telling parents?

[nudetom88]

A few months ago I found about about naturism. I decided to just give it ago around the house when no body was. It feels great! I like it that much I want to be able to do it all the time, but I'm worried about telling my parents. I'm not sure what they'll say and I'm worried that I'll get and erection in front of them because I do get erections when I'm just by myself.

Does anyone have any past experience on when they've told their parents and does anyone have any tips.

Thanks

nudeboy2k3: There are a couple of ways to handle this. First of all, what is your age? That has a lot to do with it.

You can simply ask them about your wanting to be nude and see what their expression would be. The expression will be either pro or con. Unfortunally, if the answer is on the con side of the picture, then you have to find ways to be nude when they are not around. On the other hand, if they are on the pro side, then you have it made.

The other way is to be seen by 'accident' in your room or in the bathroom after a shower. You will find out immediatly their standing on the issue. Should you ever have the go-ahead to be nude, then go. As far as the erections, don't worry about them. Just don't flaunt it, especially if you are allowed to go nude around the house. Being able to go nude at home for the first time in front of the family and walking around with an erection would surely send the wrong message.

Good luck!

[nudetom88]

I'm 16 years old. Thanks for the advice, I'll try the "accident" routine first, lol.

[kevincabrera]

Nudeboy2K3,
My suggestion is this...simply tell your faimly that you have just learned about naturism/nudism and that you want to explore it. Don't hide the fact that it is something that you enjoy, celebrate it. If your family does not welcome the new you, then explain to them that you will celebrate nudism in the privacy of your room. And should they walk in un-announced, don't reach for a cover-up because they have been warned. Never flaunt it, just always be yourself and you will be accecpted.

Thanks <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>You need to introduce your interest in nudism in a manner that works for your particular parents. Do you have a relationship where, for example, you could talk to them freely about sex? Or are they kind of uptight about such things?

If the former, you can probably just come right out and mention your interest, and ask if it would be OK if you stayed nude sometimes.

If the latter, the best choice would be to break it to the gently, over time. One way that often works better than talking about it is to let them spot you nude briefly -- e.g. in your room, walking from bathroom to your room after a shower, maybe finding you nude pouring an orange juice in the kitchen in the morning. Over time, you increase the amount of your nudity at home. At some point you tell them that you've become a nudist and explain something about it.

Sounds like you get what I call "embarrassment erections", which occur when your penis realizes that someone (even a male family member) can see it, or even might see it. I got these a lot right through my 20s.

Your parents' reaction to your erections will depend on how comfortable they are with nudity. Have they ever gone to clothing-optinal beaches, or anything like this?

My nephew (not a nudist) used to wander around the house nude on occasion and sometimes had an erection. His mother and sister laughed it off -- no problem for them.

If your parents are laid back enough to accept your occasional erections (your father may relate quite well), I think that you'll find that you get fewer and fewer after your penis has had some experience being out in the open.

Good luck, tellingyour parents youve been given some good advicefrom other posts.
I agree with take it slow , and pro or con dont give up if they see you are sincere about this and its not just a passing fad that will meaningful, it might take an adjustmentperiod.
When I was your age I got the same erections when nude and alone at home , I think it just felt good to be free.

[fred950]

2K3, when I was your age, it wasn't unusual for my family to walk from the bathroom to our bedrooms nude.If I may expand on what nudeM said, talk to your parents about how you feel, but do so separately. It tends to be less emotional that way. Best of luck to you. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[nudetom88]

Thanks for all your help. I'm going to try the accident idea first and see what their reaction is.

I'll tell you how I get on.

Thanks again

[nudetom88]

First of all I walked from the bathroom to my bedroom naked. My mum was in here bedroom with the door open, but I'm not sure whether she saw me. If she did then she hasn't said anything.

Later on I sat in my room completely nude except for a cover over my genitals. She asked "Why are you naked." I replied with "Because I want to be."
She jokingly then said "Err, you naked." Then she walked off.

I'm not sure whether this was a positive reaction or negative?

P.S. I covered my genitals because I didn't want to rush into it.

