First Introduction to Naturism
"Of the very first exposure I can't remember anything. However, I can imagine that it was determined then that my father had been given a progenitor.
First Step to Naturism Together
Years, many years later I had a friend who, like me, liked to save on laundry when it was warm enough. This went smoothly since we lived very high up and there were no other high-rise buildings in the immediate vicinity. So we were also able to spend many an hour together on our roof terrace. Without rubbing wet clothes when perspiring and without the annoying pressure of elastic on the skin, we wondered if this was not the way to spend the vacations together. However, we did realize that there was something more involved at the moment of going among people completely without clothes. I myself suggested something more like fear of rebellious masculinity. With some sadistic pleasure, my friend thought it would be nice if I had to reach for a towel with the redness of my cheeks.
Orientation to Naturism
We bought books and oriented ourselves on the Internet. At first we looked more for general matters and what the rules of conduct were. Soon we noticed that there is also an incomprehensible taboo on nudism and naturism, in short, people don't talk so openly about walking naked. So how to find a good location where we could spend our first bare vacation?
Vacations and the Choice of Flevo-Nature
We had quite a few notes on our singing. Although singing? With my singing skills I can empty any room in no time. My girlfriend absolutely did not want to go camping, a tent did not seem like anything to her. Although I used to do it a lot during the weekends, now that I am older, crawling into a tent didn't seem very attractive to me either. So a cottage. But I also wanted a vacation, so I didn't have to cook my own meals every day and still had fresh rolls for breakfast. It seemed to us that you don't go on a bare vacation to dress your characters again to go somewhere to eat or get sandwiches and spreads. So a good restaurant, a terrace for a cup of coffee and possibly a snack bar, a store for sandwiches, toppings and something to nibble in the evening were our conditions. As well as a swimming pool, not to mention peace and quiet and friendly people. All this we found, according to the internet site, at Flevo-Nature. We were going to give it a try!
First Bare Step
House picked out, vacation arranged and suitcases packed when the time came. Unlike other vacations, the latter was nice and easy, taking little more than a toothbrush and a comb. Suddenly we were at a naturist campsite! All excess clothing could go into the closet for now and the moment of truth arrived. I must confess that I was quite nervous when I first left the door of our chalet and I felt my friend's hand trembling in my hand. Luckily we had our hygiene towels with us so we could still hide a bit just in case.
A New World of Freedom
But that moment didn't come. Never. Our neighbors greeted us kindly as we walked by and the first feeling was one of freedom. No pinching clothes, no elastic around your waist and no one judging you for what you have on. The sun and wind reach every part of your body and everyone sees everything but doesn't look. In our opinion, we stood out for only one reason. Many people were apparently real sun worshippers and therefore a walking advertisement for tanning beds and the like. We stood out from them rather pale. To our relief, however, we were not the only ones. So we approached the lively center of the campground with its restaurant, swimming pools and saunas. Everyone seemed to greet us. All the people were naked just like us. Cheerfully playing children enlivened the surroundings and we took a seat on the terrace for a small snack and a drink. It was as if we had always been here and my friend and I looked at each other with a look of "why haven't we done this before? We retained this feeling throughout the vacation and have since repeated it many times."

Naturist Story 2: "It started with a cup of coffee at Flevo-Nature"
"My very first time coming to Flevo-Nature is just over 30 years ago. I was about 21 years old and working in a supermarket in North Holland. We still did some sunbathing on beaches and designated little beaches, but nothing more than that. Until a colleague of my husband's invited us for a nice cup of coffee. At first I didn't like it, imagine running into someone I knew. According to my husband that wouldn't be so bad. A bit uncomfortably I took off my clothes in the parking lot and we walked right into the parking lot. My cheeks were still a little red because it was exciting. After a short walk I heard my name. And yes, hey Coby you are here too, this was a customer of the supermarket where I worked. Made small talk and still said to my husband, well he sees me no longer normal behind the checkout. Before we reached the chalet of my husband's colleague, we met another acquaintance. We had a very pleasant day. Since then we came to the campsite with the caravan, and in the meantime our children, in spring or autumn. In the high season we went abroad, until the children no longer came with us on vacation and we came to Flevo-Nature for a season. We liked that so much, every weekend a mini vacation, as soon as you came through the gate you felt the peace. We now have a mobile home and can be found here on our days off. Our children still come to visit and the grandchildren swim here in the pool where our children also swam. The circus has become an annual family day out."

