Nudism, also known as naturism, involves a lifestyle based on the habit of being naked at home and in public and the ability to get in touch with one's body, respecting oneself and other people in one's community. Contrary to what some people think, it is all about freedom rather than sexuality, and it can be a very liberating and rewarding movement. If you are interested in the nudist movement and want to know how to put your ideas into practice, then keep reading the article from the first step to find out more.
Steps
Part 1 of 4: Understanding Nudism
Step 1. Know that nudism can help bring you closer to nature
There is a reason why some nudists prefer to be called naturists. Nudism is focused on returning to the natural state and on harmony with nature. Being naked on a beach, in the woods or in an environment where nature predominates can encourage you to experience it on a whole new level. One of the greatest and most liberating aspects of nudism is the pleasant sensation of the waves or the sun on the naked body.
Step 2. Know that nudism does not mean giving vent to sexual urges
Of course, it is common for many people to think that something unpleasant can happen when a group of people get together without getting dressed. However, most people who follow the nudist movement do not believe that abandoning the use of clothes is something dictated by the sexual impulse. By doing so, they just feel that they feel freer and return to their natural state, and that's all that matters to them.
- Being naked does not in itself constitute an erotic attitude for those who are nudists. Nudists are used to seeing a naked body without having thoughts of a sexual nature.
- Also, you don't have to think that you need to have a perfect body or look super sexy to be a nudist. Nudists have bodies of all shapes and sizes.
- While you may need to put in a little more effort to convince friends and family that being naked doesn't necessarily mean getting aroused, this is the lifestyle many people choose.
- There are, however, some nudist communities that are a little more sex-oriented. Be sure to research the ones in your area to see which lifestyle suits your needs.
Step 3. Know that nudism can help you feel free
Becoming a nudist can help you go back to your childhood by remembering the person you were before worrying about wearing clothes and running around naked and happy. It's a very liberating feeling. Nudism can help you make contact with that pure and unaware part of yourself and feel happy and free in a friendly environment.
Think about how complicated our life has become. Having to choose clothes, accessories, shoes and so many other items just makes it harder to be yourself naturally
Step 4. Know that most nudists are not naked all the time
You may get the idea that nudists are people who walk around naked in the supermarket, at the cinema, or who show up in an Adamic costume at a family dinner. However, many nudists actually have regular jobs and are dressed when they are normally around people, even though they are always looking for an opportunity to take off their clothes as soon as they feel in a quiet environment.
Making a commitment to be a nudist doesn't mean throwing away all your clothes. It means embracing the opportunity to be naked whenever possible
Part 2 of 4: Practice Nudism at Home
Step 1. If you don't live alone, respect the boundaries of the people you live with
While it may occur to you to jump around in an Adamic costume in front of siblings, parents, roommates and guests, nudism is not considered to be practiced in front of people who feel discomfort. If you live with people who express their agreement that you go around the house naked, for example university friends who share an apartment with you, then you can do it whenever you want. However, if your parents or siblings aren't so happy with this idea, then you can practice it in the comfort of your room or in other parts of the house when you know no one else is home.
Have an honest and frank conversation with the people you live with to gauge their reactions. Of course, it is important to stand by your beliefs, but it is also not appropriate to violate the freedoms of others
Step 2. If you don't live alone, see if other people in the house intend to embrace nudism
If you live with people who may also be interested in the movement, then you can open the conversation by inviting them to join your nudist lifestyle. If they don't know much about it, they might be a little alarmed at first, but they'll feel better once you get to know them about the principles of the movement and what nudism really is about.
If they don't want to join you, there's no point in pushing them to join you. Nudism is something that people should only do if they feel really comfortable
Step 3. Stay out of sight of the neighbors
Out of respect for your neighbors, you should try to keep the curtains or blinds closed if you practice nudism indoors. Going out in the garden or on the terrace naked is almost certainly to be excluded, unless you live in an isolated villa or in the open countryside. You may think it is a brake on the pleasure of being nudist, but in doing so you will practice your principles in a respectful way.
You should also keep a bathrobe handy in case the doorbell rings suddenly. It is not recommended to give the wrong impression to the postman or a neighbor
Step 4. Do everything normally, but naked
Now, the fun can begin! Once you know that you are alone or that someone else in the house has no difficulty in accepting the fact that you can walk around undressed, and once you are out of sight of the neighbors, you can go about your daily life in an Adamic costume. You can have breakfast, watch television, study, phone friends, play with the cat, dance, or just do anything else without clothes on. This is the fun of nudism: doing what you normally do while feeling free!
Of course, you should still take a shower, wash your hands and observe personal hygiene, whether you are naked or not. It's important to stay clean and fresh - with or without clothes
Step 5. Sleep naked
One of the greatest joys of being a nudist is sleeping naked, feeling the cool sensation of the sheets and mattress on your body when you fall asleep. Heck! How many people who do not practice nudism like to sleep without clothes? If you are a nudist, then this is the perfect time to express yourself - especially if you sleep alone or don't share a room. Keep your house cool or open a window, depending on the season, and enjoy feeling free as soon as you lie down.
If you share a room with a university friend and you don't want to scare anyone when you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you should hang a bathrobe on the door so you can grab it quickly if necessary
Step 6. If you practice nudism indoors, consider moving to a quieter place
If you have tried to be a nudist at home but have felt too limited due to other people living with you, the judgment of neighbors or a general lack of freedom, then it may be better to move to a more secluded area, where you have less likely people to take it badly or where you can live with people who share the same opinions as you.
