Less is more
Can wearing less — less clothes, that is — add more to one’s life?
That is certainly the case with our experience, and with that of many of our closest nudist friends. As nudists, of course, we wind up wearing the literal minimum of clothing as often as possible — meaning we enjoy life nude whenever practical and possible. But does becoming a nudist, or practicing the nudist lifestyle, really add more to one’s life? And if so, why?
We and many of our nudist friends would argue strongly in the affirmative. In fact, nearly everyone we’ve met through nudism has remarked at one time or another that they never would have met and made friends with so many wonderful people as they have through social nudism.
We agree. The bonds that being nude socially with others brings is something special, something which we can not find a parallel for in any other social setting. People from very different backgrounds, professions, levels of income and education are brought together through nudism and the liberating, equalizing effect that being unclad with others brings.
When we mention to non-nudist friends that we spent the weekend at a party with 70 or so good friends, they blink in disbelief. Yet, it’s true: all of our close friends, and nearly everyone we consider good friends, are folks we met through nudism — and it is a number far greater than the friends we had before becoming nudists.
So yes, less is more when it comes to friendships and meeting a wide range of great, easy-going people — less clothes, that is!
yes, i agree with ur views on nudism. i am a nudist myself. nice to read your blog page.
I feel my life is going away and nudism has not yet become part of it. Yes, early in the morning, when everybody else is asleep, I like to feel the soft morning breeze in the nude. Sometimes my wife and myself take a swim in our pool in the nude. But aside from those rather rare occasions, I sort of feel that my life is fading away and I have missed the emotion of total nakedness with friends and people in general. We would certainly like to break the ice. Write a blog about how to do that… thanks.
