Why did you become a naturist?
A fairly light-hearted topic!
I became a naturist for many reasons, but perhaps the one I appreciate most is not lieing around in a wet swimming costume after a swim. What do other forum members cite as their main reason? Julie -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

But it was only at the age of 22 (in 1985) that I started stripping off in the company of others. I'd only recently moved to the coast, & I was taking my mum's dog for a walk when I stumbled upon a naturist beach. I was embarassed & quickly fled, but curiosity got the better of me & I returned a couple of weeks later. I've been a naturuist ever since. |

When I disclosed to a friend that I never bothered to dress around the house and garden unless I had to, he innocently asked me if I'd ever considered being a naturist!! Roy |

One day I got so fed up with them and my parents would not buy me a decent pair of speedos that I stripped naked there and then on Southend beach and spent the rest of the day playing in the sand stark naked. Well not quite the rest of the day..maybe 20 minutes until I got arrested as I was 26 at the time. |

Ahhhh But those "naturists" who have never heard of BN are obviously not "real" naturists :-) |

We could have "real naturists", "naturists", "nudists" and "people who engage in naked recreation but don't call themselves naturists". David. |

Those that say " I don't like a label" or " I don't want/accept labels" forget that it's not the item that gets to choose if or what the label is going to be. so you become a naturist/nudist/pervert/deviant when those around you decide that's what you are, and no matter how much you scream " I don't like labels" you have just been labeled. Society has a deep seated need to create labels otherwise there is no way of differentiating us from "them". |

We always wander away from the main beach, found what we thought was a quiet deserted stretch (8am ) but by 10am about a dozen people had turned up & all had stripped off. I looked at my wife & said "i will if you will" & we`ve been naturists ever since, Even tho my wife has since had a mastectomy it hasn`t stopped her, tho she will don her sarong when walking around. No `body shame` from my wife, but i do get frosty when people stare. You don`t have to look like Pammy Anderson or Brad Pitt to be a naturist. (thankfully) Hamish |
