Thoughts on Self Acceptance

-


It is amazingly liberating to be nude I find. I have always felt most myself when I have nothing on my body. It's been this way as long as I can remember. Fortunately I grew up in a home where nudity was not a taboo or any kind of issue. It was natural to my Dad, my Brother, and I. We where nude in the home in the evenings most of the time. We would watch TV together nude and it was normal to us. Yes we all realized that society had a problem with it, but for us it was just another day.

The only time I briefly had issue with how my body looked was when I was about 13 to 15 - then I was back to accepting who I am and how I looked. I've read other nudists stories and it is not uncommon - although not all life long nudists have this phase.

I have known others who where nudists, but in their family it seems, it was not accepted and they had to do it away from the family and sometimes had to hide it. I find this sad as hell. People are not doing any favors to their family members by placing guilt on them for being in a natural state.

In a perfect world, it would be the norm. But there is a lot of control in shame. There is also a lot of money to be made off of shaming people about their body. The corporations out there make billions off of people seeing themselves as not worthy and being ugly. They have exploited this fact since the 1940's at least.

I find it interesting that society had little distain for male nudity if done away from the ladies. But it has, as long as recorded history, told women that their bodies where to be ashamed of. Even when men gathering could be nude together to swim and to work out, it was not at all accepted for women.

Now the powers that be, and that want your money, want all people to be shamed by nudity. I honestly would like to see a revolution of people who refuse to conform to a standard that for the most part is not able to be obtained by most people. We as a species deserve to live being able to see ourselves as worthy and beautiful, no matter our body shape, skin color, or any other distinguishing feature.

Looking back, I wish my Mom did not have such a load of Catholic guilt on her mind to the day she died, that she could not be free and accepting of who she really was. I think that is literally abuse to lay guilt on a person for having a body. We all have them, it's normal, and to be shameful of it - is totally ridiculous.

In any event, be free and don't have guilt and self loathing for who you really are. Accept yourself for all you are.

A Long Talk About My History As A Nudist

I find it most comfortable when I have nothin on but my headphones. I've been a nudist the vast majority of my life. Even as a young kid, my Father, my Brother and I would end up watching TV in the evening with not a single piece of clothing on us. Mother was not quite into it. She had this Catholic guilt thing going on, as she was raised Catholic. Although she converted to the United Church when she married my Father, she never lost that sense of self shame. I always found that to be sad, and wished show could have moved past that repressive viewpoint driven into her as a child, and life a lot more freely. But she never did. It was different in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's I think. People where a hell of a lot more repressed when it came to nudity, and even in their homes, it was not something they tended to do. Not one of my friends at the time (as a kid or teen) where into the nudist lifestyle and only a couple of them even knew most of my family where nudists. I fi...

A Few Thoughts About Nudity in Public

Me at the computer. I had the web came taking photos at 30 second intervals. I was doing some fractal art with Mandelbulb 3D and then I got a text, and the text was a scam, "you need to act in the next 60 minutes, withdraw your $3000 or play it." Right, if you click the link you are only asking for trouble. But anyway, just wanted to pop into the blog and say, "every activity is better if you are nude." That being said, it's a bit of a bother being a nudist in an apartment on only the 2nd floor. You can see in my window from the parking lot if you look up. There is not one possibility of them seeing the man bits, but you can see from about my nipples up. I found it interesting that the rental agreement stated no answering the door nude, and to always dress "modestly" in common arias. I tend to have clothing on if I am expecting a delivery or maintenance coming in. I've had to toss on some close quick more than a few times when they wanted to check ...

Accept Who You Are and How You Are

Got to love your body, no matter what the hell others may think. Feeling shame for your side, shape, deformities, or anything is totally a waste of your time and removes joy from your life. In my teen  years I has a short time where I was self conscious about my body. Thank God it did not last long. I realized no one has a perfect body and to someone you look fabulous, and who cares about others haring how you look. I've been to many nude events in my life and I have to say I've never had an actual nudist be rude, or anything other than welcoming to me. You can tell people who are just getting off on being seen naked, because they have something to say about others bodies. This kind of person needs to feel superior by taring down others. They are not nudists, they are exabitionests. Acceptance of your own body can be hard to accomplish if you are not in a supportive environment. Many factions of society look down on the human body as being "dirty". This is false, the ...
