Just wanted to say hello.
Just like a lot of others, I've slept nude for years, and couldn't imagine going back to wearing anything to sleep.
About a year ago, I started to get into the home-nudist concept, but my partner was "not in agreement"...
Well, its taken some time, but for the past couple of weeks, I've managed to sunbathe nude in our backyard everyday, and have done most of the chores around the house naked too - 100+ temperatures have assisted in this transistion!
I've come to view nudism from a personal growth perspective. I am a recovering alcoholic, who was INTENSELY shy about my body. So buttoned up it was ridiculous. Now, with several years sobriety, and a whole lot of work on myself, I've come to realize, by working through my fears, that I've got nothing to be ashamed of, I'm no different from anyone else, and I am exactly as God intended me to be.
I couldn't even undress in front of a mirror seven years ago, I hated myself that much. Years of getting a legitimate massage once a week, and sitting in a steam room with a bunch of other people, finally made me come to terms with my body, and accept it.
Now, I'm ready to be as accepting of my body in everyday life. Its the next step of acceptance, I think.
I wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience? For me, its just a beautiful thing.
