Started when I was 12 years old would get naked anytime I was along at home. Then July 2020 I had my first experience with other nudists at a legal public spot in NY just east of Erie PA. Ive joined a local nudist club they have socials twice a month. I now regret not taking the next step from home nudist to being naked around others sooner, better late than never I guess.
I do not recall a specific first nude experience as I always enjoyed casual nudity at home. Nude in locker rooms were not really a big deal for me as I had no shame showering nude and changing with other kids my age and older who were all using the pool. I actually always enjoyed being nude and checking all the different bodies and sizes out. LOL
I was in high school when a nudist friend invited me to go with him to a nearby state park. We went to a secluded sunny spot surrounded by pines and I had a feeling of freedom that all nudists experience. I was a paranoid guy, and was reluctant to go back in case a ranger showed up. A few years later I went to a nude beach and there was no turning back. Became a regular and enjoy every opportunity to be naked.
For me, it started when I was required to shower after sport and PE in school. I loved being naked in school and thought that was really cool. Then I started finding excuses to be naked outside school, and by 8th grade I was sleeping naked. In upper school, I had some sport team buddies who liked to hang naked, too. In college & grad I told roomies I slept naked. Nobody seemed to care. A couple of roomies said they did too, and a couple of others tried it and loved it. And now, when the weather is right, and when I can I'm naked at home as much as possible. Really enjoy the local k-spas, too.
I was 37 when a friend of my took me to a nude beach. He knew i was insecure about my penis. He told me there more men than you think who are not big there, He was right. After a few times we went there i felt more at ease naked and went to a nude beach on my own. Now i love it!
