I am Geoff from Australia. I am 47 now, but, like you, realised that I was a nudist once I was in my early teens.

Our house was very small. I remember bathing with one of my brothers, Garry, right up to my early teens. My youngest brother, Ian, and sister Julie, who was younger still, additionally bathed together. At all other times, however, we wore clothes, though in the hot Aussie summers, it was frequently only shorts and undies. My sister always wore a shirt as well. I have never seen her nude.
I do remember all of us lads and dad showering nude in the dressing sheds at the seashore, and how often there were guys sunbaking bare in the open courtyard in the centre of the dressing pavillion. I did not believe anything was wrong with that. When I was 12, I was at high school and my class went to the shore for an trip. I remember one of my classmates (his name was Geoff also!) taking off his swimmers and skinny dipping in a stone pool. I wasn’t quite game enough to do that, but I did have a really powerful desire to swim nude.
While I didn’t swim nude, I did sleep nude. I’d wear pyjamas to bed, then take them off. They constantly looked worn because I Had shove them down below the covers.

I was never comfortable if I need to sleep in pyjamas.
I didn’t know anything about nudism, and wondered whether I was strange or something, but I started to go naked at home when everyone else was out. I nearly got caught naked by an elderly man who used to see us often. I had actually gone out the back door nude (it was early evening), and I needed to dart back inside immediately, shut the door, and act like no one was view !
Another thing I did was to go to bed after than anyone else. It became my job to lock up the back door during the night before going to bed. I used this as a chance to be naked, even in the centre of winter. I adored being naked under the stars! Occasionally, I Had walk or run round the block nude (I Had have been about 15-17 when I did this). It was a little daring, going by the houses of all neighbours who knew me so well, with not a stitch on! That was a real rush – someone had seen me! I’d never had the guts (unlike other young people whose stories are on this website) to tell my parents I liked to go bare. We camped in the grounds of the neighborhood Catholic primary school and there were a number of beaches nearby. One night, wearing only a pair of Speedo swimmers, I went out by myself to one of young family nudists . I quickly took them away, and ran into the water nude. It was amazing! I chose to remain naked after completing my swim, and walked up from the shore to the nearby road. It was probably about 11pm, so I thought I’d go for a jog in the nude. I made the decision to put my swimmers down in a location I’d remember, so I really could chicken out. It was such a buzz! Would you consider I accidentally jogged past the Police Station in the nude? Again, a couple of car motorists honked, but streakers were pretty common then!
I first went nude in front of others of my age at a nude beach when going to University, and that was generally a very positive experience. It was likewise great to see that there were girls who enjoyed being bare too!

First time bare in public? That’s a good question.

So young that I can not recall. My maternal grand-parents were practical and frugal, and that place the approach towards clothes. Don’t get your clothes dirty.
As a young child, I had a vitamin D insufficiency, and there were two options, cod liver oil (yuk) and more sunshine. Since sun was free and my parents did not have to drive me to take it, playing nude was the alternative.
As a kid I didn’t have a bathing suit or a tuxedo. “Why purchase something that you’ll barely ever use?” Visiting the shore proved to be a special occasion, possibly two times per year, and when we did, it absolutely was to one end of the beach. Father went in the water in his panties. Granny brought another house-dress to wear in the water. Grandpa, my brother and myself went in the water nude but dressed on the shore.
Would you believe that my family was very spiritual at this time? They were, but “small apparel” meant do not flaunt your wealth, not conceal what God created, your body. When I was a teenager/young adult there were lots of locations in the Lower Mainland that we would go to and bash and skinny dip, but the majority of them have become regional parks now. My first wife didn’t have a problem with nudity, she’d strip anytime and anywhere. I was overly conservative.
When I was dating my second wife, Germaine, I in encouraged her to Wreck Beach. The response was “I Will go, but I am wearing a bathing suit.” While pursuing one of my sons, she fell out of her top, and away it arrived. About 10 minutes after, “What the hell.” and off came the rest. The following year the climb/hike became a problem for Germaine, so we looked for a nudist club. We located and joined the old Sunny Trails Club in Surrey, and have been part of ordered nudism ever since.
We’re likely not authentic Nudists/ Naturists because we truly believe that nakedness is natural and not sexual. They really do not, or there won’t be sexy moms on beach to prove that it isn’t. Do not do this or that, or don’t wear this or that, because it might seem to be sexual. More on this at an other time.

I never believed I will manage to go naked on a beach

Before I start writing anything else and before I discuss with you my story of my first nude beach encounter, I feel that
I need to say several things about the girlfriends I went with. These are my three best girlfriends that I’ve known for years, ever since we began first grade. We stayed good girlfriends all these years and every year (when we can afford it), we go for a vacation down to Mexico and check out a fresh area each year. It has been our little tradition for a couple of years now and we’ve had some crazy times south of the boundary. Yet, this last year was actually something else. It was the first time we went to a nudist beach and I just need to share our experience.
We initially believed that it would just be another one of our excursions, all four of us were really psyched to go and we really wanted the vacation. Furthermore, we decided to go somewhere where we could actually kick back and relax without having to party all night long. We decided on a location called Riviera Maya which is just south of Cancun, but in addition merely south enough to avoid all the crowds that harass Cancun. When we got there, it was like paradise. Well, it was one of these spots. I really could recommend it to virtually everyone.
And for a couple of days, everything was going as planned. We were relaxing on http://crazypublic.com , went out for several drinks in the evenings and we were, if we’re honest, being a boring bunch. Actually, it was becoming a bit too tedious. I mean we were still in our 20ies and no matter how tired you get over the course of the year, you do want some fun when you go on a vacation. That’s when one of my girlfriends, Tyra, said that there is a shore where nudists go, something of a mixed shore at which it’s possible to go either clothed or in the nude. This was something we never tried before and we determined that it would be a good way to spice things up a bit. We also hoped that there would be some men there that we could check out in the nude. You never know, right?
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 was not the case. The nudist section of the beach was a bit down the shore and we soon began discovering a growing number of folks enjoying their day at the seashore in the nude. There were women in topless, girls that were totally bare and even a few extremely hot men all naked and showing off.
Then it hit us we were extremely shy. Or at least three of us were. Tyra was naked before we could put our towels down and I can inform you that it was a glorious sight to see her in all her curvy goodness all bare and not worrying about a matter. I decided to give topless a go and also the image that I sent you is just that. Tyra in the middle, all naked and without a care in the world.
The freedom is intoxicating and the sun feels so fantastic on the naked skin.

