My first experience was when I was about 8 years old, my dad died when I was 6 so it was just me and my mum, my mum used to take me to a friend of hers house who had a daughter roughly the same age as me, as soon as we arrived her daughter and I would strip off and play naked in her bedroom, garden and run all over the house for hours, my mum or her mum never got naked so I don't think they were naturists, I think it was just a kid thing, unless her mum sugested it to mine and that's why we stopped seeing them but I think it was because we moved.
Anyway the feeling of being free and running around naked stayed with me ever since, however because society is the way it is I thought I was in a minority so didn't practise naturism unless alone at home and a couple of times when the oppotunity arose where I was alone walking in the countryside etc, so apart from that and sleeping naked from about the age of 11 I missed out until about 5 years ago when for some reason I just decided to google naturism, I couldn't beleive how many people of both sexes and all ages were nudists, I was both pleased and anoyed, pleased because I wasn't the odd one and could now become a full nudist and anoyed because I have missed out on so many years of doing something which I enjoy and makes me feel great, also thinking that I was odd or not normal etc because of how people portray nudism, So now I have been making up for lost time.
