Have the members of your family given you some flack because you let it be known the you were a nudist(or were thinking of becoming one?)

The only family members that know because we've told them "point blank", we are nudist are our two daughter's and their husbands.
There are plenty of references to our nudist lifestyle around the house. Our den is full of naturist paintings, drawings, a calendar and various "nude beach" signs, etc.
In the family room is where I keep most of my naturist magazines and the AANR Bulletin. I don't make it a habit, anymore, of putting them away when someone comes over to visit.
Just recently visited friends up in Oregon and Washington. There were 5 couples and we spent two days at Collins Beach on Sauvie Island. At the end of the final day, we took a group picture. I printed this picture and put it in a frame in on a shelf in the den. Forgot that the cleaning lady was coming so.........she not only has seen the paintings, drawings and references to naturism but she's now see us completely.
The girls never gave us any grief or flack. The teased for a short while then began asking lots and lots of questions. We are assuming that they have tried it at home but haven't decided to do it with us yet.
I really don't think we'd catch much flack from any of our family or friends. We both seem ready and willing to let anyone of them know, just want the topic to surface and opportunity to tell them rather than just blert it out...."How was your vacation?
"Great!, oh by the way, we're nudists!"

We are very new to the social side of things and haven't told our grown kids yet. Maybe never will but a few days ago I told a close male friend the whole story. He was completely accepting of me and the lifestyly even though he is not a nudist. I think he would love it but his wife would not.

Telling my sister got her converted, visiting our hot tub convinced here, visiting Haulover confirmed it. One of her sons became a nudist before she did because of me. No flack from family currently. However, years ago, my father, although a psychologist, couldn't understand it. His wife at the time thought it was wrong. I ignored any comments. My mom never lived to know about my nudism; she died way too young.

I am just as closed minded on the opposite side of your father and mother about nudity. I do not understand the revulsion others have for social nudity. It is wholesome to me.
I wrote my family and close friends about my nudism and visits to naturist resorts. Even wore a provocative tee-shirt about nudity to work (not to show it off, I forgot I had it on) which elicited at least in one case genuine interest and amusement from the opposite sex.
Best Wishes, Jim

Hello!
My mother got really worried when I apeared on national TV and newspaper during a naturist beach clean-up, but afterwards there were no worries.
Her worries were about my coleagues at work and my job, but there were no problems, I even showed the newspaper to my boss.

My mother came a bit unglued when I first told the family I had tried nudism and thought everyone should do it, it was so freeing.
After a year or so, and after I stopped trying to convert the world into nudists, she accepted the fact I was a nudist. My whole family knows and approves.
Take care and ...
Keep it Bare !!!

We have told our family with no repercussions. Not only was my sister-in-law with me when I first enjoyed the pleasures of “journeying to nudity” but she had indulged several times before, though she would not consider herself a “nudist”. My mother-in-law would be the first one with her clothes off given the chance so it would not shock her. Frankly, my wife was pretty proud of herself after going to a nude beach so she told several friends and considered it a badge of honor. All in all most have taken the news with a Ho Hum so I guess you could say we have chosen wisely those who we shared the news with.

My whole family knows and the only one who seems to have a problem is my 25 year old son. He married a girl who is from a very conservative family so I suspect she has something to do with it. But my other kids my wife my brothers and sisters and there spouses and my mom and dad have never had a problem with it. I honestly feel better since it all came out in the open no need to hide anything from anyone. I don't however feel the need to share all this with those I work with I like to keep that part of my life seperate.

Obviously every single member of my family are nudists. so this issue really doesnt apply to me. What I am curious about though...is all of the people who say their family would not be ok or cool with them being nudists. What do you all mean by that? What would they do? Because it seems to me, that if they would never speak to you again or something equally as outlandish..why would you want to associate yourself with people like that? Family or not.

Jenn, I think most people are not afraid of there family not speeking to them. Just the oposite, Some family members have the Guilt Trip down to an art form. LOL
Lori, am I right?

Maybe that is why the nude movement is not taking off. (No pun intended) It seems a lot of us are not that comfortable with being a nudist. It is nothing to be ashamed of. I let everyone I know I am a nudist and invite everyone I can to join me at my pool or come with me to Cypress Cove. I really believe that being a nudist is a good thing and the world would be a lot better place if more people were nude.

All of my family knows and think its just too wierd but they don't really bring it up or give me grief about it. But some of my closer friends still give me a hard time about it.

Hi Smoothy
What is the reaction of the people you invite to your pool or Cypress Cove? Do any take up the offer and go nude? That is where it really will tell about people's attitudes.

I don't know if it's guilt trip, it just would be too weird with my parents. I just have one sister, and she lives in SD. She is not a nudist, but she has gone with me to Blacks Beach when I have been out there. But my parents - it honestly has never come up, and I just would prefer to keep it that way. The closest it ever came was my Mom stopping by my apt unannouonced one time, my roomate and I were both butt nekkid. Hannah (my roomate) jumped under her covers and pretended to be asleep, I put on a towel and claimed I just got done drying my hair, lol
I know that is the not popular position on here, but I am only 24, and I would rather just keep the peace in my family
