Your most pleasant nude experience

[Gary Naturist]

What was your most pleasant (non-sexual) nude experience?

Here's mine. This happened quite a few years ago, when we were in our early 20s, before we had had many nude experiences. Because the day was so magical, I remember every detail as if it happened yesterday.

My wife and I were invited for a weekend at the summer cottage of friends. We didn't know them too well, but we knew the other couple who were invited very well.

Their cottage is in a very pretty area on a gently flowing river which had been dredged out and converted into a canal to facilitate boat traffic between two lakes.

Cottages line both sides of the river, which is very narrow, less than 50 yards across. The cottages are modest bungalows set back from the river on gently sloping lawns.

The river drops off steeply from its banks, which are shored up by timbers, so it's great for diving. Large shade trees overhang the banks, completing this serene picture.

It was a very warm summer's day near the end of July. Just after noon, it began to rain, one of those warm showers that you can stand out in forever and not get chilled.

We had been mostly sitting around in the cottage chatting and looking out at the rain when the idea popped into our heads: let's go swimming. Without a word, everyone got up and took off all their clothes.

We had never been nude together before, and had never even discussed nudity or skinny-dipping. But, on this day, it seemed only natural to enjoy the river and the rain in our natural state. We exited through the front door of the cottage and made our way, single file and naked, down the walkway to the river. We lined up side by side on the bank and looked out over the river, which was completely calm, except for millions of raindrops splashing up. Then we all jumped in.

We had a great time in the river and the rain, laughing and shouting, climbing out and diving back in. Y?all know how wonderful it feels to swim naked. Well, that feeling is heightened when it?s a new or infrequent experience.

At one point, while I was standing on the bank preparing to dive back in, I looked around and noticed that people in neighboring cottages were watching us through their front windows, but I didn't care. A couple of boats passed close by, and we all exchanged greetings.

A bit later, we heard the sound of rolling thunder and saw, in the distance, some flashes of sheet lightning. But we weren't letting anything as trivial as possible electrocution interfere with our experience, so we continued to play in the water.

Finally, we all climbed out, and walked naked back up the walkway and into the cottage (neighbors still watching). We were all dripping wet, so we stopped just inside the door and waited, five naked people jammed together in the tiny entrance, while one person went and got towels. We toweled each other off in a very leisurely fashion, no one being in a hurry to end the experience. Finally, we picked up our clothes from where we had dropped them and re-entered the non-naked world.

No one commented on our first experience with communal nudity. It seemed so natural that there was nothing that needed saying.

My most pleasant time would have to be my first mixed company social nudity experience. That was in 2001 at age 55. Before that I had always been a closet nudist.

I finally got up the courage to try what I had always wanted to but never did. My only regret is that I didn't do it decades ago. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[steevo]

I've been trying out different social nudist experiences for about three years now. Of course I had to try it out alone for my wife to have nothing to do with it. But each time I would come home and tell her how wonderful it was. Finally I found a place I was sure she would enjoy. She said, go ahead and tyr it by yourself and let me know what you think of the place. Again for me it was a fantastic experience. But this time I was able to tell her that there were several woman in the same condition she was in(over weight) And how if she felt is nessesary she could cover herself with a towle.
I was very nervous that she wouldn't enjoy it. But she had to confess that she thoughly enjoyed herself.
And we have been happy and naked ever since. But that still isn't the most enjoyable time yet. After recently buying a new home, we found out that there is a beautiful resort real close to home. And we both loved it very much. And now we are here to stay. One of the most enjoyable days of my life.
Thank you for listening to such a long story.

Mine has to be the two weeks spent in Cap d'Agde in 2000. For just over a week, I was naked 24/7 and it was the fact that I was able to completely dispense with wearing clothes for over a week that was so nice. At the end of the week, I was so used to not wearing anything that I didn't feel naked at all - I just felt....well....me!

My most memorable nude experience was spending nearly the whole day nude on Fontane Bianche beach in Sicily.

Next most memorable was on the beach just north of Perth (think it's Swanborne). Most number of nudists I'm seen in one spot and almost perfect 50/50 male/female split that day.

[MikeyBear1964]

With the exception of doctors visits, ALL of my nudist experiences have been pleasent!

[Willbtan]

I have had many great experiences as a nudist, but none have been better than July 2002.
My wife and I went with a group of 36 for 11 days rafting the entire length of the Grand Canyon. It was a group of nudist and the only time we put any cover up on was if we encountered another group of rafters. We talked to them and most of the time they said they had no problem with us being nude, so if we encountered them again we did not bother to cover up. This was a grand adventure and the memories will last a life time.
You should try it.

