Swimming nude or sleeping nude.
When we moved into this house, it had a pool with a low chain link fence, so I could only swim nude after dark.
It didn't make sense to put something on to go to bed, so I slept nude on nights I went swimming.
Early in the second summer. I began sleeping nude every night.
I made a short halfhearted attempt to wear something in bed when fall arrived but decided to continue sleeping nude.
33 years later, I still do.

I have had few opportunities to swim nude. I don't own a pool and don't know anyone who does. Sucks to be me.

All of my nude swimming has taken place at clothing-optional beaches and nudist resorts. Where I live now, the nearest beach is about 1,000 miles away. There's a resort fairly close but, in my opinion, not close enough to make day trips. And you have to pay to spend the night, even if you don't.

I was sleeping nude long (years) before swimming nude.

I started sleeping nude at age 15. My brother had graduated and moved out so I had the room all to myself. 25 years later I still sleep nude every night. I didn't get to swim nude for the first time until I was 17, I was hooked and it is one of my favorite things to do in the water now.

They were both so long ago that I can't definitely say but the first naked swim that I can recall was in 1981 and I was certainly sleeping naked all the time in1982, although the first time I can remember sleeping nude for the odd night was in 1962 when I sometimes slept over at my girlfriend's having not taken any nightwear with me when I went on the date.
I have never slept wearing underwear.

From what I have read on this forum and elsewhere, men sleeping in underwear is very rare in the UK, nude is the norm and those who wear something wear some kind of sleepwear.
The US is almost the opposite, underwear is the norm, nude is common, and sleepwear is rare.
I have only slept in my underwear a very few times in my life.
There was a period of about 2 years when I normally slept in boxers but I always wore briefs as underwear at that time.
After I stopped wearing a shirt in bed, my pajama shorts started wearing out. Instead of buying more pajama sets when I had no use for the shirt, I just bought some boxers for sleeping.

Haha for me it was skinny dipping. I was not sure what it was about skinny dipping that felt different to me than it does for some people but it was what originally made me curious about exploring more ways to be naked.

Over summer breaks a group of friends would sneak onto private property and swim in the pond, one day one friend dared everyone to skinny dip so we did. Always skinny dipped together and laid out in the summer sun all day naked. Fast forward many years and wife and I would enjoy a late evening skinny dip in our pool that led to sleeping nude.

Started swimming naked first at the YMCA at 5 and started sleeping that way in Middle School.
