Hi, It was the summer of 1989 that I had my first naturist experience. I was 25 years old and I'd had an interest in naturism for sometime, mainly because my fathers cousins were naturists although they rarely talked about it unless asked. Also because my family had a young lady who worked for them back in the 1970's who along with her husband visited naturist beaches or beaches where you could go nude unnoticed back then.
I was aware of a naturist beach at Holkham in Norfolk which is local to me and visited for the first time in the summer of 1989 not really knowing what to expect, but I have not looked back for the last 23 years.
It was and still is a wonderfully uplifting and confidence building experience being nude and perfectly normal to just be able to sunbath nude and walk along the beach with no clothes on. I find it so relaxing too. Apart from that an all over tan looks so much better!
I'm now married and able to share naturism with my wife. We both love living nude at home and going to the beach, although she is more reserved than me and prefers a quiet corner of a beach where she can relax.
