While in college, I went with some friends from my dorm to a beach just south of Santa Cruz. It was not a nude beach and my friends and I did not go nude, but there were several other people who were nude. It was apparent that the skinny dippers were having a good time and didn’t care who else saw them. This was a completely new concept for me. There was no “You show me yours and I’ll show you mine” quid pro quo, which is the way I understood nudist parks to function. The attitude was “I’m going nude because I enjoy it and everyone else can just deal with it.”
I did not go nude that day because I did not know what the attitude of my friends would be toward it. It wasn’t until a couple of years later when I had access to a car that I went to Bonny Doon Beach just north of Santa Cruz. I had gone alone that day but there were plenty of other people on the beach and most of them were nude. I didn’t have any major anxieties about taking my clothes off, but I was reassured to find that nobody was laughing and pointing and that I didn’t have any problems suppressing my level of arousal. I found that within a couple of minutes I was able to relax and just enjoy being on the beach. There were a whole new series of pleasant sensations such feeling the sun and the breeze all over my body and running along the beach and jumping in the water without a soggy bathing suit. The experience lived up to my expectations. Thereafter, I would visit nude beaches a few times each summer whenever the opportunity availed itself.
I eventually married a very proper lady who I met at church. I assumed at the time that we got engaged that I would be giving up nude beaches forever. Then, she told me about how she and her sister grew up skinny dipping in their backyard swimming pool. A few months after we were married, I took my wife to Red, White, & Blue Beach in California. It was her first time nude on a beach and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Now when we go on vacation, we seek out nude beaches and prefer to stay at nudist resorts. We now have a backyard swimming pool and use swimsuits only when we have visitors.

Being naked outside for the first time proved to be a real encounter.

had never felt a cool wind. All I can declare is
“WOW.” It felt so great that I needed more.

So I reversed the buttons all down the front. That let in more coolness, and I simply felt the “WOW even more powerful. My head simply said do it. So I
took off the top and there I was totally

I should stop messing around and simply declare
I’m now a nudist. I’ve consistently loved being
Naked whenever possible. Now I’m a nudist with
WOW, what a wonderful feeling!

At the office, my supervisor and coworker resided near the finest beach on Long Island and requested me to join his family for a beach day, so I concurred. It turned out to be a private beach, the town’s only resident shore. In minutes I saw people standing by a 10 foot totem pole, they all were nude and had long ponytails, along with a sign said “clothing optional.”

Not going, he said take it away and take pleasure in the waves. I did, as well as the blustery waves on my body proved to be a completely new life knowledge.

I’ve never become the same inhibited soul after that. Nature was a blast, there all the time, as well as the present was mine.

A number of years back, I began to be drawn to social nudity. I adored being naked since I was around 10. I needed to slip out of my pj’s when I slept, then slip back into them. Just a textile family.

Well, across the time that I turned 48 I determined I needed to understand more, and began browsing websites. AANR, etc. From this I discovered Hidden River Resort in north Florida.

I’d get information from the AANR website, and assorted Christian Nudist newsgroups, and then forwards that information to my wife.

We arrived and with plenty of trepidation, got a tour of the facilities.

Within only several minutes, I was undressed and feeling free. My wife yet went considerably slower.

We chose to walk the trails first. As we walked she inquired how I felt. “Is not it strange?” We afterward saw another naked couple, and nothing occurred! We said hello – and spoke a couple of minutes – and it was not unusual. It was truly quite natural.

We went back to the vehicle, and she freely undressed, and we walked to the outside showers. “Nude as jay birds.”

It was amazing – we spent a number of hours in the pool, hanging out as well as discussing. What an excellent day trip – excellent people, as well as the hostess was top notch!

If you arer worried about becoming aroused, or others seeing you – do not be. When you get your clothing away – we all seem the same!

Thanks AANR for the information you supplied. Thank you CNC as well as the other Christian newsgroups for helping us see that we can still have our beliefs – and enjoy social nudity.

Now – we are constantly looking forward to our next visits, and we are slowly introducing our relatives and buddies to the lifestyle.

We stopped to consider the ocean and understood we were above a nude beach. First, we saw a youthful and healthy couple. Subsequently we saw people who looked like me, old and not too appropriate.

I determined that I needed to skinny dip for the very first time in my adult life. My wife did not join me then.

Ever since then, we have joined AANR, seen clubs in the U.S. and Europe and I often skinny dip throughout the summer. I have discovered that if I swim early enough in the early hours, I ‘ve the lake to myself.

Before I begin writing anything else and before I discuss with you my story of my first nude beach encounter, I believe that I must say several things about the girlfriends I went with. These are my three best girlfriends that I’ve understood for a long time, ever since we began first grade. We stayed great girlfriends all these years and every year (when we can manage it), we go for a holiday down to Mexico and check out a fresh location each year. It’s been our little tradition for a few years now and we’ve had some crazy times south of the boundary. Nevertheless, this last year was actually something else. It was the very first time we went to a nudist beach and I only need to discuss our experience.
We initially believed that it’d only be another one of our excursions, all four of us were actually psyched to go and we actually wanted the holiday. Also, we chose to go someplace where we could actually kick back and relax without needing to bash all night long. We determined on a location called Riviera Maya that’s just south of Cancun, but in addition merely south enough to avoid all of the crowds that harass Cancun. When we got there, it absolutely was like heaven. Well, it was one of these areas. I really could recommend it to practically everyone.
And for a day or two, everything was going as intended. We were relaxing on the shores entire day long, went out for several drinks in the evenings and we were, if we’re fair, being a dull group. Actually, it was becoming a bit too dull. I mean we were still in our 20ies and however exhausted you get over the course of the year, you do need some pleasure when you go on a holiday. That’s when one of my girlfriends, Tyra, said that there’s a shore where nudists go, something of a combined shore at which it is possible to go either clothed or in the nude. This was something we never attempted before and we determined that it will be a great way to spice things up a bit. We also expected that there would be some men there that we could take a look at in the nude.
The very first thing that we noticed when we got to the shore is that everyone was in their swimming suits, guys, girls, everyone. As it turned out, this wasn’t true. The nudist section of the shore was a bit down the shore and we soon began seeing a growing number of folks enjoying their day in the seashore in the nude. There were ladies in topless, women which were completely bare and even a few extremely hot men all naked and showing off.
Then it hit us we were extremely self-conscious. I made the decision to give topless a go as well as the image which I sent you is only that. Tyra in the middle, all naked and without a care in the world.
The independence is intoxicating as well as the sun feels so fantastic on the nude skin.
