r/nudism

Hey everyone I haven’t posted in a bit but I’ve been practicing nudism for over a year now I guess! I’m an incredibly clumsy person so funny things have happened and I like to post about it on here since I don’t have any nudist friends. So I hope you enjoy my most recent story.

Yesterday was garbage day at my house and I actually slept nude the night before(I don’t do it every night). I woke up that morning, walked into my kitchen to a note from the people I live with telling me to take out the trash before 8 am because they always come around 8am (it was 7:55) so, with out thinking, I I rushed out of the house to put the garbage out. I brought the cans to the end of the driveway when I saw a car coming the other way. I gave them a wave as they passed! Then I looked down and remembered I was still completely utterly naked and I had just flashed some poor person. So I just walked back In also realizing this was the first time I’d been “caught” being a nudist. Thankfully it wasn’t one of my neighbors but I felt so embarrassed!! Ok that’s pretty much it I hope everyone enjoyed this little story about me being dumb! I feel really bad but I also accidentally played it off well I guess

Me and my girlfriend have both discussed that we would like to live inside a nudist community. Though we do have some concerns that we would like to have answered. For starters we would like to have kids one day and we don’t know what it would be like for them when they start to make friends , and them wanting to come over we would obviously cover up, but that doesn’t take away that they would still have to come through the community and possibly see a naked person. We also are curious how family members have taken the news and how they have came to visit for the first couple of times. Then I guess you have your co-workers/friends but we think that’s easy but would love to hear stories on that. It would be helpful to hear from anyone who grew up in one and their experiences growing with friends wanting to come over that didn’t know and if they had to hear their parents talk to the other parents. Please also feel free to comment any stories that might relate or any funny ones thank you

I'm 26M, and I've always been somewhat shy, I was quiet all throughout school and I have a few friends that I'm close with. Recently, I've been going to the gym way more, typically I just lift the weights and play basketball. There was always a pool at my gym, but never used it. Last week it hit over 90 degrees Fahrenheit where I live and decided "why not?" So I decided to use the pool. Of course, I had to change in the locker room into my bathing suit and instead of trying to hide my body, I decided to just strip down in the nude and go about my business and after I finished swimming, I once again stripped completely naked and tried off with a towel, even though there were people standing near me and walking by. I don't know why, but it felt freeing to just not care about someone seeing my naked. Afterwards, I've been swimming almost daily the past week and I've been a little more confident. I've initiated conversations with strangers when I would have never spoken up before. I even started attempted a conversation with a girl and engaged in some small talk. I know this sounds small, but for someone like me who's been quiet his whole life and has avoided unnecessary conversation, it's been a real change for me. And I think it started with me getting the guts to just be naked and stop caring about my bodily insecurities

Me 23(m) and my Gf 23 (f) have been into nudism for about 2-3 years now. We have noticed that we never really run into people or couples around our age. We typically go to a clothing optional beach and a resort that’s near us and typically the youngest people we see would be about our parents age we sometimes will see younger. We hope to make friends with a couple one day not to say the older couples aren’t welcoming they usually will chat with us and everything but it would be nice to have people that might be able to relate to us a little more and see how they got into nudism. We are also a bit more shyer than most so we sometimes do feel a little intimidated to try to join in with the older crowd not that they wouldn’t be welcoming it’s more of just that reaching out that gets us nervous. I feel sometimes it’s vice versa that they might be a little scared to approach us not wanting to scare us away.
But just would like to hear if they see gen z or any gen z out there into nudism or any stories.

Hi Folks - The AMA has ended. I will be monitoring this thread periodically for any additional questions. I can be reached at Linda.Weber@aanr.com any questions as well.

I am available for your questions. This is your opportunity to ask questions about nudism, AANR, membership, advocacy efforts, or what I plan to do for my second term as AANR President. I look forward to an open and engaging discussion with you.

Are perceptions about simple public nudity becoming more or less accepting? This is a question more for the U.S., but anywhere else is good too. I ask because I’m curious about the potential efficacy of taking on (imho) overly strict anti-nudity laws, or if such actions would actually backfire and perhaps make things worse. What are your thoughts?

I, absolutely, love being nude around the house! And when the cat decides to snuggle on my lap, clothed or not, it's a special kind of amazing. But, my little guy has a habit of trying to make his kitty biscuits directly on my most sensitive parts. Yeah, the ones between my legs.

I'm not asking for any advice, or anything like that. I would just like to know if I'm the only one that has to deal with this sort of thing. Feel free to share any other fur baby mishaps with being nude.

I’ve noticed that litter, especially plastic, bothers me more now than it used to. I was interested in nature before, but nudism has made me even more attuned to it.

I also feel that my perception is much sharper when I hike naked. It’s a completely different state of mind, so I perceive my surroundings more intensely than when I’m out and about fully clothed.

I just saw something about this but then it was blocked by work internet… what is it

AANR-East sent out an email to their members which contained the AANR-East endorsements for national AANR President and Vice President like a newspaper does.

Has this been done before? I don't recall ever seeing this before and am wondering if other regions have done this as well?

Hi everyone, I’m a journalist writing for Stylist Magazine (UK women’s consumer title) about the relationship between communal nudity and body confidence.

I’m looking to chat to UK based female nudists (across age groups but especially Gen Z / millennial) about the ways in which your body image has been shaped by being part of the community, particularly if you struggled with body image before embracing nudism. Anything shared will be handled sensitively and you can remain anonymous in the feature.

If you’re open to being interviewed please drop me a private message. Thank you.

If this was already asked here before, then my sincerest apologies because it's just that I was considering subscribing to the website British Naturism.

But the problem is that when it comes to nudist culture in the UK, I don't know if I would still able to subscribe to the website since I am from the USA as I was wondering what sites about nudist culture were worth subscribing to again since I come from the USA.

Nobody is on their phone! You are existing with others just talking or being there in the moment. Rather you are reading by a pool or hiking, and not on a constant grind with social media, banking, business, etc

I have only been a few places in my journy with Naturism but very rarely have I been on my phone.

It's actually really nice just soaking in the moment of being human.

Have any of y'all attended world naked bike ride and can you tell about your experience. If you would like to tell your age too it could be cool.

I am a 21 y/o guy from Indiana that is looking into some nudist resorts. I’m mainly looking at nudists resorts because I love the thought of being naked and I also love the idea of having some fun (wink wink). How often is it that people actually hook up at nudist resorts? Or what truly happens at these places. I’m looking at Sunshower and Drakes Ridge in Indiana for some fun times

Younger generations, particularly Gen Z and millennials, are increasingly participating in nudist and naturist activities, challenging traditional demographics. Naturism involves being naked in natural settings like beaches and rivers, while activities include nude sauna sessions, cruises, and charity winter solstice swims across Australia. Participants report experiencing body positivity and empowerment, with community events raising significant funds for charitable causes. - Sunrise- 7Plus
