What if I m ready but my spouse (partner, or friend) isn t?
This is common. Typically, women are more wary than men of clothing-optional venues. But everyone, male and female, has “body issues.” For some, the idea of being seen nude and seeing others nude is filled with psychological tension. A spouse, friend or partner can help reduce the tension, but only if caution and sensitivity are exercised. Remember, every naturist had a “first time.” Many who were most reluctant initially are now avid naturists. And remember, too, that there is a line between encouragement and coercion. Don t cross it if you want to introduce someone to naturism.
