How many of your peers have you told that you are a nudist?
Quite a few of our friends and relatives know. Even my wifes mom knows. Even more know we let people swim in our private pool nude and join them. Including one of my co workers I graduated high school with. She I think with a little coaxing would try it but I won't push I just offer the pool. No one seems to really care and I think most are a little jealous.
I do feel really bad for the younger generations. When we were growing up in the late 60's and early 70's nudity was no big deal. Getting naked didn't mean you had to automatically have sex. Skinny dipping in the creek or a private pond or pool was just fun.
I would love to shout from the rooftop that I am a nudist and proud of it. I believe we do need to educate people about the true nature of naturism. There are still a lot of strange ideas about we do at those...colonies. lol However, as an earlier post stated I am not in a position professionally where I can be the vocal supporter I would like to be. That being said here's one for you all: I'm a nudist and proud of it!!! (say really loud) cn
If people in this area don't know, they've either been in a coma or living under a rock. I have appeared on a couple of TV shows (local) as well as in a university magazine and various newspapers and regularly on radio.
New people in my life learn shortly after I feel they learn who I am .
I only have told6 of my closest friends. They wanted to know where I went all the time in the summer alone. So I told them I went to Mazo Beach and a resort here in Wisconsin. A couple of the girls said they would go with me to the beach, but I'm still waiting haha.
