only difficult part is when leaving to put cloth back on !
Less costs for laundry and pack less when visiting others that are nudes !
Folks are friendlier and "down to earth"
Allows us to be happier and sense the change of season to enjoy outside! Doing chores nude seems less like work :o)
My first nudist experience was in 1994 when I found out about a nudist resort where I could go skinny-dipping like I used to at the YMCA before it went co-ed and discontinued the nude swims for males
It was there I found out that being nude was not constrained to being inside in front of other males in locker rooms but outside in mixed company enjoying the feeling of warm fresh air all over my naked body.
Being nude in front of other people is not something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about
I enjoy the comfort of being nude so much that I joined a number of nudist organizations, went to a number of nudist events and have been on nude cruises
Being nude gives me a feeling of liberation and has greatly increased my self-confidence
I am now so captivated by it that I now live in a clothing optional community where I can enjoy the feeling of being clothing free almost all of the time. The average person spends more time dressed in one day than I do in a month
Currently living in Florida's Most Beautiful Clothes-Free Resort
Posted on my blog about this:
Because it feels good
Because I find tan lines graceless
Because its healthy
Because its ecological
Because it builds confidence
Because its friendlier
Because most activities do not require clothes
Because we are all human beings and theres no need to hide behind clothes
Because I can travel light
Because it shows who you really are
Because its who I am
Voil!
so many good reasons have already been posted. Let me add one thing: Nudism is a great way to stay away from burnout and being exhausted. I really have this often in mind when I hear stories of friends and colleagues about this and always say to may self: they all should join the nude mouvement and we wont have such troubles anymore. Nudism is a perfect way to have a good work-life-balance.
I want to thank all of you who have contributed to this discussion. Let's keep it going!I hope many will find it and be encouraged to be clothes free as often as possible.
A world with mutual openness, trust, acceptance and respect would be a better place. We can bring that to our part of it.
I mentioned rebellion against the pornographic conception of our bodies. But that's just a small part. The more I think about the garden of eden and it's various elements, the more I realize what a perfect plan that was. The nude life of garden tending and eating what grew right off the plants, the sunshine exposure, playing with the animals, skinny dippin in the rivers, a real tropical paradise it was.
All Christians profess to love Jesus and want to have what He promised, eternal life, restoration to the lost paradise. But that was a naturist gardeners lifestyle. So why are they so against naturism now? They just aren't thinking clearly, the devil has them tricked into denying the lifestyle that God gave us as a perfect gift in the beginning. Tricked into thinking that retaining the shame of sin in nudity is an asset rather than a detriment. The apostle wrote "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus" That means no shame. Why do they insist on hanging onto the shame then? I want what Jesus promised in all it's aspects, the lifestyle, the diet, even the nude gardening aspect, so I'm going to do my best to reproduce what little I can of it now. And in order to spend as much time as possible in such a lifestyle I will have to figure out how to make a livin at it. Logically grow enough food to sell extra beyond what I need to eat.
I find it very much more comfortable to work naked when it gets warm, I can keep working longer, and it's easier to cool off, just douse with cool water and go back to work, no soggy shorts. But that's just a little bit of it as well. I will work naked even when it's too chilly to need to, as long as I keep warm enough. Just because it feels better than the brush of fabric against the skin, it just feels good to be free of all covering. No real reason why it feels better, and a lot of people never tried it, or their preconceived opinions override any benefits. When it's too cold to work naked I reluctantly stay dressed up in fabric, wishing I didn't have to. Although I still have a background nagging feeling of being scared to be seen naked by someone not compatible with it, wish I could get rid of that feeling, maybe it will keep dwindling, it's already partly subdued. I don't know where the balance is between respecting their wishes to not see nakedness and my reluctance to be seen, versus the need to get rid of the reluctance. I don't think I will push the issue. Just work naked in isolation and there will be visitors coming into my space on occasion I'm sure, that may be enough. I don't need to invade their space while bucking the clothing tradition even though there's a lot of crossover between their space and mine.
Like most of you, agree with most of the reasons given by other posters as to why theyre a nudist. Nonetheless, here are my top three reasons in order of importance:
0. Privileged to have been born with the nudism gene, inherited from my dad. There are two kinds of nudists, born and made. A born nudist can repress their nudism, but cannot make it go away. May as well embrace it and enjoy all its benefits. (As a software developer I get to start lists with zero. A programmers inside joke.)
1. Better connected to my surroundings, which makes me feel more alive. When my entire body is experiencing the environment as a whole it feels different and better than when wearing clothing. (At some point in their lives, many people walk barefoot in the sand, skinny-dip, or sleep nude in order to experience this phenomenon. Yet, they dont take it to the next level and spend more time enjoying the sensual connections to their surroundings.)
2. Enhanced physical and psychological freedom, which makes me happier to be alive. Youth was following rules and not rocking the boat; go to school, wear the uniform of my peers, dont make mom mad. College was much of the same; go to class, wear the uniform of college students, work during summer and semester breaks. Career was restrictive in different ways; get and keep a good job, wear the uniform of white collar professionals, become a indebted homeowner. Being nude is my way to rebel against all the social expectations and constraints heaped upon us.
3. Greater enjoyment of work, tasks, and chores; which makes each more fun. Working from home has allowed me to work nude whenever the mood moves me, which is most of the time. It is far more comfortable and convenient. Tasks such as cooking or painting a room are more enjoyable when done nude. Chores like cleaning, doing laundry (it happens), and ironing arent such a chore when done nude.
