Do any of you come from anti nudism families?
My family was strictly clothed everywhere, except the shower. We were literally taught that nudism was wrong. But now that I want to experiment, they have absolutely, 100% refused. Can anyone give some advice or share some stories on this matter? Thanks.
Nude and barefoot forever!
And Ever!

I know my family are anti nudist even if I have never put the subject forward. For them not to allow me (I'm 20 years old) go around in only my underwear I can only imagine what they'd say if I turned up naked.
Still sleep nude though

Prism, It's your parent's home. Until you live under your own roof, I would think that outside of your room, you should obey their rules. Underwear is not appropriate, less so than being nude IMHO.

Cheri, I can't even stay in my underwear/nude in MY BLOODY ROOM! As I wrote in my bio that privacy is non existant in my house. At least I can still sleep nude (for now, they don't know that bit either)

Prism,
I agree with cheri, It's your parrents home so it's their rules. Belive it or not they are doing what they think is right. They do have your best interest a heart, just remember that.

I know Diger don't worry but that doesn't change the fact that it just stinks
The worst part of it is that I don't even have a full-time job yet so I really can't move out just yet. (even if I DID have the resources I'd need some cooking lessons unless I want to eat noodles and pre-cooked stuff for a looong time

Patience. Eventually you will have your own dwelling; however that is probably years down the road. I agree that when you live with your parents, you must abide by their rules.
I grew up in a household that was always clothed, except when taking a shower. I took up nudism years after I was on my own.
Naturally, Catbird

This summer I'm going to try to have a little skinny dip and maybe I can convince my gf how great it feels and all.
It isn't going to be easy because it's hard to find a deserted beach here on this little island but maybe later in the afternoon there will be less people around. Heck if need be I'll go alone but I don't want my gf to be suspicious or anything.

Alot of people say that their family was completely against naturism, but don't thin that is always the case. With 99% of the people i speak to, their parents were not against it they just never had to deal with it.
They were raised to beleive that people should always wear clothes so they taught the same to their children they were not anti-nudism, just ignorant of it.
If you know what I mean....
I am sure they would be surprised if you started but they are not opposed to it :)

I am one of seven offspring and the oldest of the seven. My mother wasn't a saint but she was still a bit conservative. She divorced my father when I was a pre-teen and a couple of years later, married my step-father.
My stepfather is a bit more liberal but can be conservative about certain things. I think nudity or casual nudity, as we nudist know it, would be something he would be a little conservative about. Just from comments he's made, I'd say he'd think it was okay for adults to do but "we shouldn't do it in front of the little ones."
My mother has passed and he's remarried a women that seems a bit more liberal and is changing his ideas but not sure what they are exactly...nowadays.
My brother's and sister's are all over the place. I am the only full fledged, practicing, card carrying nudist in the family....I think! The brother next in line has some tendancies and was showing us some pictures of he and his ex-wife on vacation and forgot to take some out. There were a few pictures of her nude in the hotel room and out in the woods. We never pursued the nudism question with them
The next brother is far too conservative as is the sister, next in line. My youngest sister did lots of traveling while in college and after finishing college. She told us that she and her room mates vacationed in Europe and went to topless beaches. She thought it was great and didn't know why is was such taboo here in the US.
The two younger brothers (twins) are also too conservative and wouldn't think about doing this, although I really don't know for sure about any of my siblings.
Even if they wanted to tell us, they would hesitate or decide not to because they all think my wife...The Prof, is so conservative and would think that it was disgusting or immoral and I think they are actually afraid to say anything about it or even talk about it...................if they only knew!
I was already out of the house, in the Navy and married when I was barefoot n nude's age. When I was younger, I had my own room, was able to be nude and not be bothered while in my room, slept nude and spent as much time as I could nude around the house when they were all gone, which wasn't very often.
My only advice..........be patient and take advantage of nude time when you can...when they are not around. Work hard to get your own place and then you'll be able to be nude when you'd like. Until then...you should respect their wishes for you to remain clothed, if that's what they desire. If the opportunity for discussion is still open...I'd take advantage of just talking with them together or one at a time. You may find that you have some allies in the family that may simpathize. It may not help your situation but at least you'll know you're not alone.

Fire,
Maybe you should try a page from your brother’s playbook and leave a few of your nudes in your vacation photos, when you are showing them to your siblings. Just maybe leaving the nudes in wasn’t a mistake, he could have wanted you to find them. It would definitely be a door opener.

Dig,
I would have thought this to also be true but his wife is the one that snatched them out of our hands, looked through them, took out the nudes and then handed them back to us. She was pretty embarrassed and that's one reason we didn't pursue conversation in that direction.
The other reason was because, at the time, we were nothing more than home nudists and my wife was not about to let anyone know that we lived that way.
As time has passed, the Prof has become increasingly proud and unembarrassed by our nudist lifestyle and is at a point where she is willing to talk about it with others but...only if the topic arises. She's still not there, where I am, to open the conversation on nudism. She tells our grown daughter's that she and I wish we had pressured just a little to get them back into nudism so we could all have gotten through that awkward stage, when they were teens, and could now be enjoying lots of great trips and nudist venues together.

Fire,
Isn't it funny how we can look back and see the oportunities we have missed to share with others. If we had known then what we know now. LOL .... We have a couple of those stories.

This discussion reminds me of a case here in California where two brothers ran into each other at a nudist club and neither knew that the other was a nudist! (A little lack of communication there).

I guess this all goes to show you never know for sure how a friend or family member will react. They may be keeping the same thing a secret themselves. :)
