Only new and trying to convince the other half to go too

Hey everyone,
I have only recently taken the plunge into nudism and loving it. The only problem is that I have a beautiful wife that walks around the house naked, but won't go to the beach with me. How do I convince her to come with me?

You don't Mick, if she is going to join you she will only do it on own terms,and in her own time.

The good news is that you're halfway there. Many wives won't even stay naked at home.

I personally recommend the nudist resort over the nude beach because it's a safer environment. A lot of nudist resorts are clothing-optional or allow first-timers to stay covered (outside the pool area). Knowing that they won't be "forced" to be naked, or stand out in the middle of naked people, goes a long way in making wives more comfortable with the idea of visiting a nudist venue.

"Bargaining" also works. Make the idea of visiting a nudist resort more palatable by saying you can stay for only for as long as she's comfortable; and you'll then take her on a nice night out on the town afterwards. Or that a resort trip is your only birthday wish. Allow some feedback and/or compromises. That way she'll feel that her feelings about it matter.

Sometimes it takes more than just a few conversations. Be patient. It's ok to be persistent as long as she doesn't feel pressured.

I've been married twice, and introduced both my reluctant wives to resort nudism. In both cases it took patience, persistence and communication. And a bit of bargaining.
On her first resort trip, my first wife didn't get naked until late in the day, right before leaving. My current wife got naked less than an hour after getting there. Both had arrived there with little intention of disrobing; but the laid-back environment, the friendly faces and the lack of pressure to get naked motivated them both, in their individual own way, to give it a try. They both left at the end of the day having experienced social nudity, and enjoyed it; even though they'd both initially felt that couldn't happen.

I wish you the same! Bonne chance!

I agree with both previous answers. Just let her know being there is not as fun without her.

Search the blogs for Leading my Wife to Nudisum there may be some information there that you will find useful.

Yeah, what they said.

You're already further along the path than many.

Your wife will only go at her own pace, and will only do what she is comfortable with. If she isn't comfortable, she shouldn't be doing it. Bribery can work, if done in a light hearted way. Constant reassurance and complements help.

Also, I agree about saying how it's more fun and enjoyable if she joins you than if you do it yourself. After all, it's true, and everybody wants to be wanted.

Agree with what is said above, despite it being frustratingly slow, if your wife is nude around home, that is a good start. Try the back yard if it's private to get some sun and to enjoy some time together. Some women seem to only associate nudity with sex and think that is the only reason we may be nude. Others are scared of how they look compared to all the porn women on the net or younger women or their younger selves. It is a challenge for all of us in this position.

Small steps, slow steps, some may seem to go backwards but just keep on being tolerant, not too much pressure. All in her time.

Cheers, good luck.

Hi reckon your best bet is to invite and take your wife to a nice naturist club in the summer where all will be naked and swimming in the clubs swimming pool. Ihave had two partners who had never gone naked in front of many people however going to my naturist club, warm day all members naked and enoying the sun and the pool, nerviusly at first stripped of and into pool. Both never looked back, love and became naturist and going naked they just loved doing. My current partner was one of these. So join a good club and your wife will 'soon' become a natural naturist.

If I had a beautiful wife who walked around the house naked, I would forget about the beach! Congratulations!
