I've always fancied trying naturism, but
don't know how to get started
Everybody is different. Some people will prefer the anonymity of a
naturist beach, others will prefer the secure environment of stripping off
with friends. Others will prefer the anonymity but security of a closed
environment like a club. I would suggest that you start by being naked
on your own - in your home. Don't wrap yourself in a towel when you
go from the bathroom to the bedroom. Is your garden private? If it
is, try sunbathing in the nude. When you are ready to be socially naked
decide if you would rather be in an anonymous enviornment or need the security
of friends. Sometimes the opportunity just presents itself - eg an
evening barbecue by a river and later on some people go skinny-dipping, or
you find you are on a secluded beach. It is not a big deal. In
a nutshell, how you get started is to take your clothes off - and you're
a naturist. There, it's easy isn't it?

How do I tell people I'm a naturist?
Just be open about it - it isn't a big deal and if anyone has a problem,
it is their problem. I can only think of one exception to this, and
that is where you work with children, not because there is
anything wrong with being a naturist but this is an area where other people's
prejudice could cause a problem. For example I know teachers who are
naturists who do not let it be common knowledge in the staffroom. I
used to be a teacher and I never made any secret of it, but that is now 15
years ago and the climate had changed. I now work in an office environment
and in all the places I have worked and in social circles I find that responses
fall into distinct categories.
'I am too. I just haven't told anyone about it'
In every place I have worked there has been at least one such
response
'I would love to do that. I just haven't dared'
You'd be surprised how many responses like this I get. In the end,
quite a few of these people join us.
'I don't know if I could do that. It wouldn't bother me
if I someone else were naked, but I'm not sure if I could do it'
And you'd be surprised how many of these people, when they find they are
in a 'clothing optional' environment, end up stripping off
Totally anti
These people just can't handle it and wouldn't even be happy in an environment
where they are dressed and we are naked. If we go to a swimming pool,
these people would not join us in the family cubicle but would have to have
a cubicle to themselves.
I find that the 'antis' are a tiny minority. I have only met four.
I am totally open about my naturism and find that reaction is very positive.
OK, I get a bit of teasing, but it is not malicious and I don't mind having
the p**s taken out of me. After all, as I keep saying, it's no big deal!

How do I persuade my wife to join in?
Be open about it - as above. See if there is a naturist beach - you
go naked and she doesn't have to. You might well find that she ends
up joining in. As it is something totally natural - treat it as such.
If there is still a problem there are many sites on the web which deal with
naturism specifically from a female point of view. You could show her some
of those.
Women's
Issues With Nudity
Patti Logan - this would
be an excellent starting point
Nude Recreation:
A Woman's Perspective - also a good starting point.

What if I get an erection?
This is a common fear for men starting naturism. As you have guessed,
as naturism is not a sexual experience erections are not welcome and are
not part of naturist etiquette. But you will find that it probably
is not the problem you think it will be - as I said, naturism isn't about
sex and you will see bodies of all shapes and sizes and you will become very
blasé about it all. If you find you do get an erection in the
early days, simply roll over onto your stomach or jump into the pool until
the problem has passed.
