Nudist idea #87: Go and do your shopping naked

It’s funny that even in a naturist environment like a nudist resort or club, some people are reluctant to carry some activities naked. Shopping is one of them. It’s very frequent to meet clothed people at the supermarket inside your nudist resort! The main reason shared being hygiene.

Image result for naked shoppingIt’s true that men need to be prudent when shopping naked as their penis can touch food. But once you get the idea, are paying attention, and, of course, have a perfect body hygiene, doing your shopping does not require any clothing. Now when you think of it, being in a naturist setting is all about being naked. And being “forced” to dress to do some activities defeat the purpose, somehow.

Image result for naked shoppingI find it, personally, more enjoyable to shed my clothing on day one and only get them back on last day. Between the two days, only a towel is necessary, if weather allows it of course. Furthermore, being naked while shopping is one step further in body acceptance, your own and others. It’s another activity that you discover does not require clothing. It may seem awkward at the beginning, but will become a second nature very fast, as all other naked activities. Shed your clothes, shop naked!

Nudist idea #86: Be a nudist friendly couch surfing host

If you like meeting new people and have a extra couch to propose to strangers, you can become a couch surfing host. Like in the nudist idea #34, the point is to twist the concept to be a nudist friendly couch surfing host.

Image result for nude couch surfingOf course, this means welcoming other nudist couch surfers, as well as warning your couch surfers that they are coming in a nudist home. By welcoming nudist couch surfers, you will make new friends. By warning non nudist couch surfers, you stand the chance to make new nudists. The world needs to be more nudist friendly and by making openly your home a nudist home, you contribute to more nudism.

Image result for nude couch surfingOf course, the line between nudity and sexuality needs to be drawn from the get-go. The topic of sexuality and social nudity has been discussed multiple times and we need to draw the clear line, particularly when welcoming strangers in our nudist home. Once this fact cleared, you can all enjoy social nude time.

Nudist idea #85: Fix what requires to be fixed in your home, naked

This is one of my preferred home activities. I always keep a list of things to fix, from repairing an appliance that does not work to hanging a picture or enhancing a room by giving it some fresh paint work.

Image result for naked carpenterMost of those repairs do not require clothing. Particularly if you’re a home nudist, it will just be natural, like the Nudist idea #38: Do your house chores naked. Just grab your toolbox and hammer that nail or fix that electric plug. Like many other activities, it may feel strange at the beginning not to wear anything. However, you will soon forget you are naked as it is so comfortable. You will end asking yourself why you did not do it sooner.

Image result for naked carpenterIf you happen to have some work to do outside, so be it! You will need to ensure that either people knows you can be naked in your garden or they cannot see you, as you do not want to end like Robert Jenner, a.k.a. the naked carpenter. Some of his neighbors were “outraged” because he was working naked in and out of his house. Sign there’s still a long way to have naturism widely accepted, although there’s nothing inherently wrong with a naked body.

Nudist idea #83: Sail naked

On a warm day, your boat is pushed by a light breeze, you enjoy sailing, the air enveloping your bare skin. Whether on a large boat or a on a small dinghy, being naked is the best option.

Image result for sailing naked

Let’s look at it, if the weather allows it, there’s no real reason to wear anything aboard a sailing ship. It’s actually almost the perfect place to be naked. You won’t have any neighbors gawking, and if it happens to cruise next to another boat, the chances are high nobody will care the way you are dressed or undressed in this case. You will have a unique opportunity to get a overall tan, and you will honestly be so comfortable it would really be a pity not to get naked. Of course, do not forget your sun lotion!

Image result for sailing naked

Beyond the nudist resort, a sailing boat is probably the next best place to get used to nudity outside of your own home. Whether for a day or a week, a naked cruise on a nudist sail boat is a great way to be comfortable with your own body among other nudists. You are relaxed, the sun is shining, get naked! And propose to the others to follow your lead. Finally, if you are the happy owner of the boat, make it a nudist one, as I proposed in the Nudist idea #46: Allow only nakedness on your boat, Do not over think about it, just drop all your clothes the moment you put the foot on the boat or at least as soon as you leave the harbor, and enjoy the feeling!

Nudist idea #81: Organize a naked board games event

Playing game board is an activity that seems to disappear since video games took on. However, some board games stay popular and a good game of Monopoly, Clue or Risk is guaranteed fun.

However, as a home nudist, playing board games naked seems a pretty standard activity. Make it standard for friends and family. Send an invitation for a board games evening, remembering participants this happens in a nudist home, and clothing theme “no clothing allowed”. Of course, remind the participants you are talking about social nudism and this is not sexual at all. It’s all about being comfortable in your own skin. You can remind them of the definition of naturism by the International Naturist Federation: “Naturism is a way of life in harmony with nature characterised by the practice of communal nudity with the intention of encouraging self-respect, respect for others and for the environment”.

