Family Nudism

I have been a nudist for 5 years now. I discovered nudism while vacationing in France. I was 20 at the time. I was so excited about it that I emailed, my mother, back home about it. I also included some pictures that I had take of the beach and people I met. I told her that i wanted to live a nudist life someday.

The day after I returrned home, mom was in the kitchen preparing breakfast. I remember sitting at the table and pouring mysefl a cup of coffee, when mom asked me why I wasn't naked. Her question took me by suprise as I had no idea why she would think I would be naked. I guess the look on my face let her know she needed to explain herself. She reminded me about the email and pics I had sent her and assumed I would want to live nude now that I was home. I didn't know what to say or how to respond. She asked me if I had changed my mind about being a nudist. I finally was able to tell her that I had not changed my mind, but that I thought she wouldn't want me living nude in her house. She said she was OK with it as long as I was Ok with it too. You can imagine how I felt. I wasn't expecting to live nude till I was on my own and now, out of the blue, i was being given an opportunity to do what I wanted. I looked at her and said that I was OK with it as long as she didn't mind. She remined me she had just said she it was OK with her if I wanted to be nude at home and suggested I go ahead and undress.

Mom probably hadn't seen me naked since I was 9 or 10 and now she was expecting me, her 20 year old son, to undress in front of her in the kitchen. I remember standing up and pulling down the shorts I was wearing. It felt so unreal, in once swift move, I was standing completly naked infront of my mother. I sat down and drank my coffee while mom finised making breakfast. While we were both eating breakfast, mom laid down some rules. She said no one was to know about my home nudity, I was to be dressed if she had company and I or my friends could not be nude when they came over.

It has worked out well for us. I feel very comfortable being nude at home. It was a bit wierd at first, mom being clothed and i nude, but I'm used to it now and it feels normal to me. She likes that I help her with her cleaning, gardening, etc. Mom is good about letting me know when she is having company.. She has over the years made passing comments about my body etc. But then, it wouldn'b be natural if she didn't.

Are there other home nudist who live with thier non nudist family? What has your expierence been like?

Family nudity at Japanese Hot Springs

I have spent many years in Japan, and I have visited many hot springs resorts there. No one seems to make a big deal about nudity there, as it is considered to be a "natural thing". What is most interesting is the fact that many Japanese visit these resorts as a family. It is so refreshing to see entire families, husbands, wives and children, all frolicking in the nude together. Coming from America, one does not see this too often, except at nudist resorts.

Hi my first time naked in front of my family was at 15 yrs old .i always enjoyed being nude in my room but wanted to go nude infront of my family. I had a shower leaving my clean clothes and pants on the airer in the lounge knowing my mum 17yr old sister was in there with Carol out next door neighbour who had popped round .i walked naked into the lounge with my towel around me and said sorry i left my clothes on the airer walking infront of them by the airer i let my towel drop from my bum showing the three of them my ass they laughed saying nice ass . Carol says weve seen your ass lets see the rest , mum said you wouldent dare drop your towel totally my sister said yea go on drop the towel , oh yeah i said dropping the towel exposing myself to them wouldent dare?Carol said im soo glad i popped round , i was getting erect by now mum said better cover up now my sister said no stay naked im getting used yo see you naked and erection s are natural , i staid nude the rest off the dayand was nude at home ever since

We have always enjoyed the freedom of nudity at home. After coming home from our respective jobs we would shed our restrictions of the day and enjoy the evening. In the 80's when our Daughters came into your lives nothing changed. They were taught to love the body that Mother Nature blessed them with and that Nudity is not nasty or dirty, just the minds of the uneducated and punks. When our youngest daughter gave birth to her son he was immediately exposed to the same lifestyle of nudity. He is now a Pre-Teen and nothing has changed. Wether everyone is home or not we are all Free and Easy in our own skin and nobody is embarrassed.

Welcome to Zity, both Stockcar & Kinky-Couple ! It's great to add nudists to the site. Now if we can only get everyone else on here to be nude, we'd have a real party.

