I am Mexican and I grew up in a very prude home. Now, my husband and I would like to practice nudism more often, we are nude at home only whenever nobody else is around. We would like to become more open with our daughters but I am afraid of their reaction. When they were younger we used to be naked in front of them when taking a shower or when getting ready to leave home, but as they became teenagers they stopped showing themselves nude and we did the same. I really want them to understand that there is nothing wrong about nudity and I want them to grow confident and accepting their bodies. Any suggestions or experiences at home?

Something I’ve been contemplating and not sure I have an answer (if there is one). I know nudists have been wrestling with this for awhile:

What is the difference between nudist photos / videos and pornography?

Portrayal of a any sexual act would be one obvious answer. But does it end there?

A lot of the sites on the Internet claim to be nudist when, in reality, they are pornographic.

I’d be curious to hear everyone’s thoughts on this one.

I have enjoyed going nude ever since I can remember but certainly was never raised a nudist. It wasn’t uncommon to see my parents in their underwear but that’s it. When I was around 14 my parents caught me going nude and I explained to them that I like to be naked when there not home. They just told me to be careful when I do it and my dad told me to just make sure my mom was never around when I go bc it’s not acceptable to go naked around family but that was the end it. I continued going naked as much as I could and started going to the nude beach when I turned 17. Well today I went to the nude beach and when I was looking for a spot I passed my parents car….turns out I saw them on the beach from a far and they were naked. Not sure how I should approach the situation and if I should let them know I enjoy going to the beach too or just let it go. I stayed away from them and kind of hid that they because I was initially shocked and worried how they would react to seeing me there. I love going to the nude beach and go every opportunity I can. My parents also always talk about going to the beach, I just didn’t know until recently they also went to the nude beach. In addition, due to the dark all over tan it is evident they go to the nude beach often therefore, the chances of me seeing them there again are probably very good. I no longer live at home with them but was wondering how I should approach this situation and if I should let them know I enjoy going to the nude beach and being naked as often as possible. I personally think its very cool that my parents are also interested in nudism and wish I knew years ago because I would not have hid my nudism as much growing up. My only concern is how they will react if they see me there. My question is if an how I should approach this situation with my parents. Since it is the winter now, should I just try to bring up a casual conversation about enjoying being naked and going to the beach? Or should I wait until the summer and see if I run into them again at the beach… if I do should I hide? Or walk right up to them? Or go a less direct way and maybe “just so happen to be” walking by the water or getting out of the water when there doing the same and “accidentally” bump into them. That way we can all have an equal shock factor and possible discuss our mutual love for being at the nude beach. Please let me know what you think, all of your advice will be greatly appreciated

thanks

I know Vita Nuda has a Mid-Atlantic chapter but it seems to be inactive. Are there any other groups?

I need to find a nudist camp
