This may appear a bit odd, but I first got interested in nudism when I was about ten years old. I read the Adam & Eve story and wondered what it’d be like to be naked 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 bare body. I was hooked from then on.I still go for walks in the woods for a nude hike. I started going to a nudist camp in southwest PA called White Thorn Lodge. I’m planning to join WhiteThorn Lodge this year.

I also have being to Avalon Resort in WV.they’ve a nude bike show there in the summertime. It is almost always a great time.

Afraid, But For What?

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

as soon as I disrobed in the parking lot I felt totally relaxed. This is the first time which I went into the pool and let the suns rays dry me and felt the breeze gently caress my entire body. The feeling was quite refreshing.

Today 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 that I walked in the rain nude and I also had the chance to drive my car that way too. We locate the people there to be somewhat friendly and we feel quite relaxed there.

What I was afraid of I will never understand but I’m happy I took that first step many 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 really join a club in Spokane, WA. What a delight having the ability to be with other like minded folks of all ages. Upon moving to Seattle I had the chance to join another club in which I attended monthly swims.

While I am kind of isolated from the west side clubs and resorts here in Oregon, I more than ever consecrated to the nudist lifestyle and promote it every chance I get with family and friends. I can’t think of a better way to spend http://modestperson.com or when the weather is fine outside. Once you have 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 chose San Francisco as my domicile. When we moved to California, we lived with Sharon’s mom 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 subject of the show was free beaches. I knew what they were but Sharon didn’t have a hint. I had not brought up nudism with her since I had a poor experience with a past girlfriend I attempted to introduce to nudism.

Sharon asked (in a kidding way,)”You want to check that out, don’t you?”

I mentioned, “Sure!” She said not without her! I said, “Amazing!, let’s do it!” The next week the show had people from nudist resorts talking about national nude weekend.

The host asked why folks would go to a resort and pay ground fees when they could go to the free beaches. They gave several good reasons. Sharon said the resorts sounded better and if we go we’ll go there. I asked her if she desired to visit Santa Cruz. We put on suits, short pants 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. When I pulled in to a drive, she inquired again.

Visit our siteI told her it was a spot we heard about on the radio. xxx nudists was uneasy. I said since we were here let us take the tour, that we didn’t have to stay. We took the tour, the guide said if we needed to stay drive in, take our clothes off and enjoy! I was able to talk her into staying a half hour.

She inquired if we needed to get bare right away. She said no, get cozy, than get bare. We drove in, I got nude, but Sharon did not right away. It took her no time to take all her clothing away. She said she felt out of place with her clothing on.

We were nudists until she got cancer. Sharon passed away 9/11/2001. Not a great day! I resumed nudism after her departure.

My First Nude Experience

It absolutely 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 becoming bored I began to read the magazines. I decided that someday I’d like 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 occasionally 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 at the gate inquired 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 knew about Zoro. I told him I ‘d been reading nudist magazines for many years and needed to be 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 that I came. I said I would attempt. Following the spring session was over we both went home and restarted dating. In about three weeks I asked Josie to go with me to this camp I’d visited in Indiana. I told her it was a real fine spot, the people were pleasant and friendly, there was a pond to swim in, volleyball courts, etc. I said I thought she’d love 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 information so I had nothing to guide me to describe nudism to her. She called me a pervert, slapped my face and broke our relationship. Gee, I wish I had known the way to describe nudism to her before asking her to join me for that trip to Zoro!