My son is comfortable walking around nude when it is shower time, but is otherwise apprehensive about even taking off his shirt around other people. I've gotten him used to the fact that i like to be nude and he doesn't pay any mind to it, as if it's natural. This works out well as a good thing if he comes into the room & i'm jacking off, vs if i had my boxers lowered or reaching into them. This way i can simply just stop and it looks like i'm just hanging around nude, so he's not likely to suspect what i'm really up to. (My back is to the door in my chair, so he can't really see me when he walks in)

We had a big family and small house---Privacy and nakedness was just a given with males including my dad---It had nothing to do with being modern or liberal it was just the way it was----However for my mothers and sisters privacy and modesty was absolute--I guess modesty was just something observed totally with females and never thought of with males including dad

I had some freedom to be nude at home when growing up. Sometimes I was nude and my mother had her clothes on. Or it could be the other way round. We could be nude at the same time. It didn't seem weird to see each other nude except for me if I had my foreskin back when washing. It kind of felt like that should be private somehow. But as it was she saw it exposed every now and then at morning shower time.

It wasn't allowed in my family we kids could be nude but only in the bath. From then on it wasn't allowed at all.

When I was growing up we were pretty open about being nude in my parent's house. Not that we would walk around the house naked at all hours of the day, but in the morning before dressing it was OK and my husband and I did the same thing in our house. It was also not unusual for us to be seen in various stages of undress while getting dressed or undressed.

Between my parents, I'm pretty sure it was my mother who was the sex maniac and my father thought he was getting what all his guy friends wanted, so he was game for whatever she wanted to do. In my house, when our daughters were entering puberty, they asked their father to wear underpants and not be completely nude in the house and I am positive that was from social conditioning they got in school.

Several weeks ago, my husband, daughters and I were having a BBQ on our pool deck and after we ate dinner, our daughters came out topless and wearing the tiniest micro bikini bottoms that just barely cover the labia to go swimming, which they had not done in front of us before, so I guess they felt pretty comfortable with their bodies.

@Switchablesusie - have your kids moved out of the house yet, and if they have, did you and your husband go nude before your daughters were born, and have you gone back now?

Same here DrJ. No one in our house was ever nude except we kids at bath time. We'd see my mom in bra and panties sometimes and sometimes she would whiz down the hall after a bath.with a towel covering the frontal when she would forget her underwear. So I did see her butt a few times.

One is in graduate school in NYC and the other is in college in NJ. They come home for vacations and some weekends.

We were nude all the time when we got married and so were the girls until they entered puberty. Then social pressures changed them. As empty nesters, my husband and I do go around nude.

I'll test the waters next time they are home by going around nude. If there is no response, I'll see if my husband is game. I just don't want to throw him out there and have the girls be shocked. They might still say they like seeing their boyfriend's cocks but they don't want to see their father's.

I think family nudism is perfectly fine and to go back to original post if only one member is nudist as long as others at home don't feel uncomfortable then I think it's totally fine.

When I was first married before we started our family we would both have no issue spending as much time nude at home as possible.

Switch hit the nail on the head once our eldest got a bit older and I think taboo / social norms made a difference I nearly always wear underwear at the very least at home. Wife will make the dash room to room bare but won't hang around nude at home.

Who knows once at switches family age maybe it will sort of go full circle and won't be so affected by social norms etc and will be be nudist once more.

Let us know how the social experiment goes switchable.

I grew up in a very open environment. My sister and I shared a Jack & Jill bathroom, and saw each other naked every day until we left for college. When we were small we took baths together every night, and many times our parents would shower next to the tub while we bathed. After our bath, my mother would always retract my foreskin, making sure I washed my penis. So we had a comfort level regarding nudity and bodily openness. We had a private pool in our yard, and no one in the family wore swim suits. For me, a healthy and formative way to grow up.

When I am home in my home I am nude. So is my sister and her girlfriend. The only time we put on clothes here is if our parents or someone else visits. My sister and I grew up in a strict family, church on Wednesdays and Sundays. Always properly dressed. It was hell just getting our parents to let us wear bikinis. If mom and dad saw you put your hands down there they would stop you and tell you that was nasty and bad. I don't recall ever seeing either of them nude. My sister and I shared a room but it was different to them. We were sisters and that is normal. On top of that my sister married a guy just like that. She is divorved now and lives here. I guess we are expressing our freedom now.

My wife and I have been to MAR dozens of times for years before we moved. It's just outside of Denver, Co. It is a family style atmosphere with several families that have permanent residence there. We loved every minute there. The freedom of living nude is actually peace and tranquility from the neck up. I have always tried to explain that to people who are shocked when they find out we used to do that. The sexuality factor is non-existent and completely separate at the time. However, if you appreciate the human form as art, like nude renaissance paintings or sculptures, it can be a turn on in bed much later. For me and my wife it is a very easy switch to operate and our marriage and sex life has been envied by most of our friends and family. We try to tell them it can be that way for them too, but they always chicken out when we invite them.