[Jochanaan]

I confess that I have never been nude socially. But sometimes in my late teens I would undress to hike on our ranch. And once I stopped at a creek on our neighbor's property. At one spot it gathered itself into a narrow, waist-deep channel, flowing about as fast as I could swim. I took off everything and spent a wonderful few minutes pitting my own strength and skill against the inexorable flow. It's exciting--for a while--to have to use all your power just to stay in one place!

When I gave up I looked around and discovered that I could see the neighbor's barn! Oops! But to this day I never heard that anyone saw me. Till now it's been my secret alone.

[nudeboots]

Without question my most pleasent nudist experience was a few years ago when I was on a sailing trip with a friend. We were not a couple, just good friends and we basically spent the entire time on the boat nude, totally relaxed and totally non-sexual, just hanging out letting the wind take us where it may. When the wind died, we would just jump over board and swim. It was heaven. The only drag about the trip was when we tied up for the night. I have a small boat so more than one night at anchor is not comfortable. We had to dock most nights and put clothes back on to go ashore. We sailed right home nude, only dressing after we tied up the boat. On a warm summer day, nude is the only way to sail.

[yfenni]

My most pleasant experience was nude swimming lessons, particularly as the teacher, although aged about 45, had a magnificent tanned body.

[Buzzer]

My favorite was, after finding out my wife accepted my nudism, introducing her to it outside, at night, with the both of us being nude. All we did was watch the stars & talk, while in the nude. It was such a pleasure to enjoy her reaction of acceptance experience of nudity for herself as well as for me.

[BamaMan78]

My best experiences at being nude have been skiny-dipping with my wife! We are both in our 40s, and her parents are retired. The in-laws travel a good bit and they frequently ask us to check on their house whenever they're gone for more than a few days at a time (they live about 40 miles from us). We are more than happy to do that since they have a pool and my wife and I can swim together in the nude whenever her parents are away!

[asianaturist]

Living in Asia, I rarely get back to Europe ... but when I do, I always go to this free nude beach in Holland.
A one-hour drive takes me there. Behind the dunes, a relatively crowded place when the tide is up, but huge when the water recedes.
And summer in Holland is never too hot, just sitting there nude reading a book, or even more, walking nude along the beach with my feet in the cool water ... that's summer, that's the pleasure of naturism to me.

[Macanudist]

My most pleasurable experience while nude happened about three years ago at Avalon Nudist Resort in Paw Paw, WV. They were holding the annual Blues Festival. The weather was not really cooperating and one afternoon the rain settled in. Many people retreated to their tents and hotel rooms but I decided to go for a long walk on one of their hiking trails.

The cool summer rain fell on my body but there was no worry about keeping my clothes dry. As I walked into the woods the rocky ground turned into thick, rich, wet humous covered in damp leaves which squished beneath my feet. Once in awhile I would stop and shake a small tree, causing a small burst of water to fall on me. Echoing through the mountains I could hear the sound of bands playing, their music wafting through the hills and combining with the natural music of songbirds and raindrops. I was completely alone and have never felt more alive.

[Orangexcalibare]

My girlfriend and I went camping in a Provinvcial park in Canada for two weeks with 2 other couples and a female guide. We spent the first night just getting to know each other better and doing short hikes to adjust our packs and prepare ourselves for 2 weeks in the wilderness.

Well after the long day, my girlfriend and I excused ourselves to go for a swim. No one was around so we removed our suits and enjoyed about 5 minutes of skinny dipping before our guide showed up. We were out in the water pretty far so we were sure she couldnt tell if we were nude or not but to our surprise and obvious approval, she removed her clothes right there on the beach, waded in and then swam out to us.

She informed us that she always swam nude out in the woods for many reasons including, comfort, excitement and the fact that even though a bathing suit is hardly even a pound, it is one pound less she had to carry while out in the woods! We then shared the fact that we too were nude and that we would love to leave our suits behind.

Long story short, we all then told the other couples the benefits of leaving their swimsuits behind and for 2 weeks in the canadian wilderness all seven of us were nude as often as the weather, mosquitoes, and practicality allowed.

Orangexcalibare...Wow! Sounds like you had a great 2 weeks...I'm envious... /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif Outdoorbare

[Soleil Nu]

Two years ago I spent to most fantastic vacation with a few friends on the island paradise of Cayo Largo.

This island is nudist friendly. Only half a dozen hotels, and beyond the complex, more than 15 miles of absolutely pristine white beaches and low coral clifs.

The best moment was when me and a female friend took a walk on the undevelopped section of the beach. Two hours of absolute delight, in great company, walking completely naked on a magnificent beach of pure powdery white sand; on one side, coral clifs where we could see wild iguanas basking in the sun; on the other side, the infinity of the sea, and the relaxing sound of the surf.