Naturist Story 3: "Where a visit to the sauna might lead."
"The first time naked was about 3 years ago. My wife had entrance vouchers from the Veluwse Bron, the weather was nice that week and she said, come we'll go tomorrow and I said neeeeeeee I'll only go on swimwear day (I grew up rather prudish). Finally after much insistence from my wife I went anyway. The agreement was to watch it for 10 minutes and if I didn't feel comfortable we would leave. My wife immediately threw down her towel and went into the pool and I looked around me, lots of naked people. I carefully took off the towel and hoopla there I went. That same year we ended up at Flevo-Nature with our camper van. What a delight, just naked! I notice that at home I am naked more often, I feel free and at Flevo-Nature I feel great! I am now 56 years old and I wonder, why didn't I go naked sooner! I am grateful to my wife for taking the time to teach me about being naked..."

Naturist Story 4: "Everyone needs a monsieur Francois"
A First Step in Naturism
"Everyone needs a monsieur Francois. That first time naturist traveling, for us it was about 30 years ago when naturism was less negotiable as it is now. Of course we walked naked at home when the weather allowed it and went to the sauna regularly, but an entire vacation naked like that to a campsite we really didn't know what that would be like and to be honest 30 years ago it was a little hurdle we had to cross.
Arrival at the Campsite
Car loaded with more kids than clothes and night drive to La grande cosse which was then a naturist campsite in the Camargue in France . Would we get to see those wild horses that still roam there? ... what would it be like to sleep in a rented mobile home like that? ... Will those people at the reception stand there naked when we arrive? ... would everyone there really walk around naked all day? ... there's a little store in the campground ... where do we put our wallets? Such nocturnal musings do you recognize?
First Encounter with Naturists
At the reception, the owners were summer dressed, warm and friendly. "Come I show you your stay, just follow me" he said in French as he jumped on a little bicycle. We behind it with the car. Game of jeux de boules.... everybody naked, volleyball playing ladies ... yep naked, male on bike ... towel between saddle and bare bottom, everybody naked!
Introduction to the Vacation Spot
And then there you are, turning around your stay for the next two weeks, neat campsite with a tiny caravan diagonally opposite us with a landscaped garden; palm trees, yucas, melons and geraniums you can clearly see that these people have made this their home. Should we empty the car first or is now the time for us to ... ? "Come kiddies clothes off, it's always good weather here and you can walk naked here!" And there we stood with our little family, ready to step over that threshold. "Votre première fois naturiste?" greeted a tanned male head above the garden hedge of the little caravan. "Oui monsieur." "Prends ton temps, à l'aise!"
A Surprising Encounter
Car empty, installed in our mobile home, everyone naked, the children who were not at all tainted by any social image playing unabashedly and us looking around somewhat uncomfortably on our towel at the garden table. Out of the caravan with its little garden stepped the tanned man's head over the geraniums with half a French loaf of bread under his armpit, a bottle of wine in one hand and a lump of cheese in the other. I remember thinking at the time that this was not really mother's most beautiful son and perhaps the ugliest man I had ever seen: hunched over, hunchback, tanned skin like a sun-dried tomato and only a few teeth. He plops himself down on his towel with us at our table ... "Bonjour je suis Monsieur Francois." We drank wine, ate bread and cheese while talking about naturism, equality, freedom, life ... and also about his wife who died three years ago but whom he still talked to every day. We never saw monsieur Francois again after that vacation but he was by far one of the most beautiful people we ever met ! We wish every novice, shy or doubting naturist someone who will make it easier to cross that threshold ... a Monsieur Francois of their own so to speak. If we can help anyone in this regard ... be welcome to this."

