Story on How have you told your parents about your naturism/nudism

[leafu]

I'm wondering how has anyone of you here managed to tell your parents about your likes of being a nudist/naturist or been in the nude.

No one can really answer that question for you. At your age, it would be safest if your parent(s) knew exactly what you are doing, wether clothed or naked. So for safety's sake, one or both of them should know. If people were more open-minded, than they would realize that nudity does not need to be sexual. In other words, just cause you are nude does not mean you are having sex. American society is messed up to think that nudity=sex. Do you think your parent(s) are open minded enough to be reprogrammed to understand nudity does not equal sex? Can they understand that kids used to skinny dip all the time in the local swimming hole (maybe they skinny dipped as well or still do)? There used to be a time when P.E. at school used to involve a shower at the end so you did not smell all day. That nudity was not sexual. Maybe give us an update and more description of your parent's beliefs so you can get a more informed discussion going....

By the way, at your age i used to like to get naked also. There was no internet to discover that i was not the only one who liked to get naked. I never did tell my parents, and my dad is older now and probably would not care. Maybe i will tell him one day, he probably has already figured it out anyways......

There is no law which demans you to tell your parents. Of course you are allowed to do but think twice when you do it.

Only you have a feel for how your parents would react. Wanting or considering telling your parents does indicate that you must have a pretty good relationship with them. So it is really up to you to decide for yourself. Welcome to the forum and stay nude when you can!

i thought it would be hard to tell parents about being a nudist it wasn't i told my mother and father in law i was a nudist and again it was not hard but both occassions a negative result about being alllowed to be nude in front of them but at least they now know and who knows somewhere down the track something might happen at least my wife is accepting of the fact that i am a nudist and allows me to do waht i want to around the house also is thinking about coming to a nude beach with me.
i have now hit a snag when it comes to my mother and father in law they say i can do what i want in my own home but my wife says when they come over i have to cover up well now i find out that they will be coming to live for awhile so there house can sell there goes the freedom of being allowed to do what i want to do around my own home( unless i lay down the law but i do not think that is going to work) so much for nude freedom.

I turned 30 this year, and only told my mom I was a naturist last summer. I've been a naturist since i was 21, but was always too scared of my mom's reaction to tell her. Anyway I decided to tell her last summer, guess what her reaction was! Oh I already know, apparenty she had read an acticle in a magazine and guessed I was a nudist years ago. If I was you I would tell them, However you know your parents best. You know their opinions on nudity, but the longer you leave it the harder it will become to tell them.

I wrote to my friends about a visit to a c/o beach and when my parents responded, I said that I'm usually nude around the house all the time. That's how they know. I'm in my late 20s, so I hid it for about half my life. They might've known or not. All I know is it didn't seem to be a big deal. I think it's easier as an adult, because if you survived the child years without much hassle or incident, then they will see it less as a sexual or in your face rebellion thing and just accept it as part of who you are. So, if you're young, it might not be as easy since they will try to exert influence on you. You might just want them to discover it.

I didnt tell it. She beknew herself somewhere. And only she said was (to my wife) "Dont understand why he need it, do he really arent satisfied sexually with you darling?". Oh those mums, she supports own kid even if deeply misundersands `kid` motives... She is clever woman somehow.

Boy, I greatly regret not having asked my parents about wanting to be naked. Each night was a struggle during puberty, high school, and college. I think that if I were to have told either one, it would have been my Dad. He and I were close, but the upbringing from my Mom was one of 'nakedness is sin' attitudes, so I wouldn't dare consider it. But my Dad was somewhat open about some things. What I struggled with was that tormenting woody each and every morning, having to get dressed to go to the bathroom which was in the same room, and barely making it to the toilet for that first of the day pee. Man that was rough. Recently I watched my brother making light of his son who just entered puberty and has a few hairs in in his armpits. I am mad at myself for not pulling rank of big brother. He and I, as well as another brother, would always pee together when we were kids, running in from outside playing street baseball. We'd hold it in to the last possible second so as not to interrupt our game. There's nothing like street baseball when you're 10 or 11. Anyway, we had always run in to the toilet and all 3 of us would pee at the same time, which now I find it so funny.
I quit doing this when this same brother humiliated me in front of God and everyone that I had hair around my penis. I thought I was gonna die from pure embarrassment. No one had told me I was going to have hair down there, that and other things. Now I see that same brother embarrasing his own son.

I've decided I'm gonna pull rank, and force both of them to talk about this, to cease that body shame, and talk about that difficult time of puberty. I don't have any sons, I have daughters instead. My daughters each had their first menstrual cycle when it was only me around, their Mom being at work, and me at the same school where my kids were attending. Their teachers brought them to my office quietly and discreetly, and I pulled of a Mr. Mom. This has been a great bonding between my daughters and me, and they know they can always come to me about anything since then.

Now I'm thinking, 'Man, I should have asked my Dad. I'll bet anything he and I could have talked about nakedness, nudity, puberty, and other facts of life.' I remember only too well how my younger brother embarrassed me, and he did not hold back anything, he let the whole neighborhood know I had hair around my peepee.
Man, I thought I was gonna die when he did that.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

If I had a son, and if I never had brought this up, and if he had asked if he could be naked around the house and stuff, I would say, "Son, I love you. You're very important to me. I always wanted to be naked at home, so I know how you feel. I'm glad you asked me. Yes you can be naked around the house. While we're at it, lets talk about some other things...."

Recently, one of my daughters who is now an adult herself, caught me naked, standing in the middle of the room, nowhere to hide. I wasn't doing anything, so why bother covering up. It was very awkward for both of us, so after a few minutes of my standing there I told her to let me get dressed. I regret that. I should have stayed as I was and gone on as usual. My wife and I have the house to ourselves, so I enjoy being nude at home a lot now. Hey, its MY home.
I can do what I want. I pay the bills.

Well, I just wanted to share this with you.
