Hi all
In late August this year, I was travelling across the Baltic states on an organised tour. One day, we stopped/camped in a place called Nida in Lithuania. Late in the afternoon I went for a walk on my own and found myself overlooking the beach and noticed that it was a general naturist beach on one side, and a female-only naturist beach on the other. I had never really had an urge to visit a naturist beach before, but seeing them there and feeling a little hemmed in, I thought, "Why not?" and decided to give it a go.
Of course, you all know what happened next....I absolutely loved it. Swimming in the sea au naturel was a truly wonderful feeling and I can't begin to describe how liberating it felt
Returning to London and keen to explore these new feelings, I applied for and ran in the 5K race at the Naturist Foundation which felt fantastic. But, the best part of the day was walking on my own through the grounds enjoying nature all around me. Euphoric is a word I've seen on a number of posts here, and it is definitely the right word for how I felt that day
Sadly, with winter upon us, it feels like it's the worst time of year to discover this new-found interest. However, very shortly I have a weeks holiday coming up in Estepona on the Costa Del Sol. Weather permitting, I plan on visiting Costa Natura
Sadly, my partner is pretty horrified with all this, but I'm trying not to be in any way pushy about it. I have very little hope she will come around and join me, but as long as she is ok with me persuing this, then I will be happy
Cheers
Mike
IMHO the "horrified" my well come from the suddenness with which it all happened. If this is so and you can take it easy and let it all ride she may may come round quicker than you expect, but in any case stay calm and wait - it's usually the best policy.

BE HAPPY BEING NUDE!
My wife’s initial reaction was pretty much like yours. When, while on holiday in Gran Canaria, I pointed out a sign for the naturist beach she wouldn’t even look in that direction despite the sign saying it was 700m further along the beach never mind walk another step in that direction. I started sleeping nude all the time then gradually expanded the time I spend nude at either end of the day, just going to and from the shower nude, not getting dressed immediately, stripping off my gardening clothes completely before coming back into the house etc and over time she has become more comfortable with it.
Now when we were recently in Fuerteventura on holiday she happily went for walks along the nudist bits of beach. She never suggested stopping and undressing, but she wasn’t phased by it. She was also not phased that I sunbathed nude on our balcony reading my book. In fact I barely wore clothes at all while in our hotel room and she was fine with it.
I’m actually now wondering if I suggested a spa trip to Germany or the Netherlands or some such, where spa nudity was normal and indeed mandatory, if she would be comfortable joining me.
So keep going and give your wife time to get used to the idea. I’m sure she will at least become more accepting of your nudity even if she never wants to join in herself.