Naturist Story 5: "You are accepted as you are"
"It's been a few years now, my husband had been to the sauna before and loved it. Every time he asked if I wanted to go with him but I was always put off. The idea of walking around naked with everyone watching, no, not for me. But I wanted to know what was so great about being naked, because my husband went to the sauna every time and said I should try it too. At one point I said I would go with him, but if I didn't feel comfortable or had the idea that there were men peeping in, I would leave. So I agreed to go along and it was exciting. Very carefully I went inside and took off my robe and looked around to see if everyone was watching. But NO one was looking they said hello and everyone went his way in the sauna. Soon I found it quite pleasant. And so we also went to Flevo-Nature for day recreation. Once we parked the car, my husband immediately took off his clothes. No that is allowed here, he had asked and so I went in naked from the parking lot. It felt a little strange at first but everyone said hello and just walked around naked. Yes, it was really nice to spend a whole day at Flevo-Nature. Sitting on the terrace and you know, NO one is looking at anyone else. No it doesn't matter if you are fat, thin or have a handicap, you are accepted as you are, really great to experience. So you see there are a whole different kind of people coming here than we usually encounter at home. It would be nice if there were more people everywhere with the same mentality as here at Flevo-Nature. In May this year we rented a cottage for the first time for a week and now in September we rented the same cottage again for 3 weeks and then we will come again this year for another week. So yes walking naked has been great for me and hope to come back here more often."

Naturist story 6: "A bike route to a nude beach"
"My first time exposed. Years ago, I always drove routes from the ANWB. I was looking for a route near Groningen. Then I saw that there was a naked beach there. I filled my bag and drove there. When I arrived I was a bit tense, but I kept going. When I arrived at the beach I immediately stripped off my clothes and sat down. First I rubbed up and ate something. I thought they would look at me, but that turned out not to be the case. And that was nice .After 15 minutes I felt like a fish in the water. Met a woman later and told her I sometimes went to a nude beach. This was strange for her. First we went to a sauna, then we went to Flevo-Nature. She enjoyed camping naked like that. Now we both enjoy naturism. We bought a house together on the space. We have this completely fenced in and can enjoy being naked in our own garden. And of course the nude camping 's Also we have been members of the nfn for years."

Naturist story 7: "Bare on the wrong beach"
"The First Time Bare - What Counts as First Time?
Yes, what is the first time naked and when does that count? I've been to the sauna before and although that step felt like a big one, I've really been a fan of a daytime sauna for years. Whereas before I only went around five o'clock and only in the fall and winter, otherwise it was still too light, now I prefer to go as early as possible and not go home until late in the evening. So being naked is no longer strange. And so was my Flevo-Nature adventure "my first time naked"? I think so, because that's how it felt. I would like to take you through my story of how I ended up here.
The Choice of Naturism
This year we were supposed to go to Italy, but because of the Corona decided not to do so. We go to Zeeland fairly often to dive and so we went there on vacation. Friends of ours were also there and they regularly go to nude beaches and sometimes naturist campsites. Respect for a everyone who does that, but no that's nothing for us. "I'm not going to drive pegs into the ground in my bare butt" is the first thing my husband says. So how did we end up at Flevo-Nature?
A New Experience - The First Time at the Campsite
It started this year with the nude beach which did sound attractive so quiet and nice tan everywhere. Well crazy year, so let's do crazy we go too. Once there, all the people were still wearing clothes, so I felt anything but comfortable taking everything off. Then we just climbed safely into the dunes and waited there for our friends who arrived later and laughed really hard. Because of the wrong sign at the beginning of the beach we had not walked far enough so we were not really at the FKK part yet. Anyway, we had a wonderful day and liked it very much. Due to the perfect summer so we didn't miss Italy at least we did several times. Even our oldest son of 16 went with us. For him it was definitely a 1st time exposure story.
The First Time at Flevo-Nature
Touched by this wonderful feeling of freedom, we thought we should try one of these campsites. And once home and still a very hot week we booked the campsite after the first week of work to stay in the vacation mood seemed a good plan. Unfortunately it didn't work out for a weekend, but hey, just to try it for one night. But that really feels like a first time exposed. Arriving at the reception and seeing someone standing inside naked. Ok uhm yes that's how it goes here really everything is naked. We were too early and could not immediately go to our spot. "You can already explore the campsite," we were told. Sitting on the bench looking at all the papers we didn't think that was a good idea, because do you do that naked?
A Distinctive Experience
Meanwhile we saw the naked people passing by with garbage bags. Walking, on bicycles, on scooters, wearing wraparound scarves and so on, we observed everything from what is possible and what is allowed or what is not we had no idea. It all still felt very strange. At some point we got talking to people in the queue for the reception, including a man in clothes and so it turned out that he was the man of our spot so we could go to our place. My husband called out in the car: "I'm not going to put up the awning in my bare bottom. We drove carefully to our spot and put everything up. I had to go to the bathroom and walked there and thought, well, come on. And so I went to the toilet dressed and came out naked.
A New World - First Time in the Pool
Why does that feel so different from the sauna? I don't really know, but it definitely feels like a first time naked. Everything is new and exciting walking to the pool, how are we going to do it, wearing something or naked? Having a drink on the terrace same dilemma. All in all we did everything naked anyway. After all, it was the weather for it. Only in the morning while getting sandwiches I decide to put on a dress. I didn't like the idea of being naked in the store. The people who do and walk around there at the same time I don't find strange, but for myself a step too far, but that leaves a "first time naked" for my list haha. In the end I can conclude that this was definitely not the last time naked, because even though it was only 1 night and therefore very short and also fell apart due to a huge downpour in the evening, which caused the restaurant to run into problems and our food could not be made and so we dined with syrup waffles and chips (apparently there is a first time for everything;) we have decided that we definitely think this is worth repeating."

