Telling your friends your a nudist - I need some advice!!
I have been a nudsit for about 17 years, I have been going to a nudist club now for about the last two years.
Iam pretty comfortable with my body & my friends know this... most of them have seen me naked, but I have never toldanyone that I am a nudist. My Girlfriend (Who is not a nudist) thinks that maybe I should tell them, becasue she thinks theymay have some admiration/ respect/ understanding for my self confidence & the philosophy as to why I am a nudist,but I am worried about what they may think & their perceptions of nudism. Now I know that I probably shouldn't care.. but after all they are my friends & they are important to me!
What have your experiences been like? & what should I do?
I really don't know!!
Tell them! You're worrying about nothing! My friends had one of two reactions when I told them I was a member of a nudist resort. 1. "Really? I could never do that! You're braver than I am!" 2. "Really? That sounds awesome! I've always wanted to try that!"
My friends all know. The people who know me, unless they've lived under a rock or in a coma for the past 10 years, know I'm a nudist. New co-workers or religious congregation acquaintainces...I wait till they know me a bit and then I tell them I'm a skinnydippper, one of the reasons I live in the middle of nowhwere.
I can offer you a possible cop out. Tell the friends that some friends went down to local nude beach and had a get together and that you went along. Then say you enjoyed it so much that you went back a few times and now regularly enjoy nudism. Just a thought.
Well.. I must say, you guys have made me feel a whole lot better about the thought of telling my friends.
I suppose I am just nervous. I have no problems with answering questions about my choice.... I did that when I told my Girlfriend, so this shouldn't be any different should it!!
Thanks guys!!
Mark, I think we all know our own friends and for mine, those who would not be offended, well they all know. I got over it long ago and new friends, if they would be offended then I keep it to myself. If they find out from others then they can 'look the other way'. And sorry but I dont make friends who would be easily offended by the idea - but a few aquaintances are shocked!
My husband and I were faced with the same issue, I mean how do you bring up the topic without sounding like you are looking for approval or whatever? We found a rather easy way, we are members of FCN (Federation Of Canadian Naturists) we recieve a quarterly magazine, and instead of leaving them on the shelf, we left a few copies on the the coffee table.
When our friends visited and noticed the magazines it became a topic to talk about, without us having to bring it up. Although they were not interested in trying the lifestyle, they also were not put out by us being nudists. They still ask once in a while about it, who knows they may come around yet.
last feb. i posted a pic of the terra cotta inn pool area...early morning photo, no one was up yet but me....on my facebook page and my sister replied, thats beautiful, where are you. i posted the location and said google it. three people replied......thats been on our bucket list for years.
