Besides nudist boards, I am on other boards of various topics, such as motorcycles, music, etc. I've made many friends over the years on these other boards, and all of them know of my love for being naked.
A few friends have started to really become interested in the lifestyle now. One lives in New Mexico and she tells me how she walks around her house naked all of the time now, and would love to be able to venture outside naked one day. Another lives in Iowa and said she now spends more and more time naked around the house, and thinks about things differently now (seeing the potential for nakedness in situations). She has even started driving with a button down shirt that she leaves unbuttoned so that she can open it and feel topless. It's still cold, so she hasn't done fully naked or bottomless yet. But I suggested to her to try a skirt that she can lift up at first, to get used to the idea. I sent her the link to this site, and another nudist site I'm on, and she has been reading the posts and threads and is considering joining the sites as well.
Just curious to hear any stories from others who have converted people to nudism. |

Not sure if that poster is real or not. She messaged me a few months ago with her story about how she became a nudist. I replied and we talked about Jamaica, because I’m supposed to be going there in July. I told her I heard Hedonism is more sexually oriented, so that’s not one we want to go to, etc. After a few exchanges, she disappeared. Then she came back and messaged me again a few months later and told me the same exact story about how she became a nudist. I didn’t respond to that one. Then once again, when I said I was sick a few weeks ago, she messaged me once more telling me to get tested for COVID-19. After that, the messages disappeared and so did she. |

As I just posted in another thread, A female coworker of mine reached out to me about nudist beaches. I had posted something on Facebook about needing beach therapy and the picture was some people at a nude beach but censored. She messaged me and asked me what beaches I went to. I told her of the closest beaches and she told me that she’d always want to try it. So we’ve been talking a great deal about it the last couple of weeks. She’s thinking of trying it this summer. Today she told me that she did her laundry in the nude because I inspired her. Hopefully she keeps on track and keeps doing more and more while nude. |

A friend who takes the arrival of brisk autumn weather as a signal for her to get busy doing summer holiday planning recently called.
"You guys always go to nude beaches, right?" "Well, we've just never figured out why anyone would want to get dressed to get wet, unless of course you work as an under-water welder in the North Sea in winter..." "Well, we've never tried it and thought it might be a bit of an adventure. Would you have any suggestions for nice places that aren't, you know, set up for sex orgies? Places like you guys go."
The conversation turned then to all the possibilities, either in the Caribbean or Europe, but in terms of "conversion," I realized that it was just years of them knowing us, hearing normal holiday stories, that allowed her to look beyond stereotypes and think that it might just be a pleasant kind of vacation. |

Even though our girls were being raised a nudists, later in the teen years they stopped and asked us to dress while they were home. We covered but rarely... "dressed." The Prof wore her short terry cloth shorts and a tank and I wore nylon Dolphin short shorts with the liner cut out. We were covered but never really "dressed" when it was just the four of us.
When they got older and were gone all the time, they'd leave the house and we'd get naked. When they returned, they were asked to ring the door bell twice and wait a few seconds and then use their key to open the door. We explained to them about our continued life as nudists even though they did not want to continue. They thankfully understood. Later... the invention of cell phones was a great addition to our getting a heads up before they came home. It was mostly for them. If they had trouble seeing us nude, then they needed to give us the same respect we show them by covering while they were home.
All bets were off when they both left for college. To this day, both of them in their 40's, call or text us before coming over. Even our grandkids do the same. They may not live this way but they know we do and they respect that. Funny... we've had our oldest grandson coming over on Monday's for some time now to get help with school work from Granma the Eng. Prof. He came to the door recently without a prior text. We knew he'd be coming so we were dressed. We have a Ring doorbell and it alerted me of someone at the front door. I looked at the video and it was our grandson. He was about to ring the doorbell but then must have remembered he didn't alert us via text so he went back to his car and texted us and then waited a couple mins and returned to the doorbell! Those are some well trained grandkids! We laughed about it and told him, "we knew you were coming and were ready!"
We'd been "caught" several times during that period when our girls stopped being nude around the house and we continued. We all talked about it and explained our preference for not wearing clothes and reminded them about how they once lived. It took a few "conferences" about it but they finally caught on and actually responded quite well to it. I think we don't give our kids much credit for understanding what we do and why we do it, when it comes to nudism. Taking into account that at their ages, nudity equals sex, it's a constant reminder to them that that is not the case as nudists. Thankfully, many kids get it. Sometimes easier than some adults!

