I have alot of respect for your son. He is very brave. I was his age when i first started to become a naturist, but i would never have the courage to tell my parents, I kept it to myself and they still don't know!
I would suggest you allow him to be naked in his room or maybe even join a local club so he could socialise with others his age, but it sounds like the rest of your family also share his veiw so i think you should all go naked around the house to support him, sleep in the nude and maybe consider a nude family holiday.
I would have loved to do that with my parents when i was his age!

If you are interested in trying out nudism yourself, then do it when you feel comfortable. Just wake up one morning and after your shower don't get dressed and walk around for a bit. It won't be long before you forget the feeling of nudity and it'll feel comfortable. When sleeping in the nude, just ignore the fact you are nude if you can and you'll have no problems.
I'm not sure making a decision to get nude with the rest of your family waiting on you is the best route. Everyone has to be comfortable, and if your son sees you nude then it might go some way to showing him that you approve his choice of lifestyle.

Balto Bob is correct when he says there are topics and threads that can answer most of your questions. When I found this forum some time ago, I read almost every one of them from the beginning. I realized that I was no different than anyone here, and progressed from closet nudist, to home nudist, to taking the step to social nudity. I only wish I would have done it sooner! Read up and ask any questions you may have- someone here will be able to help you!
I'm sure I think I said what I probably meant, but maybe not.

I think it also speaks to the job bigwhite has done as a parent. They clearly have done something right. I would go the "clothing optional" route. Everyone can wear or NOT wear whatever they want.

Have a nice NUDE day !!

That's simply not being used to it. I think I first slept nude when I was about 13. I was pretty conscious of it. I don't sleep well, anyway, but I think that night I was thinking, "oh my god, I'm naked!", and didn't get much sleep. I made the decision specifically BECAUSE I used to toss and turn and my PJ's would get tangled. After a few nights, I slept like a baby.

Someone said it was brave of your son for wanting to try nudism at his age. Some more than that stuck me, there is a lot to be said for you and your wife for being open minded and giving it a shot too. I think some parents would have discouraged/forbidden the nudism as a perversion.
Kudos to you and your wife.

Good for your son being brave enough to tell you about his interest in being a nudist. As many have said, far better for him to do it at home, at least initially. If you and your wife can support him by following his lead, then it means that he can visit clubs etc (with you) and get more out of naturism by meeting others.
I'm sure it will feel a bit strange at first, but you do get used to the not-wearing-clothes-at-home thing very quickly.
Good luck to you all!
Jon.

As for my wife she is pretty open minded about it. Sometimes she reads some of the topics and says nudists are very accepting and nice people.

Keep adding advice, the more the better
When I first started sleeping in the nude I couldnt get used to it and I would have a hard time sleeping. If you try it from either 1 week to a month straight sleeping naked, you will most likely get used to it (everybody is different.) I have started to regularly sleep in the nude in the beginning of the summer and have gotten used to it, but now I can't sleep with my underwear on, thats how I used to sleep and now it is very uncomfortable.

bigwhite-
Your son should understand that nudists DO use the restroom on occasion, just as we do when clothed. The event may or may not have been totally caused by bladder pressure, perhaps a little excitement from finally getting to realize his ambition. It sometimes takes a while for this to pass, as your family becomes accustomed to mixed nudity. Make sure the clothes-free feeling seems normal, natural, and comfortable within your family before considering a beach or resort trip. You've already cleared the biggest hurdles just by getting THIS far, so don't give up, relax, and enjoy yourselves.
Keep us posted!
I'm sure I think I said what I probably meant, but maybe not.

Tell him to splash some cold water on that thing before he puts somebody's eye out!

Teenage males get erections frequently. I would suggest ignoring it and for you to talk to him privately letting him know that if he gets them in a nudist club he should be discrete, rolling over, jumping in the pool or just covering it with his ever present towel to prevent him from becoming the focus of unwanted attention. I am not saying there is anything wrong with it just that the common practice in a nudist setting it to cover it until it goes away.

I grew up in a naturist family and remember the early teen time when erections just happened. Home is a great setting for teenage guys to get through the awkwardness and learn how to react. The first thing is for everyone to keep a sense of humour. Realize you're all going through it and learning about each other together. My dad talked to me openly about erections in front of whomever was around including my 2-yr-younger sister, just as my mom talked to my sister about periods. It was just learning how nature works (including the impact of a full bladder). We also learned kind of standard rituals, like just to sit down for a minute and let the erection pass. My dad's thing, he said, was the old standby of thinking about baseball or some current news item, my thing was to think about a math puzzle. If my sister was around, she'd helpfully say something like "what's 743 divided by 8 times 3?" 
This family atmosphere was of course later replicated when I was the parent. Every naturist family goes through these things and I think it's part of the reason why naturist kids tend to get through teen years with less trauma and knowing better how cope with the world.
