I enjoy naturism/nudism (which has nothing to do with sex) is wonderful once you get used to it. But, I think it is something you need to grow into. Ignoring our mass media cultural bias and becoming comfortable with our body is a freeing experience in more ways than one. Did you ever go skinny dipping as a kid? Fun, right *smile*? I've never had a movie star shape, but when my first opportunity to go to a nude beach presented itself, remembering that I'd enjoyed it as a kid, I went for it! If you haven't tried naturism may I suggest that you try going nude around the house. Just remember to crank up the heat, or turn down the air! *smile* Clothing optional/naturist beaches, are especially enjoyable! *smile* Even became an AANR member. An even greater passion of mine is sailing! Started learning about four years ago and have gotten competent enough to now considering getting my own boat. Anyone out there need crew? *grin* Call me, my sail bag is packed and ready to go.
