Becoming a Nudist was a process for me. I did enjoy being nude as a kid, but only in private. I couldn't wait to have my own place so I could sleep nude. I grew up with gang showers after gym class and sports, so had to expose myself, but was not comfortable with my body back then. Then the dorms and fraternity bathrooms were exercises in time management & towel snapping while being naked with friends. I realized I didn't have the body and parts of the Alpha Males and I retreated from sports and activities where I would have to get naked. As I look back, I was stupid and totally messed up my confidence worrying about how others perceived my body. Skip forward to my fifties and now my sixties, and I don't give a crap. I've accepted my body with all it's flaws (and some scars now) and just love to be nude. I'm more comfortable being nude with men, I know they're judging, but accepting too. A Bucket List for me was visiting a nude beach (Black's) about 8 years ago. After tackling that, I've totally opened myself up to being a "closeted" nudist. :-) Love hanging nude in the sun around our pool and will head to the men's locker room hot tub & steam room nude. I'm still not comfortable having people I know see me nude. Maybe I'll never get the confidence to share my body and parts with everyone, but I'm very happy with my life and nude exposures. My wife is accepting, or should I say tolerant of my nudity outside of the bedroom. Always seeking friends to hang nude with and help grow my confidence. Just felt I needed to tell my story in this forum. Thanks! Mark
When you do mow, do you wear the minimum?I mow naked all summer, I wear ankle boots and nothing else.I do make sure my rear rock deflector is down properly. Wouldnt want a high speed stone to hit me, possibly in a delicate area.
Can any of your yard be seen from the street?
I like to be naked because its more comfortable, I don't like wearing clothes, even the minimum.especially in this hot weather, here in Idaho its going to be 100 degrees, pretty unusual for Sept.I may have to go up in the mountains and stay naked for several days.

I have corner lots for both of my houses and they are in neighborhoods with very few privacy fences. During the fall leaf pickup, I pull my sweeper right over the property line to take care of the neighbor behind me. Raspberry bushes scratch my legs, and low hanging branches can sometimes knock my glasses off. Short shorts and shirtless is as naked as I get while on the rider.

That's what I wear to mow the lawn also.
"Something very strange happens to men as they get older: they like to go nude....But unlike most younger men, they feel no embarrassment or regret at being seen naked.You're going about your business when suddenly up he pops.He can be your husband, your dad, a friend of the family or even a stranger.Nude men and their motives come in numerous varieties.""Theres the chap who is not flaunting his manhood but ...""Then theres the nude guy who likes to show the world that ...""The liberal nude man likes to believe he's doing it for ..."More on this: www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-men-of-a-certain-age-love-to-get-naked
Is really a result of getting older or is more because at least in the US men now over 60 or so grew up with communal male nudity and younger ones did not?
The last of the baby boomers are turning 60 and grew up where nudity was acceptable in the school locker rooms and in it was not an issue in the gang showers. It was a way of life at the YMCA to swim naked with other guys in the 50s and 60s, being naked was just apart of growing up. Now they are in their 60s and 70s are not ashamed of being naked around others and enjoying the freedom that they once had while growing up. The baby boomers also grew up with nudist colonies, the hippie movement and Streaking that provided an outlet to be naked around others too.

This is so very true, but there was an element of shame if you were nude outside of designated places and it was considered somewhat wrong when being nude without a specific reason. We went to the pool, inland lakes and Lake Michigan frequently, but there was then and still are no places for those of us who would prefer to be there without clothes. We could wade out far enough from shore to drop our suits to an ankle and just wade through chest deep water.
I went to school in Michigan - and there were always gravel pits around where people - I suppose men back in the day but by the early 1970's men and women - could go to swim and hang out. I suppose it helps to have a college nearby and a water table perilously close to the surface.
