Hi guys, I joined this nudist site to help cure my fear of nudity. I have been raised in a family where nudity is ONLY for intimacy and it's driving me nuts because my boyfriend is totally comfortable with it. I really want to feel comfortable around nude people and I think that you guys are the best to help me.
The weirdest thing is that I am very open in talking about sexuality and EVERYTHING...
Please help me!!!!!!!!

There's nothing to it, but to do it!
I recommend not dressing after an evening shower, sleeping in the nude, and being nude while alone in your home as ways to get yourself used to your natural state again.
Once you're comfortable with your own skin, it will be easy to be nude around others.

In our culture, we're taught to be afraid of having our bodies uncovered. The best way to overcome this fear (as it is for any fear) is to confront it. As thornapplebison suggested, get used to having your body uncovered. Spend a lot of your private time nude and it may help to overcome your fear and associated feelings of vulnerability. As you become reaclimated to your natural state, you should feel your fear dissipate and your confidence grow.

The advise from the first 2 replies is good in general. My impression was that you are more interested I social nudity. Same principle applies. Start with a small group and work toward larger groups. Beaches and clubs are less crowded during the week. We have quite a few members in Canada who may be more helpful if you tell us what part of the country. You have a short summer enjoy it.
While this is slightly off topic.
Viky,(and everyone else)if you have children, particularly girls, let then spend some time nude. From potty training to puberty is only 8 years. Do them a favor let them be comfortable with their bodies. We all have to protect them from sunburn, perverts and everything in between. Sometimes we over do it.

Have a nice NUDE day !!

You guys are great!! Thank you so much for responding... I really need this, it's the only kind of therapy I thought of: talking to 'experts'  I feel comfortable being nude by myself and with my boyfriend... But like Balto Bob said, it starts at the beginning of life, I DO want to give that kind of freedom to my kids. Unfortunately, where I live (Québec), there are no nude beaches. We are a very 'prudish' community. I really want to overcome my fear by doing it myself. During my trip in Spain, I was planning on going topless on a half-nude beach but we didn't get the chance to go on a beach. That's my plan for now. By next summer, I wanna be comfortable around naked people. We are planning on going to Burning Man and I won't be able to go if I feel this way.Thank you guys so much for your advice, if you have anything else to say, PLEASE feel free, it'll get me THAT much closer to my freedom.

Viky,
You may be able to file more out at http://fcn.ca/ about what is available near where you live.
Make sure you check out their "Reference Information" page as well because they link to several good articles.
They also have a podcast that I could not find on their site but I did find in iTunes podcast list.
This link will take you to the podcast in iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/35ft6g

Check out the fcn site. The non-landed clubs often have pool or hottub parties. Some of are small due to the limits of the place they are using (someones home for example). Most clubs are looking for young couples, you should be able to find one within driving range. When I joined this group I had no idea there was a clothing optional beach less than 4 hours away.

I understand this thread being I used to be scared to death at idea of being nude around other people or in public etc. For me all it took was puberty to finish before I was ok with others seeing me nude.

Sometimes it's easier to go to a clothing optional resort. there you can get into the lifestyle slowly or not at all. ( depending on the other people ). Whatever you do, don't rush it. Let it come naturally ( pun intended ) The feeling of the sun and wind on your whole body is the best. And, whatever you do, don't expect to be or see "Barbie-doll" type people out there. We all come in different sizes and we accept all.