[Rex]

Hi nudeboy,
I grew up in a village West of Leeds.
My mother was very much into encouraging me to be comfortable with my body, because of such things as showering nude with the other boys at school, before and/or after sports, needing medical treatment, and getting called up for the armed forces. [We all were, in those days.]
When I was 13, I decided I was more comfortable sleeping nude, even during the Yorkshire winters.
My mother was a bit surprised at that, and came up with the old objection, what if we had a fire, and you had to run out into the street naked?
I told her if the house was on fire, I reckon being nude in the street would be the least of my worries.
Laughs all round, and the subject was never mentioned again.

[kevincabrera]

Nudeboy2k3,
Nice work. Take it nice and slow and you'll ease right into acceptance.

[nudeM]

Nudeboy2k3: Great job. As Kevin stated, take it slowly. Sounds like your mother has, at least for the moment, accepted your wanting to be nude. Only time will tell. Now, what about your father?

[NakedShayne]

nudeboy, Lets hope your parents are ok with this. I do like the idea of you taking it slowly with them first. It will make them understand your feelings and not shock the Chi_ out of them LOL.Hope all goes well

[florida-david]

nudeboy2k3 - sounds like you are off to a good start with a mom that seems open minded seeing as she did not get out her bible and start preeching about your perversions. i would say take the genital cover off and enjoy your bedroom and head to the bathroom again and see how it works. do you have a brother or sister that would object? and is your dad ok with nudism?

[nudetom88]

My dad came into my room and didn't mention anything of it at all. He just acted normal. I'm not sure he'd act the same way if I were completely nude.
To florida-david- I have an older sister who I'm not sure would or would not object to it.

[vsusinga]

Hey dude. any more luck beign nude at home? im 22 but im still tryin to see how well my family would handle it. where are u located man?

[Trailscout]

If you feel strongly enough about it to be nude in your sister's presence on brief runs to the bathroom or bedroom, then it's a good time to go ahead and share with her why you are doing it and ask her if she wouldn't mind your nudity as long as you are not in her face with it.

I hope you have the kind of family where everyone is willing to show some "give and take" as everyone attempts to get their needs met.

[nudetom88]

No ones home now, so I'm nude as I type this. I haven't had chance to be nude with someone at home, so no more luck.
To Trailscout - I might try the bathroom to the bedroom routine again, but this time make sure someone's there, lol.

[LEAVE ME ALONE]

Ironically enough, I never had to tell my mom about it...she had already picked up on it...My brother got a rude awakening, hahaha...good times

out

[Trailscout]

Do you find it easier to be "caught" running around in the nude than to talk it out ahead of time?

I would think they are trying to figure out what's going on with all this sudden nudity.

[nudetom88]

I think I'd prefer to talk about it ahead of time, but I'm worried about what they'll say.

I think I like doing the caught thing because I don't have to say anything and I'm not flashing it about. They're the ones who've "accidently" seen me and can say something or not say something about it.

[LEAVE ME ALONE]

HMMMM...I don't know it all depends on the person and how opened minded they are...

I don't mind being caught as long as they are willing to talk about it and not just assume...but hey, you can't have everything...

Outtie

[nudetom88]

I read on freebodyzone.com that the owner of the site used the lazy method, where they'd get out of the shower and only where a towel. That way it was easy to cover themselves up whenever anybody came in. I might use that but gradually not bother to cover myself up.

[Doug H]

My first nude experience was also my first "got caught" experience. While watching my friend's 2-year sister run around nude at his house with my parents and I present one evening, I asked my Mom about her being nude. She said that there was "nothing wrong with it." The next evening, after dinner, I went up to my room (instead of staying downstairs as usual) to watch my favorite game show on TV. I undressed as the show began and sat on the end of my bed. Being 7 years old, closing the door didn't occur to me. My mother comes up the stairs with laundry, turns the corner, and there I am. She asked me what I was doing. I said "Watching TV" She said, "In the nude?" "You said there was nothing wrong with it." was my answer. She laughed and went on. I stayed nude until my game show ended, then got dressed and went downstairs. No one mentioned anything. Strangely, I didn't do anything like that again for a long time. When I read stories of nudist children living with nonnudist parents and having the freedom to go anywhere in the house they want, I ponder what might have been for me.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained" they say.

Based on that experience, my gut feeling says that all but the most intolerant of parents are willing to go along with something harmless like being nude in the privacy of one's own bedroom. Whether that extends to an "open door" policy, small excursions for life's necessities, or into more public areas of the house is a matter of question. From what I've read, the more harmless you make it, the more harmless they'll think it is.

