Closet Nudist

Closet Nudists for many years until we found out, most of the population is nude at home too http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I am serious...since we have been more open about letting tidbits slip...we found many neighbors, friends and even relatives are nude at home. Some we would have never guessed have even been to nude resorts. Hey you never know!

[Pieguy]

Yeah, generally unless it's freezing I sleep nude, my house is as yet to be declared C-O, but I have edclared my room as such.

[Boreas]

I am beginning to believe what krcNY said, that there are many more people nude at home than we imagine.

My husband and I have mostly only been nude at home, or in remote areas near our home. I joined a Canadian forum and very quickly discovered that I knew someone on there in real life. Suddenly I was in a spot where I felt I had to put my money where my mouth is and try out social nudism. Oh, I live in a small city in northern Canada.....somewhere I did not expect to "meet" someone I knew online.

Anyway, this person invited us out to his home and hot tub when another member of the board was in the area. We went out to dinner with the other two couples and back to the hot tub. We have been back once since then, and now are talking about getting a small club going here since there are some interested folk.

I am really glad I took the step. We are getting a chance to develop a new friendship and I found I was pretty darned comfortable in the social nude setting.

Now I want to go somewhere warm and sunny!

[EricNY]

Isn't it great!!! Just like my wife krcNY stated we found out a lot of people are just like us....

What we did was just started with our closest of freinds and just dropped very subtle hints and some loaded questions. Based on the response or reaction to that we would get deeper into the conversation and a bit more bold with the hints or questions.

Long story short; we found out that the people that we were afraid to tell...were also afraid to tell us.
Imagine if no one started that conversation there would be two sets of people with the same secret and too scared to spit it out.

Now that we are much more open we have been finding naturists all over the place. (some of them just don't know it...yet http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif)

[Boreas]

We just had a discussion of sorts a couple of weeks ago on the Labour Day weekend. We had a friend come down for a visit. This was her first visit to our home, and also the first prolonged social visit with her since she was a work colleague of mine who has since become a friend.

Anyway, we wanted her to feel comfortable and told her she was welcome to have a bath in our wonderful soaker tub. The first night she said it was too close to bedtime and that she'd never be able to sleep because she'd be too hot from the bath. I reminded her the next day around supper and she declined saying she'd have to be naked after the bath and that we wouldn't want that after all! Anyway, I told her that would not be a problem and she looked at me with incredulity and commented that we wouldn't mind seeing "THIS" body? I assured her that would not be a problem. The conversation veered off about then, but it was interesting none-the-less. It is one piece of evidence that suggests to me that more people hang around the house nude than we might know. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Funny you just hit on something that I have been thinking about for a while....

So many times I find, when talking to people, that they seem to think that social nudism is about being seem or seeing others.

That is too bad, because they are missing the real feeling of expriencing others in their most relaxed and true state.

After a short time of thinking wow all these people are naked, you move to seeing people for who they really are, inner beauty so to speak.

You don't see people trying to suck in their belly or pumping out their chest and pretend to be something they are not. You actually see the person that most never see. The real them.

In visiting nude recreation venues and nude gatherings with others I have found that once people are over the initial "I'm naked" stage, they become themselves.....its so refreshing.

It is so easy to strike up conversations and make freinds etc when everyone is so relaxed and "real" The only bad thing about it is sooner or later you have to leave.

Hi Pieguy, use to be a closeter. But after discovering the joy of being open which; which wasn't too long ago, I have enjoyed it so much, and have met many great people, I now regret not coming out sooner. I'm just loving it now, and every moment I can. Just jump! You'll be happy you did. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by Pieguy:

I have only been in a couple of small social nude settings, but I do agree with you. And this woman earned her body. She gave birth to two children and has lived a full live for 50+ years. She has nothing to be ashamed of!

I am, and I also really want to go to a C/O resort too.

[o2bnude]

I also go nude when i'm at the house, inside and out. The wife doesn't care for it and won't participate and frowns when i do.Would also like to try social nudity in a small group sometime.

