My nudism journey
I have loved to get naked for as long as I can remember. At a young age, I found it a sweet thrill to slip out of my pajamas in bed. I would strip naked out behind a shed in the back yard, where my sister caught me once. She said Dont worry, I wont say anything. I do it too. Later in life I would strip on lonely nature trails, or skinny dip in the wee hours of the morning. My nude adventures were always solitary. I finally made it out to a nude beach, where I experienced nudism in mixed company, for the first time. Awkwardness quickly slipped away, replaced by a sense of glorious freedom. I am finding that as much as I love being naked alone, it is even better shared. There is an element of seeing and being seen. There is a shared vulnerability, a lack of pretense, and common humanity in our flesh and bone bodies open to the world. When I am naked, I feel more present in the world, feeling the cool breeze and the warm sun on my skin. It is a wonderful, sensual feeling. I feel free and unbound by elastic, buttons, zippers. This is what naturism means to me.
