Being a Nudist in Suburbia

Return to Discussions

I am sure there are many of us who enjoy being naked but do find limitations to going nude outside as a result of living in a suburb where houses are close together and where there is a lot of overlook into backyards. I am one of these people and while there are limitations, it can also be very exhilarating. We have a backyard pool and being in and around the pool naked is such a great experience. I do have to pick my times carefully to make sure the neighbors have the blinds on their second floor windows closed (they often do but not always) and that our one neighbor with young kids is not home. Even then, there is always a chance that someone will see me if they happen to open their blinds (and I am sure this has happened as I have noticed that sometimes some blinds are open where they were previously closed while I was out naked) - this is what makes it so exiting and exhilarating. I do however, try to spend some time nude in our backyard in the summer to work on getting a full body tan when my wife is not home - she is not to crazy about me hanging around nude in the backyard because it is not as private as would be desirable for nude sunbathing. The other opportunity to be naked in the suburbs is late at night when almost everyone is sleeping and there is little activity on the streets. I take advantage of this suburban characteristic to go on long naked night walks around my neighborhood, walking down streets, through parks and along paths. I would typically head out at about 2 or 2:30 and walk around for up to an hour and half - the longest distance I have gone is about 5 km. I will leave the house nude and be barefoot to get that full nude sensation. It is an absolutely wonderful feeling being out and about without a stitch of clothing, including being bare foot . While I am constantly scanning my environment for others who might be out and watching out for the odd car when I am walking naked down a road, I have found that very few people are around and you are pretty free wandering around enjoying being nude in the night air. I have however been spotted a couple times and this gives you a real rush and is what adds to the exhilaration. I would love to hear how other suburban nudists maximize time being nude outside in the suburbs given the limitations imposed by our suburban environments.

RE:Being a Nudist in Suburbia

I live on a thinly populated road in the high desert. Using your strategy of the wee hours, I put on my clogs and took off down the road. Several cars passed me some slowly. They stopped about a quarter mile ahead of me at a canal. They were 4 wheelers and stayed at the canal until I got close.They broke up and took of in booth directions. One slowed beside me and questioned my well being.. I assured him and his companion that I was ok. He asked if I was out for a walk and I replied that the summer night was just right for it. After a few more awkward attempts at discussion, he drove away. I decided that if the natives were so restless at 3am, maybe I should be resting.

RE:Being a Nudist in Suburbia

There are abundant opportunities to go totally nude in outer suburbia and rural regions. The thrill of being exposed is par for the course and part of the EDUCATION that is a nudist's/exhibtionist's cross to bear (bare? ... never was good at grammar.), butt it's also nice to be undisturbed, and avoid deterrents, and relax, fall asleep in Nature and wake up (or finish a long nude trek) and feel empowered, emboldened, infused with chemical ions Nature has in abundance to share with our bodies, minds, souls and spirits and feel One with Nature. It's hard to go back to so called ci.vi.li.za.tion.
