My first nudist experience was as a kid while camping. I remember wanting to do this a few times, but one morning I got up early before everyone else and walked to a private spot in the woods and got naked and stayed that way for about 15 minutes before I lost my nerve and got dressed. I loved that experience and from that day I was hooked and got nude out in the woods every chance I could get.
My first public nudist experience was as a young servicemember in Germany in the early 80's when I went to a local indoor swimming pool. My entrance fee included the sauna and after swimming I went to the sanua to relax. Upon entering the sauna, I saw a couple of old men naked and thought nothing of it. I quickly saw everyone was nude so I quickly joined in. After a couple of minutes two women walked in (nude of course) and at first I was shocked, but after seing how relaxed they were and one sat right next to me without a care in the world, this seemed so normal and natural to me. Of course, I went back several times.
My introduction to the internet in the mid 90's opened my eyes to a vast world of nudism that I never knew existed. After browsing and reading many nudist websites, I became inspired and soon realized that this is the lifestyle is for me. I soon made a trip to Haulover Beach as my first "new" nudist experience. It was a beautiful three days and it confirmed my choice in nudism as my adopted lifestyle. I never looked back.
Since then I began going to nude beaches, hot springs, and nudist resorts when I could. I also seek private spots outdoors where I can get naked as I have moved around and my travels for work have taken me. Nude hiking is probably my favorite activity. Nude swimming is a close second. I also spend much of my time at home nude as well. |
