I just resently found the joy of being nude outside, all though it was by my self in an outdoor shower over a friends house. I have not found the curage to venture to a local resort yet. I am a pretty self-conctious person but love the feel of being naked outdoors. I guess I am looking for some encouragement. By reading how some of the rest of you got into it maybe it would help.
Started 5 years ago at Haulover clothing optional beach in Miami. It took me a very long time to try it without the bathing suit, but it was easy once I got used to it.
I started after moving out and getting my own place. Had a bit more freedom and it felt very comfortable and natural.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make a nude trip outdoors as yet.
