About

Hello, I have been curious about naturists/naturism for many years. I am someone who is very comfortable in my own skin. I have always been very health conscious and strive to become healthier, stronger, and enjoy doing a variety of activities and trying new things. Like many people who have an interest in naturism, I started in my own home. Often, when I am home by myself I will walk around the house naked, with no worries. Often before and after I get out of the shower. I enjoy the freedom and simplicity of it. As someone who has mild social anxiety, I have spent the last couple of years facing my fears, and challenging myself to go outside my comfort zone. It has been a transformational experience, and I have found many hidden gems along the way, including within myself. One of those was visiting a naturist site for the first time in 2025 - Sunward Naturist Park. As to be expected I was certainly nervous, as I typically get with anything new. Since I got there early in the morning it was still relatively brisk, and the regular members were still wearing clothes at the time. Which I think was also a good thing, as it allowed me to acclimatize to the setting and the people there. After I got back from a hike, and it had warmed up considerably the clothes came off. I would say I felt a little awkward for the first 10 minutes. However, that quickly went away once I saw others in a natural state. Very quickly it became normal, and people enjoyed the space without care or concern about how they looked. Eventually, I had forgotten that I was naked, and yet there was an extra sense of freedom of it. As someone who enjoys being outside, being naked outside and being free is a very serene and grounding feeling. Suffice it to say I have gone back many times both last year and this and plan on doing so going forward.