Doug H.

[Trailscout]

I see things the way Doug does. Sometimes calling yourself a "NUDIST" and hanging a sign on your bedroom door that says "Official Nudist Lives Here" is almost like telling all your friends at school that you are a "Carrotian" because you like munching on carrots. There is no such thing as "Carrotians"; eating carrots is just something lots of people do.

Nude is what we are as human beings. It is the people who have this compulsion to wear clothes at odd times who have to explain themselves.

Maybe it is better just to be nude when it doesn't bother anyone and let the chips fall where they may.

I had an adult nephew living with me who had a problem with me being nude. I compromised for a while and didn't go completely nude around him. However, I gradually got him used to seeing me in less and less, and seeing me nude at times, until he was comfortable with me being nude ALL the time. He even told his then 10-year-old son that it was my house and I could be nude if I wanted. His son called me "weird". The boy quit looking at me and wouldn't hug me any more--unless I was dressed. I figured that was his problem. My nephew even got to the point where he would sometimes walk through the house nude, and he even went to Turtle Lake Resort with me--but only once, unfortunately. I was hoping I had gotten a convert.

[Tomek]

I greet!

I my name is Tom. I live in Poland. Yesterday dust 30 birthdays. I interested oneself when I had had 6 years with naturism. I feared always to say my parents that I want to be naturist.
It it was wished was I did not it read your statements a dozen or so summers this. My parents would can then accept that I like naturism?
Today parents knowledge, that I am naturist, but they do not it speak about this. I think that they put to shame.

One wished! Because I know that they liked naturism once also.

When dust 11 years, they took me on nudists' beach. Unfortunately - beach was closed then. It will not it it is possible entries there because police closed her on that day.

Think, that they got scared and therefore they did not it become naturists.

I greet
Tom

P.S. I apologize, for mistakes, but I tell in English faintly.

Ok, Tom, I will try my best to interpret what you were trying to say. I realize that if English isn't your first language that it's difficult to speak, write or understand it.

If I understood correctly, you just turned 30 years old? When you were 11 years old, your parents took you to a nude beach which was closed. They never went back, and now it's closed?

You're interested in naturism, but you're afraid to tell your parents because you think they might disapprove? If they were once interested in naturism. I can't believe they would have a problem with you wanting to enjoy it.

Is there any nude beach near you, or a nudist club or resort where you could go and enjoy being nude with other people? If not, there are all kinds of ways to enjoy being nude. I just used my imagination when I was young (I'm now nearly 58) and found ways and places to be nude alone. Now I live in a nudist resort full time.

[Tomek]

Namedun: Yes, I used programme so "English Translator ?. It this Polish programme to translation from English on Polish and from Polish on English.
I understand English when I read. Unfortunately I - do not it know to tell and to write in English.

Jon - Marc: You understood well. My parents took me on nudists' beach, when dust 11 years. Police arrived on that day and they told with all to lower beach.
I think that my parents got scared just this?

I think that when police left, men they came back on beach to sunbathe in the nude.

Nevermore my parents did not it to weigh out to tackle me on naturists' beach. I know, whatdon't? I know that they to today did not it resolve to do to become naturists.

Five years later, when having I 16 years old came back thereon beach. I happen there, what year, I sunbathe to today and never it it was not police because beach had was incorporate. At present on many maps my city ( the city Lublin, 160 km from capital city of Poland - Warsaw), in place where the naturists' beach is, it is visible the inscription: naked island (because it is this small island on lake).

Then truth! Despite, that I have 30 years, my parents do not it accept my naturism! Alone I I does not gets the idea, what do? Year this, my father told me once to remove my side about naturism. I did not it make this because side was popular. It contains for naturists the list of beaches in Poland and therethrough I put several years in her many work.

It in Poland has not nor club for naturists, nor association for naturists nor centre for naturists. Only unofficial, distant from human concentrations beaches are. Therefore only I on beaches can walk.

To say shame, but, in spite I, that I am grows, work and have on departure money, my parents forbid me to go to naturist resort in Croatia.

