On Being a Full Time Nudist

Ever since I became a nudist at 12, I've wanted to live the rest of my life never putting on a piece of clothing again. And many times I've tried.

But it's not practical.

First of all, you spend a lot of time alone in your house. You can't go to many places without being confronted by someone or the police. And even if you were to live in a nudist colony, you're still mostly confined to the nudist colony.

I convinced myself that it's not possible to live as a full time nudist. Either you find yourself lonely, confined, or you get into confrontation.

There really isn't much freedom in being fully nude. And isn't nudism supposed to be about freedom?

My other blog, "Full Time Lara" explores a concept in which I leave home after graduating high school and travelling across the USA fully nude, with no money, no car, no possessions, no identification, nothing at all. It's actually a work of fiction, but it's based on me, my life growing up as a nudist. I try to write it as if it were the real world, based on what I know.

I like to believe in theory that "Full Time Lara" exposes a way to make it work.

I've mentioned to Carla on numerous occasions that I wish I could live without ever wearing a single item of clothing again. But that's a conflict with her. She loves to design clothes for me, albeit very revealing, provocative, clothing. And I do find it fun and exciting to model them for her in public.

Over the past few months she has suggested that I'm already a full time nudist, that I'm always nude every time I can possibly to do. I only wear clothes when I absolutely have to.

I countered that while she's correct, you cannot really be a full time nudist if you live in an area where you're required to wear clothes some of the time.

So she suggested that I throw away all of my clothes. That is, the clothes that I bought for myself and keep at my house. The only time I would put something on is when she wanted to dress me in something. Otherwise, I would have to find a way to accomplish everything I need to accomplish in the nude.

She hasn't demanded me to do this, only left it to me to think about.

I had put up excuses on why it wouldn't be possible, such as that I would have to drive to her apartment and drive back home nude. To which she answered, "but you've done that many times already, what's your point?"

I've also questioned how I would go grocery shopping, to which she answered that I could go grocery shopping in the nude at this health food store near her apartment, which I've done a few times before (I'll write about this later). She also pointed out that I grow vegetables in a garden at my house.

And what about if I have to go to a doctor or to the hospital for something? To which she said that I could show up at the emergency room fully naked, which they are not going to kick me out since I'm coming in with an emergency need, and will give me something to wear. And as for visiting the doctor, I can still put something on if I absolutely have to.

Living your life fully nude doesn't have to require that I never wear clothes ever again. It's really just a philosophy.

I can go ahead and throw all my clothes away, and try to find as many ways as I can to live a fully nude life, even pushing the limits as far as I can get away with. But if at some point I absolutely must find something to put on, it's not the end of the world. It's not like I stopped being a nudist.

As of this writing, I still have not thrown away clothes. But am left wondering, "Why haven't I?"
