Life long and closeted
Return to DiscussionsSince a very early age I would enjoy going into the woods near my home, stripping off my clothes and strolling about reveling in the daring freedom from convention. In my teens I had a friend who would join me and we would occasionally pleasure each other. For many years I would do the same thing, always alone and always thinking I was one of a small minority who did this. I discovered Gunnison Beach when I lived in NJ and found it wasnt such a minority. Now its Blind Creek beach here in South Florida whenever I can get away to enjoy it. Sadly, my wife would never dream of public nudity and has no idea I a passionate nudist and bisexual so Im still closeted. Im old now and certainly dont have the body of an Adonis but I love the freedom and exhilaration of walking in the nude, passing by other nude people and seeing and being seen. I think its a normal activity and is how God made us to be. Fortunately, Im not in such a rare group of people anymore. Enjoy the freedom with me fellow nudists!
I can really identify with what you are saying. I just want to be able to go out in social settings in the nude. Why am I the one feeling shamed on wanting to be nude and in the image that we were born into this world. I still have a "closet" nudist", but am trying to get over that hurdle of not being proud to say hey this is how I want to lead my life and am proud of who I am. If you do not care for it then look away. Joining this site was a major step in me gaining this independence on my nudism journey.
I spent most of my life as a closet nudist, only getting naked when alone at home or in nearby woods. I was inhibited, firstly by my parents and later by my wife. They all disapproved of nudity. About 11 years ago I became free to express my nudity. I started by joining TrueNudists where I got a lot of encouragement. Us nudists aren't the weirds many would have us believe. Very soon I went on my first nude holiday and into social nudism. I haven't looked back since, holidaying in countless resorts and visiting endless beaches in Portugal, Spain, Croatia, Austria, France and here in the UK. One breakthrough was when I was outed to the village where I live. Instantly everyone around me knew of my nudist lifestyle and are happy to talk about it. Some have seen me naked. Another great thing is all the new nudist friends I have made amongst fellow nudists.
I was the very same. As a teen I enjoyed stripping and enjoying walking around a country park naked. No one would ever see me ( as far as I knew ) but I loved the thrill I might be and the freedom of nudity.
I kinda thought I must be a little weird so told no one. Not even a best friend.
It was only much later in life when my wife encouraged I went naked in public, I must of confided in her i dont recall, on holiday that I realised it was much more of a thing. We both enjoyed my nudist ways, she loved that people would see my naked, including her sister and mother, and found it a major turn on.
Later joining this site I was amazed just how many feel closeted , how many men are secret bi sexual or bi curious. But the world seems more open, more tolerant these days ...hopefully sites like these with continue to assist
Similar story here - as kids we even used to play show and tell with guys and girls. In school I got hairy early so after gym I became known all over school as the hairy dick guy. Had some neighborhood kids would of course wanted then even more to 'see' and show and tell occurred probably a little older than should have. Advance to adulthood and now in my 60s just getting back to nudism and enjoying it after a textile life. Damn what did I miss out on? AustinJohn
