I was actually surprised by how differently people reacted in my life.

When I told my family, the only question anyone really had was whether it was safe. That was it. I had prepared myself for a lot of awkward questions and judgment, but they were incredibly accepting.

On the other hand, I had a friend who immediately made assumptions about my character simply because I was a naturist. She cut me out of her life because of it. It was a good reminder that some people understand naturism as a philosophy and community, while others only see it through stereotypes and misinformation.

Have you ever been surprised by a friend or family member's reaction—either positively or negatively?

Has anyone visited this beach. It’s reportedly a clothing optional one. I’m wondering if this is by the hotel of the same name. Thanks.

hey any fellow doctor?

i never wear undwerwear under my scrubs and attends nudist beach - afraid to find patients ... am i the only one?

Hey Ich bin M17,

und gerade auf einer Klassenfahrt und es ist so heiß, ich bin mit drei anderen Jungs im Zimmer. Deswegen die Frage kann ich einfach ohne Unterhose also nackt schlafen oder sagt ihr ist nicht okay?(Also mir ist es ziemlich egal ob die mich nackt sehen, aber sind sehr geschämig und will ja auch nicht dass es weird ist, weil niemand glaubt mir wahrscheinlich dass meine Unterhose einfach runtergerutscht ist oder?)Fände es halt viel angenehmer ohne. Soll ich sie fragen (bzw. es ist eh die letzte Nacht und halt schon spät aber irgendwie trotzdem fragen ob es schlimm ist ??)

Interested because it feels like everyone I talk to and meet are swingers. I understand nudism is very freeing and can be liberating but does it really go that hand in hand with swinging?

Hello, I'd like to hear how you got started in nudism? And what are your best experiences?

I feel like since the human body is such a beautiful design, we should do our best to treat it well. Eat healthy, drop the junk food, workout, and get into the best shape we can—whatever our natural build is.

Life is short, so why not live the healthiest, best version of it? I see nudism as a way to celebrate the body, but also a motivator to keep it healthy and fit. What are your thoughts? Do you think the community can or should motivate each other toward a healthier lifestyle? Much love to all.

I guess more importantly, how did you start? Is it ok to start in my room?

Mine is:

Up when the dog needs outside. Breakfast, email, a little surfing while I catch up on the news with my coffee. By mid morning it's time to tend to my flower beds, weeding, watering, etc. or tend to things in the house such as laundry (which isn't often), dishes, general cleaning, and shower time. After which I go to my shop and continue any project I may have going on. That takes me to lunch. Mail has run by then so it's out to the mailbox. Then I go to my shop and tend to that project. By late afternoon I tire of the extraneous workload and head in for a nap. An hour later I watch the news again followed by dinner prep with the spouse. Serve it, eat it, clean up after. Internet surf, watch a ball game, or a movie. Sometimes we binge watch a series. Finally it's off for bed only to start the routine over again the next day. All the while i haven't put a stitch of clothing on. This may go on for several days in a row before dressing is required.

Hey guys, so this is gonna be my first time skinny dipping and I was wondering if anyone has experienced this type of experience before or similarly. The reason why I ask is because I’ll be traveling and staying at the rural secluded village where my mom grew up in with my mom and little brother while staying at my grandpa’s house next week for two weeks. The village is small, rural, and secluded, with less than 300 people or much lesser than that. I want to skinny dip alone at the nearby scenic lake to enjoy this wonderful breathtaking experience of secluded scenic peaceful nature. The only time for me to do that is late at night. Walking from my Grandpa’s house to the lake is 1 hour and 30 minutes and another 1 hour and 30 minutes back.

Plus, I love walking and hiking. I plan to walk on the driest night with minimal clouds and no rain. Plus I also plan to bring things with me in my backpack during the walk to the lake, like a flashlight to control the brightness, a bright underwater flashlight, a filled water bottle, a fully charged portable charger, 3 towels, and of course for my phone to be at 100% battery when I begin walking. I plan to leave the house at 12:00 AM while everyone is asleep to get there at 1:30 AM, to enjoy the lake for two hours and leave there at 3:45 AM, to get back to the house at 5:15 AM, right before sunrise, before anyone wakes up, so no one would know I was gone. How would all of this sound and be like? Can you guys please give me your best advice, help, and tips on all of this? Thanks

Hey Nudist People in India, lets do a meetup. Some good beach with private house . Perhaps some place in South India

What happened to the MakeNudityLegal subreddit? I used to post there a lot, and now I get a message that it has been banned from Reddit.

Hi, is it normal in the community to have a discussion with your kids about nudism and ask them if they are okay with seeing you nude/ being nude themselves? or do you just rise your kids with it as the norm?

my father was abusive in a lot of different ways but also a nudist and im struggling to parse which of his behaviours were messed up and which could be excused as him being a nudist and I should respect his lifestyle.

I know that forcing me to participate despite my wishes was wrong but do i have the right to resent him for "exposing" himself to me daily if it was just a harmless lifestyle choice of his?

when you are walking around naked around your children, how close do you get to them? do you ever cuddle or sleep in the same bed while nude?

would any of you start undressing and changing clothes in your adult childrens house without asking first?

I'm trying to see whats normal in the community and what was inappropriate for him to do because i have no point of comparison really and it's eating at me...

Lately i’ve been reading about nude beaches, I’m getting interest in going to a nude beach, please give me some suggestions, how to ask my wife to go with me or it is a bad idea. She is not into nudism. Please suggest some good things 😄

Hello, I hope you’re all well.

I am probably going to ask a question that has been asked 100 times but I’d really appreciate any help I can get here. I have been into private naturism for a while and it is now near enough standard that I’m naked at home all the time. I’d like to push my boundaries a bit further and try it publicly, however I live in London so it is a big pain to go to the beach.

We have some naturist clubs local, but I feel very awkward as someone who would be a first timer and that awkwardness is increased by the fact I’m a solo 21 year old man.

If there’s anyone that can give me some words of advice, or potentially someone local that can give much more personalised advice, it would be very greatly appreciated.

I hope you all have a great day and thanks in advance to anyone that helps!

Hi, I wanted to talk about my first family nudism experience. I’ll go over the beginning, so I wanted to surprise my uncle and aunt by showing up at their place. I always go through their back door since it’s usually open evenings and someone is there. I walked to their little yard and saw through the window my cousin was openly naked in the living room. I walked in and saw her, and she greeted me acting like it wasn’t weird that she was nude. I greeted aunt and uncle who were nude and they explained to me what was happening. Their neighbor came over and I was the only one who was clothed, but I gave in and had my first experience. I wanna talk about that if anyone is willing to do so