To swim carefree in this world. in para- dice.

The shores in the sun. The feeling of the atmosphere on my body along with the coolness of the clear clean salt waters of the carabean ocean were beyond words. to walk in the most natural and free way possible, like it was supposed to be be. With no soul to attention. their were hundreds others around
but they also were swimming carefree in this amazing area, watching schools of fish swim by, and talking to each other like they were best friends. Others were outside walking on nude beach pictures of the shore. We were talking and unashamed, floating and swimming easily in the lovely blue waters of the bay, the sun warming us with its extreme life giving rays from above. Gone were the issues I have had in the past using a swimsuit filling up with air and sand and binding in the worst potential of manners. It was wonderful not to need to sit in a soggy swimsuit for a change. Walking down the shore couldn’t have been simpler because even though we all seemed a little different, we were all really the same, without any racial, social or sexual barriers to beat.
My wife on the other hand was a bit uneasy to say the least. Inside my heart I know she would have loved it if she would have tried it, but there were too many dilemmas for her to conquer before she could justify discarding her body armor. In case you enjoy you could blame it on age, you could attribute it on her self image. You could say it is the taboos someone has drilled into her head for a long time, that the body is poor, and seeing it is a sin,or something. ( I actually don’t actually know anywhere that this is backed up by facts!)
You could say she is a little set in her manners or a little hard headed. You could say she just believed nude was coarse and lewd, and consistently sexual in content. I figure I’m blessed to join the 10% or so who may be a little more amenable to these not so new thoughts.
The Natural One

My first time naked in public wasn’t meant to be public. I was a young man about 18 years old, and had loved

being nude for a number of years – but only when I was alone.
This summerday, I went to a remote beach, and walked to a distant spot and stripped naked.

I was laying down, and reading a book, when a girl – about 30 years old and her 5-6 year old kid came walking.
I was brought up with the thought, that nudity was OK for girls, but that a man without clothing was awful or offending. So I was fearful, the girl should be upset, when she saw that I was naked. So I was very quite surprised, when she chose to put her towel just 5 meters away from me, when there were plenty of other areas to chose.
She wore a bathing suit and lay down to read, without paying much attention to me. I was laying still on my belly wondering how to mowe, without giving her a view of my private parts. After some time, the child began playing with a ball and trying to get me interested in the ball. The mom asked if http://voy-zone.com/nudist-video-sample.html was disturbed by the youngster, and I denied.
It isn’t simple to play ball, when you are lying on your tummy, so after a while, I gave up my modesty, and sat up, playing ball with the kid. As I sat there, with legs apart, the girl could see all, but that didn’t offend her. She grinned at me, and was clearly glad, that I entertained her kid.
That afternoon I discovered, that some women are not offended by a naked man, along with the experience gave me the kick to start being naked, also when not alone.

History of Tanning

In ancient history, tanning was considered a noxious commerce and relegated to the outskirts of town, amongst the poor. The ancients used leather for water skins, http://x-public.com , harnesses, boats, armor, quivers, scabbards, boots, and sandals. Around 2500 BC, the Sumerians started using leather, affixed by copper studs, on chariot wheels. Tanners would take an animal skin and soak it in water. Subsequently they’d thump and scour the skin to eliminate flesh and fat. Next, either they soaked the skin in urine to loosen hair fibers or they let the skin putrefy for several months, after which they dipped the skin in a salt solution. After the hair fibers were loosened, the tanners would scrape them off with a knife. Once the hair was removed, tanners would bate the material by pounding dung into the skin or soaking the skin in a solution of animal brains. They’d also take cedar oil, alum, or tannin and stretch the skin as it lost moisture and absorbed the tanning agent. Leftover leather would be turned into paste. Tanners would place scraps of hides in a vat of water and allow them to deteriorate for months. The mixture would then be placed over a fire to boil off the water to make hide paste.

My Personal Story

I wasn’t produced into a nudist family and consequently http://x-pot.com was taught that one should not go around without their clothes on. Being naked in front of others was okay only in particular scenarios (Doctor’s office, locker rooms, school showers, or other areas where changing clothes was appropriate) and just for the short time it was required. One simply didn’t walk around nude in mixed company.

As a child I went to a summer camp which was run by my Father and once a week we’d “Scrub”. Normally we wore out bathing suits when we swam in the lake, but on “Scrub Day” we took soap to the lake and left our suits in the cabins. As this is the only way we could actually wash, and since it was an all boys’ camp, the required nudity was acceptable. Because I CAn’t swim I did not like going to the lake in any way. As far as I was concerned being being naked with the other lads was not the problem being at the lake was.
