do you regret waiting so long to become a nudist, no so much a home nudist but going to a nude beach or nudist resort. |

As a teenager I enjoyed being naked and when alone I practiced. I came from a large family and although my parents were open minded, nudity around the house was not acceptable. When I got my own apartment, I was always naked. As newlyweds,my wife and I were not ready to be naked publicly until a trip to Punta Cana. I asked her to go topless as many other women were. I developed enough confidence to wear a Speedo. On a long walk we discussed going to a nude beach as we were barely wearing anything but a bikini bottom. That summer we went to St. Martin, and we go nude from now on. We had both turned 40. That was 16 years ago. I think we were just like most young adults, too inhibited to be naked in public.r |

Your story sounds a lot like mine, Chris. My parents were up tight clothes compulsive prudes. We were taught that being seen naked would be a fate worse than death. But I still managed to go out naked at night and run through the neighborhood, or go naked out in the woods.
I first learned that nudism was a thing at age 18 when I saw some nudist magazines in a cabin where I stayed for a few weeks. H&E and some others. WOW. All the naked girls and women in those years, and some men too. I had never even seen a naked girl or woman until then.
That was back before the internet. I knew Nudism was a thing, but I had no idea how to find them. I looked for ads but didn't see any. It was more than 20 yeas later that I met some nudist members at a hot spring and got involved in AANR. Now all you have to do is google anything like naked and you get lists of contacts and info. Times have changed a lot.
I'm now pretty much an independent nudist. I tend not to frequent clubs but rather go naked at home and anywhere else I can do so without being arrested. Life is short. Carpe Diem!

The only information I ever saw, before the internet, was in naturist magazines and I never knew that there were 4 nudist clubs and 2 nude beaches all with the furthest club about two hours from where we were living. The closest was about a 15 mins away and the beaches were an hour and 10 mins and an hour and a half away!
You can imagine, for me, once I realized this, I was bugging the Prof to take our home nudism social but she wasn't ready for that at the time. As soon as I found that we could join an organization and get our own copies of monthly magazines and newsletters, I was on that like triple quick. I kinda knew that we were getting close to going social when I came home from work and went looking for my newest copies of N magazine, Internaturally and the AANR Bulletin. When I asked the Prof, she replied, "on my nightstand."
Even until the Terra Cotta Inn closed, Day Use fees were close to the same as they were when we started visiting 17 years prior. $25 a couple some 18 years ago and only $35 a couple the very last time we visited for the day. Our club's day use fees are also quite reasonable for members ... $24.50 a couple and if I visit alone, $12.50. Glad I don't have to visit alone anymore, since the Prof retired. That extra quarter was killin' me!
Another resort in PS, which will remain unnamed, went up drastically and the rules changed to a point where a day visit was going to cost us well over $100. Both of us working and making a good living, that was still doable but the fact that day use visits went from $35 a day for a couple to $75 for day us and they wouldn't let you bring in your own cooler anymore so that meant eating and drinking from their restaurant/bar. Aside from that, there were many other reasons we stopped visiting this resort but for those that really enjoyed the day there, it became too expensive to visit often and many people stopped going for a while.
All things cost more these days and we can't live in the "good ol' days" forever. We prioritize what's important to us and if visiting a resort that costs a bit more than we adjust and visit when we want. One example of this is a upcoming trip with textile friends to Spring Training in AZ. Our plan was to take a 2 week long RV trip together, they in their 5th wheel and us in our motorhome. We would visit NM and then onto AZ for Spring Training. The calendar wasn't cooperating as much as we'd have liked and we had a choice ... drive from home through AZ to NM and meet up with them in southern NM or ... drive to AZ, stay at Mira Vista in Marana and meet them in Phoenix on the last leg of their trip. We love this couple to death but ... our priority is to go and spend some time alone and be naked ... so Mira Vista was a higher priority and the 2 week trip ended up being a 1 week trip with these friends and several days alone and naked. That first week will get us through a week of wearing clothes!

i remember back in the 80's before the internet became popular you would send away in the mail for information on nudism and even then the first nudist camp i visited was the only one in the state. now there are about ten. i also remember it only cost a few $ now it has become somewhat expensive at some even for a day visit. |

No regrets about being a nudist just wish I could be nude more often but work, the weather and society are not as welcoming.
Waited till my kids have grown and gone away to university to be nude more at home. My wife was not happy when I did this years ago at home so I stopped.
Only regret is that my wife is not that keen generally at home or going to the beach.
With summer here now I am naked at home most nights when I get home from work and I find it relaxing and liberating. |

Perhaps it's better to concentrate more on being thankful for having been participating nudists for as long as we have. Circumstances could have been different enough where we never would have tried out a nudist resort of beach. I've been one, formally, for 8 years. I missed out on a lot of years being so, but I have those 8 years that I have enjoyed for the most part. I could have still been too cowardly to not give it a try.

Sure ... Our regrets are that we wish we had began our social nudist life sooner but we've got over 20 years of social nudism under our bellies!
Our biggest regret and ... actually our daughter's as well, is that we didn't take them to a club and introduce them to other nudist kids. We've talked about this quite often and they wished we had forced them to continue with nudism but ... we knew that was not the right thing to do.

There are a few things I regret. I regret I never took advantage of going to Haulover Beach when I lived in South Florida. I regret I haven't taken more nakations. But I've been going naked for a long time, and still have time to do those things, so I'm good. |

I regret being scared to go to a resort alone. but my now wife and I love going to resorts. now the hardest part besides finding time to go when its warm. is putting our clothes on to leave.

I know the feeling, Bob. There was a nudist resort not that far from me, but I was too young to go there alone. At least we both later on become official, formal nudists

when we moved to south florida we ended up next to a rock quarry which at age 11 i found to be a great place to explore especially on weekends and get nude but somewhere i had heard they had a nudist colony out west of town i knew at 11 i would never get to go but wish at 18 i would have checked into it. |

I wish I would have tried social nudism a lot earlier, but I did start private nudism at around 8 or 9 years old on my own in the Sierra Nevada when my family went camping there. They were the last people to be nudists, but I disappeared for a few minutes to play in a creek. It suddenly occurred to me to go nude. Not sure why. It was sunny and warm, so perhaps I thought it would be nice to do. I was only this way for a while, and then put on my clothes on walked back around a bend in the creek to where my parents were. Kept doing that a lot as years went by, and then on my own when I started to hike nude in the Sierra.
