It seems right that I share first as I started this thread...here goes.
I am really new to public/social nudity, like 2 months new. I have been a private, home nudist for decades but, outside of a locker room, I had not been nude in public. One of my best friends has been interested in nudity, specifically public nudity, for about 6 years. He has been going to a nude beach near we live for about 4 years and he had been sharing his growing comfort with public nudity and I was intrigued. I had wanted to try public nudity for a long time but was scared to step out and explore it fully. There were many reasons for the fear that Im not going into here, just know there were a lot of background thinking going on as i argued with myself about taking this specific risk.
In early September we were having beautiful weather and my friend said he was going to the nude beach. Finally convinced that I could do this I asked if I could go to the beach with him. He said yes and so we made plans for the following weekend. While we were waiting he saw on a group he was following that they were going to have a nude hike and swim and he joined them for that event. He came home from that event and joined the group officially. We confirmed our Saturday schedule but he received an email notice from the group that they were doing another nude hike and swim...on the Saturday to the beach we were planning to go to. He suggested we join the group for the event and then emailed the coordinator of the event that he was bringing a friend...me.
Ive covered the mental gymnastics I did for the rest of the week in other posts. The end result was I ended up naked on a beach, with a group of strangers and no clothing to be seen. My friend had been late joining the group so I did the hike without him. He came and settled near me, we both spread out our towels and I got ready to enjoy the sun on my bare body.
My friend was talking to a couple of guys who had been on the hike and mentioned that in 25 years of friendship we had never seen each other naked and we all shared a laugh, a slightly nervous laugh on my part. He then went on to sat that this was the first time I had been nude in public. I was congratulated on taking the plunge. Then my friend opened hid backpack, pulled out 2 plastic cups and a bottle of well chilled mead and we shared a celebratory toast for my first nude adventure.
This was the perfect way to seal that memory forever and I will always we remember my first nude beach and the very special way my best friend had welcomed me into this new and exciting world.

RE:What was your first publicly nude experience like? Who or what made it special and memorable?

Hi like most in this group Ive been a home nudist for years, but this past July I accidentally came upon a clothing optional spot. Was fishing at a lake an hour north of Pittsburgh and struck up a conversation with a guy who was fishing near me. We talked for awhile and said to him wish I new of a good place to catch trout. He told about a place he went to the evening before caught some nice ones. So I took the hour and a half drive northeast to the spot found the trail down into the gorge at the bottom I went to the right first caught some fish then went to the left from the trail and seen a rock with the words nudist area next 1 miles. Couldnt believe what I was seeing then saw a couple walking towards me naked they stopped and got dressed at the rock so I asked if this was actually a legal nudist area they said yes but only 1 mile from the rock and there was another rock paint end of nudist area. Upon hearing this without anymore thinking stripped and walked down the gorge it felt so wonderful and natural not to be clothed in nature after walking for about half mile found a water fall and swimming hole with about 20 to 30 people sunning swimming and just socializing, found a spot to put my gear down at said hi to the people nearest to me and went for a swim. Talked to a couple who where swimming also they congratulated me along with others that heard me talking on taking the plunge into social nudism . I now belong to a local nudist club near my home but do to COVID-19 restrictions recently put in place they had to suspend the swim/socials until the restrictions are relaxed enough. I cant wait until that happens until then Im stuck being a home nudist when I can.

I went bowling with the Chicago fun club. It was nerve racking and I got a little excited when I first undressed but it quickly went away. It didnt hit reality for me until I turned from taking a shot and saw a middle aged woman take off her pants in nothing but a bra and then that popped off and we just looked at each other naked. It was special mainly cuz it was the first time a group of people were seeing me naked and I had no issues with it

I actually was with my ex at the time and she forgot an extra towel so I gave mine and walked naked from the showers back to the trailer I was staying in at the time. I don't think anyone saw me, but if they did I'm pretty sure they enjoyed the show lol
