My Unexpected Journey to Naturism

​

This blog is as big of a surprise to me as anyone.  First of all, I have never written a blog before, which may be apparent. But more importantly, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought Id be writing about how I started my Naturist journey!

A short background and you will quickly understand that statement.  I am 55 years old and have lived my whole life starting with my childhood, extremely conservative & modest. I don't remember ever seeing my parents or sister naked.  When I started dating my ex-husband at 15, my body became an 'opportunity' for his 'jokes', which I dealt with throughout the 35 year marriage.  All of that combined,  led me to a life of hiding myself, both emotionally AND physically.  Never in the 35yr marriage did my ex ever see me fully naked outside of a couple of hospital stays.  Any 'intimacy' was done under covers in a completely dark room.  Any time I changed/showered there were at least 2 locked doors, sometimes 3, between me and ANYone else...including him.  

 

And THEN, I met the love of my life.  The man who is safe for me in every way, mentally, emotionally and physically.  After years of extreme gentle patience  with me, I slowly started to rest in the safety of his love.    I knew naturism was something he had experienced some at different beaches and that he desired to experience it in other areas of his life.  While I was 100% supportive of him, I didn't think I 'could' ever get there.  I thought I'd be the girl in the swimsuit at the clothing optional places while he was au natural.  I also knew he would be supportive in that decision, and loved me no matter what I decided.

Fast forward a little and I quickly found myself not only being 'ok' living life naked at home and in our back yard, but longing to experience the freedom in other places as well.

I'm certainly new to this, as I have only been to a nude lake park twice so far, but I can tell you, it has been such a transformational experience for me. I simply can't wait for my next  opportunity.

It's not about my body.  There will always be parts of my body I wish I could change, and honestly other parts I could change if I put in the work.  But, if/when I do, it will be for me. It will not to 'feel more comfortable' in the naturist events and locations. Naturism to me is a place to be safe and free in your 'right now'.  To experience life in its fullest, without judgement or self-consciousness.  

 

So if you are on the fence about this lifestyle.  Let me encourage you to focus on those you love, focus on the new friendships that are waiting for you. Focus on the nature around you. You may be amazed how much freedom you experience when you do.

As for me, I plan to wholly embrace this beautiful lifestyle in every way possible. I've wasted enough time trying to just live through the days of my life. It's time to put LIFE into all of the years I have left.  

I hope to see you out there soon, in whatever state of dress you are comfortable in!
