A shy nudist
Return to DiscussionsIm so pleased to be a member of this group. Its always a pleasure to connect, share ideas, and learn from one another. Im mostly an indoor nudist, I only practice nudism at home as Im a shy nudist. I live alone so I have all the time to go nude when ever I want.
Have you always exhibited shy traits or is that something you gained once you began to become a woman, at puberty?
Many kids are naturally nudists but some get to that stage of physical and mental change and start to worry about their outward appearance more. It always makes me happy to see the kids of nudist parents fight that tendency and get through it with their more positive body image intact.
Changing shyness over time is an interesting question!
I was never one of those kids that was permitted to bathe nude at the beach on the basis that one could if one was young enough. Bathers all the way for me! But even then I was a little shy in my Speedos. It didn't change throughout school and only my first girlfriend's insistence that a proper swim brief was necessary got me to the point where I was happy for people to see me in as little as that and even discern the profile beneath. My suits progressively got smaller after that until they disappeared altogether when the situation permitted.

Received wisdom is that all children would remain nudists if not browbeaten out of it by their parents and prudish society in general.

Ah the perennial question - is nudism conditioned out of us by society or do we have an innate element that makes us cover up....many studies reveal it's the latter and it's deeply linked to the gestation period and the need for two humans to raise a child. Our innate desire to cover up effectively lowers our risk of straying once we've conceived a child! That's also putting aside our learned behaviour that clothes protect us....
I love being a nudie but also great to be educated and know what drives us!
