Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting here, and I'm more than happy to introduce myself!

I am 18 years old and in my first year of college. I have visited this website on several occasions to show some of my friends info on the naturist lifestyle as it ties in with religion. I have been a enjoying it for about 3 years now. My family does not wish to practice themselves, yet do not find it objectionable. The same goes with my friends. It's really a great feeling to have their acceptance and support, as this is a lifestlye that I have grown to love and feel very much a part of.

I have a naturist-related website of my own and had an article published a little over a year ago in a Canadian magazine, if anyone is interesed let me know. Feel free to cantact me anytime - I hope to get to know everyone over time!

Welcome in, Josh.

So, what's your web site URL?

Where are you in Canada? I've spent some time in Sarnia during my working years. Also went on business trips to Edmonton and skiing trips to Montreal and visited museums and ski areas between Sarnia and the capital. Took the snow train north of the Seaux.

I am glad to hear of more young people joining the group here! Glad to have you on board!

You said that your friends and family are not objectionable to your naturist lifestyle, but do they also allow you your freedom around them?

If so, that is even better! I have friends that know and are not against us being naturists, but didn't open the doors for us to be ourselves around them.

We are glad you posted here. Could you also post your link here so we can see it too?...thanks.

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed me, I really appreciate it!

Ralph, I don't live in Canada. I'm from the States, but Michigan to be more percise. I have lived here all my life. The article I hap published however was for a Canadian magazine called "Going Natural".

The link to my webpage for young naturists is:
www.youthnaturally.net The link to my article can be found thereon the "about us" page. Oppinions or suggestions are welcome!

And to Boyd, you are correct that it is really great that my friends and family are supportive. Most members in my family don't have issues with me being nude in their presence, but I stay clothed around my non-nudist friends to guarentee thier comfort.

Especially the V'ball one.

I'm planning to bushhog a volleyball spot down below among the wingstem plants on my property along the creek. Doubt it'll ever be a nude match. Best I can hope for is bikinis.

Ralph

Great start on your website. Looking forward to seeing it grow, especially with new friends coming on board.

It took a while to get my site up and running properly. Rebuilt it three times. And I still need to do some more work on it. But I'll leave that for another time since it is working well.

What I am finding exciting right now is the growth this board has gotten in the past few months. And this is after 4+ years. So hang in there, continue your work. Keep it clean, respectable, inviting and don't let it sit alone. I see many sites out there that I know that has been abandoned by their owners. You can't change the world by yourself, but together, we can change quite a few peoples minds about their bodies and each other.

Your friends could probably use a good dose of dropping in on you and you are still nude.

I too am from Michigan, as you may guess from the screen name (U.P.). Are you from Northern, southern, or mid Michigan? It is good to see someone else from Michigan on this board.

I often visit this site, but have rarely posted. To Boyd, thanks for keeping this site going. It has provided some good conversation with my wife.

I hope the conversation is really "good" as you say! Are you helping your wife towards naturism?

BTW, I have a brother in Wisconsin as well...not naturist though. (Sheboygan)

Boyd

I have lived in the Detroit area for my entire life... or all 18 years of it!
