The Nude Life

We certainly picked a great time to be alive.

One of us works from home full-time (telecommuting) and the other is able to do a good deal of work from home as well when on call or after-hours, so naturally, we enjoy working nude whenever possible.

This delightful arrangement began shortly in August, 2001 when one of us made the move to a home office arrangement. That was still fairly cutting-edge at the time, but with a good DSL line at home, and no staff to oversee in the business office we had been driving 10 miles to each day, it wasn’t that hard a sell for us to convince The Man that we could pull it off.

The productivity boost was immediate, as was the comfort level. Nudity during work hours quickly became the norm for the rest of that summer, and through the winter months it was discovered that wearing slippers alone can aid in keeping an otherwise nude body comfortably warm during the day, without needing to run the furnace up to 76 degrees. So we were saving money on both laundry and heating bills in the winter, air conditioning bills in the summer, and feeling more relaxed and comfortable all day, every day.

A simple habit was instituted of keeping a pair of shorts by the bannister to throw on if the UPS man or postman rang the bell, but most days were spent in peaceful nudity while hard at work (such as it is!) doing our regular job via telephone, computer and Internet. Little did any of our many colleagues know of any of this, of course!

Summer, as you can imagine, is the very most pleasant time to be a “home-bound” telecommuning nudist worker, especially for us with a beautiful swimming pool just out our back door, plenty of Western sun beaming down on the patio and pool all afternoon, and complete privacy in the whole area.

That gave us the incredible amenity of being able to take a quick “swim break” during the morning or afternoon, or relax by the pool and work on our tans while listening in on one of those seemingly endless conference calls.

Just the freedom of being able to step out of the shower in the morning, knowing that aside from a moment or two of clothedness to fetch the newspaper from the front walk first thing in the morning, we didn’t have to or need to put on a stitch of clothing all day or night. No office job could ever compare to THAT as a perk!

Six years-plus into the nude home office routine now, and it only gets better. Our frame of mind is so much better than ever before when we worked in an office, and we hardly mind sitting and staring at a computer or working through the day’s problems while we’re nude. It almost seems like we should be giving back some of our salary in exchange for this wonderful, pleasant, natural and simple way of life.

This isn’t our first big rodeo.

Before deciding to start our own blog, we had some fairly good results acting as an “unpaid reporter” for another nudist blog earlier this year, when we filed a series of reports from the 10-day nude cruise on the Holland America Maasdam. Those reports are ours, along with all the photos filed with them, and the series of posts got a lot of visibility on the nudist Internet at the time — in fact, Bare Necessities still has a link to those posts on their main Web page.

After seeing the kind of readership those postings got on someone else’s blog, it got us to thinking about the apparent vacuum in blogs written by and about real nudists, doing the kinds of things real nudists do. That led to finally deciding to start up this blog, since we think we have plenty of nudist experiences to share, and lots more to come in the future.

Indeed, we plan to spend the better part of the rest of our lives nude, living at a nudist resort when we retire next year and traveling part of the year to visit nudist resorts around the country, attend the AANR conventions, and so on. In effect, the rest of our lives will be spent as nude as we can, in as many places as we can, and doing as many new things as we can within the nudist lifestyle.

Besides, we like to write, and we like to spread the fun and relaxation of social nudism to as many nice folks as we can. Maybe this little blog, just one among many millions, can help with that — and let us share our love of this wonderful lifestyle with friends we haven’t even met yet!

It seems like 99% of the “nudist” blogs on the Internet are really trolling pages for swingers, single males and perverts who somehow think that using the word ‘nudist’ will attract the kind of people they want to connect with.

Well, we’re nudists, and none of that type of stuff is what nudism is about. So we thought there ought to be at least ONE blog on the Internet written by and about real nudists, who just enjoy the nudist lifestyle and all the wonderful benefits it offers.

About us: we have been active nudists for about 14 years. We are active in a large local nudist travel club called the Sunbirds, in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas region. We’re members of AANR, the nation’s largest and oldest nudist association.

We have been on 10 of the nude cruises sponsored by Bare Necessities Tour and Travel, as well as three “Buff Diving” nude SCUBA diving trips with the Buff Divers group (now defunct). All of that is in addition to more than 50 other vacations, trips and shorter getaways to local, national and international nudist destinations in the mainland US, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Hawaii.

At home, we’re nude nearly all the time during the warm summer months here in Dallas, and spend nearly every weekend nude outside by our pool or partying with our friends in the Sunbirds. We really enjoy the great fun and the wonderful friends we meet as nudists, and we really can’t imagine going back to a clothing-compulsive life.

Soon, we will be retiring and moving to a nudist resort in Florida to live for part of the year, as well as buying a big 5th Wheel RV and touring the country during the summer, seeing as much of the US (and as many of the country’s nudist resorts and nude beaches!) as possible.

So that’s a little about us. More to come soon, since summer is a busy time for nudists in Dallas and we have a lot to report on!

Stay real,

Full Time Nudists
