What's your favourite part of nude recreation?

[JD Rocks]

Mine is being able to enjoy nature without clothes!

[need2Bnude]

I enjoy being outside for one, enjoying the sun clothesfree, being able to talk to people who share my same interests, and simply being nude. It just feels better not having any clothes on.

[luvnaturism]

Good = anytime I can comfortably take off my clothes. That implies both privacy and temperature.

Better = anytime I can be outdoors nude. There's nothing quite like feeling sun, wind, and water on your unobstructed skin.

Better still = anytime that my wife and I are nude together. Today we had a hot job to do in the garage, so we both took off our clothes and went at it. Except for the time this morning that we each had things to do away from the house, we really haven't been dressed today.

As good as it gets = nude outdoors with my wife and other people.

[Ben_m]

I don't think I could decide. Athough I'm clearly more motivated (and involved with) nude hiking and prefer average temperatured nice sunny days for it.

[BackpackerBrian]

There's so much to choose from, how can you narrow it down to a "favourite"??

Not wearing a swimsuit that gets wet and baggy, with sand all over it is an incredible part! Feeling the water like it is supposed to deel is also incredible.

But if I had to nail down a favourite, I'd say it is the people I have met and the friends I've made in the nudist community. Really awesome people!

[Nudony]

The best is when my wife forgets to play the part of the "reluctant spouse", drops her towel and allows herself to appreciate being nude and socializing with other nude people...

If only she was that same person 24/7...

[justnude]

This is actually a very difficult question to answer! For me, it would simply be the freedom of not worrying about how I look or what to put on! We are a nudist family and, in varring degrees, are nude most of the time-or not- depending on the mood.

We do enjopy the pool or the beach without the wet suit and the chaffing-yuck!

[james423]

luvnaturism,
I really like your list -couldn't have said it better myself. My absolute favorite is being at a nude beach/resort with my wife.

[Cheffred]

Hmmm in a word, EVERYTHING. I love the open air on my body, the breeze, even the lake when I'm swimming nude its all wonderful. Also I have met the nicest people at the nude beach.

[Nu]

Freehiking !!!!!!!!

[Nathan B]

I love the beaches the best because of all the great folks that you meet. I met a federal judge once!

Second would have to be our deck, it is clothing optional.

And somewhere on the list is the family homestead with two swimming holes that have never seen a pair of trunks or a suit.

[yoga guy]

I love to feel the sun and breeze touch every part of me. I love swimming in the warm ocean water.

[nakedjohn]

Walking along side the beach and feeingl the wind going over my whole body

[oddbutterfly1]

For me, I love to feel the sun and the breeze blowing on my skin.

But most of all I love the confidence that I have gotten in myself since becoming a nudist.

Connie http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[BackpackerBrian]

Yeah, Connie, it is the confidence you get isn't it?? There's something about feeling atg one with nature and with others that gives you a confidence not in what you have or what you've done, but simply for who you are http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif


Ultimately it is the feeling I have after some nudist-time. The confidence you gain, the relaxation, the people, the feeling of the sun and wind puts me in this zen state, which I try to carry all week with me while in the "unreal world"

[Norbert]

I look forward to it all, but the warmth of the sun on my skin is pretty hard to beat ! Unless it is a scorching summer day !

[nudenwv]

no tan lines and socializing with other nudist - making new friends. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

The best part about nude recreation is BEING NUDE. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[FireProf]

...is that my wife enjoys partaking as well. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Cheffred]

I can't agree more!!! If my wife didn't like nudism Im not sure what I would do.

[naked buff]

I like the comfort of swimming and sunning nude, the convenience of not having to worry about perspiration or a clingy swimsuit, but the most enjoyable aspect is the emotional freedom from shame. I like being able to walk around nude in front of other people and be free of any embarrassment. I´m not an exhibitionist, but I like having my body gazed on in a nudist camp or on a nude beach.

[Ed 2]

Swimming nude is the best. But being outside with the heat of the sun and the air on your skin is wonderful

[Nudeinbama]

If I had'nt gone back and read the past post,I would'nt have know JonMarc beat me to it, but here goes anyway, Just being Nude.