Image result for playing board games naked

The main idea of a naked board game event is to spread the idea of naturism/nudism. There’s nothing wrong with being naked and many benefits of sharing nudity with others as it has been described in various articles and posts. Board games are fun. Playing with friends those games makes wonderful memories. Let’s just play them in the best suited suit, your own birthday suit.

Nudist idea #78: Participate in a naked TV show

If you ever think about being naked in front of a camera, and no, not in a sexual way, then a naked TV show could be a choice. There have been many shows over the year, and this article lists 10 of them.

Image result for naked tv showOf course, there will be a selection, so even if you wish, it may not happen. There may be other risks associated to the show like in Naked and Afraid, so you may think twice before going. On the other side of the spectrum, Skin Wars can be quite artistic, with beautiful body painting. Or if you are looking for a lover, Dating Naked can be your choice. So, but what’s the deal in participating in a naked TV show?

Image result for naked tv showThe deal is first of all to be naked. Of course, you will need to want to be on TV, which not all of us would want. But if being on TV is one of your goals and you are a nudist, then featuring in a naked TV show may be the right pick. Of course, there’s a risk it will be misinterpreted by your friends and family, so you will need to pick the right one and be open on the reasons you are participating. But beyond this, as in a ll activities in life and particularly naked ones, have fun!

Nudist idea #75: Make your home a nudist haven

If you are already naked at home, you are one step forward to make your home a nudist haven. But what do I really mean by making your home a nudist haven.

Image result for naked at homeWell here are a couple of ideas. In some countries you can be sued if your neighbors can see you naked inside your home. The first step is ensuring either your neighbors know and accept you are naked at home or to ensure they cannot see you while you’re naked. I would really recommend the first solution, as when we are dealing with the garden, if you have one, it will become much easier. First step cleared!

Image result for nudist in gardenThe second step is to ensure the same in your garden if you have one. One particularly problematic point is to ensure nobody passing by that you do not know can see you. This may require some fencing, natural if possible to obscure visibility from public area. In some countries or states, it will not be problematic and if you are a seasoned nudist, you will not give a damn if people see you naked. Second step cleared!

nudist_door_sign.jpgThe third and final step, in my opinion, is to display at the entrance of your home that this is a nudist friendly place and that nude people can be seen. If unannounced, accept to see naked people. As simple as this, so people are aware that your place is a nudist place and they may see you and others in your birthday suit. Third step cleared!

Of course, you can had many other features to your home, like the following ideas:

The whole idea is to make you home a nudist place and celebrate the human body as much as possible. Is your home a nudist haven? Share your experience and ideas to make the world a better nudist one. Get Naked, Stay Naked, Live Naked and Share the Naked Love!

Nudist idea #74: Move to a clothing optional gated community

You want to get naked more often, if not all day long? Then move to a clothing optional gated community. There are a few around the world, mainly in the US, France and Spain.

Image result for clothing optional gated community

You can live in Florida naked all-year long for instance, where many naked communities exist. Same goes in the South of France or in Spain. If you have a job that allows it (or do not need to work to live), and long for being naked all-year long, take the plunge, and buy or rent your naked home!

The obvious benefit is to be naked all-day long (if temperature allows it of course, although you will get used to chillier temperature over time). Not only naked at home, but naked outside your home: while shopping or dining if such facilities exist inside the community, while practicing your favorite sport and while walking the dog.

Buying Naked TLC logo.png

There used to be a reality show in the US titled Buying Naked, It was following a real estate agent and nudists in search of a home in clothing optional communities. Although it lasted only one season, it gives a glimpse of nudist communities and living in the nude. If you watch some episodes, you will realize that living naked is not living in an RV or a trailer but can be luxurious. So if the idea of living naked all year long comes to your mind, why not moving?

Are you living in a naked gated community? How is it? We would love to hear about your experiences with it in the comment section below. As usual, Get Naked, Stay Naked, Live Naked and Share the Naked Love !

Are you with or without (clothes)?

As naturists, we are much better without clothes. The German photographer Sophia Vogel has deliver a photo project called With and Without, showing the each time the same scene with the same people, clothed and naked.

All pictures depicts normal life situations, like in the two examples provided in this post (all pictures (c) Sophia Vogel). It depicts the fact that clothes are not required when we are not seeing naked bodies as sexual representations but only as naked bodies.

The pictures are beautiful and the photographer has created a hard cover book that can be purchased for 40 euros plus P&H. A wonderful work that shows that nudism is normal and natural.

