When I was very young, so I’m told, it was very difficult to get any clothes on me at all. My parents were never actively naked at home but neither was catching a glimpse of a member of the family (no pun intended) ever a problem. Over time, of course, I learned that clothes are what people wear, so that’s what I did. I remember pyjamas being the first item of clothing that struck me as being silly. If clothes were supposed to protect our bodies and to keep us from being seen naked, what on earth was the point of them in my bed? Especially when they masked the sensation of cool sheets on bare skin on a hot night. By the time I was old enough to be left alone during the holidays I was committed to spending my time at home alone naked. I suppose it was part rebellion against the norm, part laziness but most of all that I was comfortable. Comfortable in a way that clothes never made me feel. I was never interested in fashion, I really couldn’t understand girls who could ridicule someone for what they wore, then three months later be wearing the very same thing because it was ‘in’. Clothes can make a statement, whatever you wear. There are those who have to be at the cutting edge of fashion at all times, those who are anti-fashion and make a point of wearing something outlandish and those who don’t much care and just try not to stand out. When I’m naked, that is who I am. No labels, no trying to impress. This is me. Just accept me.

When naked, you are vulnerable and exposed! And when others are with you naked, they are vulnerable and exposed as well!
Exactly right about the PJs! Silly! Like wearing a bathing suit in the shower. Who comes up with these ideas anyway?? 🙂
It looks a bit like my childhood too and I am sure many of us had the same experience. Anyway well said Aurora.
hear hear! Very well said
"You're going out dressed like that?"
"You're wearing that." "You're not going out looking like that are you?"
"Did you look in the mirror before you left the house?" "You are joking, right?"
"That shirt and pants don't go together."
Naked? You let people see your ass? Have you no shame?
Very Nicely Said, Aurora
Growing up in a clothed world, I always took them off whenever I could also. Especially clothes in bed where no one sees you is pointless like wearing a swimsuit in the bath or shower.
I suspect a preference for nudity is in your genes, as is the case with many of us. It just comes naturally. Welcome to Naktiv. I hope you meet many naked friends here.
Well said!
A very good read, eloquent and well thought out. Thank you Aurora
That sounds similar to my childhood.
Simply and honestly stated. Thanks.
Men's fashion isn't as volatile as women's, but either way I've never seen the point. When I have to wear clothes, I wear what's comfortable. I prefer wearing nothing, so that's what I wear as often as I can. Your point about it just being me is spot on!
Well said indeed, you are unique so not able to be labeled with trends or fashion statements. As am I and all other naturist folk!
Well said.
Thank you for sharing!! God bless!