Hmmm. It shouldn't be surprising considering the topic is nude recreation/nudism, which isn't about and doesn't involve s__, as you put it.

[NudeDen]

A favorite huh? That is a hard decision to make. I love it all. No tan lines, the freedom of not having to decide what to wear, the relaxation, skinnydipping, no cold & wet swimsuit, the other nudists, the confidence i've gained, and how everything is more enjoyable when done nude(even cleaning up around the house).

[carbuff]

No constricting clothes, and no pressure of fads or styles.

[FemaleNudist]

The best thing is no tan lines and you don't have to worry about your body apperance

[NudeAl]

The best thing for me is the deep feeling of complete relaxation I get whenever I am in a social nude environment. It's almost as if the pressures of everyday living are lifted. A sense of freedom and feeling that my troubles are miles away.

[sliver]

Swimming and sunning are very enjoyable. But my favorite part of nudism is being in the company of like-minded people. Nuff said.

[Ed 2]

The heat of the sun and the air on my skin is the best. Love nude sunbathing.

[Dakotawalker]

There are four activities, when done nude, that I find to be most enjoyable; hiking, swimming, being nude around the house, and sunbathing.
I am most relaxed when doing any of those three. It is a feeling of freedom, confidence, one-ness with nature, freedom of stress, and pure enjoyment!
Which do I like the best? An all-day hike, I suppose. It lasts the longest. I simply love nude hiking with my wife, that is just pure enjoyment!!
Which do I like the least? Sunbathing, I suppose. There's no activity and I need to be active, it's just in me that I need to.
The other two, swimming and being nude around the house, fit somewhere very closely in between.

[Dakotawalker]

I've searched all over this page and cannot find out how to start a new topic, which is what I want to do. Nothing works! So, I'll start it here and hope that the powers that be can place my start where it should be.

The Naturist Society, in the last issue of "N" magazine has indicated interest in starting a "Naked Gardening Day" sort of in response to the Naked Bike Ride Day that was held this summer.

What are your plans for a "Naked Gardening Day"? It should involve any kind of gardening activity; from pulling weeds, to pruning, to picking flowers, to picking up trail trash, to you name it.

My plans are to pick grapes from our small vinyard and make naked wine with them. My wife said she would be the photographer and shoot me while picking grapes nude. I'm very pleased that she volunteered to take the pictures. Then I'll write a short article about the activity and send it, along with the pics, to "N" magazine for their write-up in the next issue. It pays to read "N" magazine.

What are your plans for Naked Gardening Day? It is September 10th, this coming weekend. Don't miss it!!
Dakota Walker (George)

[cronat]

For me too, the feel of the sun, wind and water on my skin and not to worry about ugly, wet swimwear is the best part of nudism. It is incredible what a difference not wearing a swimsuit make. People who never tried nude sunbathing or nude sea (ocean) swimming, usually can't understand it.

[justnude]

To me, this is a "no brainer". The best part is simply being free and naked with other like minded folks!

[Buff Man in MI]

The wonderful people I meet who give me a great feeling of family.

[ScubaRay]

Idealy it would start off by waking up nude and having breakfast to figure out the rest of the day. Get some house work done and once the day is done have a long sleep the way the day started- nude. This would be my perfect world version so I enjoy every moment that I'm nude when I can. The feel of having nothing on is great if only for a few hours.
Ray

[steve-o]

I really enjoy not being constricted by clothing during recreation/sports: volleyball, tennis, yoga, hiking, and swimming feels great without a "suit" (or as they say in Britain - a 'swimming costume').

[PanHandleHiker]

My favorite is hiking, but swimming is a close second.

[fre2bnude]

Just being without clothes, I love the sun and wind on my body.

[GMiller]

Social nudism has given me confidence in myself and my body. Also the friends I have made judge me only for who I am, not what I wear and how I look.
Ginger

[Nude in the North]

The Nude part is my favorite part. My recreation activities are somewhat limited. But as long as I can be nude, I'm happy.

Steve

[dancin\'bare]

Not having to decide what to wear.

