for the cave tour. We will be carpooling to
this event also. Check their Facebook Page for
reservations. Also, let us know if you are
planning to attend so we can somewhat coordinate
things.
How Becoming A Nudist Helped Me Accept My Body'
"If people twice my age and size can bare it all and love
their bodies, why can’t I?"

As I sat in a parking lot on a frigid February night,
trying to get up my nerve to walk inside the athletic
club, a man with a shocked face rushed out of the
building.
“Damn, they’re having some kind of wild party in there,”
he said, saying he peeked into the pool room. “It’s a
bunch of naked people!”
I started giggling, because in a few minutes, I was going
to become one of said naked people.
My name is Blaine*, and I am a nudist. (Alright, go ahead
and say it: “Hi Blaine!”)
Obviously, being a nudist isn’t something that just
happens overnight. I’m an outgoing woman who loves
chatting with people. But frankly, I was used to doing it
the conventional way, with clothes on—until that fateful
night almost five ago, when I joined that nudist party at
the athletic club.
Ever since my college days, I have been sleeping in the
nude, even in the dead of winter. I often hang out at
home in the buff. I'm generally pretty comfortable with
myself naked. But five years ago, after years of yo-yo
dieting, I was at my heaviest weight. I definitely felt
self-conscious about my size.
I had what you could call an “Oh, f—k it!” kind of moment
in the months leading up to my birthday that year. I
always felt good naked—why couldn't I feel like that all
the time? I worked up the courage to try nudism as an act
of confidence and freedom, and started reading about the
nudist world. After lots of searching, I found a nudist
group in my area that I thought I could try out. So a few
weeks after my birthday, I wore my birthday suit to that
athletic club. Now, I am going on five years in this
clandestine lifestyle.
There are a lot of misconceptions about nudists. People
assume it is all about sex, or that it's just a bunch of
creepy, lecherous old men. But that hasn't been my
experience at all. In fact, my delicious hobby—indulged
by semi-monthly indoor swim parties, and summer trips to
a nudist camp—has transformed my life.
Going to nudist events made me realize quickly that there
is no "perfect" body. Nudists (or naturists, if you will)
consider the human body a beautiful creation, and
something of which no one should be ashamed. All your
"flaws" are out in the open when you're naked—but then
again, so are everyone else's. I see people of all ages,
sizes, and body conditions. And none of them are alike.
Breasts come in many shapes and sizes. Penises come in
both “show-ers and grow-ers,” and circumcised and uncut.
Most, if not all, bodies have scars, growths, and
cellulite. You just don’t see these differences when
people wear clothes. If people twice my age and size can
bare it all and love their bodies, why can’t I?