I grew up in a open environment. There were only two bedrooms and my brother an I shared the room with our sister too well into our teens when we moved into a three bedroom house and our sister got her own room. By this point nudity was the norm, not that we went around nude all the time. Just in the course of every day life, dressing, getting undressed, bathroom, and going to bed. When I got married nudity was taboo to my wife for everything, except the bathroom, or bedroom (we both liked to sleep nude). Our kids grew up in a closed environment and it's made me realize that it's far more healthy to grew up in an open environment being nude around other family members in the course of daily life feeling good about ones body than the way my kids grew up not being around nudity.

Having grown up in a very open family environment, regarding nudity and sexuality, I would like to ask for the input of others who had a similar experience, or are providing that as an adult ?.

Well it is not like we meant to do it but when I was at home and lived with my mum some times we saw each other undressed for a long time if we were just around in the house. It did not matter if we had clothes on or not. We did not just say we were not going to wear clothes but being nude just some times happened. It was just us and no men about so it was ok. It was cooler as well in hot weather to just be nude.

It was cooler as well in hot weather to just be nude.

Are you talking about hot weather in the UK? Does that ever happen? I've never really known it to be warm enough for nudity in Belgium. Got to be way down south for that to be agreeable and pleasant.

Yeah @agracier we have not really had a lot of heat in the last 2 summers but in 2014 we had quite a bit of hot sunny weather around June. I think our summers could be a bit stickier about 10 years ago than they are now really. We have global warming so our summers get cooler. Hahaha

My wife have been to nudist parks in California 30years ago and this summer in Oregon and I feel no shame for wanting to be naked around other people. Most of the time it is much easier to start a conversation and people seem to be relaxed for sure. Also I saw no openly sexual situations but I'm sure they exist. we don't plan on sharing this with our kids at this time but someday they will find our membership cards, ha ha .

When I am home in my home I am nude. So is my sister and her girlfriend. The only time we put on clothes here is if our parents or someone else visits.

Please, by all means, don't feel you have to put on clothes if i come to visit. Especially in a hot state like Arizona.

i was in Arizona once. When i walked over the Hoover Dam. That was about it.

I am so glad to live in an area where we have a nudist community. I have a home there and am naked 24/7.

Family nudity was a common practice in our home while the kids were growing up. We lived rurally, and enjoyed nice cabin on a secluded brook. Our neighbors were summer people from Eastern Europe, and they also spent their leisure time in the nude, All very comfortable ,as their daughters played with ours.

I someday would like to live this type of lifestyle.

I grew up in a nudist family , my dad, step brother, and me, but we kept it quiet among ourselves. I remember visiting a nudist park a few times but mostly we were closet nudists at home and since we lived on a farm in a rural area we could even enjoy ourselves outdoors and go swimming in our above ground pool. Nothing beats the sensation of not wearing a swim suit.

I find a nearby nude beach that I go to a few times a week when the weather cooperates... My 8 year old daughter knows to I go the "beach where you don't wear clothes" I'm open and honest about it. It's just her and I now and we run around half naked at the very most 90% of the time we're home. I wish I felt more comfortable taking her if she wanted to go, but there's never any kids there, only adults so I think I'd wait until I find a more family sort of place.

My parents never went naked just because but they also wouldn’t hide when they were changing or showering.

I’ve seen my dad and mom naked while changing, showering and peeing. We would pee with the door open all the time.

As I got to live on my own my sophomore year of college, I started going naked when I was in there.

When I met my wife, she would go naked with me and even as we got our son, when he was a baby we would go naked some.

Once he became a toddler we decided that we would no longer go naked around him because we didn’t want him to say something at school and folks assume the worst, after all we do live in the south.

My wife has gained weight throughout the years and as of today, hates getting naked because she hates her body. She knows I’d be a nudist if I could but if I just hang around the bedroom naked after I shower, she asks why I’m naked.

She now cannot separate nudity from sex on top of her body image issues.

As for my son, he sees me in boxers but that’s it. If he ever discovers nudism in his own, good for him but I’ll keep my family safe before trying to expose him to that.

If he ever becomes a nudist as an adult, I’ll join him lol

I used to sleep naked when I lived at home but I had to hide it..I used to go outside my bedroom at night when I thought everyone was asleep. I would sneak into the kitchen to get snacks and drinks while naked..
