Family
My Nephew visited (non-nudist, I believe) and I was thinking... How does one tell your family that you are a nudist?

RE: Family
try the Adam and Eve approach about nudism. this might help it to break the thought of it being nonsexaulity. also you should check this on related topics. this has been answered before

A lie has speed, but truth has endurance.
RE: Family
I would just tell them straight, there is no point trying to hide such an important part of your life. Do they know you're gay, and if so, how did they accept it.
RE: Family
- The first question I've asked is: "Do they need to know?" The second question: "Why do they need to know?"
- When I was still married, we had to tell my M-I-L because we were home nudists, and she very frequently and unexpectedly dropped by our home. It was just a matter of time before she caught us nude or realized we'd just been nude before she showed up. It was my wife who very "matter-of-factly" broke the news that we were often nude at home and forewarned her that showing up unexpectedly would no longer send her running to the bedroom to put something on. My M-I-L readily accepted that fact.
- Another person we told was my S-I-L; because my niece would often stay with us, and my "super-nudist" daughter would end up convincing her to join her. We had to clear it with her Mom, who was ok with it.
RE: Family
For my point of view, it depends on how anxious you are to tell people you are a nudist. For me, I do not run around saying, "I am a nudist!" But if they ask if I am I say yes, or if they even hint at it I will discuss it with them and likely in the course of that conversation, mention I am a nudist. I also feel it is good to follow up immediately with, "and if you have any questions about nudism, feel free to ask." That way they do not feel the conversation is done and they may have questions and are shy to ask.
Simply, I say, be an information source.

RE: Family
My wife's cousin comes over every day and when we first moved in here she would just knock once then walk in. I ran to my room when she came here the first couple times then the next time I was on the couch and just covered by a small blanket.
I told her that I don't mind at all if she just walks in and she is totally welcome to do so but that I am not going to race to cover myself. Since then she has always knocked and often asks my wife when she answers the door "is he dressed".
It is strange how big of a deal nudity is to many people, but to us nudists it is just a way of life and is perfectly normal.
If you feel someone needs to know, or you just want them to know tell them. Most people accept it better than you would think even though many may not want to be around you when you are nude they usually understand your desire to be nude.
Some people though are not accepting at all. My brother is one who I would not tell because he is judgmental of about everything. He thinks it is inappropriate if my 4 year old is in his underwear or comes out of the bathroom without clothes on.
You can kinda know how someone will react by the way they react to other things in life, though some people throw you for a loop. One friend I thought would be totally accepting and would possibly want to go to check out a resort said that is so gross why would you want to be around other people naked and will not even talk about nudism at all.

Loves being naked, plays well with others!
RE: Family
For us ... we just sat down and talked to them. Our daughter's were actually relieved ... they thought we asked to talk to them to tell them we were getting a divorce! They knew of our perpensity for nudity at home. I don't think they realized that we lived naked ALL the time but they remember when they were young that they didn't wear clothes at home much and we didn't wear clothes hardly at all. When we went public/social with our lifestyle, they caught us in a couple of little white lies and we decided, there's no reason to lie, just tell them. My wife said she'd do it so they didn't think I was forcing my wife to do this. They have partaken in nudity with us but the oldest is more a vacation nudist and the youngest, the more reserved and shy one, is actually more comfortable with it and is thinking about joining one of the organizations and our club!

RE: Family
Hello,we are relatively new to naturism (8 years) and our parents don't know about our lifestyle. If one day will be the occasion we will tell him.If the parents know it or not, it does not matter. The important thing is that we feel good as naturists.
Nice naturist day,T&V

RE: Family
I live by myself so I have no problem living naked 24-7 when I'm at the house. Years ago I told my brother about going to an FKK-Spa in Germany with an Army buddy ... he said he'd like to do that, but his "wife would divorce him"; a few years later my niece made a comment about my visiting a nude beach, and it was so off-the-wall I didn't respond -- only later did it occur to me that she'd been talking about me with her Dad ... One of my great regrets, though, is that I didn't let my family know about my movement towards a nudist/naturist/at-home-and-in-clothing-optional-venues life-style: it would make it easier now. But then I had no idea how important it would become to me to be "out" as a guy who likes being naked as much as I do .... Any guidance?

Any guidance?I cant give any guidance but I can tell you that I have a very understanding family, with a European back ground, and nudity is not a problem.

Ive taken my sister to a nude beach.. yes I was naked but she refused to remove any clothes.. but probably regrets it to this day.
She told her husband about our fishing trip that ended up on the nude beach because of high winds and waves.
(Its always good to have options on a windy day).
My love for nudity was shown that day and I know she had a good time and has also mentioned it to her daughter(my niece) who is 17 now and wants to go with me next summer.

RE: Family
That depends on how old he is and the kind of relationship you have with him. I live on my own, but have a very close relationship with my nephews and nieces. They usually sleep over and, though theyre not nudists, they have seen me naked a couple of times and my nephews (15 and 16) have shared tha shower with me many times since they were little kids. My sisters and brothers-in-law have never objected to it, even though they're not nudists themselves. I think you can tell him you are usually nude at home and you'd like to know if that would make him uncomfortable. Just as simple as that.
