When I met my husband he was a true nudist-running around the house with no clothes on and anywhere else that he could.

It kind of made me think why he was doing that as I was a business dressed lady at all times.
Then he explained to me he had found a chat room on AOL for nudists and would help me to realize that I need to relax a little and get some stress out of my busy scheduled life.
So we met a couple from the Nudist chat room that lived near by in a restaurant and talked for hours.
They showed us all kinds of information on places near by of what they had to offer and to see it wasn’t for “SWINGERS” it was actually for families and people of all sizes and shapes and colors as well as back grounds.

We met the couple another time at a get together at their apartment with others and found they were the most laid back-down to earth people I had ever met.
Then we started going to a place nears by called Empire Haven as day people since my husband worked
swing shift at a factory and I worked all the time.

We started camping in a tent a couple nights and the people at the camp was so awesome! Came over and talked to us on their walk by that if we needed a spatula or water or anything to come to their place as they were right behind us.

The people at Empire Haven in New York are the best friends now that we ever had-they are our family.
That was about 20 years ago.
Now we are full time members at Empire Haven and have been to several other resorts areond the USA as well as Nude Cruises with Bare Necessities-that is always a great time!

A friend invited me to attend a nudist house party. I did not know the hosts so I was nervous about going. I arrived fashionably late and my friend arrived far, far later. After removing my clothing in the master bedroom, I made my way to the kitchen where most of the guests had congregated. As I introduced myself to folks, I noticed a very handsome, muscular, bald man on the far side of the room who was dressed and saying his goodbye’s to the hosts. Our eyes connected but by the time I made my way to the hosts, he had hurried on his way.

Fast forward 9 months later at another nudist house party by the same hosts. I arrived on time hoping I’d see and get to speak with the bald man. As luck would have it, he was seated in the hot tub with several other guests. Our eyes met again and he returned a wonderfully, warm smile, and silent hello. Eaves dropping on the conversation, I discovered that he and the other hot tubbers wanted to have a competition to see how many folks could sit in the jacuzzi and measure how much water would be displaced afterward. (Slightly inebriated nerds? Yes!) I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to chat with him again and realized I could miss out if a ton of folks jumped in. Thinking quickly, boldly, and quite brazenly, I sat down not next to him but right down on his lap. To this day I still can’t believe that I did that – and to a complete stranger, too! Needless to say I got his attention. I have no idea if the water displacement challenge even happened because we started chatting, getting to know one another, and noting and laughing at all that we had in common. I was not even aware of anyone else. It was as if everyone disappeared. Eventually we became inseparable. That’s how I met my red-haired boyfriend! (The “carpet” held that secret.)

Back in 2000 I was a very unhappy lonely man.
I’d had a 10 yr relationship (with an anti-nudist) that had gone wrong, then a quick relationship with my best friend of 15 years gave me my twin daughters but a decision we were better as friends than lovers.

I looked after my daughters for a while when their mum was ill, and hated giving them back. My doctor diagnosed depression and told me to do things I enjoyed but hadn’t done for a while.
Well, my first thought was public nudism. Until my 10 yr relationship I’d been a regular swim member and attended camps with Young British Naturism. I could get to an unofficial beach reasonably easily, and the sunshine, freedom, and exercise of the walk to it helped me to lift the black cloud.
I decided that I wasn’t going to stop trying for love, I would try internet dating, but I was going to be honest from day one and say ‘I am a nudist’ straight off.

I had a couple of responses fairly quickly, both of whom mentioned naturism as something they’d try, but nothing happened from them. Then I had a message from Carol.
She was unhappily married, wasn’t a public nudist but was open to the idea having been to pagan camps where people showered together and went naked if they wished (and the weather was right.)
There was a lot going on in my life at that time, both my parents died within 6 weeks of each other, and chatting to her kept me on the right path. She had made the leap of telling her husband that it wasn’t working and they should split, not just because of me but because she could see that it was best.
We’d talked about naturism, I’d told her how great it felt, and at the start of 2001 I booked us a weekend at a naturist Finca (farmhouse) in Spain. We flew there, the owner picked us up, we stripped off in our room, and Carol stepped into public nudism like she’d been doing it all her life. We spent the weekend in the gardens, getting an all over tan, picking sun warmed oranges from the trees and not worrying when the juice went over us.

We returned to England, and a fortnight later I moved 200 miles to be nearer to her. Within 2 months we moved into the cottage we still live in with her two children (who were unfazed by our nudity but had very little wish to go public), and soon knew the route to Holkham beach like the back of our hand. We’ve had two camping holidays at clothes optional sites (her daughter went on the first but only went nude in the showers), and attended the local fortnightly swim religiously.
We’ve made friends on several nudist sites, and actually met our nearest friends on TrueNudists.
For various reasons we don’t do as much public nudity as we used to, unfortunatly, but around the house and in the garden is still naked time when the weather is fine.

