The connection between nudity and writing.

As a writer it is suggested that you choose a specific time of day and a specific place to write. Some famous authors have even chosen to be adorned or not when they write. One of them would even go so far as to have his servant take his clothing away from him until his writers block went away almost as a form of punishment! I choose to write this way to remove any distractions.

Transitioning from nudist to naturist

With most topics I do an extraordinary amount of research before I take a stance. I learned that there is philosophical difference between nudism and being a naturist. Nudism involves being clothes free whereas naturalism involves being not just clothes free but being outdoors as much as possible enjoying nature.

Holla back!

In my quest to embrace, or should I say re-embrace, the nudist lifestyle I sought to connect with other people of color. I say re-embrace because I was well on my way to becoming a true fan of the nudist lifestyle when I was married and lived in Texas. My wife wasn't into nudity and couldn't understand my interest. I was self employed and worked from home much of the time. My clients didn't know my state of undress when I negotiated a contract for training over the phone. Fortunately, this was before videoconferencing became popular. I put this lifestyle on the backburner when I was diagnosed with MS, got divorced, sold my house and moved back to San Diego. Like a brush fire that wasn't completely extinguished, I rekindled my desire for the nudist lifestyle.

Black Nudism: An Update

I found this blog post by Earl D. and I was intrigued. To know that I am not alone is encouraging! What would I do with this newly found information? https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/02/the-state-of-the-community-naturismnudism-and-clothes-free-living-african-americans-and-the-clothes-free-community/

My gift to myself...

This birthday doesn't fall on a significant milestone year like my 50th or one's 75th birthday. It's significant because I'm grown! I decided to treat myself to a few days at a nudist resort to see how I like it and say that I've done that. As a Black professional, I am used to being the only person of color in the room. Now I plan to find out what it's like to be the only person of color with no clothes on! Stay tuned...

Reconciliation of Christianity and nudity.

As a Christian and a nudist I have struggled with this issue. What does the Bible say about nudity? Should people be clothed all of the time? Is it ever appropriate to be unclothed? There are specific times in the Bible that a person was nude. I have read commentaries and a key provision focused on whether the person was nude voluntarily or involuntarily.

"Try it, you'll like it!"

I suggested that a friend try going fabric free in her house with her husband and she declined my suggestion. Her reason is that she's 'scared'... "Sacred of what?", I asked her. "My boobs aren't as perky as they used to be...", she replied.' Is that the reason that you don't take showers? I thought to myself. There was absolutely no logic to her reply. We both knew it, but she had to live with it. People usually say something like this when this option is suggested. To that I simply respond,"Try it, you'll like it!"
