Hi all,
I was refered here by someone from another forum, so...here I am! I'm Kevin, but since it seems that there's at least two of us everywhere I go, I use Kevin P.
I really like what little I've read so far here. I'm a Christian, so I like that being emphasized(did I spell that right?). I also have just this past summer acted on a long-time desire to be a nudist. Now that the fireworks are over here at home, my wife and I are new members at our local nudist campground. She isn't exactly a nudist herself, but she isn't against it, and enjoys the time we spend there. Especially the hot tub.
Speaking of fireworks(actually there weren't any here, we really talked very calmly about each of our wants and fears), we're going to be telling my step-daughters and my parents all this soon, so please pray for us. We'll need it.
Anyway, glad to be here. Hope you feel the same.
God Bless
Kevin P
Hi Kevin P,
Great to have you and hopefully, your wife.
I noticed that couples tend to be opposite in desires sometimes. When one is excited about something, the other is "cool as a cucumber" and wonder what all the excitment is all about.
My wife was not to sure about it at first either, but once she visited a naturist resort for the first time, (mine too), she is hooked. But she still isn't as "excited" about it as I am. She has yet to post to this site....well, she might have once about two years ago, but not sure.
She does respect my desire for naturism, and supports it to the point where she almost encourages it. But keep in mind, it didn't happen over night.
Have you two prayed together about it? Acknowledge to God that you are concerned, that you may be wrong in your approach (I'm not saying you are, just acknowledge truthfully) and make sure your wife (or husband for some female readers here) is aware fully that you are truely concerned for their fears and uncertainty. Your marriage is far more important than naturism.
But I am glad to see that she is getting comfortable. Make sure that you are making friends with the kind of naturist people she would be comfortable with. Also make sure you do LOTS of stuff she likes even though you may not like them.
Again, welcome and you have a lot of support here,
It's nice that you've come here. We need new members for their input. It's interesting that someone else referred you. That is great for Boyd's site.
Consider this an invite to 'The Missus' to mosey, meander, amble, and otherwise read as many posts as she wants. Especially, get her to read the posts by Becky and Sue. These young Ladies have 'sailed' into Nudism concerns affecting them and their families. They have worked through many of these concerns. They can, and I trust, will help your wife. They may even create a "Ladies' Support Group'.
I have no idea about your stepdaughters' ages. They may want to read Jen's, Meg's posts and those about the twins. It might help them. See below about The Missus's
supporting you. Here, she may be the one to lead with your sitting by her side.
As to your Parents, again, no idea of their ages. I am 58. Be very careful in the way you approach them. Any support that your wife can give will be immensely valuable. Her just sitting quietly by you will speak volumes.
I would say, "Good Luck". For Christians, there isn't even coincidence. When your Spirit and "Mrs. Kevin P."' Spirit agree, it ain't likely that y'all would get lost.
Hope that I didn't muddy the waters too much.
At least, you and your Lady are this close and can hopefully progress further in Christian Nudism. There are several of us here who don't have that luxury. Carefully nuture your "investment" and grand gardens of Love and nude friendship will blossom.
Kevin P., whatever, GOD sent you this way. Visit and help us.
Hey guys,
Thanks for the warm welcome, and special thanks to Bearone for recommending the site. I took the advice to go back and read the posts from/about Becky and Sue Mother of Twins and their respective families. Also read Jen's. Man, that took awhile. It's so great to me to see Christian families so open and willing regarding nudity. I wish mine had been, or were for that matter. Everyone here talks like family, and I especially enjoyed Jen having a new brother and sister. They all seem to be very mature, responsible young Christians. They and their families are all awesome!
As far as the age of my step-daughters, they are both grown with husbands(one ex) of their own. I even have one eight year old grandson(at thirty-three!). I really don't know how they feel about nudity, this will be the first time I haven't kept my feelings to myself on the subject. I think it will just be alot of the "MOM!!!" factor.
My parents are another matter entirely. They have always been a bit, well, I don't want to say closed-minded, about nudity, but that's probably closest. I don't think that they will take it well.
Anyway, I'm very, very impressed with what I've seen here so far. Everybody keep on loving each other. We all need support. I know I do.
Oh! One last thing, just a stupid question: How do you do the thing with the smiley faces? I love that.
Sorry for rambling on for so long.
Take Care and God Bless!
Kevin P
