In the last couple of years I've become an activist for nudism in our region and |

really thought I had share some stories about how we go about it. Now I have a girlfriend who joins me in promoting nudism and also the lifestyle.

It appears some areas like Boulder Colorado are going backwards instead of forward and this bothers me as it could take up a trend in other cities as these things normally do. I’m 300 miles away on the different side of the state, maybe happily, but I expect a movement will grow to reverse these laws and to educate people concerning the real nature of uncomplicated social nudism. http://nudistsplace.com as a community need to encourage a better image of nudity along with the nudist lifestyle.

Merely for example, here’s that which we’re doing. I started a nudist group here in Colorado called the Grand Junction Naturists,(www.gjnaturists.com) and we do things like we hosted a World Naked Gardening Day within our house this year and we invited the media to cover the occasion if they agreed to present it in a positive light. We made the front page of the local newspaper and were on TV 4 times and all of it was very positive. Next year we plan on hosting it again and again inviting the media to cover it, plus we hope to begin some safe advertising to grow our group and offer free information for those who want to learn about our lifestyle. Our website has a decent number of informative content on it already and we intend to add more including a printable version for them to share it with others in a printed form.

This year my GF and I decided we no longer cared who understands we are nudists, including her employer and fellow co-workers, along with family, and guess what? http://nudismpictures.net had virtually no negative reactions. Some were a little shocked and said they could never do that, but most were curious about why we do it which opens up to the door for all of us to be ambassadors for the lifestyle and to make an effort to encourage them to get over their negative body issues.

And it is working, slowly, a little at a time, but we are having an effect. Here’s some examples. One friend of ours is quite heavy set and was really self conscious of her body and said she could never go nude around others. Nicely over the course of maybe 8 months I gave her reasons why she should not be embarrassed about her body and only slowly let her know about the nudist values and way of life. Finally one day she went to a private commercial hot springs with us and surprised us all by dropping her robe with nothing on.
