How Do I Start Being a Nudist?

When I have conversations with non-nudist I often get a response like “sounds cool but I don’t want people to see my body”, “I am xx (old, over weight, stretch marks…) no one wants to see me” or “I could never go in front of people naked” all the way down to “I don’t even know where to start”.

These are common and have heard them for 20+ years, so if you are curious about it and have said something like this you aren’t alone.

Struggling with Your Mental Health?

Is depression or anxiety (or any other mental health diagnosis) whipping your ass day-in-day-out and you can’t find the motivation you used to have to be productive? Feel like sleeping all day, or not even getting out of bed?

That is okay you aren’t alone. There are millions of people just like you. Some better off, some the same, some way worse. I don’t know your situation, or the entire surroundings of how you feel, but can tell you that I live with major depression and have for the past 15 years or so. I know your feelings.

Empathy and Compassion

Two traits that are missing in common society.

Empathy and Compassion. Two traits that are missing in common society.

Have you ever looked around and wondered what the hell is wrong with our society and people today?

Why is it that people are constantly at each other throats?

Is it because here in America we have been strategically divided into two separate political parties and have been pitted against each other? This is done through the media, our politicians, and from each other.

Pubic Hair: To Shave or Not to Shave

The pubic hair decision that nudist face

Pubic Hair: To Shave or Not to Shave: That is the question

It always appears that pubic hair comes in and out of fashion. Looking back in time you will often see both men and women with full mounds of hair, left to be all natural. However, as time went on shaving bald, or leaving just a small patch or strip became fashionable.

Today, it seems more women are opting for the natural look, or more trimming and less bald skin, and a lot more men are opting for a smooth look. Now this isn’t a blanket statement as it is all personal preference.

Thanksgiving Blessings: Focusing on what you have

Everydaynudist owner/lead blogger Ryan and his beautiful wife Jessica celebrating their 2 year anniversary in November, 2020.

Thanksgiving blessings. This is a blog I felt like writing because, if you are like me, 2020 has left us ungrateful, or at least, distracted from life’s blessings.

Sure everyday I give some thanks for decent health, my family, a roof over my head and food to eat. The standard things most of us take for granted. However, on Thanksgiving I really sat down to reflect on all the things I am grateful to have.

Veteran’s Day Thoughts from a Nudist Veteran

  • The active duty veteran
  • The naked veteran
Two very different Ryan’s on Veterans Day. Ryan, on the right, pictured in uniform during his company change of command at Camp LeJeune NC, circa 2001. On the left, just one paddle that he painted and hand carved, although not fully complete in this picture and upside down.

Veteran’s Day

Happy Veteran’s Day to all veterans who read this, as well as happy belated birthday to our United States Marine readers. Veteran’s day means something different to each veteran and below are some of my thoughts.

As a veteran of the United States Marine Corps I never really got into Veterans Day until I became older. I still struggle at times getting a free meal or a thank you for your service. There are many reasons for this but as I grow older I become more accepting of it…and yes if you want to offer me a free meal I will surely eat it and not argue over it.

The Various Nudist Stages You Will See

The tail of two different nudist: first time vs. experienced

  • First Time Nudist
  • Experienced Nudist

The various nudist stages

This set of pictures so the tail of two worlds. Your first time nudist in front of others, and many time nudist, or if you have done it quite a few times.

It is normal to feel nervous when getting naked in front of strangers, or for some, getting naked around friends and people you know.

Hell, I have been in the nudist world for over 20 years and I still get butterflies when we roll up to a nudist event or resort. But don’t worry it usually goes away pretty quickly and the feeling switches to one of relief and feeling the stress melt.

So if you are putting off trying out a nudist event because you are scared, nervous, our couldn’t to do it, trust me when I say…it really isn’t that bad and believe it or not, no one is waiting on you to walk up and they will hold up a score sign with a number ranging from 1-10.

The various nudist stages

Here is how it will go down, or has for my hundreds of nudist beach, events, and resort attendance:

Sexuality: What Does it Matter to You Anyways?

Sexuality: What Does it Matter to You Anyways?

It seems like more and more the headlines on Yahoo or Google (or any other site) is calling out a person for their sexuality. Whether an actor, politician, athlete or any celebrity for that fact it is like it is some huge ordeal which clouts their ability to perform. I just saw the other day an article about a mayor of a large city that was bisexual, and his wife put it best…is sexuality and what he likes is between me and him and our household. I think this has a lot to with the media campaign to divide us which you can read here

As a bisexual male, yes I am bi, yes I like men and women, I haven’t ever found out what the big deal is. Now 20 years ago, sure it was a big deal as I was pretty young and ignorant in my thoughts. The internet was somewhat newer, and I didn’t know how to navigate around it other than my email and favorite porn sites.  However, the older I grew, the more my mind changed. My sexuality changed.

Nudist Safety Tip: Situational Awareness

Remaining aware of your surroundings can give you just enough time to react faster.

Learn nudist safety tips from Ryan, a Marine Corps veteran, self-defense expert, nudist, and founder/author of Everyday Nudist

Nudist Safety Tip: Situational Awareness

Not only am I a nudist, I also happen to be a Marine Corps veteran, Marine Corps Martial Arts/Close Combat Instructor, taught unarmed self-defense, spent over 9 years in the Anti-Terrorism community, and owned a business teaching self-defense, workplace violence and active shooter response. With all of this experience and knowledge I felt it is vital to share it in a new Nudist Safety Tip Series.

This series will be crafted to provide information that will not only help you in a nudist environment, but your everyday life (especially with the instability of many cities throughout the U.S. and across the globe). Whether in Spokane Washington or Los Angeles California, it is important to have a sold foundation of safety. I would encourage both men and women to read this, and most importantly teenagers so they can establish a solid foundation early.

Violence can occur to anyone at anytime. You are not immune, I am not immune.  Whether at a store or a nudist resort, violence can occur with little to no warning.
