RE: when did u first discover you were a nudist

I have always felt great unclothed. Natural.My first deliberate time being naked was as a child in the hot humid Toronto summers. It was just too hot and sticky to have pjs on. Noblankets but one sheet on top covering me.I shared the bedroom with my older brother. I noticed early on he only wore pj bottoms year round. Being the little brother copied him once winter came. After he left home I was able to sleep naked in the summer without the sheets covering me. And the winter under covers. But I didn't think of myself as a nudist. In 1967 while staying with my aunt and uncle I did my first nude forest walk beside the stream running by their house. I continued having nude times out doors and when alone at home. Still there was no notion I was a nudist. Four years ago I was searching the web and thought to change what I was looking for to nudists. I read over several naturalist web sites info and there were references to TN. I looked TN up and started reading discussions and realized all along I had been a nudist. Thus even though I've acted like a nudist most my life I only became aware I was 4 years ago. Aware enough to accept the title of naturalist or nudist.

I was 7 been nudist ever since how bout you
I believe it was the summer of 1991. I must have been had evolving nudist tendencies in me for years. I read an article in the Sunday L.A. Times about the Terra Cotta Inn and suggested it to wifey. She was hesitant fearing a possible sex group, but went along. We miraculously booked 4 days in the middle of August their busiest time when we went to Palm Springs for a Christian book conference. We walked in to register and I looked over by the pool. HOLY SMOKES! There were really naked people all over. Took us about 20 seconds to become comfortable and we had a fantastic 4 days there.
That was pretty much our starting gun. It evolved into nudist camping at the now defunct Mystic Oaks and currently at Glen Eden. We have gone to the clothing optional beach and try to stay nekkid at home as much as we can.

Not until I was about 18/19, when I began living by myself and realised I actually could be without being disturbed. It was strictly at-home, as I was far too shy to go to a club. When my ex moved in in 2007 I had to stop because she didn't like it, but when she'd been moved out for a few months (2011) I thought "What's stopping me now?". Still took me 5 years to get myself public though!

I was at my local nudist resort and a lady I met asked me "So, how long have you been a nudist?"
I had never considered myself a nudist before, the question kinda took me by surprise.
I'd been a nudist for several years before, but the realization didn't come till someone pointed it out :-)

for me its was several years before I knew of the word - saw it in an article [pre -web], looked down & though 'yep, that's me!'

I wouldn't say it was a 'discovery' so much as a journey that had obstacles along the way, distractions and detours. The joureny is still ongoing.

I was a truck driver and had to take public showers, kinda shy at first but the suddenly realized how much I enjoyedbeing naked and talkingwith the others waiting on showers, taking them and drying off, and how relaxing it was just standing around and talking with the other guys. Once I did go to a resort, I did not want to put my clothes back on, I would say that once you get comfortable with it you look back and realize that the hardest part of it is having to get dressed to leave.

I guess it was since I first discovered how wonderful it felt to be naked outdoors. Then I started sleeping naked and it's been a love affair ever since.
