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.

As the end of the year approaches, we look back with satisfaction at the amount of blissful nude time we have enjoyed throughout the year.Starting with last New Year’s Eve, we entered 2007 nude at the annual “Nude Year’s Eve” party our club hosts every year, and spent a glorious nine days on the nude cruise in February. Frequent parties through the year with our nudist club gave dozens more opportunities for nude fun from spring through fall, and we’re still looking forward to a nude Christmas Day and of course New Year’s Eve with our nudist friends.

Working from home affords the wonderful luxury of earning a living while nude, too, and we spend nearly every day from March through October nude at home “earning” a living. Indeed, for much of the year, it’s easier to count up the hours we spend clothed.

But with 2008 coming up, there are still several nude “goals” we’d like to meet in the new year. With any luck, each of these activities will be done nude at some time during 2008, if our current plans come through:

• Moving to a nudist resort to live full-time (mid-year)
• Washing the car nude — a long-sought wish
• Nude bowling — we’re trying to arrange that one now!
• Nude roller skating — missed a chance to do that in the past, but we won’t again in 2008

What kinds of unusual sports / activities / work have you been able to do in the buff? What’s still left on your nude ‘to-do’ list that you’d like to cross off in 2008? Check the list of what others have accomplished on their “nude to-do” lists — and add your own! — in The Nude Life Forum.
