Last year, part of the reason my relationship fell apart was the fact that my boyfriend was completely freaked out by my nudist tendencies and being honest, I wasn’t sensitive enough to that. I recently chatted to another nudie on a nudist site who has since sent a message saying his partner is totally freaked out and has insisted that he cut ties with nudist friends and stop going to nude beaches etc. He is hopeful that his boyfriend will come around. After the tension that my nude habits created last year, I now make sure to include the fact that I go to nude beaches on any online profiles that I have so that it’s out there and people know what to expect.
It’s no secret that this blog is an advocate for social nudity and for that reason I assume that lots of my readers are nudists. So, I want to hear from you guys that are lucky enough to have a partner about how you make it work if only one of you is into social nudity. Does he just put up with it but isn’t really a fan? Does he think it’s amusing and completely fine but just isn’t into it himself? Or does he come along to nude beaches and dabbles from time to time but isn’t as into it as you are? Please, let me know.
Is hanging around the rocks at La Pa social nudity or cruising ? That might freak dudes out a bit. The nude beaches in Sydney are full on beats…. most guys know this. I might also suggest that a lot of natursits aren’t that body beautiful and it can be a bit confronting with all that sagging flesh and leering eyes when they lay thy’re towel 2 feet in front to of you – just saying
I love going to nude beaches. It just feels very right and I enjoy the sense of freedom it imparts. I also enjoy viewing others at the beach. I wouldn’t consider myself a nudist though. I don’t really like hanging around the house nude. It gets cold in NY and frankly I like to maintain a bit of mystery with my husband, so that when our clothing does come off, it’s still arousing between us. We’ve been together twenty two years and if we were nude for all of that time, it would be hard to maintain any sexual surprise and yes, we still do.
Communication is essential in a relationship. I agree with being upfront about Nudism in your profiles Brenton. Honesty about it and what it means to me is important. Nudity is not inherently sexual. To me it is relaxing and freeing. Of course it can turn into sex but that is a separate topic.
While I am not in a relationship now, I would definitely want someone to be ok with nudity. They do not need to participate socially as I do but comfortable would be required. I would not want someone limiting who I am because they are uncomfortable or not trusting.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication regarding this blog!
I’m the nudie in my relationship, partner not that into it, so I limit my beach visits to ‘my time’. Luckily round the house nudity isn’t an issue.
Fortunately my partner is comfortable with the social nudity issue. We can do occasional nudist events he & I are both fine with that. I guess I am just lucky.
I met my partner naked at the beach, so nudity is not an issue.
My partner gives me “off leash” time, as it were, to go skinny dipping. He is not much into social nudity, but understands that I am. He trusts me.
You find a new one that like nudism like I did with my future husband. And he support and encourage me for my blog for LGBT things and naked men pictures… We are opposite in other bussiness like political believes, but we are the same for going nudist on the beach, etc. You will find out soon. Don’t lose hope.
My late partner of 27 years was fine with nudity and we attended GNI gatherings together. After his sudden passing in 2007 I was lucky to meet someone new in 2009. He was/is not into public nudity, however, he was supportive as soon as I told him of my love of being naked. When camping he will strip off at the pool but has yet to just hang out around camp as I do. He knows I camp naked and go to nude beaches. I agree, bring up nudism early. Randy
Im unfortunately too uptight to be a nudist although Id love to be and if my partner were Id find that pretty hot actually…I dont understand why your ex would have an issue with it. Maybe he is the one with the issue not yourself?
While a bit shy himself, my hubby is totally into my being nude when I can be. He just doesn’t do it himself except for special occasions. We’ve attended nude beaches and other social gatherings together.
We’ve talked about my feeling free to be nude – almost anywhere, any time and any where, and our proclivities seem to lie in psyches formed as youths. His mum yelled at him at age 3 when he took off his costume at a beach. My own mum was accepting of my casual nudity.
I met my partner at a nude beach many years ago. While he is quite comfortable being nude at the beach or round the pool at home among friends he does not embrace nudism as fully as I do. I enjoy social nudity and have attended a number of nudist gatherings in California and also at Turtle Cove. He puts up with my quirks but I’m sure he feels I’m a bit “weird” with social side of nudity.
Going to GNI gathering in Pennsylvania is on my bucket list of nude things to do as well as going to Cap d’Agde. I’m sure I’ll be doing these on my own!
When I lived in warmer climes I was a very avid nudist. Started to date a Latin guy who totally flipped his shit when he realized how casual I was about nudity. I put an end to that relationship immediately as I knew his insecurities and jealousy just could not cope. Unfortunately, some people are just scarred by shame of their bodies due to religious/cultural indoctrination and they are unwilling to see or try anything outside their comfort zone. Definitely their loss in my opinion. Therefore, why waste a moment of your life being berated for living textile free? Tell those guys that can’t handle it to pack their bags and hit the road!
