Letting it All Hang Out (Dare to Love Yourself)

Image
Not Friday, but here is a frontal shot. I have to say if a guy like me can be happy with his body, almost anyone can be. That is in the light of society telling people like me we don't fit the mold. To hell with the mold, I'm beautiful just the way I am. With being raised to be fine with my body, I am lucky. All the males in my childhood home would hang out at night with nothing on. It let to a couple of interesting times when someone came to the door late at night to visit, but that only happened twice. Mom on the other hand was damaged by Catholic guilt and had to be covered at all times. I feel bad for people who where raised to be ashamed of their natural state of being. The way the mass media wants you to think a "good body" looks is almost unobtainable. They use this imposed vision of perfection to keep a billion people buying crap they don't need. All to fit a mold less than 1% of people can fit. This industry ends up making a lot of people hate how they lo

Being in an Apartment is not Optimal for Nudism

I some days hate the limitations of living in an apartment. I can't make too much noise or I'll bother other people around me, yet there is always that one person who makes shit piles of noise and does not care. I just can't be that inconsiderate. There is also the thing where people may come to your door at anytime. Others from my floor on occasion come to my door for something or just to talk. Maintenance shows up without a warning as well. There has been the one time where the fellow who fixes the fridges came over and I had not one clue he was coming over. Well here I sat in my chair nude and listening to music on the headphones and did not hear the door. Well he used the pass key to enter and got an eye full of naked Dave. Most of the time like right now I have clothing on in the daytimes and the blinds open. I am on the second floor and you can kind of see me in the window if I get close to it (from the parking lot), so I don't chance it and put clothing on. As so

See Yourself How You Are, Not How Others Say You Are

It's about the freedom to be the way the Goddess intended us to me. It's also very much about comfort, not only of the body, but of the soul. When you are comfortable being nude and have no shame left for your nakedness, you are comfortable with you own body image. Being body image positive about yourself frees you from the oppression of society and the so called puritanical. You have to train children to think clothing is the normal way, and that alone should tell you, you are probably wrong. There is always blessed souls who never accept that being clothed is the best way to be. The ones you can never convince being clothed all the time is good for them somehow. To the way of thinking of a nudist, this is oppressing the inner spirit. I know this sounds like some kind of religion, but it's not, it's just accepting who we are as living beings means nudity is the natural state. To the best of our knowledge clothing was invented to keep warm in the cold months. It later t

Life is Better Nude and That's Not the Mark of the Beast

Nothing like rendering some 3D fractals, and doing Jigsaw Puzzles in the nude, while listening to some good music. Got to say everything is better when you are nude, I think. It's a shame society is still hung up on this is such a big way. I know people that literally do not think it's OK to enjoy their own home naked. Even if they are alone, they still have clothing on. I don't honestly know how I would feel about this, if I had not been raised to think it's OK to run around the home nude. My father, brother and I often did in the evenings. My mother who was raised very Catholic, on the other hand was never able to free herself from the shame she felt about her body, that was driven into her head by her faith. Honest to GOD, that's not the mark of the beast on me. I had two operations in the same spot and was cut in two different directions. So, there it is, an upside down cross on my belly. I like to sit in the dark, listen to music and watch the security feed for

Living Among the Clothed

I find it more pleasant to have nothing on of course. Most nudists don't like the feeling of clothing. However, I live in a building with many other people and now and then in the daylight hours people come to the door and I need to quickly put on pants and a shirt. There has been a time where the guy who fixes the fridges walked in on me while I had the headphones on. I literally did not hear him at the door. So now I tend to listen to music only in the evening and night times. It can be a right bother to live in an apartment that is not nudist friendly. I do however dream of being able to live full time in a place where clothing is not mandatory. I see others who live in communities or buildings where they can be free, and I long for that for myself. I also tend most of the time to have a shirt on when I'm doing YouTube videos as people don't seem to have the ability to be mature and not comment about having no shirt on. There are a few videos where I did post myself with

The Journey to Self-Worth

Sitting in my chair having some cheap vodka and listening to music, is a great way to relax. The freedom of nudism is a very liberating experience. When you become fine with how you look and who you are, no one can take that from you. Nudists in general don't care what you look like, they only care how you act. Have some decorum and you will fit right in. I've been to many events and camps over the years but have to admit it's been at least 15 years since I been with fellow nudists. Living in an apartment building is also not super conducive to being in the lifestyle. There is the long time to get to the door that people might wonder about. I have been walked in on once. I had the headphones on and the guy to fix the fridge came in and there I was. Oh well, I'm sure it's not the only time this has happened. Never let the world determine your self-worth, that is for you to decide only. It can take a long time to become fine with yourself, as this world makes a good t

Live Free of How Others See You

The marketing empire has since the 1940's set out to make us no love ourselves. They want us to buy things in order to look good, smell good, and so on. The unrealistic body types that are very often used in ads are rare and most people will never look like them no matter how hard the work, or what they spend. It has lead to a large number of people who are convinced they are not worthy, and want to hide their bodies. As well in the past, even up to the 1970's, it was accepted for people to swim nude - Granted that by the 1970's it was not very common anymore. But in the time of my father being young, men often swan nude in public pools and lakes. There was no shame to it. Over my lifetime I've seen it become less socially accepted to be nude among others. The shift to a more so called moralistic way of life, is presenting nudity as linked only to sex. The term "sex is done nude, but nude is not sex", comes strongly to mind. Yet the hard core religious types w
