When and how did you first tell your friends or parents you were into nudism ?
When did you first tell your friends or parents you were into nudism ? I was wondering when and how people first told their friends and parents that they were into nudism and what was the result of it. I had recently told people on facebook just because I think for me its less embarrassing that way and gives time to digest. Though I found out 2 of my friends even though one of them my find it awkward if was nude around them, that it would be okay in the end and the other friend actually is willing to join me when we both have time :) Parents and family.. eh not sure yet. Though I had a cousin say it was wrong because God told Adam and Eve to go make a sacrafice and wear the fur, though I explained that God made them naked and it wasn’t until they were ashamed taht it became an issue.
Melissa DejaNude I had an account but it’s now saying I don’t. I don’t know what to do to correct it.
oh and hows it comming with putting our articles on bare times?
o.O seriously? that doesn’t even answer the question. . .
Personally I’ve been surprised how well people have reacted when I told them. Some are as calm as if I had told them I like to bike ride. I’ve heard “Ok Cool.” The strongest reaction is usually just curiosity and interest. If it comes up I’ll mention it, though it often does these days. But I’m not nearly as guarded as I used to be or fearful of what people will say.
I’ve told all my friends over the years, and same reaction- curiosity, questions. Usually friends’ reactions loosely depend on what they already think they know about you, especially if they would never guess you’re into it. I have just one childhood friend who said she went into shock for 3 days, but she got over it! :P Ideally your own flesh and blood should be able to accept you and respect your interests. Mine have, but they’ve always known having raised me a nudist. So I never felt that fear of telling parents. Nudity is always such a big deal in U.S. culture, but IMHO people are overly cautious about telling others.

LikeDislikeBeing a lifetime nudist, family was not an issue, nor was it for most friends. Most newer friends we have express a little surprise (OMG! I met a nudist!?), and them pepper me with questions. Never had anyone turn a cold shoulder on me.

LikeDislikeSome of my family knows, but my parents don’t. My wife has an odd habit of “outing me” at times to her family and friends. Mostly just along the lines that I like skinny-dipping and laying out in the sun naked. She made that remark to her mother early on when we were dating, and her mother simply guessed that I was a nudist, and was fine with it. Not that she knew I was quite active with several clubs at the time.