[nudenwv]

once was but now that i have had the privelege of going social, wouldn't have it any other way. nude home visits are great too. clothing optional is a great start til you get used to the idea of being nude in front of others.

[andy_ma]

Nods in agreement on everything that has been said. It's so liberating once you try and just be yourself. Eventually, I just thought "what's the big deal?" and the rest is history. I feel more me nude - get out and enjoy it. There are LOTS of people that enjoy it. Some times, I think the challenge is meeting those still in the closet or uncomfortable admitting or talking about it. I think that's the most helpful thing about these forums - you see other people enjoying it, hear from every day people from all walks of life, etc. I applaud you for coming here and giving it a try - even if in the closet. Enjoy and welcome!

[Buzzer]

http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gifMy wife & I would be considered "closet" nudists. Though, my wife has no trouble telling others about my beig a nudist. Nor do I. I just haven't been nude socially since I was a kid at camp. And, I won't be without my wife.

[TANZ]

ercNY,that last post of yours was spot on,great post.
I also agree with what has been said about never knowing who may be allies
I don't usually go around telling everyone of my preference for not wearing clothes,but my partner(to be wife) does,and so far we have found 2 workmates of mine,1 of hers and a few other acquaintances outside of work who go nude one way or another.Some people you just would not expect if you didn't know.

[closit2000]

Interesting comments. I have likewise made hints to over a dozen people. Allmost everyone has left my comments alone w/ no responce. One person has even stopped emailing me. Another thing that is making things difficult is my wife has told me that she is dead set against particpating in any nudist gathering. We are working on getting a swimming pool and she did say that she would skinny dip w/ me when the pool was working.

[Buzzer]

That's a start. I hope your pool gets installed before the weather and her mind change. (I say this because my wife changes her mind quite often.)

Yep! Though I wish I didn't need to be, but there's just no opportunity to join in with a group in this area. For all I know there could be dozens of others around me nude around the house but I don't really think so. So in the meantime I'll stay a closeter, I still enjoy it. At least my wife accepts me even if she won't join in. We have dropped hints that I sunbathe nude but nothing more than that.

[nudeM]

I won't say that I am a 'closet nudist'. I just don't let the cat out of the bag that much. There is another individual at work that is nude in his backyard, but to this day, I will not reveal to him of my nudity. This individual is a Sheriff, so that is why I choose not to reveal it.

Talk about gossip, Sheriff personnel are the biggest gossipeers around. Word travels faster than the internet.

Now, on the other hand, if someone were to ask about me being naked at home (other than at work), I would tell them yes. I do agree with the aspect that there are a lot of 'closet nudists' out there, many of whom you would never think of i.e., relatives, friends, co-workers, etc. Great topic. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I've wondered about "closet nudists". Doesn't it get a little uncomfortable in that closet? http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[stephen russell]

Iam BUT did exp Glen Eden 2X but cant stand the AANR prude mindset there.
I made NO connection which is why I find it hard to go Nude.
Single, 50, live in So CA.
I like to exp it each Summer, never Full time like some do.
Like skiing in Aspen in winter, same deal.
BUT I cant find any women who like the same Exp as I do.
Even PT.

[Illinois07]

Based on some small & wildly unscientific survrys - I believe that as much as 10 percent of the non-social nudist population ( the general public ) may be routinely nude at home.

That I can quite believe, but so many people will not admit to it.

[Zorro]

I know a few who do, but it's not 10% of the people I know...

[NudeAl]

I know for a fact that a lot of the guys I work with are nude around their houses in the mornings evenings etc. Most of them have never been to a nude beach or club but quite a lot will go around inside their own home nude. I don't think this would nessesarily qualify them as closet nudists though.

I suppose that "closet nudist" is not the correct phrase for me, I don't keep myself shut off and secret, I just don't shout it around. I'm happy to admit to it if asked.

