When did I have my first naturist experience? I think, it began when I was very little. I was a fun loving kid, and I enjoyed skinny-dipping. I remember sneaking into in the public pool at night. We would climb the fence. I often found rivers and lakes to be fun skinny-dipping adventures.
I can remember sunbathing in the nude every once in awhile. When I was a teenager, a bunch of guys, (all LDS) went to Lake Powell for a week. We found a secluded spot, made camp, and lived naked for the entire week. It was a water-skiing trip so we filled our time with skinny-skiing adventures. It was great fun. We still laugh about it.
Here in Utah, we have a cabin up in Midway. It is within a mile or so from the "hot stream". My family and I are frequent visitors. I have a backyard sauna with a cold plunge and I use it several times a week. I am a sculptor, and will sometimes employ a nude model to pose. Other than that, when traveling, I will go to the beach or lake and shed the clothes and take a plunge or lounge in the sun.
I am often teased for my casualness.
I don't mind. My wife has joined me from time to time. We have
talked about going on cruises or to clothing-optional places. Maybe
one day we will actually go for it.
