How do I start?

If you haven't practiced naturism before, you probably have lots of questions. First of all, we suggest reading our Naturist FAQ and seek for some answers. More useful information can be found at sites listed at Link page. Besides, if you're not one of those people who'll go on the first nude beach and take it all off right now, here are some practical steps towards naturism. And another thing: if the idea of naturism is appealing, but you keep thinking 'that's not for me, how can they do that, I could never..', be aware there are so many others that used to think the same way, but now they are naturism evangelists.

Get informed. Know what is this really about - there are many sites on this subject. Read naturist stories, how they started, that'll give you inside info. If you want, go to local naturist society and talk to somebody about all that's on your mind.

Fell comfortable in your own skin. The most important step is accepting yourself. Take it all off, be nude in your home. Spend the hole day like that. Do same things what you do when dressed. Get out on your balcony or terrace but use discretion. Open your windows, fell some fresh air. Large number of naturists are so called home naturists, meaning they practice naturism in their privacy. Become one of them.

Get used to presence of others. There are many semi-public places where nudity is tolerated for some time - saunas, swimming pools, dressing rooms. Don't be ashamed to take a shower or undress in front of somebody. Act natural, like everybody else.

Visit nude beaches, clubs and other places/events where naturism is understandable. It's what this site is about. Maybe you'll seek some out-of-sight places in the beginning, but you'll get used to it with time. Once you feel the freedom of body and soul, you'll never want to get back.
