RE:First Experience

I honestly can't remember how old I was other than it just feels like always. I remember pulling off my pajamas after being put to bed, simply because it felt better to sleep nude. I can recall having my daily bath and never being in any rush to get dressed and remembering how nice it felt to walk around nude. I recall when I was old enough to stay on my own, that I loved for everyone to leave the house so I could have a dose of "nude time." I can remember excusing myself to go to bed early or to do homework and in reality it was to have naked time alone in my room doing every day things for hours. When I went to college, I was in my own apartment and that's when spending the whole day nude became the normal thing other than when I had to go out. Eventually the internet came about and I began to talk with and meet other nudists virtually. I made two good male friends (older and more seasoned nudists), who I began to spend time with. That turned into visiting socially nude places like resorts and legal outdoor venues. The rest is history. I know meeting my two friends, really helped mentor me on that my feelings were normal and my desire to go nude was equally normal. I try to be that kind of friend to newbies or those who want to try social nudity.

Wow. So many of you started young!

I was a little older but did surreptitiously get nude as a teen when I was the only one home, but only in a limited way. I was aware nudism was a thing thanks to seeing a couple of titillating news reports about nudism and a child and knowing a local public pool had a weekly nude night.

I only slightly expanded my horizons after my girlfriend encouraged me to be brave enough to wear Speedos and then I started thinking about wearing even less when we found a quiet beach. Public nudity only became a thing in recent years when I decided I may as well give it a go and made my first visit to Sunnyside North beach.

I turned 12 the summer of Woodstock. Seeing the photos of people hanging out naked made me curious to try it. So I found a secluded spot on our property where I could strip off. I loved the freedom and the air and sun on my skin. Within a few years I tried skinnydipping and loved that even more. So I was hooked. My first social experience was skinnydipping with a cousin and more when I was in college. Nudity has been a regular, ordinary part of my life for the past 25 years or so.

My parents always told me they could never keep clothes on me. lol. Earliest memories I have would be around 7 or 8 years old, I remember taking off my pajamas as soon as my mom left my room every night. Then there were always naked outdoor showers and skinny dipping while camping most of my life. The best nudist memories, though, began when I was 13. We moved into a new house on a lake, and throughout the summer I would get up around 6am almost every day. I would head out in my canoe to an area of the lake that was a bunch of long coves surrounded by trees. Once I reached that area I would strip down and paddle around naked for hours. It was always exciting because I had to keep a watch out for other canoers. Fishing boats were easy enough to hear approaching, but those canoes are pretty quiet! Ha!
