RE:Why are you a nudist? What do you get out of this?

I am not a nudist. I am a person. Some people may consider me a naturalist in a broader sense. I see my self that way.

I wear clothes because they are useful. I am nude when it is useful or pleasant. I enjoy watching people nude or clothed. I appreciate the art of fashion and the beauty of people's bodies. I like to study peoples bodies as they grow and age. It is part of studying people that I enjoy. I have to be careful. I have been accused of being creepy. I don't think that I am. People miss understand.

Being nude on a warm sunny day in Wisconsin feels good. Clothes are not necessary for swimming and sunbathing. Clothes are necessary in most public places of course, but in isolated places clothes may not be necessary. One of my favorite places to spend time nude is on sandy banks and sand bars on the lower Wisconsin river. Canoeing swimming and hiking nude there are wounder full experiences.

Unfortunately there are other very vocal people who feel they have the right to control other peoples lives. One unimproved beach where people gathered to socialize on the river was shut down.

Those of you who spend a lot of time warm climates may not think about clothes being necessary on cold days which are frequent in Wisconsin. A few weeks in July and early August are warm enough outdoor nude experiences.

Wisconsin forest harbor large swarms of biting insects. Plants rubbing on bare skin cause itching and blisters.

So, naked places and seasons in Wisconsin are limited. My wife and I did explore nudity when we were younger. I felt liberated and enjoyed our naked bodies. My wife always seemed to feel uncomfortable. We stopped experimenting. I prefer to experience life with my wife.

As I get older I regret having missed out on some life experiences, but remember with great pleasure my life experiences with my wife.

Now I am considering meeting others solo, but I am slow to make new friends and worry about alienating my wife. The warm Wisconsin summer is over. Naturalist and sexually free campgrounds in Wisconsin are shutting down for the winter. I have procrastinated too long.

Perhaps I can meet some other people in a similar situations. Next summer may offer new opportunity for both me and my wife.
