People That Are Open About The Fact
This group is for people that are open to others about the fact they enjoy the nudist way of living. They dont have to actually live in a nudist (or clothing optional) community but they are not ashamed to tell others that they are nudists Let's discuss how you have told your friends and family. Did you come from a nudist family? What was your first time experience like? When you did disclose...

Return to DiscussionsI became open about being a nudist when I told them that I had an all over tan from being nude in a nudist campground. I wanted them to here that from me telling it my way at a time I was comfortable doing so rather than them hearing it from another person telling them their way or having to tell them at a time when I was not comfortable telling them.
The fact I am a nudist subsequently came out not only in the local paper but also in a TV interview.

I guess you ere outed anyway. I was outed by someone seeing me and telling everyone else in my village. It did me a good turn. I no longer need to pretend. I go on lots of holidays and they all know what sort of holidays they are. It really is no problem - they accept me as me, it being just a part of my personality.
I agree that a sensitive job may mean there are some people you can't tell. Just tell the others -friends and family. It makes life much easier.
My partner has one of those jobs where her nudism could well be a problem if she was 'outed'. I used to be employed in a similar role too. When my situation changed and I no longer needed to be cautious on those grounds I wanted to be more open about being a nudist. It is something I am proud to be and I see no reason to be ashamed or embarrassed about people knowing I am a nudist, or seeing me naked. My partner loves nudism too, she grew up in a nudist family, but didn't want to have any problems with her work, she really enjoys it. We wanted to be on nudist websites because we wanted to exchange ideas, experiences and tips with other nudists, about places to socialise nude and hopefully make new nude friends.
We looked at how we could strike a balance between our situations, where I could be more open about my nudism while not outing ourselves here to the wrong people. As others have said we felt that if people saw me nude on here, or other nudist websites, it was because they were either nudists themselves, or they were here for reasons that they possibly wouldn't want to be made known. So we signed up to a number of nudist sites and set up profiles where I wasn't as easily recognisable as I am today. We have made some really good friends through being on these sites, both online and real life ones. So we managed to achieve one of our major objectives through being on nudist sites. Over time when the only people we know have recognised me online are other nudists( we expect that there are also some others who don't want to reveal that they look at nudist websites) we decided that I could be more open about my nudism, here and in real life. I share easily recognisable full nude photos and describe the places we visit as nudists online and in real life conversations. I don't avoid answering 'Are you a nudist?' type questions. But like others here I don't broadcast it to everyone. Its mostly on a need to know basis, where it makes life easier if others know I am a nudist. For example - they invite us to something on a hot sunny day when we want to be at a nudist beach, its easier if I can tell them why we won't be accepting their invitation.
Over time I have continued to be more and more open about being a nudist. I have appeared in publicity material for nudist clubs, photos of me have been published in nudist magazines and I have become more active in nudist organisations, using my full name and address in campaigns. We seem to have found a point between my desire to be an open nudist and my partner's reasons for being more cautious about her nudism. One day when her job is no longer a problem we look forward to both of us being fully open about our nudism.
