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.

I’ve been to family naturist homes and realized that kids are not as clean and sanitary as most adults who are accustomed to wiping themselves after using the potty or sitting on a towel. This makes me wonder how do you properly train a child to keep clean and learn the “nude beach etiquette” mannerisms while growing up in a family naturist household? It seems this would be another principle to drill into the child and watch over constantly until he/she reaches the age of maturity. Are there any key tricks of the trade you can recommend?

What about outside of the home at family nudist resorts…I’d hate to have to discipline my child for not sitting on a towel when visiting a resort. It just seems so silly even though it serves a greater purpose.

In the meantime, what methods of discipline do you recommend for something like that? My parents used to pull my pants down and spank my bare bottom when I was a child which appears to be much more of an advantage for naturist parents. Friends of mine used to recommend that I wore extra layers if panties when I knew I was going to get a good spanking, let’s just say no child is perfect.

I am a new naturist mom who has the desire to raise my child in a naturist family. From time to time I hear both pros and cons about the struggles kids face while trying to be “normal” along with the pros where these same kids don’t have to battle with image complexes. What effects will social nudity have on my child while raising him in a naturist family?

What’s the funniest or worst reaction you’ve ever gotten from telling someone I’m a nudist / naturist / like to go naked

Sometimes it’s not easy to predict what others might say..What’s the funniest or worst reaction you’ve ever gotten?
In my own experience I’ve heard a variety of responses, from “Oh. That’s cool” to “I went into shock for 3 days.”
How bout you?

learn about nudism – Is there a safe site where I can learn about nudism that does not contain porn? I am a family man and  don’t want to end up on a site that has sex videos, porn ads or other links referencing porn sites while my children are nearby the computer.