How to start living clothes free

January challenge from clothesfreelife.com.

Living clothes free is all about enjoying being naked for a day, a week or life. It’s about being comfortable in our own body while alone, friends, family and strangers. It may sound weird. Who would want to get naked in front of others? And this is not the right question to ask, or at least, it should be shorted: who would want to get naked? The answer is anybody who consider nudity as normal and natural. This is all the nudists and naturists of this world, and this represents millions of people. The beauty of social nudity is that once you start, you never go back to wearing clothes when you can avoid them. So how to start?

The First Step: indoor

You probably get naked once or twice a day to take a shower or a bath, don’t you? Now, think about the following. What if after your daily shower, let’s take the evening one when you come back from work, you decide to stay naked. Yes, all naked, no clothes. You will watch TV, or prepare dinner, all naked!

What’s the purpose? Just to get used to being naked and doing something you are not used to do clothes free, like, as I wrote, watch TV or have dinner. Of course, this will be weird at the beginning. You will find something is missing, and you’ll be right, your clothes will be missing. However, pay attention to your sensations. How does it feel to be naked? Good and comfortable? Weird and uncomfortable?

If it’s the latter, it’s all normal as society and religion have generally taught us that nudity is bad. You’ll have to rewire your brain to teach it that nudity is good. There’s nothing inherently sexual about nudity, it’s all a construction of the perception society wants you to have. We need to deconstruct this and replace it with the perception that nudity is good, normal and comfortable. So what if, you are not 100% comfortable while nude but want to give it a try? This is normal, and as the saying goes, fake it until you make it! Get naked for 10 minutes, then get clothed and commit the next day to get naked for 15 minutes. Build this gradually. Don’t be in a hurry it will come, and at one point, you will not realize you are naked, being so comfortable!

Before jumping into our second step, one question remains. What if you are not living alone? Can you still do it? Yes! Of course, this will require another preliminary step: having the agreement of the people you are living with that you will spend some time naked. Let’s be clear, this can be too big an ask for many. Therefore you are left with remaining naked within your room for the time being, and move to step two faster.

The second step: outdoor

So, you are getting more and more comfortable being naked indoors, between the security and the comfort of your house. Here comes the time to get out! Yes, getting naked outside. I highly recommend your first outdoor venture to be a naturist resort for one reason: it will be a friendly fully naturist setting. You can chose a nudist beach, but risks exist that not everybody will be naked and that some voyeurs make you uncomfortable.

So, go online to your naturist federation website, pick the place you would like to visit, and get an appointment to come to the place. When I say to get an appointment is to call or mail them to know when you can visit and let them know you are new to naturism. This way, you’ll get welcomed, will be given a tour of the premises and the rules of the resort. It’s probable that on your first day, you will be given permission to keep your swimsuit or some clothing. I highly recommend to get naked as soon as possible. Look around and you’ll see only naked people, do like them! You are in a safe environment, and you’ll soon realize that nobody will stare at you if you’re naked. You are in a naturist setting and nudity is totally normal and natural.

There’s chances your greeter will introduce you to other members while touring the facilities. Grab the opportunity to start making new friends. You will be able to go and speak to them later and ask them about their experiences as nudists. You will for sure discover a brand new world of freedom, joy and happiness. At the end of the day, you would have become a nudist for sure, particularly if you happened to do some activities, like hiking, swimming, or playing volleyball. If you have to go back home, keep this day in your memories. However, what you will keep in your flesh is the comfort of nudity that will stay with you forever. There are chances you will find any opportunity to stay naked in your home going forward now.

The third step: social

If you get used to your nudity in your home and spent a day, or many, at a nudist resort or club, you can be now considered a social nudist. The third step is though to come out the naturist closet to share with others your new lifestyle.

By others, I mean your close friends and family. You may want to keep it personal, however, if you really want to enjoy more naked times, you’ll have to share. No hurry though. Many naturists live joyfully without their friends and family knowing where they spend their holidays and week-ends. It’s your choice. The fact is you’re going to nudist clubs and resorts, you’ll get new nudist friends and you’ll have opportunities to get naked more often, for instance at pool or BBQ parties.

It’s a good idea though to invite the people you love, your good friends and family members, to share the nudist lifestyle. They may not understand it at the beginning and I recommend you use ideas I explained in my post 4 ways to explain to friends and family why you are a #nudist. Whatever their choices, they’ll know you’re a nudist and will not be surprised if one day you are naked at home or at the pool.

Conclusion

So this is it. Starting a clothes free life all begins with a decision to get naked at home, then venture outside before embracing the lifestyle. Many has been written on the many benefits of the nudist lifestyle. All it takes is a decision to step out of your shower and stay naked. Are you ready?
