How to Tell a Friend Your Parents are Nudists
Although nudism, also known as naturism, hasn't really caught on in the U.S., it's relatively popular around the world. Hundreds of beaches and parks around Europe, Australia and New Zealand support at least a "clothing-optional" philosophy, while many are overwhelmingly "clothing-free." Proponents of naturism encourage newcomers to embrace their bodies, but telling a friend your parents are nudists can be tough. Here are some pointers to smooth out the process.

Be straightforward with your friend. It may buy you some extra time, but beating around the bush only builds up your friend's anticipation and makes your parents' nudism seem weirder than it actually is (or isn't).
-
2
Inform your friend that nudism is more about embracing one's body than about engaging in promiscuous, round-the-clock sexual activity. Your parents don't have to be kinky to be nudists; if they are a bit "adventurous," however, you might consider warning your friend before he visits your home.

3
Help your friend negotiate her religious views when accepting your parents' nudism. If your friend's a Christian, there are a number of helpful Christian nudist websites that bridge the gap between the two seemingly at-odds philosophies.
-
4
Give your friend appropriate details about your parents' nudist practices. For example, you might outline when, where and how frequently they shed their clothes.
-
5
Give your friend a heads-up before inviting him over to your house. Explaining your parents' preference is easy before your friend gets an unexpected eyeful.

It might be easier to tell someone that you're a skinny-dipper rather than nudist or naturist or that you do not like tanlines. I personally do not like sitting around in a soggy wet, sometimes sandy swimsuit. That is definitely unhealthy especially for women.
