Living Life in the Buff: It’s Not as Hard as You Might Think
Some men may find it a rare treat to be able to get naked with others. Vacations are usually when people drop their drawers to swim or visit a naturist resort. However, why does it have to be a rare occasion? We found this article, “Living Naked Daily” on nudeandhappy.com, which shares ways to get naked more often.
I am often asked if it is possible to live naked daily. Unless you live all year round in a naturist center, the question is not incongruous. It is also not trivial in terms of its consequences, because, the world outside our home is not naturist and may not be welcoming to nudity. However, living naked on a daily basis is a possibility, and minimizing your dressed periods to the strict minimum is doable. Here are the ideas that I implement and that you can in turn make your own.
The House Is a Naturist Area:
This is the first place for a naturist who wants to enjoy the comfort of nudity on a daily basis. Your home is often the place where you can experience simple nudity with confidence. You get used to walking around naked. We reclaim this body that society forces us to hide under clothes – and some sexualize – by showing a piece of skin. Living naked at home, at least at first, is a reappropriation of our simplest being.
Naked, you can also see yourself in mirrors, in the reflections of a window or a shiny surface. This body often surprises us. We also see its flaws, the ones we liked to ignore. Living naked is a bit like cleaning up the Augean stables. Accept our scars as traces on our life path. Living naked at home means finding comfort and a freedom that children know well without being aware of it. Living naked at home is to bring to the surface a portion of our carelessness.
Some put a sign at the entrance. A funny reminder for some, injunction for others, the message is simple and can help to launch the debate on naturism.
But what if you live in a cold house or if, in winter, you don’t want to overheat for obvious ecological reasons? A bathrobe and a pair of slippers will suit the naturist. And then, it is important to accept that the garment must regain its primary function, which is to protect us. Let’s not become fundamentalists of naturism, but let’s take every comfortable opportunity to ditch our clothes.
Nature is Naturist:
What could be nicer than swimming naked in a lake or river on a hot summer day? Naturism derives part of its benefits from respect for nature and our environment. Nature and naturism go hand in hand. An animal, a forest, a mountain will have no problem with your nakedness. It only shocks the one who considers it shocking.
A walk in the forest or in the mountains is naturist, that is to say, can be practiced naked. A day at the beach is naturist, that is, can be spent naked. I always thought nature called for nudity. By discovering naked hiking, this fact became obvious. Undressing in the fresh air, at the beach, in the forest, in the mountains, becomes commonplace when nudity becomes our new normal.
You want to give it a try, but don’t dare? Here is a little tip. On a day when you are planning a hike and have a chance to have a swim in a lake or river, do not take a bathing suit. Once on the banks, propose to skinny dip and stay naked to dry yourself. This little trick helps introduce naturism to friends and demystifies social nudity. It takes a bit of courage the first time, but when you realize that everything is going well, nudity becomes a habit.
Another way to experience nudity outdoors is to join a group of naked hikers. Surrounded by experienced naturists, your initiation will take place in good conditions and you will discover a New World.
Millions of Naturists:
If living naked is an idea that stirs your mind, realize that you are not alone. There are millions of naturists around the world. Some are only naturist on vacation, others throughout the year. The reason is simple: nudity is comfortable, healthy and natural.
It reminds me of my discovery of naked hiking. I had started hiking naked alone and was questioning this practice. And then one day, I found out that there were other naked hikers, as well as groups. There was also a book on naked hiking.
It goes with hiking like many other naturist activities. We are millions to live and share our naturism. Many readers of this blog are naturists who live naked whenever possible. Explaining this reality to textiles is a difficult task, but necessary to legitimize this magnificent lifestyle that is naturism. Living naked is not an aspiration shared by all naturists. However, to try is often to adopt, without looking back, as the physical, psychological and emotional comforts prevail.
Get Naked, Stay Naked, Live Naked and Share the Naked Love!
Unfortunately, though I had the unpleasant experience of being fined by a ranger on what is now a former nude beach. There was no one else around to offend; he came upon me by surprise.
That’s unfortunate, luckily the places we can go (legally) seems to be expanding (slowly). Thanks for taking the time to write to us! -Darren
Same thing happened to me on Fire Island, NY, which had had clothing optional beaches for 40+years – out $275! The ranger was one of these newbies, eager to prove himself – probably beats women in his private life – jerk.
I, personally, absolutely LOVE being naked as often as possible… whether alone, or (preferrably) with others.
Being naked outdoors is freedom, not only physically, but mentally, and right into your soul.
I grew up with a good friend, David, with whom I used to get naked as often as possible as a pre-teen and teenaged guy. At home (whether at his home or mine), when others were home, we’d be naked in his or my room (it being risky… meaning whomever else was home could walk in and catch us at any time… was even more exciting… and, that was whether we were innocently playing, or not-so-innocently “playing together”!). If no one else was home, we’d enjoy the freedom of being naked together throughout the entire house.
We both had newspaper routes (delivering the local daily newspaper), and would meet up at a favourite place outdoors where we’d strip down (sometimes strip each other), and romp around in the woods and swim in the duck pond bare-assed (and often, “playing together”) for an hour or more of pure freedom.
We were in Boy Scouts together way back when, and always longed for the wee-long and two-week-long camping trips, where we’d, as often as possible, sneak away for naked time together. We’d do our best to arrange to be in the same tent together. We’d talk (fantasize together) quite often about wishing we could get the other Scouts in our troop to join us in naked fun.
Those are just some of the experiences I had back then…
Having had many other nude veetures throughout my life has been rewarding, but not nearly often enough. It’s such a damned shame that Society has put a pox on being naked publicly… something that should be viewed and embraced as natural, not shameful!
At my age of 58, we have a pool and spa behind our home. I enjoy the being out in them, naked and free, and even do enjoy the risk aspect of people seeing me… and hopefully enjoying the view!
Very nice lance. I wish we could have more places he nc to be nude and roam nude.
Thanks for the stories.
Nice story Lance.
