Well Jerry It looks like we have 65 shy familys in the group with only 3 out of the 3 contributing anything to group. How are we going to get families to talk about them selves. It would be nice to thave otthers contribute besides jus us 3. I was in hopes when I started this group that ppl would contribute to the group. I guess its like all the service clubs that I belong to is everybody wants to belong but when it comes time for meetings, fun raisers, or participation there is only like 1% that contributes.

With kids its hard to get here regularly sometimes but would love to contribute as we can.

some times its not because families are shy
but because they are fed up with being hit on for pictures of our kids
christine and family

It seems like there is a large number of men on here that are ruining it for the rest of us. I'm a solo male, my wife refuses to give it a try, but it seems that there is a significant number of solo, single, and "couples" men that are using this site inappropriately which tarnishes the reputations of the legitimate solo males here. Top that off with requests to see nude photo's of peoples children and it's no wonder people are "shy".
Best thing most of us can do is report those who make such requests and hopefully the moderators will start removing/banning the offenders profiles.

We are a family of 4. I was raised a nudist (come to find out) but never remember being nude. As my teens came around being nude in my room was the thing. Skinny dipping in my grandparents pool was also the thing. Until my grandfather caught us numerous times. :)
I personally am nude in the house 24/7 if possible. So my 10 y.o. daughter and 4 y.o. son have been exposed to it. Last year was the first time I encouraged it while out on our land. So nude swimming was the thing. Hesitant at first they were. My son was the first to strip and then the daughter finally warmed up to it. While there alone the wife will be nude but if my friend and his family is there then the two mothers stay clothed while everyone else is running around swimming and what not nude.
As for this site I do not get on here much as I was getting slammed with gay guys hitting on me and got tired of it. Still tired of it. People aren't reading my profile otherwise I wouldn't be getting the requests as I state no Bi-Sexual / Gay people should request as I am tired of being hit on. Not here for sexual anything. Here to learn and expand on nudism. Here to enjoy this way of life and also enjoy it with others who feel the same. If I wanted sex then I can go anywhere on the internet and get that or drag the wife off away from the kids and get that.
Just wrong motives on a lot of people here which makes it hard. I will NOT post any pics of my kids on here just for those reasons. Which is sad.

Just my $0.02 is all...

Nudist family of four here. We will contrubute where and when we can but when it coes to question from people on how to get the family into nudism we won't be able to answer because we do not feel it is our place to tell someone how to raise their children. Fortunately Karen my wife was raised nude so their is no problem in raising ours nude. They would rather be nude than to wear clothes probably because the only time they wear clothes is when they are out going somewhere or in school.

Rasied with 3 brothers and 3 sisters shring upstairs of a house and one bathroom daily no place for modesty so it was natural to be partly naked or totalyl naked around anyone at home...no harm there at all, so we rasie our kids to look forward to nude time anytime we can anywhere we can..have several families we know that are nude as much as they possibly can be and they even have teen boys and girls and all the social awkwardness teens sometimes have these boys-girls are naked and comfy with it and seem to enjoy it when their parents' friends like us are thewee and nude too not just their own teen peer group...

Hi Natfam,, Thanks to a divorce I too am that Dreaded Single male.. So far my kid's all know
Nude is Ok.. Bu thank's to my Prude ex only my boy shows any interest in it... I havent took him
resort yet but might this year...

My kids are grown, two of them enjoyed the freedom of the lifestyle for a couple of years while living with me as teens after my divorce. The ex wasn't a fan of the idea, but didn't make any problems. I am now remarried and have three step children. Their father is a total prude, but we do go nude around them and let them decide if they want to be nude or partially nude around the house.

Hello all, I have just joined this group and have been reading the posts and have to say that since i wasnt raised as a nudist but have felt comfortable with being nude around others i understand why others feel shy about their bodies or even saying they are nudists. A friend of mine here said it very well when he asked if 2 people were naked in front of you which one is wealthy? You cant tell until you put clothes on and see what they want you to percieve them as. My wife and I have been talking about raising our children as nudists. It is difficult to knock down the misconceptions of society about separating nudity and sex. With the help of this site and a lot of talking it will all work out.

I completely agree with you nightowl. As a single male that was raised in a nudist environment since the age of 15 I know the problems that some single men present, which makes it difficult for those of use that are sincere, genuine, honest and support wholesome nudist for all ages.
Anyone, male or female, that requests photos of minors should report the requesting person so they can be banned from the site. There is absolutely no reason what-so-ever for anyone to have such photos outside of the immediate family. When I speak to others and they bring up the topic of minors I am always very leary and if they are not respectful and discuss only wholesome topics I no longer have anything to do with them. It is up to the rare few here that live wholesome nudist lives to serve as an example to others.
My apologies for rattling on, but wholesome, nonsexual nudism is a topic that I am very passionate about.
Take care, stay well and peace!
