Life Long Naturist, in thoughts and in action I started going naked outdoors as a young teen. Our house was in a wooded area and I used to sneak out late at night and go for naked walks. When I started dating I didn't do much nudity because everybody around me reacted like it was sick or perverted. In my 20's I started going with friends to Zoar Valley where public nudity was tolerated but still not legal. Eventually the rangers started making that too difficult. In my 30's I was invited to a clothing optional campground by some friends. I joined and ended up working there as the pool manager for a few years. I got to go to work naked every weekend! More recently I have been going to family venues such as Hanlan Point in Toronto, the Ponderosa Resort outside Hamilton, and a few visits to other beaches such as Gunnison Beach in NJ and the Little Beach in HI. Nudism for me is about freedom, exhilarating freedom from having to care what to wear, the feel of the sun and breeze on my body, the acceptance with others who share the experience with you!