I greet warmly!
Tomek

[MikeJB]

Id never tell my parents because theyre stuck on their religion and like my mom would be okay with it but my dad he would have a problem with it and would give me all this religious crap about why it isnt decent for me to do that or whatever and I dont want to hear a big lecture from him so I wont do it. As soon as I move out I dont really care what he says ill be nude all day and even have a big sign on my door saying im a nudist. Id tell my parents when im really far from them and dont have to hear their flack about it.

[Elton]

Someday, though, you have to tell your parents. Your parents may be stuck on their Religion, but the whole clothes thing is really a part of Western Culture.

You can always say that the Hellenes (Greeks) were nude when they performed at the Olympics, or that the Egyptians prefered nudity. Or you can say that Jesus Christ, Ephraim, Manasseh, and Moses had grown up in clothing optional societies (Egypt for Ephraim, Manasseh, and Moses. Roman Judea for Christ).

[Tomek]

Elton: I want to say my parents that I like being naked. However I think that they will not it accept this.
I it can not them say about ancient Greeks because they will not it understand this.

Can them to say, that I am adult and have the right to my opinion and right to being naked when I want.
However I am sure that they will say that I went mad. They will say also that they do not it want to look at me naked because then it ties them.
Think, that fear, that all mon ami will oneself they with me laughed. They fear also that I will lose work if mon ami with work find out that I am nudist.
I do not it know, what to answer them then? Large unemployment in Poland is. And my parents buoy oneself, that I will lose work.

My parents thought, that homosexual men on nudists' beach come. It is then truth! Also homosexual men on every naturists' beach in Poland come, looking for from accidentally sexual switches got to know boys and men.

I think, that just therefore my parents did not it resolve to do to become naturists.

I greet
Tom

[Trailscout]

Tom,

When you were 11 years old (19 years ago), it was 1985 and Poland was still a Communist country, part of the Warsaw Pact.

Now your country is free and you should be more free than before to be nude on the beach.

At 30 years old, you should still respect your parents opinion, but you must also make your own decisions about nudity when you are not under their roof.

If there are problems with homosexuals on the beach, then you may be more comfortable traveling there with a friend instead of going alone.

I understand that there are nude beaches along the Baltic shore of what used to be East Germany. If Croatia is too far, perhaps you could vist a German nude beach when the weather is warm in July or August.

[Tomek]

Then truth, that in 1985 year Poland was communist country. It is careful that in years 80 in Poland broad-minded communism was many historians and many men. Especially after 1983 year, when war state was done away. Communist party in Poland further ruled is sure however naturism did not it be parlour game. Nor at press, radio and TV, nor on especially separated beaches.
For 1983 year in Poland naturism has appeared. In 1984 was already very popular he, until till 1989 year. Interest later decreased among polish with naturism clearly.
For 1983 year till 1990 year in Poland Miss' elections be held Natura. Events these be provide sound in by press, radio and TV.
In 1985 year well-known Polish singer - Zbigniew Wodecki, hit brought out "Chalupy Welcome to ?. Chalupy this small hamlet on peninsula Hel. Naturists' beach is there. Probably thanks this song yet until quite lately the most famous.

So so you see, - in spite, that in 1985 year Poland was communist country, naturism did not it be forbidden. He in this period was the most popular.

Problem with my parents depends thereon that they fear that walking on naturists' beach I be become raped, or alone I will become homosexual.

Know, that then nonsense, but I do not it know them to convince that it is differently.
Many beaches in Poland are for naturists. Not only along the coast Baltic Sea . I alone I am after Polish beaches guide's author for naturists. He is accessible on my side of WWW. Unfortunately - only Polish. I know English faintly. Though I translated guide on English with the help of programme "English Translator ?, then I put to shame him to webcast my, fearing that there a lot of mistakes are.

I dislike in house to spend in the nude. I like visiting nudists' beaches as well as it was dripped in pool in the nude. I the most like however sunbathing in the nude when heat out of doors is. My parents have beautiful garden over lake. Though it was can there char in the nude, they forbid me thereon. Even when I am in only garden. It is me with this reason unpleasantly.

I do not it know as to convince them? I it do not anything bad yet!

I greet
Tom

[Tomek]

Elton: I apologize, for mistake. It excuses me only then, that I know English faintly. I thought that you had was written to me this what.

