I was 17 when I first became curious about how it felt like to be nude in my room. I don't know exactly why but I thought I would be more comfortable if I took off my underwear, so I did. It felt weird at first, for a while I was self conscience of my body. Not because anything was wrong, just because I had never been nude in my room before I guess. I got over the awkwardness (self-consciousness) and it felt nice.

When I was 18 a senior in high school I was on the cross country team. We ran about a mile or so from a nude beach (Blacks). People joked about running there, but no one actually did.

One day on a run by myself I ran near there and decide to run to the nude beach. I made it there and saw the nude people. At this point I was curious as to what it was like to be nude on the beach, why these people did it. I ran to a sort of isolated part of the beach (only a few people around me and were not that close.) I took off my shoes, socks, and t shirt. I sat there for 10-20 min. I then was relaxed and comfortable enough to say to my self I want to get nude and see what it feels like.

So off came my shorts and underwear! I sat there nude for a min. or two then stood up. I'll never forget that moment. What I felt I can only describe as the most awesome sense of freedom I have ever felt in my entire life! I felt so fee and alive! It was simply awesome to be nude outside in the fresh air and sun! It felt great... so comfortable I then ran into the ocean and swam. It felt so nice to swim without an suit I loved that experience and wanted to do it again.

After that I went back to blacks several more times. I also went to other nudist beaches; San Onfre, (45 min north of blacks), and More Mesa in Santa Barbra. San Onfre is nice, its more secluded than blacks with less gawkers. I went to college in Santa Barbra and I discovered More Mesa. This is a wonderful beach! Verry private and secluded. I went to UCSB in Santa Barbra and saw signs for models wanted for art class. I signed up and posed nude for the art class. It was no big deal for me and it was fun. It was neat to see how each artist painted me in their own way. My mom noticed the check from the art school and asked me about it in front of the family. I told her the truth, they all just laughed and gave me a hard time about it but were not offended or mad or anything so it was cool.

Since that time, I have been to two nudist resorts in CA. I had a really nice time in both resorts. The people there were very friendly and made me feel welcome there. It was very relaxing and fun to spend the day nude swimming, eating, sunning, meeting new people etc. Most of the people were older (30's-60;s) but I enjoyed myself anyway. Its cool though to see all the young people involved with nudism in this group.

Nowadays I go nude in my room almost always. I also go nude at the local nudist beach (Haulover). This is my favorite nudist beach. Its very easy to get to, there are people of all ages, and they sell drinks and hot dogs on the beach Plus the water is always warm (87 now) and so is the weather. I love going nude whenever possible, its very comfortable, feels great and life is more fun in the nude!
