I was raised by very old school conservative parents. You didn’t talk about sex or bodily functions beyond basics, and no sex before marriage. That also meant you keep your body covered. It was always considered indecent to show it and you shouldn't look at other people's bodies. I've found that this creates not only a certain discomfort regarding our bodies, but a generally unhealthy preoccupation with nudity and sex as a whole.

I've always had a strong desire to see as much nudity as possible, probably because it was always so taboo and "not proper" and it has always made me feel borderline creepy or that there's something wrong with me. Spending more time naked at home and venturing out to more public nude spaces is helping to normalize naked bodies for me, and I am already starting to feel less voyeuristic when around nudity. I don't know that I will ever be completely free of that voyeuristic tendency, but I belive being in those spaces where nudity is no big deal to anyone is having a positive effect on my overall mindset. Im already finding myself being more ambivalent around naked people, which is good because I don't like feeling like im being creepy when I sometimes can't seem to help but look.

So sorry if such a topic like this was done here before because I am a fellow who enjoys doing exercise such as long distance runs.

But the thing is that I have never experienced exercising in the nude as I was wondering how hard it would be to join a nudist club who likes to exercise in the buff as I was interested in finding a club.

I just decided to start being a full time nudist here recently, and I’m having a great time so far! I currently just lounge around my house nude and don’t get dressed until I absolutely have to. It has been so freeing and relaxing. I’ve had many conversations with my wife and she is totally fine with it, but doesn’t think it is for her. However, I’m going to experiencing nudism to the fullest! I hope one day she would like to join me. I am so happy to have made this decision in my life!

I live in London and this summer we had crazy heatwaves where we really found nudism and it became almost full time, and of course I'm absolutely loving it and don't want to stop. However it's definitely starting to get colder here now so I'm wanting to put clothes on for warmth, but stay naked for comfort, how do you guys manage that?

I'm planning a short trip to Crete in September. Any suggestions for beaches worth going to- preferably in the north.

Thanks.

A resort has recently started offering monthly events to boost activity/membership. What does a lifestyle event mean to most naturists? Is this a dog whistle?

Lovely early evening shore line walk on this beautiful live and let live island.

47 M here. Been an at home nudist for a number of years, but always wanted to get outside. I finally took the drive out to the ledges in VT (since there's really nowhere around here) and got naked outside! I'm instantly hooked. It's the ultimate recharge to just be in nature. Can't wait to go back!