Naturist Story 8: "Im Krankenhaus"
"Ich musste nicht lange überlegen, mein erstes Nackterlebnis hatte ich bereits vor 60 Jahren, allerdings nicht bei Flevonatuur, sondern im Krankenhaus. Denn ich bin tatsächlich bei meiner Geburt nackt auf die Welt gekommen. Man hat mich aber dann sehr schnell in Bekleidung gesteckt. Heutzutage freue ich mich jedes Jahr auf den Sommerurlaub in Flevonatuur. Das ist Urlaub in völliger Freiheit, einfach nur genießen und puures Leben."

Naturist story 9: "A naked mother-in-law"
"My first experience 34 years ago naked was at a campsite in Croatia with my in-laws. I went nude there for the first time and it was a pleasant experience. What I had to get used to then was my naked mother-in-law. After a while that also got better and to this day I am happy that I can still enjoy naturism partly because of my naked mother-in-law."

Naturist Story 10: "For us, nothing beats nude recreation"
The First Time Naked - At the "Well of Reef"
"That was years ago, some 34 years ago, at the "well of reef". Along the A58 near Gilze/Tilburg, in the area Wijkevoort. An excavation that a few years later was given back to nature as a breeding area for birds. 34 years ago I met my current wife, and she already had some experience with nude recreation. Because you could and did recreate naked at the excavation at the time, we went there together.
The First Step in Bare Recreation
The first day, having gathered all my courage, I went alone. The first few minutes were quite exciting because suppose you run into an acquaintance or what will others think when they see me in my nude. At home or the people I used to hang out with were not nude runners as far as I knew. Later I found out that there were some who did, but with whom I had never spoken openly until then.
The Unveiling of Nakedness
I had put a beach towel on the ground and after 15 minutes of sitting in my clothes on the shore in a sheltered spot it became very hot, it was summer. Very carefully and timidly I stripped off my clothes while sitting down and put them on a pile to lie down on my belly as quickly as possible, because just imagine that someone would see my dick, I thought. I had already noticed that the people present did not look up or down at how I looked. It all seemed so ordinary as if it was so all days normal to walk around naked. People of all ages, young and old, with and without children, were all walking around naked or lying on their towel. It all looked peaceful and relaxed, well at that moment for me it wasn't.
From Shyness to Freedom
But unfortunately for me, I couldn't stay on my stomach all day. I would burn alive, so there came a time when I had to get down on my back. After lying like that for several minutes, people came walking by, but I noticed that they greeted me and otherwise didn't really look at me. As if they had seen me there before. After seeing even more people who also paid no attention to me, I let some trepidation fall off me and actually dared to stand up and look around the excavation. It was quite crowded on the stretch of nude beach.
End of an Era - Back to Nature
After several years, unfortunately, this lake was closed for recreational use and was returned to nature with the intention of turning it into a bird breeding ground. Now, anno 2020, they want to involve this area with a new industrial area Wijkevoort. So we had to look for another place to sunbathe naked and ended up at Engelenmeer and Flevo-Nature.
A Place for Nude Recreation - Flevo-Nature
We have been coming to Flevo-Nature for over 30 years, once or twice a year, for a week of vacation. We have seen the park grow into what it is today, a naturist park where you can have a wonderful recreation. You can rent/buy a cottage or rent a pitch with your caravan, tent or camper for a week or longer, even a year pitch.
The Heart of Brabant
About a year ago we joined naturist association Hart van Brabant in Tilburg, which we like very much. Here, too, we meet people we didn't know before that also recreated naked. So you see, for us nothing beats nude recreation."

