At the beginning of last summer we where invited to attend a friends fitness competition with some other of her friends. After the competition we all where out having drinks and something was mentioned about a nude vacation and next thing you know we find out that our friends for many years are also nudist and most of her friends at the bar with us also go to the same beach as us and relax and enjoy each others company on the weekends. So we where told to come down to the area of the beach they all hang out at and we did the following weekend and now we see most of them every weekend it is nice out.
Our lives should not be secret. When talking to whoever, be real
When asled what I like to do, I tell them. On time off I like to go to the beach, hike with nature and enjoy natural hot springs. That the door opener. If they ask where? I tell them. Blacks beach (local) and Gunnison when in the area visiting, deep creek and hike naked. Some looks occasionally but never a bad or nasty comment. Worst maybe was a relative responded to a picture of a hoyts crossing sign that she could not do that. People are more naked than they will allow others to know.
Opposite happened to me.
Someone in one of my community bands wore a Gunnison t-shirt to a rehearsal, so we had a private conversation about it.
He usually goes on weekends with his wife, and I generally go on weekdays to avoid the crowd and my wife never comes, so we haven't seen each other there.
On our 3rd or 4th visit to Cypress Cove I heard a hi Don from behind me and recognized a woman I worked with. I was working in a department store warehouse at the time and she worked in the warehouse office. We only spoke occasionally at work since I was on a delivery truck and left the warehouse once the truck was loaded.
I met several people from Cypress Cove around central Florida . I got a job in my field and traveled around fixing computer systems. I was working on a corporate customers computer system when one of the exec's walked into the building thru the computer room with his new wife. I new her from the Cove. He went on to work, she stopped and talked awhile. She hadn't told her new husband about here nudist life. I didn't see her at the Cove again.
And another time after working on a computer system at the space center I wondered the halls and came upon a name on an office name tag I new. He and another NASA Eng. , also a Cove member, gave me a tour of the place including the old launch control room.
Was always running into nudists around and about. Cypress Cove must have had a thousand members back then.
I went to a nude day during a Nude Art exhibition at my state's art gallery a couple of years ago. To my great surprise (and delight), I bumped into a colleague from my undergrad years at uni. Not only she remembered me, but she also knew my name even though we had fairly limited contact back in the days. She was still as gorgeous as I remember her, if not better! I think she had a partner/boyfriend with her at the exhibition, but I do not think her was overly impressed when we chatted. I just wished that I had got her contact details then as I really liked her personality and casualness with our encounter.
Earlier in my years I might have been a little weary. But I'll second that seeing people you know is only strongly positive.
First, you automatically have a closer bond with someone you know regardless of how you know them, you're both there because you enjoy nude living. Related to that, you now have more people who understand nudism who you can either talk about it with or just live this way without having to explain yourself.
Second, it helps with the spread of nudism. The more the merrier!
I went up into the hills outside of town to hike up to one of our nude spots and I saw a guy there I recognized from the choir at a church service that I go to sometimes. He was tall with a distinctive mane of curly hair, so hard to miss. After a while, I approached him and told him I recognized him. I dont think I said it in any sinister way or anything, but he was really put off that he got recognized from church. I think he wanted to keep the two parts of his life separate.
I felt bad for him.
