I have a cold, or at least that is what it appears to be, complete with coughing, stuffed up head and fuzziness. As a result, we only walked for six kilometres this morning. As we got closer to the end of our walk, I spotted a likely place for some sunbathing. Actually, I made mental notes of three likely locations for use in the future. Because it is a weekday and there is basically no beach traffic, I had planned for this eventuality by carrying a beach blanket in my small carry bag. For a half hour, I got to be swimsuit free. It was all I was hoping for with the exception of the sun deciding to hide behind clouds cutting my time short.
So, what is it about, this searching for opportunities to be clothing free? In my case, it isn’t about being an exhibitionist. I make a point about ensuring that I am unlikely to be seen, especially if I am not in my home/casa/rental. With the conditions being “safe,” I waste no time in ditching my clothing. Would I consider being nude in public where others are not nude?
The short answer is “No!” There are too many complications that would make life for those who are close to me, very stressful. Getting naked is about relieving my stress, not about adding stress to others. In a setting where others are nude, I don’t wear clothing. I am very comfortable with nudity when others around me are comfortable with my nudity, or nudity in general. But all of that said, I would love to be nude as often as possible given weather conditions.
Life somehow gets to be partially framed with naturism in mind. For example, as we drive down any road, in just about any country, I can’t help but notice which properties would be excellent choices for a naturist home. Homes in the countryside with a large yard surrounded by trees rates the highest in my eyes. To have a sizable number of acres bordered by trees and containing small meadows, a pond, and a scattering of copses of bushes and trees would be perfect.
As we drive, none of this kind of thinking appears until I see a property that looks appealing. Passing the property, that thought disappears and I focus on the ride itself. Consider that the naturist thoughts are more unconscious responses, a spiritual / psychological / physiological response to what I see. In other words, there is a foundation about who I am that has to do with being authentically me – nothing hidden, no shame about self, no judgment about others.
