“Labels can cause anxiety, because they sometimes give
a sense of needing to completely redo one’s life in order to live up to
them. What does it mean to be a
naturist/nudist? How does one dress on a
cool day? What about hats? Sarongs?
What are the rules? This is not
to say that labels are bad, but they can be a challenge in some cases. Sharing simple familiar experiences, though,
I find to be an easy way of introducing nonsexual clothes free living. Whether or not others choose to be naked all
of the time, they at least have a lived experience of nonsexual social
nudity. They can see how I behave and
feel my energy. They are OK with the
concept and with me roaming about nude, even if they remain clothed. That has a powerful impact . . . Many
different approaches for many different humans! . . . they always say this, ‘I
loved spending time with you.’ They
don’t care about the labels. They are
just happy to have spent time with me, each of us simply being ourselves.” - https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/12/21/sharing-simple-things/
On Tuesday March 9, 2010, I freehiked the Olive Dell
Nature Trail and repaired several signs.
A few raindrops fell as I hiked.
Still, the trek felt wonderful, even after a day gardening in the
nude. There is something utterly and
uniquely pleasurable about freehiking. I
was reminded yet again how fantastic freehiking feels – even on a cool day.” –

“. . . my parents and two young nieces accidentally
caught me naked in the backyard from a distance. I managed to put shorts on before they got to
me but the secret was out. I really
hadn't tried to hide it, just had never admitted it to anyone. After that I thought 'why worry about who knows?'
and I even felt that nudism was such a great way of life that I wanted to
spread the word to others. So after that
I would casually let others know I'm a nudist when discussing things like how
warm it is, how good the sun feels, soaks in the hot tub, hiking, etc. It's really easy to just mention something
like 'I've recently found out that I like hiking nude much better than
clothed.' Or maybe, 'Yes, the sun feels
great but I don't like tan lines so tan without clothes.' Then, of course, they ask why I do it . . .
So we now try to tell everyone about nudism and have gotten mostly very
positive feedback. My girlfriend's
daughter has even stated it's fine if we are naked when she comes over (which
we do now). . . everyone we know, knows we are nudists and only one family
member had any kind of negative reaction, and she got over it in time. So I really think we worry way too much about
what others will think when we announce our nudism choice to others. Just present it with confidence and knowledge
and it will go fine.” – Guy, CO
