Words And Pictures
Put up a picture or two and some words about the picture, and comment on other people's posts - as is commonly done on other social media sites, but oddly absent from TN's culture. Start a discussion topic with a post including a picture, a meaningful title, and some words about the picture - what's happening, where you are, how you're feeling, how you took the photo, whatever....

Nudist convert
Return to DiscussionsOver the years I've had the chance to expose (pun intended) many people to the naturist lifestyle. The attached picture is of one young lady who became very enamored of being naked on our property. We have a series of 3 ponds that each overflow into the next. The picture shows the first pond that is rather small but the perfect place to skinny dip.
Great you've got the space to do that - give someone a real experience of the lifestyle with access to the outdoors. When we host farm volunteers, a small fraction of them do experiment. One fellow did more than experiment - as soon as he saw me come in undressed from the shower the first time, he was naked at every opportunity, and even inducted the next volunteer, telling her "clothing is on an as-needed basis around here." Another fellow was deeply conflicted, and really tortured himself over why he wasn't comfortable with it, but later ended up going to a naturist BnB on the island.
Natural ponds, or something you created?
There was a natural depression where the ponds are now, we just enhanced and sculpted it. It's a great place for the wildlife (and wild people) to congregate. I've had about 5 or 6 of the gardening interns become nudists while they were here and the interesting thing is that they were all young females.
When I have a new gardening intern I always show them the hot tub and outdoor shower and tell them that we are very casual about nudity and that we don't allow bathing suits in our hot tub. About 10% of them say that there is no way they will go naked or even see us naked. About 70% say they will not go naked, but don't care of we do. And the rest want to at least try it out. For the ones that enjoy being nude I ask if they would mind taking pictures of them. Most of them are fine with it, and if they say no I don't bring it up again.
