Body Positive Nudes

Try to lift each other up and bring a little body positivity to the world, your shape, size, ethnicity are less important than your attitude. A great place to feel good about yourself no matter who you are or what you might have been told previously.A place to discuss issues you might have or just to try and share your positive experiences and encourage others to come to peace with themselves

I discovered naturism about 9 years ago, I tried it a time when my confidence was very low, and due to a life changing event I was starting to suffer with depression, if I'm honest throughout my entire life the thought of being seen naked was my worst nightmare. (when I was younger I was teased about the size of my penis and it got to the stage where I wouldn't even go on dates because I was so ashamed. As I got older despite marrying and having children I never undressed with the light on in front of my wife) Anyway I decided to try it because I thought if I could overcome my greatest fear everything else that was going on in my life at that time would be easier by comparison. What I wasn't expecting was that overall feeling of mental wellbeing that I experienced, for the first time in my life I felt a true sense of freedom. When I'm naked I'm able to completely unwind and relax, I'd found my escape from reality. It's the only time I completely switch off. Now I genuinely don't care if the whole world sees me naked I am what I am and becoming a naturist helped me overcome my mental health problems so I'm proud to be a naturist

I've always enjoyed being a nudist, but found myself "covering up" when I was around non-nudists. A few years ago I moved to a rural area and decided to live a truly open nudist lifestyle. I have 8 acres with no close neighbors so I am naked 24/7, inside and out. When I have guests, I stay naked. They are welcome to join me, but not required. I have no bedroom or bathroom doors because I feel there is no reason to "hide" while doing things that EVERYONE does EVERYDAY. So whether I'm taking a shower, sitting on the toilet or even making love in bed, the doors are open. I've never been more relaxed, or happy, just living my open, nudist lifestyle.

Nudism definitely has a positive effect on mental health. I fully agree with prior posts. Whether at home or at a nudist venue, I find contentment with myself and others. For too long I was solo. TN helps me become a social nudist.

Reading this post made my day! Im so happy for you and that you overcame your fears and inhibitions and are now able to enjoy your body just as it is! I grew up with the same insecurities and was harassed by classmates and teammates as well, for something I had not control over and caused a lot of body shame issues growing up and well into adulthood. This site and another I am a part of and a few really great individuals on here really helped me on my journey to being a proud and unashamed nudist! Although I might argue that I dont think you are small at all but seeing confident smaller guys on here and in social settings was what finally made me realize Im fine just as I am. In fact I admire those men so much that I now try to model myself after them and hope to be a role model for guys in the future with the same fears and issues! Thanks for being you and being here and sharing!

What a wonderful turn around for you. I hope you spend many years in your natural state.
For me it was the reverse. I was considered good looking athletic with a penis that remained hard almost on command.
I was popular with both men and women but always gravitated to the older man. I never had a father who paid any attention to me so being naked with older men provided me with an opportunity to show my naked body off in front of my favorite guys
I still spend most of my time naked at a naturist club I belong to. I love feeling free and relaxed among mostly men who say they are bi. To be honest I don't care as long as they are happy in themselves.
Now in my 70s not quite the body I had and the old fella seems to be getting smaller.
So I've had to readjust my thinking and accept myself as I am and work on toning up my body xx to all of you
