What initially attracted you to the nudist lifestyle?
For me I loved the idea that shedding your clothes could eliminate social and cultural barriers, while simultaneously preaching body positivity and self acceptance.
The ability to go to the beach and noone judges or stares at my body. I change in public but generally wear shorts while I'm there anyways, but I've had a rather traumatic upbringing and nude beaches have proved rather cathartic as a coping mechanism.
I knew it felt good to be naked in my house, and I had gotten somewhat comfortable being naked with others since my college (1980s) dorms had gang showers.
I've been a nudist for maybe 40 years now. Every day I meet a new friend who is also nude and I was able to get to know them for who they really are, rather than what their clothing might have otherwise conveyed. The phrase "I don't recognize you with your clothes on." is actually a thing.
I just really dislike "things" being on me. Watches, socks, rings, necklaces, and clothes I guess. Visited a nude beach in my early 20s, and decided this was something I really enjoyed.
