Answer 2

Hi solow,

No, I didn't grow up in a naturist family but my mum and dad sometimes used to go nude in front of me at home when I was little.

I became very body shy and prudish as a teenager, largely because I was raised in a strict Catholic school but I eventually turned against it when I became a nudist.  My family was/is okay with it, but most of my school friends didn't want to have anything to do with me when they found out even though I didn't try to hit on them or anything like that.  

Answer 3

I think you mean "Naturist". "Naturalists" are people who study nature. I suppose one can be both.

Anyway. I was introduced to Naturism when I was 16 by a friend who's family were all Naturists. I spent lots of time at thier home and at thier family's cabin. Her family was very open, not just with thier bodies, but with communication too. There weren't a lot of secrets in the family. I used to discuss things with them that I never could with my family. I never had any hang-ups about my body and I'm pretty accepting of other people. I'm always trying to improve my own appearance and maintain my weight, but I do it for ME, not because I feel I have to impress someone else. Several of our other friends also came to her house or went camping as well. When I was 16-18 there were 6-8 of us (guys and girls) between 14-18 who all spent a lot of time nude at her house. Not a lot of our peers knew about her family's nudism. I think a lot of people wouldn't understand. I've never discussed it with my parents and my wife is not really into nudism either. Sometimes my nudism is an issue with my wife. I love her, but sometimes I wish I had married a nudist. Luckilly we have a lot of other things in common.
