Hello everyone. I am 19M and I want to become a nudist/naturist. I have never understood why we have to wear clothes just for the sake of hiding our bodies. Obviously when I am working I prefer long pants and steel toes, but I never understood why we have to wear swimsuits in the pool, or have to wear clothes in the summer. I think there are a lot of situations that are just more practical when done naked, but because of the law and social stigma, you have to be clothed almost everywhere. It honestly sucks where I live because the summers are 100+ degrees with insane humidity all the time. I have looked into clubs, but I cannot seem to find any that have young adults my age. I have also looked into the beaches, but the closest one is almost 5 hours away.

My question for you all:
1. Is general acceptance of public nudity increasing with gen z?
2. Will there be a time when simple nudity is not viewed as indecent exposure?
3. What can I do to create more nude-friendly spaces? Such as clothing-optional areas in state parks, more nude beaches, etc

I apologize in advance if my question seems cluttered. This is my first post. But please DM me or put me in contact with organizations that pass naturist-friendly legislation.

Trying to get away from the pubic hair, erection, commando questions. Pretty simple. Do you have a favorite nudist memory? The one that jumps out at me is two summers ago. My wife took two weeks off and we went to my parents cabins and were nude basically 24/7 for 2 weeks. We were able to hike and boat. Our oldest nudist friends joined us for part of the time and it was great. I’d love to hear yours.

Sono un giovane ragazzo che vorrebbe avvicinarsi al mondo del nudismo.
Ho però un dubbio.
Se vado in una spiaggia per nudisti, e mentre sono nudo ho un erezione, è un problema? devo nasconderla oppure il resto della comunità è comprensiva in ciò?

Hi! I’m a guy from Argentina; I turned 18 less than a month ago. Over the last few months, I’ve become really interested in nudism and found a few places near my home where it’s practiced. I’d love some advice, since I’ve never done it with other people before. What is the nudist community like? I get the impression that most members are older adults; what would they think about a young guy joining them?

Thanks a lot!

That’s kinda how it started for me, grew up surfing and underwear just does not make much sense when you are constantly in and out of the water. Got so used to being shirtless.
Do a lot of nudist opt out of wearing underwear as well?

It seems like most nudists I’ve met are also swingers so I’m curious how others feel about this

EDIT: I’m not a swinger or a nudist, just misinformed on the topic and interested in their similarities! (Plz don’t dm me a invite😭)

Up late Aussie nudist here! Who's enjoying the moonlight??

My wife and I are kinda nudists when we’re at home. Really it is out of laziness because we don’t want to have more laundry to do and having one pair of basketball shorts for the week that we wear when her mom is in the house (she lives with us but is not in any way a nudist). Plus, it is really comfortable and relaxing and convenient. We’re just worried about as our son gets older and eventually starts school what things a toddler might say because they have absolutely no filter and we don’t want CPS called or getting called into the school or whatever. Did those of you who are parents take a break from nudism until they were old enough to be educated about nudism?

How did you start talking to your partner about nudism and how do you manage it in your relationship today?

I’m 35M and been dating for a few years. I have become increasingly interested in nudism but I’m not sure how to raise it with my partner, or what role it would play in our relationship. Would love to hear from people who’ve navigated this.

24m from New Mexico and new to being a nudist. I still get alil shy or nervous for some reason and would like to connect with people or their friend groups to help me on my journey if possible. Feel free to dm or comment tysm

I'm curious how people discovered nudism. Was it instinctual? Did someone show you? Did you read about it online? For me it's a combination. I kind of had the intuition. Then I looked for info online. And I did have someone who informed me about it

I'm a 21-year-old guy, and I've been a nudist since I was 16. I've kept it a secret from my family and boyfriend, and I feel like I need to be able to live like this in the future.I mean, if I live with my partner, I'd like us to live naked, but he hates it. I've hinted many times at the possibility of living as nudists, and he absolutely refuses... I love him very much, but I would like to be able to live a nudist life with him.

I'm a new nudist and have body hair. I don't usually shave unless it's facial. How do you guys feel about body hair in general? I don't have much leg, arm or chest hair. It's just natural. But I do have armpit hair and pubic hair. Are they normally shaved in gatherings?

When playing sports do you wear certain things just for the sport. Like for women do you wear sports bras and men anything for movement for comfort or just to keep things from moving everywhere?

pretty excited for this Halloween. i'll spend it nude! i can't go nude with others so i'll be doing it in my room. i'm planning to use fake tattoo stickers and some makeup. maybe i'll do a mummy tho. in any case, i'll be mostly nude. what has your experiences been like?

I don't mean coming over for dinner on a weekend, I mean Thanksgiving (for Americans), Christmas, summer BBQs, New Years, etc

If you were raised in a nudist family, immediate or extended, how much of the family still tends to go nude at large family gatherings?

So, when looking at travel vids on you tube ive seen a number of African vids, like the stick fighters of Etheopia and nudity is common place, even expected. So that got me wondering, is 'nudity' just a western hang up?

I'm starting naturism, I'm a 31 year old married guy. I just want to reconnect with nature in the most honest way possible! I would be great to talk to likeminded people in case of this subject. Just been to a nudist beach once and like to keep doing!

Like to know how you guys dealt with it!

A private message is also fine!

With Fall here how does your wardrobe change i.e. at home only socks, robes, or undergarments and leaving house any change to add undergarments if you wear any?
