I have a feeling that most of these women actually enjoy being nude. It scares them that they enjoy it. They feel as if "enjoying" something physical like this will get them into trouble with God.
It's like enjoying sex to the fullest. Many were taught that having sex is a job and obligation like having to clean up baby poop. In fact, sometimes I think some women enjoy cleaning up baby poop more than sex the way they talk about it.
But when their bodies are associated with sex, physical passion, ugliness, fear, worry, and weight issues, then it's no wonder they are afraid to even go to bed nude. Why is going to bed nude so troublesome? How do they take baths? They are more exposed taking baths than going to bed! But logic is not a part of this thought pattern.
When you learn to step out in faith and overcome fear, then you have an advantage in your world and able to enfluence the world around you.
Sometimes though, even in our faith and courage, we are sometimes held back by those who's fear is so overwhelming that we have to hold back to keep peace in the family.
You are not weird, just have a different perspective of fear and worry. You even take your pain and sickness in stride and able to get out and do something in spite of it. That takes courage and faith. Scared, frustrated, angry sometimes, yes, but at least your doing something in spite of it.
Naturism is a social release for you. If you were married, would it be different? Yes because you are involving someone more personal, almost "too close" to make these moves as quickly. But again, you may find someone who is the right person for you to help you move into naturism and a more Godly way of life than you are going now. Depends on how God wants to bless you.
Being married does have it's bad points too. But sacrifice is all a part of it and we have to realize that others are making sacrifices for us as well. Such as allowing us to go nude when if we never brought the subject up in the first place, our mates would have never even thought of it, let alone say something about it.
So it's the nudists who are bringing it to the attention of their mates who otherwise would have never even gave it a first glancing thought, let alone a second thought. So our mates, who would never have thought of it, are now having to face it in 3D and learning to bend their brain around it. You on the other hand had the ability to think of it and come to terms with it on your own and with help from people who do not have a personal agenda to get you out there. Yes, we encouraged you and gave you what you needed to step out in faith, but even then, it would not have affected us (as we may know it) if you dropped out of sight and never joined us. So you feel safe to discuss it with us and give it some serious thought.
Those who would never have thought of it is having a harder time with the ones that matter to them most, their mates who seem to be on the loony side compared to what they know.
Now that doesn't mean they will never come around, the may, but slowly. So you are witnessing someone who would have NEVER thought of going nude in the house, let alone in public, actually "walking on water" so to speak. Yes they may enjoy it physically, but mentally, they are still living in the past world of fear and definitions of what is weird.
You are not weird, you are one of us......oh....yeah...well...anyway, you know what I mean!
