My other half is not into nudism as much as me
Return to DiscussionsI don't think you can ever really "persuade" your partner to get naked. You can encourage, which is a little bit different.
I think it all starts with positive communication. If your spouse "shuts down" the conversation as soon as nudism is mentioned, there is little you can do beyond that. If he/she is willing to talk about it, you can at least address his/her concerns; and perhaps even find a compromise for nudity: for example her/him being ok with you being nude at home, or even the both of you being naked together (non-sexually) at certain times or on certain occasions.
If you're lucky , patient and encouraging, he/she might agree to visiting a nudist venue. When I took my ex to her first-time nudist resort trip, she made it clear she didn't want to be naked "in front of a bunch of strangers." We went and she chose to stay covered. Would I have preferred she be naked like me? Of course. But I know trying to persuade her to be naked would only result in me alienating her. So I decided to make no mention of her accoutrement. I did, however, encourage her to enjoy the hot tub naked, as we were alone in the clubhouse. She agreed to it; and even consented to staying naked to walk back to the car.
The post-resort trip discussions were important. I asked her about her feelings being nude - even briefly - at the resort. She said it wasn't as bad as she'd thought; and that she actually enjoyed walking nude. So I suggested that next time she actually spend a little more time nude, as to really get a feel for nudism. She didn't object; and that was all I needed to prep for the next resort trip.
Prior to the following resort trip, I tried my best to make her feel as confident about her body as possible. I reminded her how she felt pretty good about walking nude through the resort. Once we got to the resort, I again made no mention about whether she would be going nude or not. We got there, I got naked, she put on a sarong; and I didn't say a word about it. After we settled in and spent the night there, I got up early the next morning and asked her if she wanted to go for a walk. I didn't have to persuade her to take the walk naked. I simply asked her if she really needed to wear her sarong. She simply said: "guess not!" and proceeded to join me naked. We took a nice long walk , and afterwards she decided to stay nude in the pool area.
It would take 2-3 more trips before she started meeting other nudists and started getting comfortable with the idea of social nudity and other people seeing her completely naked.
Now, I'm about to go through the same process with my current wife. I encouraged her to come to a nudist resort with me, and she has agreed. She intends to be topless with just a sarong tied around her waist. Will the sarong come off? It doesn't really matter to me. If she enjoys the resort I will go through the same process. I will encourage her to do a second trip; and I will work on encouraging her to be nude the next time.
