Why Be Nude?
For me being nude equals freedom, as I am sure most will agree...
I found I preferred to sleep nude at the very early age of 7 years old...
What reason? I don't know, just more comfortable I guess...
Starting about 13 or 14, I wanted to be nude during waking hours,
whenever I had the chance... Why? It just felt good to be nude...
At about 16 or 17, I took any opportunity I could to be nude, on the desert, or any remote place I could find...
When I was about 22 or 23, my wife and I would spend most days nude at home... Why? Because we could...
When I was a little older, 29 or 30 I took walks by moonlight (nude) down the remote powerline roads in Arizona...
Due to previous religious constraints, I never joined an organized nude venue, and haven't been to one even now...
In the intervening years (I am 49 now), my only nudity was at home in
my bedroom, or in the home while the kids were at school...
But in the past 2 or 3 years, I finally realized "I are a nudist"...
And a born nudist at that... Despite my upbringing to the contrary...
Since the summer of 2006, the wife and I are always nude at home...
And occasionally get a chance to be nude elsewhere...
Haven't done the mixed nudity thing yet...
Want to enjoy it with my wife, and she is not sure about it yet...
Sexuality and nudity?
Obviously you can't deny that being nude is at least sensual...
And in certain contexts is certainly sexual...
One must be cautious not to confuse the two...
Actually it is "context" that makes the difference between "sexual" and "non-sexual" nudity...
But it is also "background" and "habits"....
i.e. If you come from a background where nudity is akin to "sin", you
may find it difficult to not feel shame at your own nudity...
or even to feel as if by being nude with others, you are partaking in "sinful" behavior...
Or if you habitually view sexually explicit materials, that warp your
view of the (purity) of the human body, you may find it difficult to be
nude without equating that to sex, or viewing your fellow nude
enthusiasts in a sexual way...
Would being nude all the time make a person "dead" to seeing the sensuality of other's bodies?...
I used to think so, but in actuality it doesn't...
Being unclothed removes barriers due to dress, and differing economic levels...
It eliminates undue "speculation" about other people (and their bodies)...
And doggone it, it just feels good!
Take Care,
