Being naked isn’t inherently erotic for nudists. They get used to seeing a nude body without thinking sexual thoughts. Also, you shouldn’t think that you have to have a perfect body or to look super sexy to be a nudist. Nudists have bodies of all shapes and sizes. Though it may take some convincing to show your friends and family members that getting naked doesn’t have to mean getting frisky, this is the lifestyle that many people choose. There are, however, some sects of nudism that are more sexual in nature. Make sure you do your research into the nudists in your particular community to see which lifestyle fits your needs.
Think of how complicated our lives have become. Having to choose clothes, jewelry, footwear, and so many other items only makes it harder to be our natural selves.
Committing to being a nudist doesn’t mean throwing out all of your clothes. It means embracing the opportunity to be nude when you can.
Have an honest and frank conversation with the people you live with to gauge their reactions. Of course, it’s important for you to practice your beliefs, but you don’t want to infringe on the freedoms of others, either.
If they don’t want to join you, there’s no sense in pushing it. Nudism is something that people should only do if they are really comfortable with it.
You should also keep a bathrobe handy just in case, if the doorbell rings unexpectedly. You don’t want to give a delivery man or neighbor the wrong impression. If you really want to practice nudism in your yard, you might be able to put a fence around the yard to keep neighbours and other passers-by from seeing you. However, this is probably a feasible option only if you live on a street with one-story houses. You might be able to plant trees or tall bushes around your yard, as well as putting up a fence, if you live in a two-story house.
Of course, you should still shower, wash your hands, and keep things hygienic, whether you’re in the buff or not. It’s important to stay clean and fresh, whether you’re clothed or not.
If you do live with roommates and don’t want to startle any other people if you take a bathroom trip in the middle of the night, you should hang a bathrobe on your door so you can quickly throw it on if need be.
Of course, if you’re too young to go out on your own just yet, you may have to wait until you feel responsible enough to go out on your own or just to relocate.
If your children are nude during bath time, don’t make it a big deal that they’re not wearing clothes. You can even encourage your kids to spend more time in the nude, if they are comfortable doing so after play time. Of course, once you start doing this, you have to make it clear that this is what your dynamics will be like, but not what the outside world expects. Let your kids see that being nude at home is acceptable while it may not be in the world at large.
Just maintaining a positive environment in your household can go a long way in encoring your family members to be in the buff. Though healthy criticism is a good thing, you should focus on being more positive than negative and to encourage your family members to grow spiritually and creatively.
If you and your family members are all sitting around nude at the dinner table, treat it as a totally normal thing instead of saying how nice it is that you’re all nude together. If something is natural, then there’s no need to call attention to it.
Joining the community will also make you feel less isolated about your beliefs and will help you meet more like-minded people. Though most nudists are focused on being free and communing with nature, there are some communities that encourage nudism for sexual reasons. If this is not for you, be very careful in your research. Don’t trust unofficial websites.
If you practice nudism with your family, make sure that family members of all ages are welcome in the nudist beach or resort area.
You can check out ordinary vacation websites and search for “nudist spa vacations” to find a resort that is perfect for you, or you can use specialty websites that can help you find the perfect nudist destination. Some people are opposed to practicing nudism in public in a place near their home because they’re afraid of running into someone they know. If you’re hundreds of miles from home, this worry will melt away!
Just make sure that you don’t break any legal rules in your country or state. Though it’s not illegal to be nude in a public place, practicing nudism is illegal in states such as Arkansas or countries like Iran.
