Have you ever looked at those people totally nude on French beaches, or at naturist holiday resorts, with a longing to have the confidence to be naked amongst dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of fellow naked people? Or do you feel that you do have the confidence, but don't know how to practice your naturism? This guide will show you how to do both.
Steps
- Realise that there is nothing necessarily sexual about nudity. We are born naked, our natural state is naked and, though people have sex naked, erotic clothing can be more sexually suggestive sometimes than simple nudity. If you still have doubts, think, "When I'm nude in the shower, is that sexual?". The answer is, of course, "No". Nudity can, however, be sensual: the feeling of air or water flowing unobstructed over every inch of your skin awakens the senses and can provide an intense experience sometimes similar to sexual feelings. This is healthy. Also, though nudity is not necessarily sexual, you shouldn't feel ashamed to have or explore sexual feelings then either, since that's perfectly natural sometimes too, and suppressing those thoughts and feelings can negate the benefits of healthy naturism.
- Sleep naked. Not topless, not in underwear: totally naked. This has been shown to aid relaxation therefore giving you a better night's sleep, and makes you cooler in summer (and it's not as cold as you might think in winter), because your body can distribute heat better. If the night is warm enough, sleep naked without any blankets or covering whatsoever; just expose your body to the air and see how much better you will feel. Sleeping naked will help you feel better about nudity.If Your uncomfortable sleeping naked work your way up to it! Take of one piece of clothing every time you get used to sleeping without the last.
- Don't put clothes on after a bath or shower: stay naked.
- Spend as much time as you can around the house naked, whether you are eating, cleaning, watching TV, sunning in your backyard, or just relaxing. You will be surprised at how much more comfortable you will feel without clothes.
- Search online for your nearest naturist club or beach, and try visiting when you feel confident enough. Don't worry that your body is "inadequate". Once you attend for the first time, you'll find that most people there have something "wrong" with their bodies, be it being overweight, a small penis, sagging breasts, small breasts, a pot-belly and much more. Everybody is different and nobody cares anyway.
- Take a naturist holiday. France is excellent for these. If that's too far, closer to home you can likely find a clothing-optional resort, or natural mountain hot springs for nude soaking, or skinny-dipping spots.
- Continue to be naked whenever you can! Check out your local laws regarding being topfree at a park, beach, or swimming pool, or participate in one of the fun naked bike rides which are held all over the world.
Tips
- You may find this easier (and more fun) if you do it with a partner or a friend.
- If you do exercise at home, conduct it naked.
- Be sure to use ample sunblock outdoors.
Warnings
- In many places, public nudity (in a non-naturist area) is legal (e.g., in Britain, public nudity is not illegal). In some countries however, nudity is never illegal. In the U.S., local laws vary: many localities are taking a healthier attitude toward simple public nudity, and making it perfectly legal as long as there is no intent to alarm. Google for a local naturist organization and inquire with them about what you can do legally in public.
- Cooking naked is not recommended as it will be more difficult to avoid being burned, treat burns, and explain burns to others.