[Jason Heh]

My favorite part? How I've grown to accept myself, and through this I'm living my life the way I want. And I've never been happier.

Isnt that always the problem, that while we might say what will people think about us, its always the opposite, its what we think about ourselves that prevents us from being nude...

My favorite is sharing social nudism with my husband and our friends.

[grl66]

Being new to naturism, my favourite part is definately living all these new experiences with my partner. My ex wife laughed at me and implied I was some sort of perve when I brought up going nude. My partner is not only interested in listening open mindedly to the thoughts of others, but is now also joining in at times and enjoying it http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[DoctorSurferDude]

It feels like a vacation....

[73Corvette]

He he Volley Ball!

[Orangexcalibare]

Spending quallity time with my girlfriend and seeing the smile on her face, especially while swimming.

[stephen russell]

Summertemps, Being Nude, wind blowing all over me, swimming freely, being at ease.
BUT need finding someone to go with or I connect to meet there etc.
Pvt home, club? hotel????
Legit & for adults.
(closet nudist,prac 2X in 2003).

[bareit]

I agree to with Jon --being nude is the best part. I am just sad that the wife is not in agreement with me and I must enjoy nudity alone.

[NudistGuy47]

Being one with nature is the best part to me!

[FireProf]

Now don't you guys start throwing rocks at me....but my favorite part of nude recreation is that my wife shares it with me. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I'm one of those lucky ones that is fortunate enough to have a partner that enjoys nudism almost as much as I do. I can be naked all the time, she gets cold easily, so she will dress from time to time when the weather doesn't cooperate.

Stress relief is a huge benefit for us with nudism. My wife can be a stress case from time to time. Like last night after she got home. She began getting all worked up over work and school. I told her to take a deep breath, go upstairs, take off your clothes and I'll have a drink for you when you get back. She did, I handed her, her drink, and the conversation continued but on a much calmer level. Getting naked works! http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

As far a recreation is concerned, I have always been athletic. Played sports in HS (track, football), played for our ships baseball team while in the Navy. Play basketball at work, love playing volleyball on the beach, play a little tennis, paddle tennis and just about anything where my body's in motion.

My wife on the other hand is not into athletics. She will play various sports but does not like when it becomes competitive. She loves to watch me make a fool of myself sometimes. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Nude recreation allows me to participate in sporting activities and be nude at the same time. I'd love to join a club and play softball in the nude. I'd also like to play a round of golf nude as well. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[Hooked]

My favorite parts are the sunburn, mosquitos and critical views of the non nude public. I especially like having to lie to my family lest I shock and disgust them.

Sorry, that was a joke http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I like all the things everyone else has mentioned pretty much. It cuts out an unnecesary thing in my life (clothes) at certain times which streamlines things. I also like the opportunities that have come from social nudism, recently posing for an artist whom I never would have met otherwise and also all the friends I've made and the newbies I've helped bring into the lifestyle. No tan lines, nude 5 Ks an volleyball. There is really little NOT to like about nudism even though many people tend to accentuate the negative when what they are really doing is making excuses because they don't want to confront their fears. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Being without clothes, stress freedom, being able to share my lifestyle with others, enjoying the openness of others and the fantastic feeling of the wind and sun on my body. Being happy.

[tinner666]

I went to a public beach last year to hang with my friends that refuse to come to our nudist resort. They can't understand what we like about being nude.
It was interesting to watch them trying to get suntan oil under straps and pulling at bathing suits to get more tan around the edges. And just tugging at their bathing suits, and tugging. As we also tugged. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif We only lasted 3 hours before we begged off and headed back to camp, with a heightened appreciation of our chosen preference to be totally nude.
Nudity is just natural. Frank http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Avionics6]

Hey, BB, I can fully empathize with your statement. My first visit this weekend brought up those feelings, that camaraderie I haven't felt for so long. I want to add something. I went walking in my back field when it was just misting slightly the other morning. When the rain hit my bare skin, it felt like a million tiny icicles hitting my skin. Oh, ecstacy! How can I describe it! Words fail me!<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by BackpackerBrian:
