FireProf excellent post. I belong to a group called the Camping Bares and this is similar but not quite the same situation at the monthly meetings in members homes. My wife has been uncomfortable going in certain circumstances mainly because she isn't that comfortable with her own nudity. But the group accepts clothed spouses and it is always clothing optional at these events. I think another thing that put my wife off is she is the jealous type and some of the members, she felt, seemed to be to friendly towards me. I am oblivious to things like that, she says I'm naive. I prefer to think I just look for the best in people and don't try to read to much into things. Anyhow due to the perceived over friendliness by some she has been turned off to going to these functions which is a big disapointment for me as this is the greatest social outlet for meeting other nudists I had found. I still like to go to thier meetings occaisionally and some of the camp outs they go on but she is pretty much not interested. Ah well, she still likes to go to the resorts with me but we don't do that to often. I keep telling her when I retire from the Marines in two years I want to be a full time member out at De Anza. We'll see. Anyhow congrats on having a nice nude visit.

Randy, On the message board at Netnude.com there are a few people who are reporting on the hurricanes' effects. You might go there and inquire. Sorry, but I don't remember which topic.
Hugs, Cheri

I agree and thanks again, I am appreciating this circle of friends more and more each time I experience an evening with my new nudist friends...my girlfriend will not have anything to do with it YET and I am not pushing the issue...I have picked up a lot of good suggestions since I have been with this site...thanks

Chuck,
Our road to social nudism has been everything but smooth and easy. I think that's why I am so willing to post these stories and tell others out there that there is hope for you and your significant other to compromise and try nudism and then just give social nudism a try.
If we can do it...most other can as well and I hope our stories, experiences and advice can give other women and sometimes men that are reluctant to trying nudism, some degree of courage to venture into this great lifestyle.

Great FireProf..these are the kinds of "success stories" that gives those of us who are breaking into the more social aspects of nudism...it is so cool when I read these types of experiences that start off with a lot of apprehension and anxiety and then end on such a healthy and wholesome note...kudos to your wife for having the courage to take the attitude "I can do this"..that was great...your story gives me even more confidence.

I have some questions for the people of South Florida.
What are the conditions in Miami?
I hope things are getting back to normal for you.
How is the beach after the hurricane?
I'd like to come and visit Miami for a while. But being unemployed, I have no resources right now. Is there anyone you know of who would be willing to trade a room and a small amount of pay for cleanup help? I'm not trying to profit off anyone else's misfortune. I'm in a bad way myself, but maybe we could help each other out.

Thanks to all our friends here for their replies. We have been talking alot about this last venture and as some of you know, we are having guests stay with us a day and night prior to vacationing at a nude resort for a week. This small social gathering at one's home was a great ice breaker for my wife. She is talking more positively about future get togethers and seems to really be getting more comfortable with the setting.
I have worked extensively to provide us with the privacy we need in our backyard to live our lifestyle inside and outside our home. She is a little reluctant to return the favor of having our nudist friends...some 3-4 couples over to our backyard for a nudist get together. Right now she is okay with the idea of returning to our friends home that is just as private but the neighbors on either side of them don't know us. She is afraid of what our neighbors will think of us and get the wrong idea about us should they look over and see 8-10 naked people in our backyard.
I can understand that and will just continue on that road of Patience until she is comfortable with that, as of now, we are awaiting our next invitation back to our friends home.
Thanks again for the responses...I'll keep you all updated on the progression as always. |

Great FireProf, glad you got by the first hurdle, which is the biggest. I hope you and the prof start enjoying it, it just takes time and patience. Good luck.

Cheri,
Though we are not out of the woods yet...I can see daylight through the trees. This was big for us and for my wife because getting through this intimate event is what I think was keeping us from ever joining a group like the Travelites.
My wife was uncomfortable with this type of gathering so when asked about joining a club or group, she quickly answered "no". Several more intimate gatherings like this one will allow her to become more comfortable with smaller groups and then she'll be more willing and comfortable with the idea of joining a nudist group or club such as yours.
We are planning to go again to these friends home for another nude gathering in the future. When I did mention to my wife that one day soon we were going to have to return the favor and invite all our nudist friends to our house...her eyes got as big as dinner plates!
I told her I would let her make that decision when she felt comfortable...thought I best not press my luck!
Thanks for the well wishes.
Calmnude,
Yes.....patience, lots and lots of it. It has paid off ten fold. There was a time that my wife would wear a shirt around the house when it was just us, she said it felt more comfortable that way. Now, as I look across the room, she on the desktop and me on the laptop, I see her bare body working on the computer, something she was uncomfortable doing last summer. She even cooked nude this evening, another one of those thing she said she thought she couldn't do.
Yes, everything is working out and I owe it to patience, understanding and mostly my wife's willingness to try something first before saying she absolutely won't do it.
and thanks to you also for the well wishes. |

We cleared another social nudity hurdle this past weekend. Our first social nudity gathering with some close nudist friends at their home. We've know these two other couples for about 3 summers now and one of the couples has invited us to their home to enjoy the pool, sun and food. This intimate gathering has always made my wife nervous and a little uncomfortable, so we have always declined or come up with an excuse why we couldn't make it.
We talked in length and decided if we didn't go this time they invited us, we'd probably never be invited again. There was still one small wrinkle in the day...another couple we had never met would be joining the six of us. The anxiety for my wife mounted as we approached the front door of our friends home.
Our female friend answered the door dressed in a sundress, her husband was in the back ground nude, carrying something into the kitchen. We exchanged hello's and hugs with our female friend, walked into the kitchen where we did the same to our male friend, her husband. The ackward part of the greeting was knowing when to get undressed ourselves. He was nude, she was in a sundress so she could answer the door for the other two couples when they arrived, I wanted to get naked and my wife is uncomfortable taking her clothes off in their family room. The door bell rings and it's our other friends arriving, we exchange the same hello's with them, my other friend begins taking his clothes off after saying hello so I follow suit. The guys are all naked, the ladies are still dressed so we head outside into the back yard with our drinks.
About 5 mins later, two of the women, my wife and our one friend emerge from the house nude, the hostess is still dressed awaiting the couple we have not met. The three couples are very comfortable around each other but this is still a new setting for my wife. She is doing quite well at this point. About 10 mins. later she decides to go inside for a refill on her drink and walks into the kitchen where the new couple has arrived and are clothed, the hostess is still clothed and she is the only one nude in the kitchen.
According to my wife, when I asked how she felt, she took a deep breath, said to herself, "I can do this", and greeted the new couple, got her drink while they all got undressed and emerged from the kitchen with the other couple and the hostess, nude and smiling and laughing. We ended up having a great time, my wife was so happy she went and we finally took our friends up on their invitation. We had a previous engagement that evening so we had to leave earlier than the others but not after 4-4 1/2 hours of conversation, nude ping pong, nude air hockey, and nude paddle tennis, along with lounging in the pool on air mattresses, and most of all, friendships new and not so new with like minded people.
All this and on her birthday to boot! She had a good Birthday in her Birthday suit! For me it was like getting a great present, my wife enjoying social nudity on yet another level, and it wasn't even my Birthday!
For her, another social nudity hurdle she was able to get over, which was much easier than she thought. We are now looking forward to our next invitation back so we can stay much longer. |
