Getting Over the Hump

[cocksox]

Have you ever had a dream where you're nude in public? Maybe you're giving a presentation in class or at work when you realize you're completely naked. It seems to be a common anxiety that only manifests as we reach adolescence.

I grew up in a "naked family". My mom was often naked at home for no particular reason. My grandparents, her parents, openly displayed photos of themselves nude on vacation. Weekends with the family included plenty of swimming, soaking, and sunning nude.

When we were young, my sister and I embraced the family attitude. When we got home from school, our clothes often ended up on the floor with our backpacks and shoes. Breakfasts were enjoyed without clothes and, if we had nowhere else to be, we were nude all day.

Our mom encouraged nudity wherever it was reasonably appropriate. Playing in the sprinklers, relaxing by the lake, and sometimes just hanging out at home with friends was often done in the nude.

At first, our friends didn't think twice about disrobing. The older we got, however, the more hesitant they were to be nude. It didn't deter me or my sister. Sometimes they'd join us, but less often as time passed.

I happened to overhear my mom talking to my friend's mom at a pool party. "Isn't he a little old to be swimming naked?" she asked my mom. Until then, I hadn't considered it. Looking around, I was the only one without a bathing suit.

So began my transition to a more modest lifestyle. At home, our mom still encouraged openness, but it was hard to keep them separate. We started becoming more reserved at home too.

For most, that's where the story ends. Prudishness pervades. By the time I reached puberty, I wore boxers and long swim shorts like my friends. But, thanks to my family, I got over the hump.

They accommodated my sister and my newfound modesty for a few years. My sister started to get over hers first. It happened naturally. Fashion changed, and my mom was happy to buy her the cheeky and thong bikinis that were in style.

That summer, we spent a lot of time with my grandparents. My mom, sister, grandma, and grandpa wore similarly skimpy swimsuits. After a while, my mom and grandma started going topless. My sister joined them. Seeing an opening, my mom went bottomless. It wasn't long before she and my grandparents were nude regularly. One day, my sister decided to lose her bottoms.

I was the only holdout. In spite of the fact that my entire family was naked, keeping my shorts on felt like the "right" thing to do. My mom could see I needed a push. While she was helping me sunscreen my back, she casually asked if she could move my shorts out of the way. I said okay.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but she slid them to the ground. I felt exposed and embarrassed. Almost immediately, I got an erection. But, no one was there to mock me. They were all just as naked.

As the day went on, the wall came down. My sister and I started going nude more at home. My underwear drawer was filled with bikinis and thongs. I even started to change and enjoy the facilities at the gym while nude.

Had my mom not given me that little push, I'd never have gotten over the hump and found the pleasure of wearing speedos and thongs.

Has anyone in your life helped you get to where you are today?

When I was very young, my family used to visit a lake front site with a club house, sauna, boats, and pier run by some kind of Scandinavian organization here in the U.S. It was common, IIRC, for very young kids to be running around naked. As I got older, I'd be naked in the sauna only. While she never spoke of it directly, I'd say my mother was open minded and wanted us to be comfortable in our own skin. My father's family was more reserved, but he let my mother have a free hand in raising us.

How old were you when you stopped doing nudity and then restarted doing nudity again?

For me, I like doing nudity but it's normally only when skinny dipping in dams and lakes or I'm at home alone. I'm not sure how it all happened for me, it was partly just growing up with the family like it was for you, but now it was also just what my friends want to do sometimes, so it's kind of a mutual thing, just what us boys do when we're away on a trip or something.

It has never been the 'done thing' in our family. Perhaps something to do with cold weather and even colder old houses! Although even in summer or on the beach nudity was never done.
Now I still prefer minimal clothing on myself and on others. I prefer to see a fit person in a speedo or bikini, or even lycra rather than naked.
I like the feeling of swimming nude and will skinny dip if given the opportunity. Even at the beach once in the water I will slip my speedos off and enjoy that.

I was about 10 when I stopped and 14 when I restarted.

Getting back into nudity was a gradual process. I followed my sister's lead. She started going nude in the bathroom we shared and left her bedroom door open while getting changed. The clothes she wore around the house became progressively more revealing. Things went from there.
