I get where your coming from. If a friend doesn't know your a nudist and suddenly finds out, you may worry about what they think. Not everyone is ok with it after all. I do think its pretty cool that it all turned out to be ok, and he was fine with this situation.
I was in a similar situation. I enjoy going to Korean spas where it is expected to be naked the whole time you are using the facilities. During one of the visits I went into the sauna and saw a co-worker sitting there naked as the day he was born (of course, so was I). This co-worker usually works out of state so I don't see him all that often. For a while, we both pretended to not recognize each other. Eventually, we dropped the ruse and chatted as we normally would at work. The awkwardness for me was seeing him in a totally different situation.

Baiting an old thread that hasnt had a comment in over two years.[/quoteYou might notice that almost every forum comment made by the person who reopened it involves young males with erections...
Like you I did notice, sadly, hes fooled others into playing along and probably laughing at them for it.

The site owners should pay attention to the fact that someone like this is posting on their discussion boards - he strikes me as very dangerous.

A buddy of mine shared he'd been getting nude while car camping, but he'd never gotten nude with other people let alone another guy. We'd been planning on going backpacking together for over a year and we finally took off last week for a couple of days to coincide with the Solstice. We agreed it would be a great opportunity to get naked at the campsite. I casually stripped down to nothing as we were getting our tents up while he stayed in his underwear. I didn't mention anything. At some point he must have made the decision to pull the trigger and pull his shorts off. We had an awesome time cutting wood for the fire, eating some dinner, having a smoke on our pipes and talking into the night. In the morning, still nude, I encouraged him to take a walk by himself on a nearby trail to commune with nature and feel what that's all about. By the end of the trip we truly bonded and solidified our friendship in a way that wouldn't, and perhaps couldn't, have happened if we hadn't gotten nude together. I felt really proud I could give him the opportunity and the safe space where he could allow himself to experience the freedom only communal nudity - with other men - can give you.
I have had friends who wanted to try nudism with company. Previously it was only solo in their home. I encouraged one of those friends to try being nude at my home, just for a coffee meeting. Interestingly, one guy asked if he could be nude first, before I was. He was nude for half an hour before I was. He felt he could cope with that easier and he said the relief and exhilaration was amazing that he did it.
I have a group of nudist friends. Some of us are always nude, some of us are nude only at the beach, some are only nude in the bedroom. We don't force or coerce anyone to do something they don't want to do. Being comfortable with the situation is part of the solution.
