Your first nudist event
I'd love to hear about your experiences getting into social nudism. How did you find your first event? What was it like? Was everyone welcoming?
I'm yet to try nudism outside of my own home but I really want to push myself to try it in 2025. Hoping I can find some events with at least some poeple around my age too (please let me know if you know of any in the UK!)
I don't think I'd call it an event, I just went to the beach, but well before that when I was a small boy I'd walk along the river naked, not too sure if it was sexual or not, but I liked to feel the sun on my naked skin.
Many years later I use to go to the beach quite a lot so use to seeing naked people, but I suppose my first the naked bike ride was a big eye opener
here I was in the center of a city totally naked and nowhere to hide with hundreds of clothed people shouting and waving at us, I forgot I was naked and just enjoyed the atmosphere which was electic.
Later I went to the Canaries for two weeks in a naked holiday villa the staff were clothed, but everybody was naked from the time they woke up to bed time, had a nice time good job we had a pool as it was very windy and going to the beach was like getting sand blasted, I kid you not.
I suppose now at 74, being naked on a beach or in a group is so natural now I don't think anything of it.
My first venture into social nudism was in 2009 for the AANR/Guinness World Record Skinny Dip. I went to the Turtle Lake Naturist Resort in my state. I was very nervous about it and almost drove on by to go home, but I am so glad I didn't. After my initial trepidation, it was an incredibly relaxing day. It came to an end much too soon and I was reluctant to put clothes back on for the drive home.
My first nude social event was a visit to the old swimming hole for Tallahassee Naturally 10+ years ago. I think they called it 'Skinny Dip Lake'. It was located just north of I-10 south of Monticello, FL and just east of US19. It was actually a dirt dig for a overpass on I-10 but was back in the woods, clear, spring fed water and available. I had called the Tally Naturally for a Saturday visit and told to come on down. When I arrived, and parked there was no one to be found for several minutes. I knew that it was the place as it had their "TN" sign at the entrance. I stripped there beside the car & went looking for nude folks. As it turned out, there were about 4-5 folks around the swimming hole, all nude and 4 out of 5 very friendly. They were all conversational and pleasant and it turned out to be the first of many visits. I must admit, though, walking around the back woods, stark naked, was indeed an adjustment! It turned out that all was well and I really enjoyed it.