Naturist Story 11: "That visit was not planned..."
Thomas: "Tell me, Linda... About your first time in the nude. Fun, exciting, took some getting used to or immediately very common? Linda: Haha, embarrassing rather... It was in 1986. Jan and I had bought a house in Heerhugowaard and how happy we were with it. It had been built in 1972, so fortunately there was already a pretty dense garden; not a bare lot that you had to plant yourself in the case of new construction. You could hear the neighbors to the left, right and across from us from time to time, but you had to make quite an effort to catch a glimpse of them between the bushes and wooden fences if you wanted to. I had never really come into contact with naturism. Jan did once in France, he said. And accidentally, wrong campsite, if I had to believe him, but there was no photo evidence of that, haha! Neighbors could be seen from our upstairs bedroom window and Jan enthusiastically reported after a few weeks on a sunny Saturday afternoon that neighbor Annet, to our left, was just sitting topless in the garden. He found this extremely interesting, yes, and immediately tried to persuade me to follow her example. At that moment, probably due to my lack of understanding and rather prudish upbringing, I didn't feel like it at all. My head just wasn't in it and because Jan kept nagging and insisting I got irritated and we even got into words! Early the next morning, Sunday , Jan went to play tennis. He had been a member of the local club for a few weeks and often talked enthusiastically about people he met there. I stayed another half hour snoozing in bed. When I got up and opened the curtain I saw that the sun was already shining brightly and yes, neighbor Annet was already sitting pontifically at the coffee again wearing only bikini bottoms. I took a shower and walked downstairs in my robe to make coffee. With my cup of coffee I sat down in the garden chair. Parasol open, but soon my bathrobe proved a bit warm. I walked softly through the garden, peeked and listened hypocritically on both sides and found that except for Annet, whom I couldn't even see because of the fence, there were no neighbors further outside. Dead silence everywhere. Lovely! The perfect opportunity to give it a try; so I took the sunburn inside and took off the bathrobe. I flattened the garden chair a bit and enjoyed the sun on my body. I suddenly thought it would be nice to surprise Jan like this when he came back. No topless, as he had been complaining about the day before, but my whole life exposed. I would show him that I had the guts to do this and make it clear that I was the one who decided whether or not I felt like it. Well... it was warm and very quiet. And languidly I fell asleep. Fortunately I had put on a good suntan lotion, but it was less fun that fifteen minutes later I did not hear Jan come back from tennis and say to three club members: "Ha, coffee has been made. I'll check upstairs to see if Linda is presentable yet. Run along to the garden..."