We came back with the setting sun in our eyes, sometimes walking barefoot in the wet sand, sometimes swimming in the cristal clear turquoise waters of the carribean sea. This was beyound words. All we could do was to look at each other on occasion and smile.

Pure paradise. /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

It's great that this topic has come alive again. If we published all of our most pleasant experiences, I think that we would convert the rest of the world.

[Jochanaan]

Update: I have finally experienced nudity among friends! Now I must say that that was the most pleasant experience. See "I'm One of Us" elsewhere on this forum.

You are so right!! It was an excellent time, and I am very lucky to have had that experience. Another one of my favorite experiences was just this past weekend. Once again my girlfriend and I went to the beach, a state park near us, however the weather was chilly and cold. We found that we had the entire beach to ourselves. It was not a nude beach, but we couldnt resist the opportunity to go nude, so we there we were together for three great hours. A few boats drove past but they were so far out in the water that they didnt even notice us. All in all an excellent experience, and the best part was that we weren't even expecting it.

Orangexcalibare...I know what you mean.. A beach doesn't have to be C/O to be enjoyed nude if you are all alone...My wife and I have had some of our nicest times on beaches not designated C/O...Outdoorbare /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[TXK NUDE]

My most wonderful nude experience alone was when I was a teen. Behind my school there was a deep arroyo full of high grass. Everyday during lunch, I would go down into the arroyo and strip down, laying on my clothes in the tall grass, feeling the wind and sun across my skin. I could see the school clearly, but I knew no one could see me. I would lay there for the full lunch hour, reluctantly redressing and going back when the bell rang.

My most wonderful nude experience with others was a couple of years ago when my wife and I went together for our first time at a nudist resort! The entire weekend with nothing on was exhilerating in and of itself, but sitting nude in the hot tub with other couples late into the night, soaking, chatting and looking at the stars. It was so peaceful and nice. I'm hoping, though, that these are not my last. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Dolby]

So far they've all been pleasant. But my most recent one was last Sunday, when I went with a friend to the Ledges in Vermont. The place is (once again) officially c/o in one section, and it's a great place to be. If you haven't been there, you should go! It's a bit of a hike to the c/o section, but I liked everything about it, from the lake, to the scenery, to the people (very friendly). I can't wait to go back. In fact, I'm not going to - going back on Saturday!

[Doug H]

Overall, my most pleasant experience was on the shore of Lake Constance near Lindau in Germany in 1990. It was unofficial, but in Germany, that just means be careful not to go wandering too far. A friend of mine and I were "on the rails" with our Eurail passes. It had been about 2 weeks. I had already admitted to my friend about taking up nudism, and he allowed a few stops to be included in the trip. I reckon by this point I was ready for some lounging on the beach. The weather hadn't been that great for most of time up 'til then and it was a gorgeous day. I like peace and quiet so it was a great couple of hours (once we found it the place!)

In the US, I would have to say my best nude experience was at White Thorn Lodge (PA) for National Nude Weekend two years ago. My first time camping at a large event. What a party!! The only downside to that was that it got downright CCCOOOLLLDDD overnight. (near 50F) I learned to have a blanket handy after that!

While my wife and I enjoy our visits to our local club the very best times for us are on the flats in the Gulf of Mexico. We go out on our pontoon-boat and off the wilderness coast snorkel wade and swim. The shallow water on the flats offers up all kinds of sea and bird life. My wife loves to search for urchens star-fish and other hard to find sea-life. The water is warm most of the year the sky makes a wonderfull backdrop and the unspoiled wilderness coastline is fantastic, often seeing white- tail deer, wild hogs and many other forms of wildlife. We are in our fifties but we feel like kids out on the flats. No skinnie dipping Just--------------------> /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[fred950]

my most pleasureable nude expiriences are whenever I'm at Valley View just puttering around, chatting with friends.

[nudecollar]

Mine is simply to sit and read quietly at the beach. The Lighthouse on Fire Island is currently my favorite place.

[Snoboy]

For me, laying out on a flat rock overlooking the Cook Inlet nude, listening to nature is my favorite pastime. I love to take my easel and sketch the majestic landscape as well. But, alas, the leaves are changing already and it won't be long before winter comes and I will be a house bound nudist once more. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Snoboy...get out there and make the most of the time you have left and send us a picture of one of your sketches...Enjoy...Outdoorbare /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[nudierudieguy]

Snorkelling nude is a great experience, but marred a little by having to wear a snorkel. I mean, that's not naked, is it? But the feeling of weightlessness and the closeness with all the beasts of the sea is sensational. My girlfriend and I always make sure we have a proper, "nuddy", swim before we leave the beach, so we don't miss out! We're lucky in that our local nude beach (and it is very local) is also the most interesting for underwater wildlife -- I think the fact that it's a nude beach puts off serious divers, so we have the tidal pools to ourselves; other beaches can get packed out in high season.

