Nekkid time!

**Texinator** · 05-24-2010 09:37 PM

Don't know why this popped into my naughty mind.. but it did, so I might as well ask y'all about it.

Anywho, how comfortable or uncomfortable are you with your body and with being nude around others?

Do you freak whenever ANYBODY sees you or do you at least let your SO have a peek? Are you fine around family? Friends? Or do you dream of the day when it's warm enough to visit the nude beach again?

I was just thinking about how I would have been fine with running around nekkid 24/7 when I was a little kid, willy flapping in the wind, but for some unknown reason suddenly had the exact opposite attitude from about 8 to maybe 12 or 13. Even a doc seeing me naked would freak me out then.

Now? I'm not exactly itching to cause emotional distress and retinal injury to the people around me, but at least I'm fine again with the doc taking a peek, and a girlfriend wanting to have nekkid time is always welcomed.

HA!

Interesting thread.

As a teenager I was terrified of the thought of anyone seeing my body. I couldn't imagine what it would some day be like to have a boyfriend and be all nekked with him.

At around age 19 something finally clicked (or... misfired) in my brain, and I was suddenly extremely comfortable being naked when intimate with someone. About 3 years later I went to my first "bath house" thing that they have in some countries, where you basically get naked and get into pools, saunas, etc, all together with a bunch of strangers and/or friends. And I was perfectly comfortable in that environment.

I wouldn't mind visiting a nude beach at some point, because the thing is that, when EVERYone is naked, it's no longer strange, and nobody actually cares about your body.

Aww, you! Just admit you are thinking of all those nekkid sexy bodies right now.

I am a shy type of person - or shall I say WAS?

I used to hide underneath towels and wraps on my way to the bathroom. When changing, I always try to make sure the door is closed. Now, my loving husband has sort of "tamed" me and now I can just go about nekkid.

But no, not with others - just him, sir.

And speaking of beach - have you been into a nude one? It somehow crossed my mind. Seeing various body types, young and old.

I am very comfortable nude in the house around my wife and she with me. Until I got married 20 years ago, I went to many different nude beaches. In fact, I have been to most of them between Santa Barbara County and San Diego County. It would not bother me to be nude around others of a like mind. My wife didn't feel comfortable at a nude beach.

Public nudity is a sex offender offense and if the local police decide to enforce the rules as they see them, they can wreck peoples lives and turn places that have traditionally clothing optional into just another venue for the clothing only crowd. This has happened to the majority of the nude beaches that were in existence 20 years ago. In Southern California only Blacks Beach in San Diego is still open AFAIK.

I'm comfortable naked and when my kids were little we would all shower/bathe together. As they got older both they, and I got more skittish about it. Part of that came out of my remarrying.
Part of it is situational, I don't think a nude beach would bother me a bit but the there is a group I've recently joined, an organization of sexual educators and advocates of positive sexual attitudes, that sometimes meets nude. I'm kind of ambivalent about that situation, probably because I know that many of them are involved various practices that include group sex or very open partnerships. That's just not my thing. So, it's not a body image concern but rather not wanting create any misunderstanding there or with the man I care for.

hehe, couldnt resist clicking on a thread with Nekkid in it. ha!

When I was a teen - round 18ish i couldnt stand the thought of anyone seeing my naked body. I was really REALLY self concious of my bod around that time - even when there wasnt anything wrong with it.

When I was 21 I lost my virginity and hey ho all my clothes were thrown to the floor. since then I didnt really see the issue of being naked - especially round SO's.

I wouldnt want to prance out of the shower naked in the presence of my immediate family though....that would be a tad to weird and they would prob just send me off to the nut house.....again

No big deal. Been to a few private nudist clubs from time to time. Think 'Wal-Mart', but with no clothes on.

I'm completely happy nude. I visit beaches and swims nude regularly. MesT and Caterpillar should visit a nudist beach as soon as they can. After a while you just realise that everyone is the same, just have different bits of skin here and there. I think children should be brought up with a wholesome attitude to nudity. It makes them more balanced later on in life. Unfortunately we still have people with Victorian attitiudes to nudity. Having said that, I would only go nude with other nudists or with people that are comfortable with it. I used to lodge with a lady that allowed me to go nude around the house, even though she wasn't a nudist herself. But that was only after her saying several times that she didn't mind. In that I knew for sure that she was ok with it. She used to come home from work and I'd greet her with a cup of tea and nothing on. She loved it after a while and, if occasionally I wore clothes, would ask me why I wasn't nude?

Wal-Mart" with no clothes!

LOL That brought to mind the People of Walmart site, eee gads! I think Thomas has hit the real point, it's being around others who are comfortable and knowing what their limits and expectations are.
