Nudism with a non-nudist partner
How many of you used to live a nudist lifestyle while living alone but had to (or felt like you had to) give it up when you started living with your partner?
I was one of those. I spent a good 20 years living alone, and I only wore clothes at home when it was just too cold. For reference, I live in the U.S., and social nudity is not something I grew up with.
Then I met my current partner. The topic of nudism came up early in our relationship, but she just isn’t comfortable without clothing in any setting except for intimate encounters. I recall some comment that led me to believe that she wouldn’t like to see me naked other than when we were going to have sex.
When we decided to move in together, I dreaded the hot summers (southeastern U.S.) since it meant that I wouldn’t be comfortable. Sure enough, the first few summers were miserable.
Then, after a particularly hot day of working outside, I stripped in our bedroom before heading into the shower room to wash off. She joked about liking it, so I jumped on the opportunity; “I would be naked all the time if you didn’t mind.” Her reply shocked me: “Sure – whatever makes you comfortable.”
With that, I stayed naked after the shower. But I wanted to check one more time. “If you really don’t mind, I’m going to stay naked whenever it’s hot, just like I used to when I lived by myself.” She said, “That’s totally fine with me. Just make sure you put something down before you sit.” “Oh, of course,” I said. I explained that having a sitting towel ready was second nature to me, having lived the lifestyle for so many years prior to our cohabitation.
And now I’m comfortable all the time! I still try to be respectful by not drawing attention to my penis, but receiving a playful spank is not an uncommon occurrence.
So, if you are in the position that I was in, try bringing it up again (if it’s been a while) in a polite manner. Similarly, if nudism is important to you, make sure that it’s known early in a relationship, especially before moving in together!
