What was your first publicly nude experience like? Who or what made it special and memorable?
It seems right that I share first as I started this thread...here goes.
I am really new to public/social nudity, like 2 months new. I have been a private, home nudist for decades but, outside of a locker room, I had not been nude in public. One of my best friends has been interested in nudity, specifically public nudity, for about 6 years. He has been going to a nude beach near we live for about 4 years and he had been sharing his growing comfort with public nudity and I was intrigued. I had wanted to try public nudity for a long time but was scared to step out and explore it fully. There were many reasons for the fear that Im not going into here, just know there were a lot of background thinking going on as i argued with myself about taking this specific risk.
In early September we were having beautiful weather and my friend said he was going to the nude beach. Finally convinced that I could do this I asked if I could go to the beach with him. He said yes and so we made plans for the following weekend. While we were waiting he saw on a group he was following that they were going to have a nude hike and swim and he joined them for that event. He came home from that event and joined the group officially. We confirmed our Saturday schedule but he received an email notice from the group that they were doing another nude hike and swim...on the Saturday to the beach we were planning to go to. He suggested we join the group for the event and then emailed the coordinator of the event that he was bringing a friend...me.
Ive covered the mental gymnastics I did for the rest of the week in other posts. The end result was I ended up naked on a beach, with a group of strangers and no clothing to be seen. My friend had been late joining the group so I did the hike without him. He came and settled near me, we both spread out our towels and I got ready to enjoy the sun on my bare body.
My friend was talking to a couple of guys who had been on the hike and mentioned that in 25 years of friendship we had never seen each other naked and we all shared a laugh, a slightly nervous laugh on my part. He then went on to sat that this was the first time I had been nude in public. I was congratulated on taking the plunge. Then my friend opened hid backpack, pulled out 2 plastic cups and a bottle of well chilled mead and we shared a celebratory toast for my first nude adventure.
This was the perfect way to seal that memory forever and I will always we remember my first nude beach and the very special way my best friend had welcomed me into this new and exciting world.
Hi like most in this group Ive been a home nudist for years, but this past July I accidentally came upon a clothing optional spot. Was fishing at a lake an hour north of Pittsburgh and struck up a conversation with a guy who was fishing near me. We talked for awhile and said to him wish I new of a good place to catch trout. He told about a place he went to the evening before caught some nice ones. So I took the hour and a half drive northeast to the spot found the trail down into the gorge at the bottom I went to the right first caught some fish then went to the left from the trail and seen a rock with the words nudist area next 1 miles. Couldnt believe what I was seeing then saw a couple walking towards me naked they stopped and got dressed at the rock so I asked if this was actually a legal nudist area they said yes but only 1 mile from the rock and there was another rock paint end of nudist area. Upon hearing this without anymore thinking stripped and walked down the gorge it felt so wonderful and natural not to be clothed in nature after walking for about half mile found a water fall and swimming hole with about 20 to 30 people sunning swimming and just socializing, found a spot to put my gear down at said hi to the people nearest to me and went for a swim. Talked to a couple who where swimming also they congratulated me along with others that heard me talking on taking the plunge into social nudism . I now belong to a local nudist club near my home but do to COVID-19 restrictions recently put in place they had to suspend the swim/socials until the restrictions are relaxed enough. I cant wait until that happens until then Im stuck being a home nudist when I can.
I went bowling with the Chicago fun club. It was nerve racking and I got a little excited when I first undressed but it quickly went away. It didnt hit reality for me until I turned from taking a shot and saw a middle aged woman take off her pants in nothing but a bra and then that popped off and we just looked at each other naked. It was special mainly cuz it was the first time a group of people were seeing me naked and I had no issues with it
I actually was with my ex at the time and she forgot an extra towel so I gave mine and walked naked from the showers back to the trailer I was staying in at the time. I don't think anyone saw me, but if they did I'm pretty sure they enjoyed the show lol
my wife had never been naked in public other than showers in the gym. I was a nudist when we got married. we started exploring our state and found lots of hot springs.which most were C/O. I would get naked while she would not. At night she started going naked and loved, wondered why she waited so long. later in the summer we went to a hot spring some friends told us about, had 2 big pools, benches and towel racks and a sunbathing spot. It was 10 am and there were 2 ladies floating around the pool on air mattresses, both were buck naked. My wife immediately strpped down and went for a soak. stayed all day. Made me go into town and get her an air mattresses for the next couple of days the 3 of them floated around at the pool naked. got a good tan.my wife has been a nudist since.even went back up there with the people that told us about it.
