Naked- being without clothing or covering <\/p>That is the definition on dictionary.com<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For me being naked is a release from the every day stresses of life. Life all too often is fast paced and stressful at times. Being naked is taking a step back from your day to day activity and taking back some me time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this lockdown, I\u2019ve found myself wanting to be naked for longer and because we have been confined to our homes this has enabled me to do this more, and with the glorious weather too it\u2019s been another reason to enjoy it in the sun ??.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve also found myself walking round the house more without a stitch on, because I find it more comfortable than wearing clothes. When you are slightly overweight the last thing you want to be reminded of is the fact some of your clothes are now a bit tight fitting on you. With out clothes you don\u2019t get that same feeling as nothing is trying to hold you in. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I don\u2019t like being fat\/overweight and want to lose my oversized belly this summer, but I also feel comfortable in my own skin, and accept the way I am. That\u2019s the first thing you need to feel comfortable to go naked- body acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are all of differing shapes and sizes and that should not make a difference if you are naked. It\u2019s what you\u2019re like on the inside, that determines what people think of you. Both myself and Claire would rather we had better bodies but it\u2019s what we\u2019re like on the inside that determines if people like us or not.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Being a member of a Sun Club also enables me to enjoy my free time with likeminded individuals in a safe and welcoming environment. I\u2019ve been a member of Haslemere Sun Club<\/a> since 1999, 21 years this year, and I can hand on heart say that I\u2019ve met the most genuine and friendliest of people there who have turned out to be life long friends. I think being a naturist means you\u2019ve nothing to hide, people take you as you are, wrinkles, flab and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the lockdown too, I\u2019ve felt more confident than ever to experience being naked in the general open, where you run the risk of being seen by complete strangers. It\u2019s important to note, that it\u2019s not illegal to be naked in public unless you are going out to deliberately offend someone. The fact you feel comfortable walking naked in the sunshine without another soul around does not make you a pervert or weirdo. The freedom of walking around with no clothes is liberating and refreshing, no sticky clothes clinging to you when you get too hot ?, and just the general feeling of being at one with nature. If you haven\u2019t experienced it, I\u2019d recommend it, you May just enjoy it and wonder why you\u2019d never tried it before now!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