Naturist Story 12: "(Parents-in-law) conceal naturist vacation address"
"The story of the first time we came in contact with naturism goes back to 1986. We were married that year on June 6 and decided to spend our honeymoon in Spain at Camping Estartit in L' Estartit on the Costa Brava. My bride had spent her childhood there with her parents during the vacations, for me it was the first time I would visit Spain. My parents with whom I had not been on vacation together for several years were also going to Spain. They had told us that their destination was Camping Relax in Mont-Ras / Palafrugell, about 40 kilometers from where we were staying. On the 2nd day of our vacation we decided to pay my parents a visit, so with the road map on our lap we set off. When we found the campground, we parked in front of the gate and were approached by a family who asked if we knew what time the bus to Palamos left, since their car had broken down and was parked in a garage. I said that I didn't know either because it was the first time I had been there. When they asked us where we were from, they told us that they were in the Relax-Nat naturist camp and that two days ago a couple had arrived from our home town. Immediately we realized that they were my parents who, by the way, had never been to a naturist camp before, but now that none of the children were going with them they wanted to try it. So we went to the naturist camp a little further away. When we found them there my mother had dared to take off her clothes after 2 days and there we were, the son and the brand new daughter-in-law. After about 2 hours we drove back to our campsite, but the desire to go naturist camping was there too. So the next day we put up our little tent and went to Relax-Nat. When we got there, my parents were not at the campsite, so we set up everything and then went to the showers. At that moment they just drove in with the car and my mother had seen us, when she told my father that we were there he was so bewildered that he even drove past his own caravan and didn't remember his place. From then on we have been naturists and have been to Relax-nat more than 30 times. We also visit Flevo-Nature several times a year and have been since 1989. And we still like it here just fine."

Naturist story 13: "Giving in to naturism"
A Surprising Invitation to the Sauna
"My first nude experience began with my new girlfriend's request. We had known each other for 4.5 years now and were in a LAT relationship. About a year after we first met, she suggested we go to the sauna together. At first I didn't like that at all, it didn't seem like something for me. But the next day I started thinking about it. Why was I so adamant that I absolutely did not want to go to the sauna?
Three Objections to the Sauna
I could think of three reasons why it might bother me. First, the idea of being naked among strangers was completely new to me and made me wince. Second, I am not a person who likes to sit still. I am active and have a hard time giving myself the peace and quiet to do nothing for a while. Third, the climate, the heat, the humidity, the temperature - none of that appealed to me. I like fresh air and am not into extremes. But especially that being exposed, that kept me busy. Was there perhaps a way to discover what that would be like without bothering others with it? And without risking running into someone I knew?
A Solitary Adventure in Nature
That summer I went out on my own for two weeks. I was visiting my parents, who always enjoy the beautiful weather all summer in Hungary. I had my canoe with me, the car full of camping gear, and headed for Hungary. On the way, I made a stop at a campsite in Austria on a beautiful reservoir in the mountains to canoe for two days.
The Discovery in Nature - Bare in Remote Nature
The campground was cozy, and the scenery was breathtaking. One morning, after making some sandwiches and packing my canoe, I went out on the water. The reservoir was long, surrounded by beautiful forests and rock formations. It was truly phenomenal. At one point I came to a small river that flowed into the lake, actually more of a creek. But it was deep enough to cruise upstream, so I did. The scenery became more and more beautiful, and at the same time I found myself in completely remote places. It became shallower, and I could no longer paddle. But I wanted to continue, so I decided to walk through the water while dragging my canoe behind me with a rope. The canoe almost seemed to just follow me, it took no strength, and I was enchanted by the scenery. Suddenly I thought that if I wanted to know what it would be like to be naked, just out in nature, this might be the place to try it.
A First Step into Natural Nudity
I dragged my canoe ashore and decided to walk further through the water first to see if there were people anywhere. At least there was no one behind me, since I had been in secluded territory for some time. When I was sure no one would be bothered by my "foray" into naturism, I took off my clothes. My heart was pounding in my throat. Although I knew it was impossible for anyone to see me here, I still felt watched. But that lasted only for a moment. The sun shone on my bare body, and a lovely breeze between the trees made me feel what it was like to be completely free, freed from all my clothes, as I walked through a stream. No more warm, clammy pants, just me and me alone. I felt really great. I stayed there for an hour or two, just enjoying the nature around me, the babbling water, the birds, everything. I even took some pictures. My black pants were hanging from a branch in a tree above my canoe. Finally, the time came when I had to move on again. I wanted to canoe another stretch. With some reluctance I put my clothes back on, but now I knew, "I like this." Now I was eager to go one step further and discover if this feeling would still be nice if I put myself among people who also like this.
A Bold Plan and a Surprise for the Friend
And so a plan was born. My parents live quite close to Lake Balaton in Hungary, just a half-hour drive away. That night after my wonderful naked experience, I had secretly checked to see if there might be a naturist campsite at the lake. And yep! There was a naturist campsite 25 kilometers away from the point where I wanted to enter the water. I was sure I wanted to go there.
An Unforgettable Arrival at the Naturist Campground
My parents brought me to the town of "Siofok" with my canoe. I had told them that I was going to "a" campsite across the lake for a few nights. So they knew nothing about it. I had my complete camping equipment in my canoe and left. It was bloody hot, there was not a breath of wind, and 25 kilometers was pretty far. But after about five hours of paddling, I was very close to the campsite in question. All I had to do was sail around the pier and I would be there. As I sailed around the pier, my heart began to beat faster. I found this very exciting. The first glances I saw told me right away that I was in the right place. I recognized the typical camping scene, the only difference being that everyone was naked. While still in my canoe, I took off my swim trunks. Then I paddled to the lake shore and dragged my canoe ashore. I put wheels under my canoe and then walked with my canoe in hand, naked among the merry vacation crowds. I felt strange... But after only two minutes, I realized that I was the only one in the entire campground who felt strange. And as soon as I realized that, that strange feeling disappeared and I felt wonderful. It was like being in the stream at the reservoir.
A Warm Welcome to the Naturist Community
I checked in at the reception, pitched my tent and went swimming in the lake. I was sunbathing on the beach among all the other naked people, then took a nice shower and walked back to my tent completely naked. Once there, I thought it was time for a drink and enjoyed a nice one on the little chair in front of my tent. My neighbors got acquainted and a lady standing next to me drank her wine with me in front of the tent. What a conviviality and what a wonderful feeling of freedom. At night I even walked to the toilet block and met several other naked people. Everyone was naked. I really had a great time there, and on the way home I told my girlfriend (who also knew nothing about it) about my adventure. Being naked is not scary, not weird, no, being naked is wonderful and just feels really nice.
Vacationing Together as Naturists
For two years now, my girlfriend and I have really been going on vacation together. That had not happened until now because of the children from our composite relationship. Our first naturist campsite was Flevo-Nature, where we had a wonderful weekend and therefore longed for more. So now we are going all out together! We only go to naturist campsites and enjoy every second of it. Croatia is our absolute favorite. Usually we try a few days at one campsite first and then we go longer to a campsite we really like. But naturism is in our hearts now, and I still think back with a warm feeling to that first time in that stream in Austria..."