My nudist tendencies started at home and expanded to social gatherings with like-minded friends. I met a lifelong nudist friend online, who lived 2.5 hours away and had visited many nudist spots. He invited me to one of his favorite skinny dipping places, so I booked a hotel for my first public nudity experience. After arriving, we greeted each other warmly, instantly becoming fast friends. We chatted briefly before heading to the lake. Although we had seen each other naked in photos, this was our first time in person. I was nervous at first, but my friend reassured me, and everything went smoothly.
As we hiked to the lake, signs warned us of encountering nude individuals. Sure enough, around a bend, we saw people of all ages and shapes basking in the sun, some on towels, others in the water or picnicking. I felt I belonged among them, naked and free. With my friend, we found a secluded spot, spread our towels, and undressed. I chuckled nervously, but it was freeing to be exposed outdoors. Everyone around us was equally naked and carefree, embracing the norm of this beach. It was liberating to be part of this uninhibited community.
My friends beaming smile lit up his face, his eyes twinkling with delight as he chuckled heartily and extended a hand to pull me to my feet. Standing before me was my new, nudist friend, his bare body exuding an aura of unashamed confidence, comfortable in its natural state. "See?" he said, gesturing enthusiastically between us with a playful grin. "We look exactly alike naked! There is no need to hide your body. You look great, although maybe you need some sun on your pale skin." His carefree attitude was infectious, and I couldn't help but laugh, feeling a warmth spread through me that had nothing to do with the sun's rays. In that moment, I cast aside all of my insecurities and embraced the exhilarating freedom of being a happy nude person. We shared a mischievous grin, as we silently dared each other to dive into the inviting, shimmering water. Without a moments hesitation, we plunged in, the water embracing us with a refreshing splash as we laughed and swam under the warmth of the sun. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated joy and liberation that etched itself into my memory forever.
My friend and I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon embracing our natural selves. However, as time went by, the all-too-familiar feeling of having to get dressed returnedthe realization that we would soon have to cover up and conceal our true selves. As the day drew to a close, my friend got ready to return home. We exchanged warm goodbyes with a hug and a smile, both aware that we'd have many more opportunities to enjoy time together in the freedom of nudity. I expressed my heartfelt gratitude to him for guiding me on this journey and introducing me to another aspect of the amazing, socially nude community.
The following morning, I rose early, intending to visit my newfound skinny dipping spot before returning home. I first stopped by a convenience store for a quick coffee and breakfast. I retraced the route we had taken the previous day, with one slight alteration. Upon reaching the sign indicating it was permissible to be nude, I undressed and continued on. After locating an ideal spot, I spread out my towel and savored my coffee while watching the sunrise over the lake in my natural state. As others eventually arrived, I felt entirely at ease chatting and mingling with them as though I had frequented the spot for years.
I had been a home nudist since I was 8 years old, but I didn't experience social nudity for the first time until I was 41. I had been trying to talk my wife into going to a nude beach or nudist resort for 20 years, to no avail. Finally after 20 years of asking she responded with "maybe", and that's all it took. I was making reservations the following morning. I had been chatting with one of the members here on TN for a while prior to her saying maybe, so I messaged him to let him know we were coming. We got to the resort in the morning, had planned on camping in our van but they had a room available for the night so we took it. Bill gave us the golf cart tour of the grounds and introduced us to numerous people there. We hit the outdoor pool where we ran into yet another friend I had made online prior to going. We were obviously first timers and I think quite a few folks there could tell, so they struck up conversation and were nothing but friendly and welcoming. Every single person we met was welcoming in fact and showed us exactly why that resort comes so highly recommended. Bill and his lovely lady invited us back to their place for wine with them and a couple other friends who were there that weekend, we chatted and laughed for hours and had a spectacular time. My wife, who had been so hesitant on going to any kind of social nude gathering for 20 years, fell in love with the place within 10mins of getting there. We have been going for over 2.5years now, we have made some great friends and some truly amazing chosen family. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience, not just for me but for my wife as well. It really opened her eyes to nudism and she quickly grew to love it and embrace it. And for that I will always be thankful.
