Return to DiscussionsHi everyone,Could I get some advice/ideas on how i could get my son (21) & his girlfriend (18) to join me being nude at home, I've spoken to them both & get the feeling that it could be confidence possibly body issue, how can I build them up to take the plunge? Thanks for your time

At 21 and 18 people are sensitive about body image. They may be reluctant to strip because they don't match up to the pin-ups in the popular magazines. Start by getting them used to seeing yourself naked around them. Show them that nudity is something natural by going about your daily life as you would if you were clothed. Maybe you can show them photos of other nudists - in nudist magazines or on the net - to show we come in all shapes, sizes and ages.

They see me nude 24/7 365 we have sat down with them and explained the situation, it's been almost 16 months since that talk, we have not put pressure on them at all either, the closest they came was the son in his underwear and his girlfriend in underwear and singlet, so in a way they have tried, I may suggest an underwear party, but how would I then say it's ok to take it all off?
If they are new to it I think you should suggest some place for them to try it alone. Or possibly with people they don't know but in a safe controlled place. Some find it much easier when they don't know those they are with. This might get them to loser up enough to enjoy it. Then the sky is the limit and joining you should come easy!
I'll ask them to our local nude beach which to get to involves off road driving which he loves, then send them off to their own part of the beach to work on their tans which she loves to do, maybe they'll get to do it there and see how it turns out? Thanks
gift them sheer or lace undies which covers less shows more, and ask them to wear whose at home to overcome their inhibition.
Sounds like a good idea I'll give it a go, we're talk them again about on Monday to see if they're willing to try it out with us, cheers
If you are nude around them all of the time then you are probably doing most of what you can to convince them already. How you act around them while nude will do more than trying to push them into being nude, IMHO. I think going to the nude beach is a good idea though, as long as they can go off by themselves and see people other than you nude, having a good time, they might give it a try.
I would say don't push it. It is a good start that they know you are a nudist but once you have made the offer all you can do is wait for them to accept. They aren't just potentially worried about body image. At that age independence is their primary driving force and if they are going to join you it has to be on their terms.
