RE:How did you become a nudist? Tell us the story

Like many as a tot I did run out the door naked at the lake but many of us did that without being a nudist. I grew up very much textile. Recall playing cars (clothed) and set up a nudist resort so all the campers needed to undress to get in. (not the way it truly is) In Jr High I did prefer being on the shirts teem rather then the skins teem. Though in 9th grade I did go nude in the pool wile all others wore a suit. Think I liked the idea of going nude but not so much into shirtless. Did change out of my suit at the lake and had the neighbor girls faces in my bed room windows catching me naked. Had thought of inviting one of the girls to skinny dip after that but didn't. Did try skinny dipping but my splashing and trying to be quiet feared getting caught and quit it soon. Wished I had friends to skinny dip with but didn't. (male) Dad bought property in the country where we built a house and moved in. The land was low and needed drainage. So dad had a pond put in to drain it. We did swim in it mostly clothed but alone I did go naked. Though one time taking my young nephews swimming I took off my suit and they did as well. Then after my dad died I got brave and tried a nude resort. Loved it. Showered next to a female no big deal. No hard on problems or even thought of as many fear. Was naked most the time except a robe to carry my wallet for food money. Then another resort witch didn't go so well. Then taking mom to Florida tried a few there but non AANR but most doors wern't open to me. Went home joined AANR and went more places that next year.

RE:How did you become a nudist? Tell us the story

Was October of 2013 . Was at a local beach on Lake Michigan , and had walked down the shoreline to an area that had few people . You had a good view of anyone walking the shoreline . Decided to strip naked and enjoy laying out naked on my beach towel . Seeing no one on the beach , I chose to walk down to another trailhead beach located further down the beach . Was completely naked . Naive , didn't think anything about it , about how I was dressed . Walked there , and suddenly became aware of a man and woman who had come down this other trail to the beach . They sat down on a sand bluff , within view of me . I was about 50 feet away . I quickly turned around on the beach , knowing they had seen me . I began to walk away from them . About 20 feet later , I stopped . Still facing away from them , I got thinking . They already saw that I was naked . Had nothing to cover me . Thought what did they think about seeing me naked ? Swallowed my qualms , and chose to turn around and face them again . Then did the most bold thing I had ever done in my life . I began to walk towards them , naked as I was . Figured they had seen me anyway , so I am not shocking them . Walked to a spot in the beach in front of them . Then got bold again and walked up to them , completely naked , and asked if I could ask them some questions . I stood there 15 ft. away , and asked what they thought about seeing me . They replied that they were surprised to see a naked man walking the beach . They were surprised that that man ( me ) , then chose to stay openly naked instead of hiding . Then watched as I walked up to them . They were surprised to have me ask if I could ask some questions . This dialogue went on for about 15 - 20 minutes . They said how bold and confident I was , to be willing to be seen and to be willing to ask questions to complete strangers . That really boosted my confidence , and I walked back down the beach to where my beach towel was . From that point onto now , I have become completely comfortable being naked while at home , and at this area of beach . Every year I look forward to another year of laying out naked at this beach . Thanks . Steve
