RE:Men with partners who arent nudists

It may be that you need to accept a compromise of having her accompany you to the naturist beach/area without the need for her to strip, if she doesn't feel comfortable. Let's be honest, there are almost always people at most naturist places that will have more than a quick glance, indeed there will often be some that are unsubtle voyeurs. That is fine if you are genuinely comfortable being naked and being seen naked, but very uncomfortable if you are self-conscious about being naked in public.

RE:Men with partners who arent nudists

Had a housemate (who is straight) at one point who was afraid of being seen without clothing. The only time he would be nude was when he wanted to be shaved clean, Anytime I was (am) home I'm nude. He would drop the long gym shorts and remove the shirt and ask me to shave him from neck to his feet, he would be embarrassed for asking me to do this, but his budget didn't allow for professional services. I said well pay me, by shaving me. I shaved him and when I got to the area below the waist and had to manipulate his equipment he got rock hard and very red in the face and started tearing up, I finished shaving his body and said my turn for you to shave me. He was reluctant at first, but he did it. While he was shaving me I gave him instructions on how to shave a man's equipment, since he was being rough with it. After finishing I too was hard, I said you don't have to worry - it's not a gay thing - it's a stimulation thing. We continued the shaving ritual, and he would comment when he thought I needed a shave. He did start to relax on the clothing as time progressed, but never totally nude with me until his girlfriend started spending the weekend and she didn't wear much clothing. I did resign to shorts in the beginning when she stayed at the house, since I didn't want to cause issues. In the morning I would slip on a pair of shorts to have coffee since they were still in bed and I did not want to shock her. She surprised me, coming to the kitchen completely nude and getting a cup of coffee. He came out later in his shorts and shirt. This continued every time she was staying. She and I tried to convince him it is OK to be nude in front of each other. Never did get him comfortable with it while living with me,

I'm a gay nudist, married to a non-nudist. He does enjoy swimming nude but he's definitely not a nudist. I'm always naked at home and he doesn't mind. He also supports me in my nudist activities. I started the oldest gay nudist club here in Louisville (we have 2). I also started a men's nude yoga class 4 years ago and he's good with that, too. He doesn't mind me going to nude camps, parties, clubs, etc. I'm very lucky because I've seen too many guys have to stop any nudist activity because their new partner didn't like them being naked with other men.

RE:Men with partners who arent nudists

I had pretty much the same experience with a straight buddy roommate many years ago. This guy asked to share an apartment, a win for
both of us to save money, and he knew I am a nudist, as he would pop over at my place and saw me nude. Once we moved in together, it
was me nude and him clothed. Once in a while he would walk around in his underwear and rare without a shirt as he was very self
conscious of how hairy his body is. He started to date this woman, it didn't last long when she saw how very hairy he is without clothes and
broke it off. I told him I have clippers and razors and could trim and shave him in the shower. His face looked terrified , and I asked
what the problem was? He said, he wasn't comfortable having another man see his junk. I remember saying, we all have cocks and balls,
its just a body. Maybe two weeks later he said please help me. We both stripped, and I took clippers from his knees up to his
neck front and back. His pubes were so big and dense, I could only see the head of his dick. As I started to clipper his pubes,
he was rock hard, and kept saying "I can't believe this is happening". I told him, it's natural it doesn't mean anything to have an erection.
After all was done, rinsed off, I saw a happy guy. Took a few days, but after that, he would walk around nude.

Were you nude for the full mutual shave?
Did you have your morning coffee nude after she came out nude?

Yes, I was nude already, it's my home and I let him know that on rare occasions i would be clothed in the house. Typically only when someone new was coming over and was not aware of my comfort level with being nude.
All subsequent visits nudity prevailed for she and I. He just didn't feel comfortable be nude, but enjoyed our nudity based upon the bulge in his shorts

I would have thought that he would have been more self conscious without the hair to obscure parts of his body.

Someone on another board mentioned that when his male partner was ready to move in with him, they made an agreement that neither of them would wear anything at home unless they had company that was not accepting of nudity, They had a vacation home that was a small cottage deep in the woods and when they went there, they had just one set of clothing each with them and locked it in the car for the week.
