Naturists

Got chatting to an old friend who I bumped into in the supermarket yesterday - and she mentioned she was just back from a naturist holiday. I was stunned! Would never have had her down as the type to whip off her clothes in public. Made me wonder whether I have been too judgemental about the whole idea of naturism. It's not that I'm a prude - just self conscious and with wobbly bits to boot. Mentioned it to my husband last night and he thought it sounded great. Now I am panicking that he may want to give it a go some time.

Has anyone ever tried it? How long did it take you to be able to relax and enjoy it?

Many years ago when sailing about 6 miles off shore in Lyme bay I decided to sunbathe topless.my y young son was horrified ' mummy, someone might see you ' he said. The only vessel visible was a tanker way out on the horizon!

Been there, done it and we love it!
Can't see a damned thing without my glasses on!

Goodness, no! If my other half wanted to do it - I'd wave him off and tell him to go enjoy himself!

Only done it once, in an absolutely deserted, isolated cove at the bottom of a three hundred foot cliff, where we swam and sunbathed. It was strangely liberating, but I've never had the urge to do it again! (I'd never get up and down the steps in the cliff for one thing!)
