This may seem a little peculiar, but I first got interested in nudism once I was about ten years old. I read the Adam & Eve story and wondered what it’d be like to be nude outside. So I went out to a patch of woods near our house and took off my clothing.

It felt great with the sunlight and air on my naked body. I was hooked from then on.I still go for walks in the woods for a nude hike. I began going to a nudist camp in southwest PA called White Thorn Lodge. I am intending to join WhiteThorn Lodge this year.

I also have being to Avalon Resort in WV.They have a naked bike show there in the summertime. It’s almost always a great time.

Afraid, But For What?

Every summer from my late 20s to 30s I ‘d go to the office of Goodland in Hackettstown, NJ and ask all kinds of questions and chicken out and go home. Finally the year that I turned 40 I got brave enough to actually enter the gate and discover out what I was missing.

When I disrobed in the parking lot I felt totally relaxed. This really is the very first time which I went into the pool and let the suns rays dry me and felt the wind lightly caress my entire body. The feeling was quite refreshing.

Now I go to Rock Lodge with my fiance. Rock Lodge was her first experience. At Rock Lodge I experienced two firsts. It was the first time which I walked in the rain bare and I also had the opportunity to drive my car that way too. We find the people there to be very friendly and we feel quite relaxed there.

What I was afraid of I ‘ll never understand but I’m happy I took that first step several years past.

Proud To Be an Advocate

Having been exposed to nudist magazines as a kid, I always covered the delight of being naked. It wasn’t until I went off to college that I was able to actually join a club in Spokane, WA. What a thrill being able to be with other like minded individuals of all ages. Upon moving to Seattle I had the opportunity to join another club in which I attended monthly swims.

While I’m rather detached from the west side clubs and resorts here in Oregon, I more than ever committed to the nudist lifestyle and promote it every chance I get with relatives and buddies. I can not think of a better way to spend time residence or when the weather is fine outside. When you’ve tried it, you will never look back.

How My Wife Became a Nudist

I met my wife in 1961. We were married in 1963. I was hired by TWA in 1966. I picked San Francisco as my domicile. When we moved to California, we lived with Sharon’s mum until we located an apartment. We were hired to manage the building we lived in.

About 1968 we were listening to a radio show. The topic of the show was free beaches. I understood what they were but Sharon did not have a hint. I ‘d not brought up nudism with her since I had a bad experience with a previous girlfriend I tried to introduce to nudism.

Sharon asked (in a kidding way,)”You want to check that out, do not you?”

I said, “Sure!” She said not without her! I said, “Amazing!, let us do it!” The following week the show had people from nudist resorts talking about national naked weekend.

The host asked why people would go to a resort and pay earth fees when they could visit the free beaches. They gave several great reasons. Sharon said the resorts seemed better and if we go we’ll go there. I asked http://ournudism.com/young-nudist-video.html if she desired to go to Santa Cruz. We put on suits, shorts and t-shirts. On the way I pulled off to a side road. Sharon asked where I was going; I said it was a surprise. as soon as I pulled in to a drive, she asked again.

I told her it was a spot we heard about on the radio. She was uneasy. I mentioned since we were here let’s take the tour, that we did not have to stay. We took the tour, the guide said if we needed to stay drive in, take our clothes away and love! I was able to talk her into staying a half hour.

She asked if we needed to get naked right away. She said no, get comfy, than get naked.

We were nudists until she got cancer. Sharon passed away 9/ http://beach-photos.net /2001. Not a great day! I resumed nudism after her departure.

My First Nude Encounter

It was May 1960, I was a student at U of Ill.in Champaign. I ‘d been reading nudist magazines since I was in high school, beginning about 1950. At first I looked at the graphics, but after getting bored I began to read the magazines. I determined that someday I would want to be a nudist.

I joined the Air Force after I graduated from high school. I continued to purchase magazines while in the A.F. but at that time the law sometimes raided the nudist camps so I never tried to go. I was now free to go and I was in comfortable driving distance to a nudist camp, Zoro Nature Park.

I drove to the camp. as soon as I arrived the woman in the gate asked if I’d written to get permission to visit. I said no. She called the owner, Alois Knapp. He came to the gate, asked me if I was a nudist and how I understood about Zoro. I told him I had been reading nudist magazines for many years and wanted to become a nudist.

He let me go in the camp for the day but asked me if I had a girlfriend. I said yes, but she was at school in Rock Island, Ill. He said to bring her next time I came. I said I’d try. Following the spring session was over we both went home and resumed relationship. In around three weeks I requested Josie to go with me to this camp I’d visited in Indiana. I told her it was a real nice place, the folks were pleasant and friendly, there was a pond to swim in, volleyball courts, etc. I said I thought she would enjoy it.

She asked me what was this “nature park.” I told her there were trails through the woods. She kept asking to find out more and I eventually told her we could go skinny-dipping in the pond. When she learned that she asked if this place was a nudist colony.

In those days there was no Internet for advice so I had nothing to guide me to explain nudism to her. She called me a pervert, smacked my face and broke our relationship. Gee, I wish I’d understood the best way to explain nudism to her before asking her to join me for that visit to Zoro!
