National Nudist Week

[Smithers]

With Australian National Nude Week coming up 19th-27th Nov, was wondering if other members like to get their kit off and soak up some rays or get about the house in the birthday suit? And others who'd like to chime in on the thread with your thoughts your more than welcome.

I lived in a "nudist retreat" for a couple of years...
My thoughts.. there is nothing sexy about naked elderly people playing sports, like tennis etc...

(I never really participated though in the whole naked thing)

I just read this on my lunch break and had a chuckle. I remember the nudist thing being big in the 60's and early 70's (I think my parents might have snuck off on a holiday without us kids :shock
In the 80's I was fairly "carefree" and regularly roamed the beaches topless and a couple of times I went totally natural on secluded beaches.
it was a fun time of my life but now?.... well let's just say ... "I don't think ya ready for this jelly" *singing* (and I do mean JELLY!!!) :lol::lol::lol:

I'm also a little more skin cancer conscious now...

I have also gone nude at secluded beaches at times, but i never did understand the 'family nude camping trips'.......i couldnt imagine anything much more uncomfortable then sitting around the camp fire naked with my dad & brothers! :?

Oh & i do on occasion do the housework nude.......just because i can!

@ Australis - Cheers for the input, I'm pretty sure it's not so much about who is sexy or not sexy more of an expression/freedom of choice to be as natural as the day your came into the world. Most people don't go to beaches or camps who are nudists and the home is where it happens a lot of the time.

@ Dragonwolf - Being self conscious is why most people don't and I can relate to that. As for the sun smart that's a good thing we are more aware of the dangers and does also reduce people wanting to get a tan these days. As im unable to venture into the sun myself anymore so I'm more of a home nudist these days.

the house is my domain...my birthday suit is my best friend when im home alone, unless its cold..

 

[Dragonwolf]

Smithers, I get where you're coming from and I must admit I miss the feeling of freedom going nude gives. I can imagine that unrestrained parts of me accidently getting pinched in doors, fridges and washing machines would definitely be a freedom killer for me though

Bel77, my father was a shocker... it didn't matter who was around he'd wander around the house starkers. I think my mum finally put a stop to it when he walked from their bedroom to the bathroom in *full glory* :shock:

I love being naked. Regularly study with no clothes because most of the time it's too hot.

A lot of people are very self conscious, even getting out in a bikini, and I think it's a shame. I felt so much more comfortable in myself once I got the courage to walk around in a bikini or no clothes on. I live with three girls and one housemate will happily get around naked with me, if we're doing our tans or something. One is comfortable enough to laught at us, give us alcohol, and play music and dance around with clothes on. She's finally got to the point where she'll walk to the shower in a towel. The 3rd housemate hides from us, and takes a change of clothes to the shower (the door next to her room) every day.

The first housemate and I are very confident and outgoing. The second is very self conscious, and the last is as quiet as a mouse, and has very little confidence, even when speaking to people and expressing her opinion.

I understand other people aren't as comfortable with themselves as I am, but I definetely think that getting around with litte to no clothes on, and then realising that there's no one standing there going "you're fat, you're ugly, you've got cellulite", except for yourself, is very liberating.

Bahahah what a good thread. i think id be a little to selfconsious for the nude beach thing. maybe if i had a bangin body and a nick name like donkey.

 

[Megzz]

I tan naked every day I dont need a set week for it.

Most of the "nudists" i have known referred to themselves as naturists not nudists and were mostly from central and northern European countries.. and mostly seemed interested in being naked outdoors in "nature"... with the whole thing seeming to center around healthy living in general.

 

[ozstorm]

In the warmer weather I am usually nude at home, and try to get to the nudist beaches as often as possible (which isn't as often as I would like)

As to being in a nudist family, not something I could even imagine my family ever doing (although I think I could live in a nudist retreat without too much trouble)

 

[Smithers]

True Naturist/Nudist seem to be put under the same banner Australis, a lot of people like the outdoors thing and being nude is an onflow of being in/around nature either fishing hiking camping generally enjoying yourself and taking it all in. untill you (not you personally) actually try it would be hard to really understand the whole experience of liberation.

 

[Defective]

i have no shame so i regularly answer the front door in the nude...dunno how i feel about going to a nudist beach...but in my own home with no one around i'm all cool yo! i walk around in mostly just my underwear anyway i go for comfort not style.

 

[grannieannie]

I've always hated wearing a bra...and now I only have one boob...due to breast cancer...there seems little need for one, except sometimes I wear one when I go out. I've always hated wearing knickers in summer time (at home) much too hot. I went skinny dipping at a quiet beach once with my husband....and of course I usually sleep in the nude. Hubby however is never without at least a pair of shorts and T shirt and sneakers. I've often wished he'd go without a shirt because I think he's quite sexy, even though he's 76 yrs old.

OH!!
Everything makes sense now! Last night a naked lady strolled into maccas...... It was different

Whenever I go to the beach it is to the nude beach down here. I love tanning nude, swimming nude, being nude. I really dislike wearing clothes.

When at home I am always without clothes. Step home from work, go to my bedroom, undress and settle down for the evening.

I just like the feeling of hanging loose and being unrestricted.

Next year I will be having a housemate...... I have already told him he will need to get used to it lol.

Maybe this should be the next "show us your" pic thread:shock:
