Nudist to the Bone
Hi there, and it's a pleasure to join this group!
As a child, my household was a little strange. We were very nudity-positive. I showered with my parents and siblings, no one ever closed a door, and being naked was never anything we were reprimanded for or encouraged not to do. To this day, at 28 years old, I still feel comfortable chatting with my mom in the bathroom while she showers or dresses. However, my house was very sex-negative. My parents actively discouraged sexual expression of any kind, including masturbation. Needless to say, I was a confused kid.
As I came into myself, I thought it was strange that so many people were ashamed of their bodies. While I did succumb to some peer pressure to hide my junk while changing in the locker rooms in middle or high school, it didn't last long and I quickly stopped caring. As I got older, I always really enjoyed hanging out in the shower with the guys and being naked whenever and wherever I could. When I went to UC Berkeley, I found myself hanging around the clothing-optional co-op almost every day -- an avid participant in Naked Pizza Fridays. San Francisco is a haven for nudists, but I unfortunately witnessed a small recision of this freedom due to some individuals who gave us a bad name (lookin' at you, creepy Castro guy). All in all, the nude beaches, body positivity, and open culture allowed me to be naked as the day I was born nearly anywhere I liked.
My living arrangements with various roommates have always been clothing-optional and I loved that. My husband thinks I'm crazy -- he's not the kind to strip down ANYWHERE, and that's perfectly ok -- but he's completely supportive and is glad to see me express myself.
One thing I wish I could do more of is go hiking or camping in the nude. I haven't had any opportunities for that, and I'm looking forward to finding some people here to do those things with!
As always, ask me anything!
Hello, Thanks for accepting me into this great group. I live in a very rural area and find it impossible to find other nudists in my area. I hope that I will find others here that share some of the same interests.
I travel for work and pleasure and make a point of meeting nudists where I can. Many of us don't have local friends for all sorts of reasons. I also host n guest.
