Memorable nude interaction?
Return to DiscussionsPlease share a memorable nude interaction you have had.
Here are a couple from my memory bank.
I was a young teen away at church camp for a week. The showers were communal as was the sink area. Even at the age i was intrigued by nudity and was sleeping naked secretly by slipping off my shorts once under the cover. The counselors used the same bathroom facilities as us campers and one guy probably in his early 20s showered then came out dripping wet. He then stood by the sink and shaved. Never putting anything on. not even a towel over his neck. I remember thinking " I wish i was that bold"
A few years later as a non sports playing senior in high school, after an away basketball game, I went into the visitors locker room to find out where the afterparty was at. One of my classmates , the star of the team, came over completely nude and stood there giving me directions. He too was so casual about his lack of clothing . It has been 45 years and he and I are still friends. We had lunch just last week. I have never brought up that I still remember his nude directions. He would probably think it weird that i do
What are some of your memorable nude encounters?
When I was a kid my buddy had a pool and most after noons in the summer we would stop our bike riding and go to his house and cool off, none of us had suites with us and his mom would let us swim nude .his mom would always give us drinks and food , we wouldn't get dressed till we left to go riding again
I work at a spa and am the only employee on duty. After hours I clean the facility nude (why get my clothes dirty) . A female friend of mine who knows I'm a nudist has come in twice now just at closing. I tidy up while she waits in the lounge and I clean around her. I think she appreciates it :).
Anyone else like to come in late for a session :) ?
One non-sexual fond memory I have was when I was camping alone one time. I ran into a woman. She was older but seemed nice and we chatted for a bit. Then she said she wanted to go swimming. I told her I didn't want to get my clothes wet and would it be OK if I took them off.
She said she didn't mind, so I took my clothes off and went swimming nude while she had a bathing suit. We swam across a little pond and then she wanted to hike up a hill. I left my clothes back at the other side so I also had to hike naked. Then went hiked to the top and hung out there for a while. Her clothed and me naked.
She was really cool and didn't mind that I was naked. Which is awesome because women are usually defensive around naked men, especially when out in the woods.

I went to church camp the summer after the 6th grade. There were campsites scattered across the area with one large bathhouse in the middle. Our college age counselor made it clear that he was not having stinky kids in his camp. So we all had to shower daily. When we got the bathhouse the first night nearly every camper was there. Boys from 4th grade through high school along with college counselors. The main room had urinals along one wall, sinks on another wall, and toilets on another (no stalls). The showers were through another door that were communal with no roof. We also swam in a lake naked as well.
Growing up, I wasn't raised in a strictly conservative or repressive environment when it came to nudity. However, around the time of puberty, I started experiencing moments of feeling self-conscious and having body issues that are common at that age. But even back then, I knew I felt comfortable nude on my own. Looking back, I can see that these moments played a positive role in shaping my attitude towards nudity.
I don't believe there was anything particularly noteworthy about them, aside from the fact that no one was shocked or disturbed by their nudity. In fact, it seemed to be a completely normal occurrence - "normalized nudity," if you will.
1) In high school, after gym class when we only briefly saw each other in our underwear and no one showered, a classmate boldly stripped down completely nude and sat on the changing benches. He declared that he was too exhausted to bother getting dressed. I remember being impressed by how confident and carefree he seemed, while the rest of us were fussing over our clothes. However, he did eventually get dressed before the bell rang, but I still thought it was wild and cool.
2) After spending the entire day outside in the sweltering heat of a summer Saturday, my dad decided to take a shower and forego clothing for the rest of the evening and into the next morning. Our home was located in an incredibly humid region, so perhaps it was his way of staying cool. My mom and I continued with our usual routine, fully dressed. It wasn't particularly surprising, as we were not raised in a prudish household. However, looking back on that moment, I can't help but wonder if my dad too had a desire for nudism. That fleeting experience of embracing his natural state has stayed with me, causing me to question if my dad also has a nudist streak within him.
3) During my time in college, I took a job at a seasonal resort that offered dormitory-style housing for its employees. The communal bathroom was a huge space, with rows of sinks, urinals, and stall toilets lining the walls. But it was the shower area that truly caught my attention - a large, open room lined with at least 40 individual shower heads. The first time I took a shower that summer, I couldn't help but feel like I had stumbled into some sort of nudist colony. It was an unexpected and eye-opening experience to see so many men casually going about their morning routine in the nude. I truly felt bonded with other men in that experience.
