The Nude Life

The Nude Life is in its second six months of life, and we’ve managed a total of 52 posts (including this one); we’ve migrated to our own domain; and we’ve set up a community forum for nudists from everywhere to discuss and share their experiences.

Along the way, we’ve tried to share some thoughts and real-life insights into living the nude life, but at the same time we wonder if we’re ‘trying too hard’ to come up with good post topics. After all, once you’ve taken your clothes off and begun life in earnest as a nudist, being nude as much as possible and enjoying nude recreation, nude cruises and the fun of an active local nudist club, how more more is left to be said?

It’s not like there are new innovations everyday in being nude — if anything, it is literally the world’s oldest state of being. And as tens of thousands of other nudists do everyday, we here at The Nude Life go about our daily business, earning a living, loving, laughing, dealing with what life sends our way, as anyone else does — we just do it wearing a whole lot less than most folks do.

Yet it seems that the relative novelty of being a nudist in America is worthy of a blog post now and then. We think of ourselves and very experienced nudists, having been nearly everywhere and done nearly everything there is to do nude in the US and most of the Caribbean for the past 12 years — and soon, we’ll set out on another chapter of our lives as we retire and move to a nudist resort in Florida to live nude full-time.

We’ve been grateful for the contributions of our guest blogger, and we’re still interested in hearing from other nudists who’d like to guest-blog here on The Nude Life. And we’ve especially been gratified for the substantial readership this blog gets (if we’re to believe the Feedburner stats) — which grows each month.

But we’d really like to hear more from our readers, with their questions, comments, feedback and thoughts about what they like, dislike and would like to see more of on The Nude Life. So if you have anything you’d like to share, we invite you to post a comment to any post here on the blog, or of course send us an e-mail at editor@thenudelife.com.

And in the meantime, we’ll stay nude — and keep trying to make The Nude Life blog worth your while to read.

We’ve been nude for the better half of 2008 so far, six days into the new year. Since the big Nude Year’s Eve party we enjoyed on the last night of 2007 with about 50 nudist friends, we returned to work on January 2 but still spent nearly the whole of New Year’s week nude. Besides extending the bliss and comfort of a wonderful 11-day holiday break into 2008, we’re enjoying more warm weather right now which allowed some decent outdoor nude time over the past week.

There’s simply no doubt about it: being nude as much as possible helps our peace of mind, our well-being, our happiness, and needless to say our comfort and feeling of freedom. Being nude most of the time since the final days of 2006 has renewed our conviction that nudism is something we, along with the rest of the world, need a lot more of.

And so, we have set ourselves the goal of making 2008 our nudest year ever. We aim to be nude at all times when at home unless there’s a very good reason not to be, such as when non-nudist visitors are in the home; we aim to be nude as much as possible when on vacation at as many nudist destinations as we can get to this year; and we aim to spend virtually every minute spent in hotel rooms while on the road nude as well.

In short, nudity will be the default condition starting with 2008, and we won’t make excuses for being nude; instead, it will require a good reason why we shouldn’t be nude from now on.

It is a more pleasant and simple way of living, and certainly one that is more blissful and comfortable. There’s just no reason not to try to maximize our nude time from now on. So 2008 will be our nudest year ever — and so far, we’ve made a very good start at it.

And how’s your nude time in 2008 going? Share your experiences with other nudists from around the world in The Nude Life Forum.