[soofreeemateomanian]

I was first introducd into naturism by chance. I have always been interested in animals, so I went on google and typed in "naturist" instead of "naturalist". That was a surprise. I had always wanted to be nude, but I always recieved the message that nudists were perverted weirdos. On my Laptop in my room I secretly looked up these websites. Being nude in my room or around the house isnt an option right now. On saturdays and fridays I lik sleeping nude, But i get an rection when i get into bed, and its hard to get to sleep. any ideas? anyways, when I am ready to show my parents, Ill show them what my future job might be like, and type in "naturist" on google. I hop to be a naturist naturalist in the future. Adios!

[soofreeemateomanian]

what the heck? what happened? I didnt post here!this is kinda weird. Sorry for the double post. why is this here?

[nunne]

Mateo - you can go to one of the posts, click on edit, and delete one of them.

Probably about the only way to get rid of the erection is through masturbation, but I don't know if that is a viable option for you. It requires being alone, having something handy to clean up, and not feeling guilty about it.

Good luck on becoming a naturist naturalist. It looks like you are already one step there.

[MikeJB]

Yeah it was a bit sensitive down there for me too when I tried to sleep nude, problem is I stopped doing it after that and itll prolly happen again next time because I didnt give myself enough time to get used to being nude in my bed, besides im just worried im gonna get it dirty from those parts being in my bed anyways.

[LeeR49]

Wow, that was a rather strong response, Mateo. I guess I don't see what the big deal is about Nunne's suggestion. But, obviously, that's a very personal and private thing.

As for telling parents, I have to add my story. All I can say is that I really wish I had told my parents when I was 16 that I like to be nude, instead of waiting until I was 45.

If anyone had reason to avoid the topic, it was me, My parents had always been clearly anti-nude for as long as I can remember. In another thread, I've already told about the time, at age 6, that I was caught in innocent nude play with a neighbor girl a little younger than me. Let's just say that my folks didn't send a pro-nudist message then, or at any other time.

But after decades of hiding my desire to be nude, and finally realizing that modest, chaste nakedness was not in conflict with my Christian values, I gathered up the courage to say something to my dad. I was visiting them (they live 1500 miles away), and was looking for a chance to bring it up gently. When the time finally came, I directed the conversation toward nudism. Much to my shock, Dad didn't react negatively. In fact, he told me that his parents occasionally displayed their preference for nakedness (although not where the kids could see them) and that even he had harbored some interest in it, himself. But, like me, he thought it was a bad thing. So, he had taught me that it was bad.

But now, here I was, the Baptist pastor of the family, telling him that I thought it was OK. Before long, I began hearing reports from him and Mom that he was spending more and more time around the house nude. We would talk freely about it, and never was there any sense of negativity. That is, except for my mother, who remained solidly prudish, but at least tolerant of Dad's "streaking," as she called it.

And then came the big shock. It seems that in recent months, Mom, too, has taken to being nude at home. Dad tells me that they rarely wear clothes at home anymore, unless people are visiting. They have considered going to a nudist park, but have not yet gotten up the courage. It will happen eventually, though, I am sure.

And, I look forward to my next visit with them, when I anticipate that we will be able to enjoy each other's company, dressed in the clothes God gave us.

All because I finally told them. I can only imagine what would have been different had I opened up years earlier.

Lee

[soofreeemateomanian]

sorry about that immature post. I was wearing clothes, so i wasnt myself.

Well could you please edit it so the page returns to normal width please?

[P.J.]

My wife is the only one that I know of (personally) who knows that I'm an at-home nudist.

The reason that I'm an at-home nudist is simply because I have not yet had the opportunity to indulge in nude recreation at any nudist beaches, camps, colonies, parks or resorts.

As for telling the rest of my friends and family members, they do not have a "need to know."

Unless they want to engage in clothes-free recreational activities, there is no point in telling them.

Some folks have a problem accepting nudism. If family members are uptight about being nude in front of others, there is no point in upsetting them.

[iamtoasty]

Nudeboy, have you progressed with your nudity in front of your family?

[nudetom88]

Unfortunately, no. My dad found me sleeping naked and didn't react well. I'm going to keep it to myself for now.

[Trailscout]

Nudeboy, it sure is different from one household to the next. My dad NEVER wore anything to bed and he often roamed the house in the nude after his nightly bath. Mom used to say, "Boys, your Dad's a nudist, just doing his thing". I went a long time as a textile teen until I began loosening up when I turned 18.
