Older Nudists
For the over 50s. We all have wrinkles and battle scars and no longer look the way we used to. But our minds are still young.

The Older I get, the less inhibited about nudity I am
Return to DiscussionsDo others agree. Growing up in a conservative household, nudity was not something we were allowed to do. However, as life experiences happened, I realized that it was a more comfortable way to live and that we are all models of the same vehicle. All bodies should be perceived as beautiful at any age.
As a young man I hated naked time in the gym because of not being able to control my dick. But when nudity became normal that problem ceased. I think age, maturity and wisdom does help older men to lose their inhibitions. ... I do hope they find the freedom of accepting their bodies as they are.
Not controlling your dick is common among men, especially young men, but it's really an issue of not controlling blood flow. Erections shouldn't be considered a meaningful sign of arousal when blood is the real culprit. It's socially wrong if men need to age with diminished blood flow and vitality to feel less inhibited. Of course comfort to be naked as man among men also provides greater control over erections, but that only comes through experience such as from sports and locker rooms. In the meantime, it's great how Profind is signaling a healthy, respectful and uninhibited freedom for men of all ages to accept their bodies as they are.
Yes I totally agree that the older I get the less inhibited I become regarding nudity and being seen or caught naked. Ive always enjoyed being nude especially outdoors and was not raised in a body shaming or naked-phobic environment so Ive never really been that inhibited about being naked.
However in the past 5 or so years since Ive retired Ive become even more bold and unconcerned about who sees me. I have remained naked when passing clothed people on hiking trails, while cycling naked, suntanning on our deck while boats fishermen etc pass by, skinny dipping in view of neighbours and or passing boats, boating nude, driving nude and various other activities. I wouldnt have been that bold or brave years ago but now I just dont care. In addition to this just being an age thing, I also attribute my emboldened attitude change to my being a True Nudist member these past 4+ years and reading all the stories, bios and encouragement of likeminded people and feeling that I am not alone in my desire to bravely go naked as much as possible.
My concern with being nude - whether in a locker-room or out in nature - has never had anything at all to do with what people will think of my body. Rather, it has everything to do with the completely irrational response/actions that textiles or homophobic males might take against me for feeling comfortable in my own skin. For example, in the locker-room, I have no doubt that the reason why so many males change in stalls or shower in their underwear is because they think other males in that locker-room are gay and might hit on them. Or that by being nude, they are inviting some fellow gym member who is gay to hit on them.
Out in nature, if I am found nude by some belligerent textile, they could either report me to the corresponding authorities (State Park ranger or sheriff) or even worse, physically attack me. I recall reading somewhere on this website how a fellow naturist hiking out in the woods was chased for a short while by some woman on horseback! As long as belligerent textiles and homophobes prevail, I will be super careful about where I choose to go nude - when not at a nudist resort.

I certainly agree with you. I've been a naturist for over 20 years now. I have gotten very comfortable in my own skin, and I will surely get nude outdoors, at the beach, for example.
But of course, we/I would shed our clothes in a safe environment, somewhere secluded in nature and nobody around. At times, it's great when there are open, like-minded people around us whom I have encountered at the beach from time to time.
