I went to a beach resort in Montego Bay with two of my girl friends. To go we have to buy a pass which gives you access to any or all the water sports, tennis and food.A male, I was in the business of two of my girl friends who worked with me. We played tennis and then had a swim and couple of drinks. One of my buddies and I kept walking towards the end of the seashore and there was a signal “clothing-optional.” My friend told the other girl, “Let’s go,” and she said she’d join as soon as she finished her bites.
My pal, as she was from Europe, promptly took her clothes off and asked me to do the same. I was shocked for some time and told her that I’ve never done this before and was not comfortable. So she gave me the space to be be cozy.
There were many other nudist couples and groups, also few families. I was the only one with clothes on. So I decided to take a daring step. I went in the water with my pal and took my swim pants away. The feeling of being without clothes felt wonderful.
My buddy came out of the water but again my real job was to come out naked out of the water and in front of everyone. Finally, I took a courageous step and came out and my buddy waved her hands toward me and said, “Great job. Eventually you did it.”
The couple next to us and other family welcomed me to the family. No one laughed and I felt more comfortable. As soon as the breeze tickled my body, it made me feel amazing.
In a couple of minutes our other friend came and congratulated me for becoming a nudist. The three of us spent lots of time on the beach nude and did many nudist actions: swimming, snorkeling, jet skiing, etc. Every time now we go to Jamaica we go to the nude beach.
Once our boat went to St. Martinand we went to http://x-nudism.com and spent an amazing time there. A couple more friends have joined us.

Young Nudist
Naked swim began at 8 years old. I was at a youth centre, we went to a lake, I had no suit like other lads, so staff said go in naked, and I have loved it since 1973. I’m still a nudist at age 46 years young.

New to Nudism
My wife and I went on a cruse to the Caribbean in 2007. While there our tour took us to a beach. It was a nude beach and being unsure as shy could be, I left my trunks on. I believed my wife was bashful also, but not as much as I thought. She couldn’t get nude fast enough with the approach that no one would ever see us again, or even care. So, I tried it too. We both believed the same weight lift off our shoulders as is often described and discovered ourselves looking for other nude beaches on our trip.
This continued after we got back home. We additionally found San Onofre and then Glen Eden and others. I wish we experienced this 30 years ago. It’s difficult to describe just how eye-opening and clear life becomes. Largely we have met great folks and have begun to live life again.
My favorite storyline!: So our kids (one son and one daughter) were not so pleased with our new recreational activities, going as far as threatening us to not see our grandkids. They wanted us checked out for mental issues. So as we meet with a Dr. Psychiatrist in Santa Ana, one our son lined up, we found out he is a lifetime nudist, raised in this environment and has vacationed at nudist resorts in Vermont. His wife was quite nudist as she’d rarely wear clothing at all. Our kids were so shocked! They weren’t quite pleased again.
They have come to the shore as well as a resort with us and carefully checked out who was there and how they responded to other nudists. Our kids have since become buffs also; merely quite amusing to us.

First Time when I was Young
My parents have been nudist for a long time and the first time they took me was when I was 11. We’d just moved to Austin and we went to the Hippy Hole area by the lake. When we got there, we saw tons of people — young and old — sunning and swimming naked. We were bare all the time in my home. I had simply never seen other people naked. My parents removed their clothing and set up a towel near the water.
Then they said I could stay dressed if I wanted. Not wanting to be left out, I took my clothes off also. The fresh air felt amazing on my naked skin. We spent a couple of hours there swimming and talking to people. There were other kids my age too and I spent time with two men and a lady who was 12. They told me their families had been coming there for years. I had a great time. My parents and I went back every chance we got. We also got to know other families and spent time with them at our houses, bare of course. We’d show up, take off our clothing, and do whatever people do at dinner parties and BBQs. I now do that with my wife and children.

Saved our union
Ten years ago my lovely wife and I were in a slump in our marriage. We were both 40 and needed something to shake it up. A pal of mine suggested we see a nudist camp near our town. I thought it sounded like fun and suggested it to my wife. She was reluctant at first but figured why not? So we booked a cabin and seen on Sat morning. I have no problem being nude in front of folks, but my wife is VERY shy. We checked into our cottage and proposed we go sit by the pool. I undressed but it took my wife half an hour to work up the nerve. Eventually, she did. She wrapped a towel around herself and we left the cottage. I just taken my towel at my side and appreciated the fresh air as we walked to the pool. I nearly laughed at my wife’s absolute nervousness as we passed a couple of nude people. They were all friendly and said hi but she never looked at them. She just hung her head down. When we got to the pool, there were only five people: Three guys and two girls. My lovely wife and I sat on the loungers and she kept her towel on. It took another 30 minutes before my wife finally removed her towel and sat absolutely nude. I thought she looked so magnificent sitting there without anything on. Practically as soon as she was nude, a couple walked around. I could tell my wife desired to grab the towel and cover herself, but she didn’t. I was proud of her. We spoke to them for about an hour and after awhile I really could tell my wife was more relaxed with her state of undress. In fact she even got up and walked around with the other woman to get a drink at the snack bar. It was so surreal seeing her naked walking in a public setting like that. It was also as if I were seeing her for the very first time through other people’s eyes. Later when we returned to our cottage, we had the best time we have had in years. Since that time, we’re frequent visitors to that camp and even spend our time at home naked. Becoming a nudist saved our marriage.