[grl66]

I have been to beaches but never clubs and due to concerns over custody, no-one I know knows about my nudity practises with the exception of my partner. Does that make me a closet nudist?

[rck154]

i would say i am a closet nudist. i just found the joy of being nude but i don't think my family would be accepting of this. so these days i have to keep a set of clothes close by just in case anyone comes home. i get really frusturated because i don't have a backyard either so i can't be nude outside too much. i feel so trapped inside my house. ant advice??

Being as I don't know your family circumstances, I can't tell you how to broach it with them.

But at least you seem to enjoy your time nude, that you can get. As far as being nude outside, it is just a matter of finding a secluded area where you can get nude. You will enjoy the feel of the sun and the breeze on your skin. It is very soothing.

I have told all family and friends. I am a adult so it is my choice how I live my life. We are nude at home all the time. We keep clothes nearby, in case someone comes to the door. The odd time we have forgotten, and have surprised a few people, but that is the price we pay.

Be careful it is rather addicting....Once you tell a couple of people and get positive responeses you start telling everyone http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[nudekid1]

Hi i'm a closet nudist too, we have a lot in common, shame u live on other side of globe but maybe we will meet one day. I really would like to be able to go nude round my rrom but i'm quite sure my parents wouldn'y like it

nudekid,
Why not go nude in your room and find out out your parents' reactions? Just be casual and don't act guilty or embarrassed if they see you. Don't cover up or run for something to put on. Tell them that it's just more comfortable that way.

Would I be a closet nudist if everyone at school knows that I am a nudist?

[DavCube]

i am, nice to meet ya!

[MarvinJS]

Aloha to us all,

I have always liked being in the nude. When I come home from work, the first thing I do is take off my clothes, and I don't put them back on until I have to walk out the door.

I guess I would consider myself a closet nudist. I have been to only one c/o beach a couple of times on the island of Kaua'i. It is such a freeing feeling to be as I was. My job is a conservative type of job, so I have to keep my thoughts of being a naturist under the cover (or in the closet) except among my closest friends. But even then, they are not open to the idea of going to the beach, let along a resort of any kind.

So, at home, I am always in the nude. Sleep that way, cook that way, eat that way. Guess I just like the feeling of not being restricted. I was hospitalized a while back and was told that I HAD to sleep with clothes on. Had the hardest time falling asleep.

Here's hoping I can one day go and throw the cloest door away.

[Rabid_Clam]

I have known many people to be nude much of the time at home but not claiming to be a nudist or naturalist. Is just their habit.

Would be great to meet others in my area that are the same and don't mind sharing company with other nude people.

[blackrebel]

I was a closet nudist for a long time and still hide it from family. But I am less and less surprised at the number of people who are naked at home, who dont consider themselves nudists. I guess if you are not social about it, you aren't a nudist.

I dont impose nudism on friends, nor will I go nude around those who'd not be comfortable with it. Part of that is my guessing, though.

I had a friend pull a stunt of walking around nude to get me to let her live with me, and she was a woman who could tease men with her body. I didn't react, and in fact, copied her and went nude myself, and she was kinda thrown off that I could be naked with her and not be sexually attracted to her. She didnt know I was a nudist though. That was a funny 3 days.

All we can do is to be relaxed and confident with our nudism belief and put their minds at ease.

Could you enlighten us with some of these hints and questions? I'd love to know how to find out if someone was willing or interested (positively) in being a nudist.

http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif Welcome to the board.

[Buzzer]

http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/sad3.gif Plenty. My wife & I are. I want to go socially, but she is against it. She says she wouldn't mind being seen in the nude by other men as much as she would be by other women. I guess she feels women would be more critical of her appearence. Believe me, she has nothing to be ahsamed of as far as for, weight, attractiveness, etc.

[missouriboy]

Buzzer, your wife proves the insight expressed here--

"According to a new survey, women say they feel more comfortable undressing in front of men than they do undressing in front of other women. They say that women are too judgmental, where, of course, men are just grateful."

-- Robert De Niro
