I
suppose it all started as a child, although I
was not aware of it at that time.
I knew nothing of naturism then, but I do know
that I loved to take my clothes of in open spaces,
and around the home when nobody was in.
I was taught nudity is WRONG except in private, ie.
bathroom or
bedroom with the
door shut.
I
used to live on the outskirts of a town on the
south coast of England, behind our home was open
fields,
and common land covered with various bushes and
ferns, there was also a stream and an old disused
clay quarry which had many lakes and pools.
It
was here that I first experience the feel of the
sun, wind and rain on my naked body, and I ENJOYED
it.
Yes I know we have all been there, the skinny
dipping crowd, but it was not only that for me.
I went out of my way to get away from the other
lads so I could strip off and enjoy nudity,
not for a laugh, but because I felt it was right.
I would lay there and enjoy the sounds of nature
around me,
standing in the stream or sitting in it and
feeling the cool water flowing around my body.
I would just sit and watch as other animals moved
around in the bushes and open spaces,
or I would go running through the ferns, climb
trees.
I WAS AT ONE WITH NATURE
Occasionally I would have the chance to camp out
over night, what fun that was, and if I was on my
own it was better,
I would lay in the open by a camp fire naked, and
on a clear night just look up at the stars, how
lovely it felt,
the heat from the dancing flames of the fire, on
my naked body, only to be cooled by the odd breeze
of wind.
When I started to
write this page I realized that it really had
nothing to do with Naturism/Nudism,
but there again it is a part of my life, and part
of the process by which I became a Naturist.
So if you think it has no place here then I can
only apologies as I think it does.
As I entered my mid-teens I found that other
distractions took me away from my earlier
pastimes.
Leaving school and finding work, and starting to
get involved in other teenage activities, i.e.
clubs, drink, girls,
and of course the dreaded word sex. My feeling for
nudity were still there, but the change in
lifestyle,
meant they did not seem as important and were put
on the back burner. I still enjoyed it on the odd
occasion
that I found myself on my own, and could relax to
enjoy it, although I had heard of naturism/nudism
(i.e. nudist colonies) I did not follow it up, I
no longer went out of my way to indulge in nudity.
Dealing with
puberty was
another distraction, there were no sex education
classes then, and not having a father
to talk to made it difficult, although I am not
sure if it made it would have been different if I
had a father to talk to,
sex was not a subject to be discussed, my brothers
who were not much older than myself were not of
much help,
they had been through it and only made fun of me.
Yes in my earlier years, (like all kids), I had
heard of this word sex, and wondered what it was
all about,
looked at the girlie mags and laugh with the other
lads, and got the erections, had the wet dreams
and masturbated.
All of this was fun, but it did not prepare me for
the feelings that were about to take over my body,
the feeling that I would get when I was with my
girlfriend. These were enjoyable years, but
started out very confusing,
I eventually got married, and had a child. My
feelings for nudity were still on the back burner.
The marriage only lasted 6 years.
Then for the next 4 or 5 years I moved around the
country, not settling down anywhere,
just moving on from town to town and job to job,
until I moved into the Berkshire area.
As I said at the top of the page all of this has
little to do with Naturism/nudism, but it does
sort of fill in the lost years. |
