When my husband and I decided to try naturism it was here in the UK. We often spent time around the house with nothing on but not intentionally stripping off, just after a bath or in the morning.

The girls were growing up and we were looking for something we could do together as a couple so, we decided to give naturism a try. We had never been to a nude beach or anything similar when we made this decision so making contact with a club was both exciting and frightening.

The hardest part was actually walking into the club but we had arranged to be met by one of the club members (a couple). They let us walk around with our towels for comfort while they showed us the facilities and then purposely left us alone to decide if we actually wanted to go ahead with it or not. We both stood by the pool side and after about 5 minutes decided to just "go for it".

The biggest shock was that no one even noticed. I think we were expecting gasps of shock and finger pointing at the couple stripping of to jump into the pool ... it just felt so different, so strange ... but ... WE DID IT ... HURRAY.

Only other strange observation was that another new couple wanted to meet the people who showed us around, and asked us to describe them ... how do you describe someone without clothes on? A very strange experience when you’re not used to it.

Only regret now is that we didn't try it earlier.