Joey being a nudist for 6 years at meeting and Anne not ever being exposed to the lifestyle. Since meeting each other Joey has introduced me (Anne) to the lifestyle. In our 9 months together we have met other couples on TrueNudist,visited our first Nudist Resort the Shangri la together, became members of the AANR as a couple.

I (Anne) am so thankful to Joey for letting me take time & introducing me to the nudist lifestyle. We enjoy the freedom, the experience of meeting new people and just being comfortable being ourselves among others.

We are Simon and Maryline (my lovely lively partner) who found love thanks to naturism. We had both practiced naturism previously when our children were young but since our respective divorces it was difficult to practice naturism alone.

Each summer I rent out my farmhouse in the Bordeaux vineyards as a holiday home and move to a camping site. Being divorced and therefore single, I was always reluctant to move to a naturist camp site as a single man where the majority of people are couples or families.

Maryline had a similar problem and was keen to spend time at naturist beaches but reluctant to go alone.

We didn’t know each other although we were living just 25km from each other. By a lucky coincidence, in June 2009, we both posted a message on a French naturist website called “rencontres naturistes” (meeting nudists). We both said we were interested to meet someone to visit naturist beaches or resorts.

Imagine our delight when we saw each other’s messages and discovered we were living so close to each other.

For two weeks we corresponded by email getting to know each other and discovered we had many things in common.

We arranged to meet up in a pub in Bergerac. I arrived first and was drinking my pint of Guinness when I saw this smiling apparition walking towards the pub and I nearly fell off my stool.

It was love at first sight for both of us. After the drink, we went to a restaurant and we just never stopped talking the whole evening discovering each other.

At the time my house was rented out as a holiday home and I was living in my motor home at a nearby camping site. The following Saturday I had a change of guests and I suggested to Maryline she might like to join me at my house. I told her that she could swim in the pool while I prepared the house for the next guests. I joined her for an hour before the guests arrived. Looking ahead we decided it would be a good idea if I moved my motor home to a naturist camp site situated in a forest. I was still working part time and Maryline full time so she would be able to join me each weekend.

Nearly three years later, things have moved on. We are now living together and, as always, very much in love. We have spent several holidays together, including El Portus naturist camping in Spain and Cypress Cove in Florida. Last summer, while my house was rented out, we spent three months living in our motor home in a naturist campsite.

Then 18 months ago we took our love of naturism to another level by jointly buying an apartment in a naturist village on the Mediterranean coast. We spend as much time there as we can, including New Year when Maryline braved a swim in the Mediterranean on the 1st January.

My partner and I met on a naturist website in October 2009. He was from Sweden and I lived in Australia.
After numerous messages backwards and forwards we begun talking on the phone and hanging out
naked together on skype every time we had the chance. Our first ‘dinner’ date was me having breakfast
and him having dinner on skpe as we had to manage the time difference between our two countries.
As time went on we discovered we had so much in common. Of course we had our shared naturist
philosophies and love of the outdoors, both romantics and he won me over with his warm, cute smile and
hilarious sense of humor. We shared a similar view on most things in life and enjoyed our differences
when they popped up.

Early in 2010 we decided that we should meet and spend some time together so he booked his ticket
to come to me in Australia! Meeting him at Sydney airport was one of the most exciting things I had
ever experienced in my whole life. We were inseparable from that moment on. Exploring life together,
including all the nudist activities in Australia and a trip to New Zealand to a nudist resort just outside of
Auckland, we discovered that we wanted to be together forever as we continued on our exciting journey
together. Our bond just kept on growing. After six months we registered our relationship here in New
South Wales, Australia.

We had the issue of him arriving on a tourist visa so went about preparing for a partner visa. Although
we regularly participated in ‘tourist activities’ which were required so he would comply with his visa we
ran into an overzealous immigration officer. Arriving back in Sydney from our trip to Auckland his visa
was cancelled because of our relationship and he was sent back to Sweden. We were literally torn
apart. Due to my commitments here in Australia I could not immediately relocate to Sweden and we have
not physically been in each others presence since then. So it’s back to phone calls and skype which
is very difficult. Even though the outcome was not so good we shared an amazing experience together
and something which I will never regret. Now it’s up to the gods what happens and it will be interesting to
see what life has instore for us either as a couple of individual. One thing I do know is that we shared an
intense love. I loved and was loved in return and it was a great gift.
