Older Nudists
For the over 50s. We all have wrinkles and battle scars and no longer look the way we used to. But our minds are still young.

The Older I get, the less inhibited about nudity I am
Return to DiscussionsDo others agree. Growing up in a conservative household, nudity was not something we were allowed to do. However, as life experiences happened, I realized that it was a more comfortable way to live and that we are all models of the same vehicle. All bodies should be perceived as beautiful at any age.
My concern with being nude - whether in a locker-room or out in nature - has never had anything at all to do with what people will think of my body. Rather, it has everything to do with the completely irrational response/actions that textiles or homophobic males might take against me for feeling comfortable in my own skin. For example, in the locker-room, I have no doubt that the reason why so many males change in stalls or shower in their underwear is because they think other males in that locker-room are gay and might hit on them. Or that by being nude, they are inviting some fellow gym member who is gay to hit on them.
Out in nature, if I am found nude by some belligerent textile, they could either report me to the corresponding authorities (State Park ranger or sheriff) or even worse, physically attack me. I recall reading somewhere on this website how a fellow naturist hiking out in the woods was chased for a short while by some woman on horseback! As long as belligerent textiles and homophobes prevail, I will be super careful about where I choose to go nude - when not at a nudist resort.

I certainly agree with you. I've been a naturist for over 20 years now. I have gotten very comfortable in my own skin, and I will surely get nude outdoors, at the beach, for example.
But of course, we/I would shed our clothes in a safe environment, somewhere secluded in nature and nobody around. At times, it's great when there are open, like-minded people around us whom I have encountered at the beach from time to time.
I would say I think the same and since retirement I spend more time nude around the house it's relaxing and fun and I gone outside forgetting I was nude once or twice ,also I realized I have a neighbor 2 houses down who likes to tan topless around her pool ,and been wondering if I should tell her I am a nudists
