I work as a carpenter so I come home sweaty and take a shower first thing. I live alone and had slept naked since high school because its more comfortable so after some thought I couldnt come up with a good reason to wear clothes after my shower. After I was completely comfortable with doing things naked to the point that I forgot I was even naked, I started to not want to leave the house because I just didnt want to get dressed. Even before I knew that social non sexual nudity was a thing I always had an interest in being naked for some reason. I was not abused as a child in any way, if anything I was raised to never be naked with other people and I rarely if ever saw either of my parents naked. If anything I think I was always looking for acceptance because arent we ALL a little insecure when we are growing up? In my own personal life experience it seems like social nudity would be positive for everyone, it should be encouraged and it should be normalized.
1. I have major issues with clothes causing excessive heat. When I go 2 bed, nude obviously, it takes less than 1 minute before I throw the covers off from getting to hot. I can't even have a sheet on me, and the older I get the worse it gets. Crazy thing is I get in my hot tub everyday, but put on light weight shorts and I'm ripping them a minute later.
2. For the comfort. I can still remember being 12 and sneaking out at night into the brisk damp air and walking through the neighborhood, love the feeling of the cool air flowing all over my body. Now 56 years later I only wear anything if I go somewhere that requires clothing. I blew my 200' driveway today nude while it was only 56f and it felt fabulous. Thank God my textile wife understands and supports my 24/7 nudity.

Luckily you live in a state that is relatively tolerant of nudity!
After trying to stay hidden for a while I just told them I was a nudist and asked if I should try to build a fence tall enough to block the view. They said it wouldn't bother them so do as you like. We live on the side of a mountain so hard to hide. I have had many chats with them at the 4ft chainlink fence and out on our driveway that we share( they live below us). The others wave when they see me out.

I had a similar situation.
One neighbor can see over my privacy fence into our pool area when he was on the deck.
When a new neighbor moved in, I put a wind screen on top of the fence to block the view.
At the end of the summer it was in poor condition so I took it down.
The neighbor saw me and asked me why I had it in the first place,
I told him I preferred to swim and sun nude and I knew that he could see over the fence from his deck.
He said that it wouldn't bother him if he happened to see me nude.
I haven't replaced the fence in any of the subsequent summers.
Thanks for sharing. As far as I can remember I have always hated wearing clothes. As far as I can remember I never understood the purpose of a bra or why women didnt have the same no shirt freedom as men. I grew up with this weird nuance from my parents that you should always be clothed around people especially my parents but that it was also ok to be naked just as long as no one saw you. It was really my bending and confusing. After I went college I experimented with sleeping naked and loved it. Then I would hang out in my room after class nude while doing home work and studying. If my roommates were out I would walk around nude. Then I stopped after I got married because of the struggle I grew up with. Having kids taught me that being naked is freeing and liberating. I now go nude mos rod the time I am home.
I feel at peace if I am content with my body as an active being of God. I do keep my distance, so I am not an exhibitionist and don't want to put anything salacious in someone else's mind especially women and some who seem to invade male spaces more and more. Sometimes it's good to be with other guys or even just left alone. So a club that does background checks is preferred over a random beach. Gay men on the beach are the worse. If I am resting, I have to cover up and want to be left alone!
Nudism during the social distancing pandemic was the best.
Part of this sentiment is from a large nudist club where I asked what kind of social groups there were as I wanted to meet others. I was told "most people here are very private and like to be left alone". Once I saw how much there was to see in nature, I totally got it, people had their own groups around the lake, were polite and friendly without being invasive -- everyone respected other's spaces. It changed me.
I'm a nudist, not a naturist. Sorry, to me, doing everything naked, especially "hanging out" is a bit pretentious.
I also draw the line with the doctor -- I prefer a male doctor and the urologist must be male. Had a bad experience with a female doctor and can tell you she and several others don't keep the Hippocratic Oath. Really don't want someone of the opposite sex getting into my business.
In most cases a male certified massage therapist too -- sometimes if they ask, I will say "whoever is strongest". Men need to stop being such homophobes and ask for a male therapist who can dig their hands into your back without the chitchat -- it's disrespectful to their wives and girlfriends to say they only want a(nother) woman to touch them. Though there is a 'masculine' woman I go to that does a good job that works on my back -- if it were my thighs and glutes, I would say 'no'.
If I were a female nudist, I definitely would want a female gynecologist. I think it was a bumper sticker: "I only said I was a nudist. I didn't agree to have a male gynecologist."