Of course, if you are too young to live on your own, you will probably have to wait until you feel responsible enough to go out alone or just move in
Part 3 of 4: Practicing Nudism as a Family
Step 1. Learn about the debate surrounding the practice of nudism in the family
It is advisable to practice nudism in the family on the basis of a conscious and unanimous decision by the spouses and children, so as to feel free and at peace by showing their body. This is an important choice, but before embarking on this journey you should be aware that there are contrary opinions that it is considered immoral to raise children according to the principles of nudism - some even go so far as to suspect that sexual abuse occurs. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what's right for your family, making sure your kids don't do anything that makes them feel uncomfortable.
Step 2. Start encouraging nudity
If you want the whole family to practice nudism, especially if you have small children, then you need to play your cards right. You can't just put on ten layers of clothes and all of a sudden ask everyone to undress. Instead, try encouraging your family to wear fewer clothes and even be more naked, so that everyone feels comfortable showing themselves naked before making the final leap.
- If your kids bathe naked, don't make it a big event.
- You can also encourage them to spend more time without clothes if they feel comfortable doing so.
- Of course, once you start doing all of this, it needs to be made clear that this is an evolution that is about the family, but not about the outside world. Make your children see that being naked in the house is acceptable, even if it may not be for everyone in general.
Step 3. Make your family feel comfortable
If you want your family to practice nudism, then you need to be able to make each member feel confident in their personality and how they look. Make everyone feel beautiful, don't laugh at their body and be generous in compliments, to make every member of your family feel wonderful both inside and out. Even if nudism isn't all about sexuality and it's not about telling your husband how beautiful he is without clothes, you should encourage them to be who they are without apology.
By having a positive attitude in the family environment, you can do a lot to encourage everyone to be naked. While constructive criticism is a good thing, you should focus on being more positive than negative and encouraging your family members to grow spiritually and creatively
Step 4. Make nudism feel natural
Another important thing is to make nudism feel like a normal thing when you are indoors. If people aren't wearing clothes, don't comment and say how good it feels to get rid of clothes, but treat this practice as a fact. This way you will avoid embarrassment in the family and make nudism feel like the most "normal" thing you can do.
If you sit naked at the table, behave normally instead of saying how good it is to be all naked together. If something is natural, then there is no need to call attention to it
Step 5. Highlight the practical aspects of nudism
You can show your family that nudism is not only natural, but also comfortable. You don't have to worry about what to wear around the house. You don't have to spend money on clothes, you just have to think about what to wear to go out. If it's a hot day, there is no need to set the air conditioning to low temperatures, as you will be less hot when undressed.
Step 6. Practice it while you are with your family
Strength in numbers can help you practice nudism as a family without worries or problems. If everyone feels comfortable and has no difficulty, you can strengthen your bond with a love of freedom coupled with being naked. Of course, it is also wise for your children to have the freedom to express their disapproval or their willingness not to adhere to this lifestyle; you should respect the needs and beliefs they have and avoid imposing your principles on them.
Part 4 of 4: Practicing Nudism Outside the Home
Step 1. Join a nudist community
If you are truly interested in becoming a nudist, then you can also join a community of people interested in protecting their right to undress and practice nudism safely. You can register with FENAIT (Italian Naturist Federation) or A. N. ITA. (Italian Naturist Association), for example. These organizations will point you to centers, private residences, beaches or other places where you can practice nudism in complete safety.
- By joining a community, you will also feel less isolated about your beliefs and you will be able to meet more like-minded people.
- While most nudists are focused on freedom and communion with nature, you may find some communities that encourage nudism for sexual reasons. If it's not your thing, be very careful with your research.
Step 2. Find a nude beach or resort
It is not necessary to be a registered member of a nudist community to find a beach or resort dedicated to those who practice nudism. If you find a place that fits your philosophy of accepting others and respecting your individuality, then try to find somewhere to practice nudism and meet people who are more like you.
If you practice nudism with your family, make sure that people of all ages are welcome on the beach or at the nudist resort
Step 3. Take a nudist vacation
In recent years, "being naked" is more popular than ever. Not all people necessarily feel comfortable being naked where they live, even if they cultivate the idea of going to a new country or city to practice nudism. You can expand your comfort zone by finding locations that are "nudist only" and spend a week benefiting from the nudist lifestyle.
- You can visit regular vacation websites and search for "nudist spa" to find a resort that is perfect for your needs, or use specialized websites that can help you find the right nudist destination..
- Some people object to practicing nudism in public in places near their home, because they are afraid of running into someone they know. If you are hundreds of miles from home, this worry will not be there at all!
Step 4. Find opportunities to be naked in the fresh air
As long as you make sure you don't hurt anyone's sensibilities, whether it's an unsuspecting hiker or a neighbor, if you can find quiet, secluded places to be naked in public it's always better: locate a secluded lake for naked bathing., go camping in a distant place and practice nudism (if allowed) or practice nudism in an isolated farmhouse or in another secluded place.
Just make sure that you do not infringe the legal regulations in force in the various countries. While being naked in public places such as beaches is roughly tolerated in most places in the world, practicing nudism is illegal in states like Arkansas or Iran
Advice
- Go very slowly, it is not good to put yourself in awkward positions.
- At some point, for the simple fact that you get used to being between naked people you will no longer have erections in public.
Warnings
- Don't impose nudism on those who don't understand or don't have an open mind.
- Keep nudity separate from sexual urge by decreasing the frequency of sexual intercourse.
