wanna be naturist

[nic]

hello, im a 20 year old male and im interested in trying naturism out.

ive been sun bathing in thongs and g-strings for a few years now and feel comfortable enough to maybe go all the way. its also quite embarrasing in the showers at my local gym with a g-string tan line, everyone assumes that im gay which im not.

what are the first things i should try doing? i still live at home with my mother but she is cool about sunning in a g-string so she may also be ok with being nude i hope.

thanks

If your mom doesn't mind you sunbathing ing g's then I say go for the all over tan! If she questions you on it, it sounds as though she is an open person and just discuss it with her.

What part of the country are you in? Others could help guide you to a beach or resot near you. It's funny, I work with a very cool kid named Nic with a really cool mom and this Nic seems like he is a naturist type although I have never questioned him on it. It would be very cool if you and he are one in the same.
Good luck!

she is cool about me wearing g-strings in the garden and round the house but when certain people visit i have to put some shorts on.

i suppose i have 2 choices, just do it and see what is said or discuss it first. when i started to wear a thong or a g-strings for sun bathing i was 16 and just did it and waited for the consequences.

it must be a good feeling of total freedom and i think id like that

It sounds like your mom would be cool with the idea, she is your mom!
I think you should just go for it and roll with the response. It seems like the next natural step.
Thats how I started, my wife accepts it, the neighbors either don't notice or just don't say and I'm covered around others who don't want to understand.
I enjoy the occasional visit to a c/o beach and time spent in nature in the nude.
I say just move forward with the gut feeling, it's usually right.
You'll find there is no other feeling like being totally nude in the open air. With or without others around.
Enjoy life while your able...

here's an idea, go sunbathing outside when you know mom is gone and that she will be back in a short while. sunbath naked even when she comes home and see what the response is. either she will freak and say something, or she might not notice, or she might notice and not say anything. than next time, just go naked and see what the response is.

I do not know where you lived, but when I moved to the SF Bay area in California, I discovered that a local paper (SF Guardian) did an annual review of nude beaches through out all of California. Based on their recommendations I visited a few. There recommendations were on the money. I suggest you find something similar for your area and pay a visit. Would hurt to be a bit less shy than me as far as talking with folks there. Just a thought....

i think ill risk it and see what happens. hopefully everything should be ok i guess.

last year when i was out sunbathing one day, i was caught out by my mother and 3 of her frineds she had invited over for drinks with nowhere to hide/cover up and they were all cool about me lying there in a g-string, my mom's pretty cool like that i guess. she seemed to accept that so maybe even accept me wanting to sunbathe nude. i hope so as there isnt really anywhere else to go where i live, just the back garden.

Good luck with your adventure and keep us posted

to nic. I think you should just be straight forward with your mom. You're old enough to make decisions, more so than as if you were 14 or 15. If she is comfortable with you in only a g- string I'd say to her something like this, "Mom, this little thing I'm wearing barely covers up what's underneath it. You & I both know what's there so why should I barely cover it. Is it OK with you if I cut out the foolishness and be totally naked since we both know that's what I want to do." She will probably be OK with this and well may ask why you waited so long.

I would also find out her ideas about being totally naked in front of her friends, but from what you said about their reaction to the g-string I doubt you have a problem there either.

i dont actually want to be nude in front of people as such, i was just saying that my mother seems that comfortable and happy about me sunning it in a g-string that it didnt seem to trouble her when her friends were there either so she might be totally open minded to me wanting to be nude. a g-string or a thong doesnt exactly cover a great deal anyway, just enough really to not be naked.

i think ill have a discussion about it tomorrow.

[florida-david]

maybe my first response was a bit silly, but you could talk to her about it and suggest that if she has a problem with seeing you naked, than you could tan in such a way that you are not openly in view. it sounds to me like she would not care about seeing you nude. i understand that your nude tanning is more for comfort and to get rid of the tan lines than to expose yourself to your mom's friends. i also agree that you are old enough to make this decision on your own and an open discussion would be better than the sneaky way i suggested. if she is ok with the nude tanning, you might want to see how she feels about you being naked elsewhere in the house as well (while you are on the topic with her).

please keep us posted....

i think the reasons why i want to try sunbathing nude are im sick of getting strange looks when im changing at the gym.

i do spend a lot of time at home in the summer months wandering about in a g-string so i could give it a go i guess aswell but its more to do with the sun tan really.

as for not openly in view, yeah i think thats a good suggestion to make as it cant cause much concern even if people know but cant see.

i have a plan for tommorrow to sort of suggest what i want to do. daft idea but its the only way i can think of bringing the subject up. ive got my favourite white g-string for sun bathing hanging up in the laundry room. so my plan is, i have to walk through pretty much most of the house to get to the clothes rack, so im going to do this nude. 99% chance i will have to walk past my mom. grab the g-string off the rack but dont actually put it on and basically say "how would you feel if i didnt put it on for a few hours in the sun?"

i know that she has a bbq planned for later on but i should atleast be able to get a few hours in first before having to put something on.

thats the best way i can think of doing it.