I also love diving naked, particularly spring-board. There are no opportunities for that near here. I spring-boarded years ago in my uncle and aunt's pool in Connecticut, naked of course (and with no-one around), but haven't managed to do so since. I'm looking at us joining a nude club with a pool so we can enjoy a nude swim out of season.

[nudierudieguy]

PS My girlfriend gets a bit nervous about me snorkelling as nature intended: she's convinced that my Mini-Me will get pinched off by a crab. I've persuaded her that we get to see more and bigger fish that way...

A couple of years ago I was headed to my local spot where I regularly sun. It's in Northern NJ and quite unique. I often hike a good part of the way nude. I had just removed my shorts when I spotted a young deer on the trail ahead. It turned to look at me and then walked ahead on the trail. We "hiked" together like this for nearly a half mile. At the sunning spot, I was laying out on my back with just my cap on, eyes closed when I heard a soft buzzing sound near me. I half opened my eyes to see a humming bird hovering next to my bottle of Gatorade for about a half minute.
That day was truly my definition of naturism.

[Nytro]

My best experience so far happened last night, when I walked out of my family room to get the kreepy krawler vac going on my pool, and after being out for close to 15 minutes, working all around the pool, did I remember that I was nude! I have gotten so comfortable with my nudity, that I have to look and see if I'm wearing anything!

Another great experience was during the great blackout last week. My office was still without power on Friday morning, so I grabbed the drawings I have been working on, and headed home to finish drawing them from my computer at home. Once I got to a point where I needed some questions answered, I quit for the day and headed for the pool. I proceeded to spend the next 6 hours naked in my back yard! My yard isn't overly private, but I did know that both of my next door neighbors were gone, so that gave me some liberty! I spent those 6 hours naked working on my pool or swimming! It was the best way to get through the "great blackout"!

[Baron Lake]

My 20 acres of sierra foothill property are "officially" clothing optional and my neighbors are cool with that so home is a great
place to be nude. Another neat option is sailing
on Lake Millerton (often ok at the dock on week days too) or kicking back at the Falls at Bass Lake. Lots of opportunities around here and the coast is only a couple of hours away! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Yeah, life is tough sometimes /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[ned888]

My first most pleasant nude experience was with my future wife, after our engagement. We were sitting together, talking, hugging and kissing, when she stood up and said, "I want to take my clothes off. I want you to see me completely naked." She then took off all of her clothes and posed in front of me and asked "Do you like to see my nude body?" I replied that I did and then she said "I want to take off all of your clothes and see your naked body." She then removed all of my clothes and we looked at each other. We had already determined that we would not have sex prior to marriage, so we could separate nudity from sex. It was a very pleasant experience that helped bond us together.

[Nude in the North]

Last January spent 4 days at Haulover Beach. That in itself was great. But on our last night there I decided to take a midnight stroll along the beach.
It was a warm clear night with just a light breeze blowing off the water. I headed out of the motel with shorts on over my favorite thong, and a towel in hand. The sky was full of stars and I was taking in every sight and sound as I walked down the beach. Not knowing if I would ever get a chance to walk a beach at midnight again I wanted to savor every moment.
As I approached the C/O section of the beach I heard voices. ( No not those voices. LOL!) My heart sank a little as I approached two young couples fishing along the shore. I wasn't going to be able to take a nude walk with them there, I thought to myself.
As I walked up to them I politely said Hi and made some small talk about fishing and where we were from. They were on vacation from Pennsylvania. They had just arrived that evening.
I asked if they knew that they were fishing on the nude beach. They laughed and said they didn't know that. They said that they had never been to a nude beach before. They inturn asked if I was a nudist. I smiled and said that I had hoped to take a nude walk along the beach since it was my last night there. To my surprise they said "Go for it". I wanted to be sure it was really ok with them , especially the young ladies, so I asked them if they were sure they didn't mind. They all assured me that it was ok and they didn't want to spoil the last night of my vacation.
I told them I would walk down the beach a little way before I took off my clothes but they said I didn't have to do that. They said I could go ahead and get naked right there and watch them fish if I wanted to. So I figured "what the heck".
The 5 of us spent the next 3 hours talking, fishing, (they never got a bite) playing in the sand, and having a fantastic time. We even watched a sand crab wander around for a little while.
After awhile I forgot that I was nude, and even though they were all wearing clothes I think they were pretty comfortable being around nudity.
When they were ready to leave, they shook my hand and said they enjoyed meeting me. I told them it was great to meet such openminded young people, and that I would never forget the time we had spent together.

It was one of those times when a person wishes it never would have to come to an end.
