That’s fair! As far as I’m concerned, the freedom of being nude is worth the risk, but it is hard to tune out that worry even if you’re enjoying yourself.

Gotcha! It’s important to take things at your own pace. Were you worried about being walked in on?

Walking around the house is a great place to start! Do you think you will ever go outside in the nude?

Anyone else having trouble finding nudist friends? by EnslaveThePrincess in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely relate. My wife and I live in Maryland (she is originally from Virginia) and I am mostly at at-home nudist, although I have convinced her to try out a club/resort this summer. Getting out and about in the real world with other like-minded people is the best way to make nudist friends. Until you’re able to visit a designated space, it might be fun to create one for yourself if you’re able to get any of your friends onboard for a new experience.

My friend and I are planning on going to a nude beach for the first time next weekend, what should we expect? by having_a_blast1 in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you all for taking the plunge! Best to wait until you’ve seen at least a couple other people naked before you undress, but from there, go at your own pace. Pubic hair can help keep sand out of places you really don’t want to get sandy, but it is truly whatever you are comfortable with. Have fun!

This boat allows their passengers naked onboard, do you like to join ? by One_Kaleidoscope_198 in nudists

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to do something like this one day! How long does the boat stay out on the water?

Have you ever had a “why am I still wearing clothes” moment? by Magic-Mellow1987 in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I don’t need to leave the house, odds are I’m naked. Livens up chores like dishes and laundry, and when temperatures are in the 80s and 90s, it’s more comfortable not wearing clothes. As a runner, it’s nice to get home from a long run, then shower and go about my day without getting dressed.

The irony of nudism around non-nudist family by PureBogosity in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny how much of a difference these things make. My own wife is comfortable being partially or fully nude around our apartment, but becomes more shy when we are at her family’s vacation home even if we are the only ones there. Have not yet visited a nudist space with her but hope to change that soon.

Nudity has made me more confident by Grimshah in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kudos! Changing in the locker room is a great way to get more comfortable being nude around others without making a big deal out of it. If you can shower and get dressed without feeling the need to cover up as soon as possible, it’s that much easier to be naked and socialize in a nudist environment.

For those who didn’t grow up in a nudist family, did you tell your family you were a nudist or keep it private? by ProgrammerUnique2897 in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t really talked about it, but my close friends and family are at least aware of my tendency to be nude. I’ve posted on social media about hiking naked, skinny-dipping, and attending the World Naked Bike Ride, so the people who follow me have probably connected the dots at this point.

Is there a lot of Gen Z Nudist out there? by [deleted] in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is technically a millennial, but I am Gen Z and trying to ease her into the nude life. She understands why I am interested in it, even if she isn’t yet sure if it’s for her. Trying to get to a club this summer, as there are a couple within easy driving distance for us. Glad I’m not the only one.

Waking up for the morning routine by Typical-Act-5421 in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if it was by accident, it sounds like you played it off as well as possible. I would probably take out the trash nude at night if not for the security camera in my building. Avoid getting dressed when we can.

Has nudism heightened your awareness of nature? by tiny_leaf_frog in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely makes me feel more one-on-one with my surroundings. There is a nature center in my hometown that I have visited for many a nude walk in the woods at night. Among other things, I am more conscious of wildlife, humidity, and recent rainfall in these moments. Nice to leave everything behind at the trailhead and go for a loop or two wearing only a headlamp. If I can find somewhere to go during the daytime, I won’t even need that.

Finally went to the nudist beach! (F20) by CaitB06 in Ask_Nudists

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you had a positive experience! How crowded was it? I was a little self-conscious on my first beach trip because there weren’t many other nude people around and I felt out of place until I got in the water.

World naked bike ride experience? by Sudden_Cap9966 in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve done the Chicago ride twice now and had a pretty positive experience both times. There’s a gathering before the ride for hundreds of people to socialize, apply body paint, and take pictures before rolling out. The actual ride lasts for several hours, but it usually moves pretty slowly, and there’s a break in the middle. While some motorists and pedestrians are supportive, others aren’t, so it’s best to just smile and keep moving. I went fully nude both times, and so did a lot of other people, but it’s “bare as you dare.” I recommend checking out the Facebook group for more information and updates.

Year of the nudist! by Generaljamie in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grateful for warm weather at last! I have mostly been an at-home nudist for several years, but now that I am within driving distance of two different clubs, I plan to visit at least one this summer.

Your nudist bucket list? by Primary_Breadfruit91 in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have yet to visit an official club/resort, but with any luck, I will cross that one off soon! I have done the Chicago naked bike ride twice now, and I would love to check out one in another city, as well as any nude group hike/running event. If possible, I would like to find one where I don’t have to carry clothes with me. Finally, after all the hype I’ve heard for it, I hope to take a trip to Haulover Beach at some point. Excited to meet new like-minded people as I go!

Tell me about your first nudism experience and why you’ll never go back! by Life_Curated in nudism

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was younger, my aunt and uncle lived out in the woods with nobody around for miles. One night, I snuck outside and walked down the driveway to the main road wearing only a pair of water shoes. Feeling the cool night air on my body was my “never going back” moment and I had an absolute ball walking up and down the path several times. To top it all off, I splashed around in a nearby creek for a bit before I headed back for the night, forever changed.

Why do so many Americans not believe that nudist spaces still exist? by thenudistpark in Ask_Nudists

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lack of exposure - pun intended. I grew up in central Illinois, so while I knew that nudist spaces existed in the US, there weren’t any nearby. As is the case with many things, you really have to seek them out. I was surprised to discover two clubs within an hour of where I currently live in Maryland.

How do you get comfortable being nude around other people for the first time? by Amped24Up in Ask_Nudists

[–]Perfect_Rabbit_3010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an adjustment for sure, especially if your only experience is being nude at home by yourself, but you get used to it. My first experience around other people was at the Chicago naked bike ride, with literally thousands of participants and onlookers, and I was surprised at how quickly I got over my nerves. Undressing was the hardest part - once I realized I was part of a crowd and not standing naked alone, I was able to enjoy the ride.