I hear you Nudony. I don’t push her into anything at all. She’s not much of a home nudist because for one, she’s the type that gets cold real easily, so she prefers to be outside in the sun. Second, her kids are there most of the time but even when they aren’t, her oldest son is 18 and he can pop in and out, so she’s worried he will come home and find her. But she’s always up for going to the beach and now she really enjoyed Bare Oaks so she wants to find the time to go back there. Probably won’t be until next summer. I also have a friend that is a nudist and lives at a nudist park in Michigan. He and his girlfriend were at Bare Oaks and we spent half a day with them. They invited us to stay at their place some time so we will probably venture there too. We’ve been looking at other nudist resorts around us, within a 6-7 hour drive and talking about visiting them. |

Conversion has never really been what I've/we've been after with friends and family. It's always been about educating them on what nudism is and what it is we do. Some get it, some don't, some aren't sure they believe what we're saying and to all of that, I/we say, we don't judge you for your way of life, your inability to be mature enough to grasp the concept of nudism so don't judge us and our lifestyle when you know nothing about it and all you know is misconceptions and conjecture.

Seems to me you're doing a good job so far!
But I do think one of the goals is to be mindful of one's expectations and the partner's boundaries. Otherwise you could be setting yourself up for failure.
Some partners might be ok with a couple of resort trips a year; others might prefer to be nude at home and not socialize so much. And the lucky ones among us have partners willing to go full-nudist with little encouragement. I personally recommend focusing on what actually works; and then progressively suggesting more; keeping communication open.
For those that are familiar with my story with my first wife (which I've discussed ad nauseum), it was a slow process; beginning with home-nudity and progressively increasing time spent naked at home. Which led to a couple of trips to the nudist resort every year - which then increased to a couple of times a month. Which then led to the joint decision to become a nudist family - along with out daughter. All this was the product of many discussions/open communication. And time. A lot of time lol!
With my current wife, we're at a couple of nudist resorts per year and casual nudity at home. Right now I'm just focusing on that because it works for her. We've discussed more nudity at home: she's not really into it but is open to the idea of "Naked Sundays"; where we spend some extended time at home hanging out naked. It's a simple goal and we'll work on that for now. Maybe after a while I'll start suggesting more time naked at home; we'll see how she feels about Naked Sundays.
It's normal to look at or read about other couples going "full nudist" and be a little envious if you're not there yet. But you have to brush that off. Every couple dynamic is different so comparisons are futile. It's better focusing on what you have now to work with. Would I like for my wife and I to be naked at home and visit resorts a couple of times a month like my fist wife? That would be nice. But my current wife is not my first wife; their feelings about nudity are not the same so I'm not trying to recreate what I once had or what someone else has. I think it's important to "keep it real."
Just my humble opinion.

I'm up late at night, sick with a fever, so don't mind me too much. I'm not myself, but that could be great for this forum. Hahaha.
I had to laugh a bit about the concept of "exposing" someone to nudism. Hmmm. I guess they would be exposed if they agreed to join a nudist in going to a nudist beach. Some might say a person was exposed as soon as they started their full participation at a clothing-optional beach.
I've tried to get people to join me at a nudist beach, at the far end, where no one else was. No sale! I did get my first person to join me, but that's a ways off till summer. Hope they don't chicken out at the last minute. Awww buck buck buck. I told you I was feverish. LOL
I agree that you can't push someone into being a nudist. The best way for a person to "convert" is to try it for him or herself. Of course, you can plant the seed in their mind, and let them think about. A good sales person will try to get the product into the hands of their victim I'm sorry, that should read, "prospect." LOL A prospect holding the product, according to the sales psychologists, feels like they're taking possession of product. Once they take possession of it, the sale is a lot easier to make good. Although though you can't put nudism in their hand, you can still get them thinking about it. Perhaps you can give your prospect some nudist literature that obviously would show ordinary people doing ordinary things, except sans clothing.
If one reads the nudist literature, the idea can be conveyed to your prospect that a lot of people are enjoying non-sexual nudity. If a lot of people are doing that, the textilist might not want to feel left out of the fun. It's up to them to be the explorer of the idea. Let them "hold the product in their hand, and take possession of it."
Time for my meds! Auuggghhh.

MrsAzLagoon is her usual perceptive self. Attempts at "conversion" tend to be counterproductive at best. People are bound to be skeptical of someone telling them "You'd be so much happier if you were naked."
I'm not even sure if "exposure" is necessary or desirable. Personally, i never talk about nudism with the intent of 'recruiting' or even 'educating' textiles. These days, you'd have to be living in a cave not to know about nudism. People who are interested will seek it out on their own. The best thing we can do is treat newcomers with respect and make their first experience a positive one. |
