How did you get into nudism?

How you got into the lifsyle seems like a good first thread..
I first got into nudism when I was 14, at that point I had already been sleeping naked for a few years, but sleeping naked doesn't make you a nudist. it was when I was 14 I started spending more time naked in my room then venturing out into the rest of the house when I was home alone. I had tried to bring the subject of nudism up to my parents at one point to see what they thought, didn't sound like they we care for it at all. so when I was 21 and moved out on my own, and that is also when I started going to nude beaches campgrounds & Resorts. now I'm almost married and I have a baby and still enjoying the nudist lifestyle. Now I am also looking forward to raising my son as a nudist from the beginning.
looking forward to hearing people's responses, free to start some new threads guys :-)

RE: How did you get into nudism?

I started at 13 by staying naked in my room at night after showers and baths, but would put on underwear to go to bed. How funny was that. Eventually it occurred to me to NOT put on underwear and just sleep naked. I loved it and never looked back.I was usually the first one home from school at 3pm, so I would strip and watch cartoons in the living room knowing no one would be home until 5pm at the earliest. Had naked run of the house. Our backyard was mostly private so I dared to go out there some and just be naked in nature.

When i lived in Europe in my 20s i found nudist places and really enjoyed them. But i've lived among pretty uptight people most of my life in the us who are anything but casual about nudity, even in college. Now I'm extending my network to local nudists.

When I was very young, maybe 7 or 8, I would visit my grandparents on their farm. They would have me take my bath in an old washtub outside. While they were away doing chores I would get out of the tub and run around the yard naked. Later I had a friend who lived down the road from me. I would spend the night at his house and we would dare each other to run around his houseafter dark in the nude. We would also skinny dip in the creek when we went fishing. I've enjoyed running around nude ever since.

As far back as I can remember I loved bring naked. Like others of my generation, nakedness happened only in the shower. Nonetheless, I'd get naked whenever I was home alone, listening attentively so I could duck into the bathroom if I heard a key in the door. Also slipped out of my PJ's at night in bed, usually slipped back into them sometime before morning arrived.

I had done some skinny dipping in college and loved it but did not go naked in public until I was in my 50s at Orient Beach with my wife. We loved it. Since have gone to local nudist camp and beaches in Jamaica. Wish I had discovered much, much sooner!

Like a lot here I started sleeping nude around 9-10 but growing up when it came to our baths my mom would tell us she would start the water and get a towel for us but we would undress in our room and then go take our bath

Everything started at the age of 9, one day when I came from school, my sisters were skinny dipping at the backyard pool and they dare me to do the same, so I did it. Then, after we got out from the pool I showered and stayed naked because I was going to do my homework in my room. When my mother came from work, she told us to not leave the front door open because the neighbors could see us from the outside. Since that day I used to get home, shower and remain nude until these days that I keep doing the same.

First started think 8 when I liked sleeping naked then when the parentals weren't home did start walk around naked. At 20 when I moved out, the freedom to just be home nude was great and since then always enjoyed at home.

RE:How did you get into nudism?

My first real nudist experience was in 1994 when I went to a nudist resort because I wanted to go skinny-dipping like I used to at the YMCA before it went co-ed and required bathing suits.

As a child I had been taught that one did not go around in front of other people without clothes on. Changing in locker rooms was ok as was swimming nude with other males, but in mixed company certain body parts should be covered.

As I was not sure how I could be comfortable nude in front of other people for an extended period of time for no reason at all I practiced by going around my home nude even when I did not have to be.

When I arrived at the resort I was met by a nude man in the office who registered me and gave me the information on the resort. I was then directed to a parking lot where I was met by another nude man who was going to give me a tour of the place. I undressed before the tour because even though no one knew me, I was not going to embarrass myself in public by looking out of place.

My tour ended at the lake and because my reason for going there was so I could swim nude I went into the water.

Later I took a short walk on my own. As I passed other people a smile and "Hello" was in order, the lack of clothing was of no significance.

I returned to the lake for more swimming and sunning.

Before going home I took a warm shower in the round building that housed the showers. As the shower and adjoining hot tub made the drying area humid, I went outside. That did it for me. I was dried by the gentle breeze and the warm sun. That convinced me that this was how we were meant to be. There was nothing disgraceful about being nude. I completed the remaining visits and interviews as soon as I could and became a member.

Little did I know at that time how much I would enjoy the comfort of being nude. Since that visit I have joined a number of other nudist organizations, attended a lot of nudist festivals, gatherings and other events. I have been on a number of nude cruises and now live in a clothing optional community where I can be nude all the time except when it is too cold to be nude or I am going into town.
