For those of you who know me, this

won't be a surprise, but I was raised as a naturist. Actually, I was homeschooled

until I was nearly 13 and had to attend a public school. I had constantly wore

Clothes for those occasions when we had to go into town for whatever reason,

but if it was warm... I used ton't wear much. And most of those clothes were homemade

by my mom, so I definitely wasn't the fashion queen!

But when I 'd to go to public school, the

Clothes thing became a serious dilemma really

Quickly. Kids didn't get my garments, and I quickly became the butt of many jokes

about my mother and father's economic state. They guess quite erroneously, while we

would need to try and mimic the styles that others were wearing. But http://virginiastreetdesign.net/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=familynudism.info/videos/top-3-girls-seen-on-1172.html hated it.

I loathed the picture that clothes gave to folks. Everything I wore, it appeared,

sent a message to everyone, if just that I was attempting to conform.

By the time I got into high school, I 'd grown enough to where I just didn't

care anymore. Coincidentally, this was about the same time that I reached the

jeans and a t shirt day-to-day, irrespective of the occasion, except perhaps I wore some

specific for "spirit" day.

So, although I came to accept wearing clothing, and the messages it sent, I have

never liked it. When it became necessary to look for a job, I found a

Speaking to

friends about naturism was odd at first,

but a lot of my friends believe the idea is really great (even if they do not want

to attempt). I've managed to convince a couple of them (fairy easily I might add) to

come out and give naturism a try at our clothing optional swim. Essentially I only

Discussing. As for introducing the idea to them, I found it simplest to lose little

Steers or raise questions in a joking manner. By way of example, at a house party where

people are in a hot tub (Hey, why don't we just get naked!) and then merely fill

people in with information from there. Or the tradition, "Have you ever tried or

thought about attempting skinny dipping?" It was a bit bizarre bringing the idea up

with female buddies. It's kind of strange to to tell your female friends to come

out and attempt being bare withyou without appearing kind of creepy. Talking to them

about bathing nude or having a bare sauna and how good it feels (if they have no

Encounter) appears to be a great place to start. That way they are able to get cozy

with naturism on their own terms. Telling my experience with naturism appeared to

Function extremely nicely also. I still can not believe that in high school I did not feel

comfortable taking my top off at the shore, and now I am organizing a naturist

club at my university!
