This isn't just an issue for someone your age, we all have the honors of having to share our lifestyle with others we know and love...adults are no exception [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif[/img] And while it may be more of an issue for some, it still is an issue for all of us as to who we tell and who we elect not to tell.
My advise for anyone having to do this is, is do it privately and if this could be an issue where unpleasant feelings erupt, then do it at a place other than home...neutral turf...like a park or wherever. While most of my family knows...very few in my case don't, many of my friends don't [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] And remember, not everyone should know you are a nudist...I for one find this lifestyle a way to reprogram my body and mind when I am in in need of getting rid of stress.
Here is one other tip for telling someone in your family (I am assuming you are a minor). Except the fact that they may disaprove...not everyone understands the bennies of being a nudists and not everyone is comfortable with their bodies as are a lot of old timer nudists...and remember, not everyone knows that us old timers are nudist in our circle of friends...another word of things not to list on job applications [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]
Oh, and yes all of my family who has a need to know I am a nudist, knows although they may not approve at the moment of my choice in being a nudist...it still is not a secret and yes, they were told by me and not someone else...
Another good rule of thumb...is to be the one telling of your decision to be a nudist and not someone else who has understanding of what the nudist lifestyle is all about [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img] as are many non nudists who have never been exposed to the lifestyle in a positive way [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

i would say to enjoy your private time at home nude. no need to tell. if you want to expand your nudity realm to be nude when other members of the family are home, than i would sit down with them and explain why you feel this way. if they are reasonable intelligent adults (which many parents are not) than they should understand. another option is to come to breakfast naked or stay naked after a shower (or skinnydip in the home pool) when only your mom or dad is home and than explain all this to him/her. it might be beneficial to 'divide and conquer' one parent at a time. maybe direct them to this website so they can see that nudity is not about sexual activitiy. please keep us informed....Comment

Thanks for your advice greensunshine and florida-dave. Ill have to try it soon.Also I can't go into my backyard nude we no fences or a pool.Comment

I am a little like you.i live with my parents and i dont think they would like me being a nudist very much so i just go nude when ever i can around the house which is still a lot of fun and relaxing.i do happen to have a brick wall around my fence so i can lay outside nude everyonce in awhile but for the most part i stay inside.if you can drive you might be able to go to the woods or a secluded place and hike in the nude or if theres a place within walking distance.i have learned that you have to be quite creative when it comes to people like you in me that have to stay hidden from our parents.Comment

even without a fenced in yard, you could go naked in the backyard at night. that's what i do sometimes so i can do my stretching exercises and leg lifts. depends on your yard and neighborhoood.Comment

You might want to weave in a recent event into your conversations( the nude day-camp, for example) in a non comittal manner. Then judge your dad's reaction to the subject. And at all times, remember, it's still your parents house.

John, you don't have to tell anybody unless you want to expand your times to go naked while your parents are around. I am going to assume from your alias that you are 16 (or at least turning 16 sometime this year). Now, I am not hip on Ohio but there may be a nude beach (anyone with info please help) nearby so that when you learn to drive, you could possibly go there solo on some weekend.
If that plan falls flat, you will be stuck living your life as an home nudist until at least you leave for college.
Good luck.

I don't think it's really something you HAVE to tell your parents about. Basically, my first day at college was my first day as a nudist. My home was in Florida so when I'd go back for summer, I spent a lot of time out back in the pool nude. I think being a nudist is one of those things that, if it comes up, then be honest. But no need to just come out and say, "HEY! I'm a NUDIST!", especially if it's going to cause stress/strain in your relationship. No one in my family found out until 2 years ago when I went home for Christmas, went to Haulover and had forgotten I was white as a sheet from having lived in NYC. My butt was redder than a British Tourist and I couldn't sit down for a day so I had to explain why. It caused a little unrest, which is why I hadn't said anything. So it's not really a shame thing in not telling sometimes.Comment

Do you normally sleep in the nude? If so you might leave your bedroom door open and when you get out of bed don't cover your self while in your room.

While my family wasn't nudist, it also wasn't unusual after a bath to walk back to our rooms nude, get dressed and join the rest of the family. You might want to try that.
As I said before, you might try weaving a nudist subject into your conversations. On further thought, do so one parent at a time. Say, your mother first(alone) then your father (alone).
But by all means,if their reaction is hostile toward nudity,DROP THE SUBJECT. You are still a minor, you still live in thier house.Comment

Hey Mom and Dad,
Just wanted to let you know that I've discovered I'm a nudist at heart. It's not about sex or perversion, I just like the freedom and comfort of being clothes free now and then.
If you want to talk about it just let me know. And let me know how much you want me to keep this a secret from you and other family members. I'd rather be honest with everyone if that is OK with you.Comment

I don't think you want to show up in the kitchen or living room nude when others are there if it is not an accepted practice in your house. I would use to approach of going from your bedroom to the bathroom nude to take a shower, and return to your bedroom nude after the shower. I wouldn't sneak or time it to be sure to be seen. I would just do it in a natural way. If you are seen and challenged that is a time to talk about it with the one that catches you. If your family does not accept nudity, I would confine being nude to my own room and the hallway to the bathroom. It is difficult to argue that you can not be naked in those two rooms.Comment