Naturist story 14: "Unplanned bare buttocks camping in Yugoslavia"
"I was about think about 6/7 years old when I went with my parents and sister on vacation to Yugoslavia. We were driving for quite a long time and were completely fed up with driving, because we kept coming across only a naturist campsite in Yugoslavia and we really didn't dare. So on to the next campsite, but that was another naturist campsite. Then my father was fed up and said I'll drive to another campground and even though this one is also a bare-bottom campground, I'm not going to drive another step, we're going to stay there. And yes, so it was also a bare bottom camping. We were upset, but no my father stayed there and we are going to stay there. It was really very strange, especially when a German came in his nude to help put up the awning, without us knowing. We didn't know where to look and with the hours that followed it was even strange to be with something on and slowly something went out anyway, until the days after everything. How much we enjoyed then, we even went back a few years after. There and now I even camp with my boyfriend and little daughter on Flevo-Nature for 2.5 years and have since this year even bought a chalet on Flevo-Nature. We don't want anything else and certainly don't want to leave bare-bones camping."

Naturist story 15: "As a small child on the nude beach"
"I am writing summer 1977 - 14yrs. Rivera camping diagonally across from yes the Flevo court, who hasn't been there on a school trip. Anyway, I was with my parents on section GG and walked into the beach at the marina. Beautiful beach (textile), but after 4 years I had seen it. I went for a walk via the bike path towards Flevohof. I did not know the existence of the eller beach, but I heard screaming children in the water. Of course I went looking and was shocked. Yes I knew, all naked people there. Stand there in sports pants watching, after about 10 minutes a voice sounds: 'Marcel your parents probably don't know you are here'. So that was the over neighbor from box GG. He said go to my wife, the girls are in the water, I will walk to your father to tell him you are with us. Stumble, stumble I walk to the designated place the buuv starts laughing and says I could decide for myself that I took my pants off. Well took 30 minutes and remember July 1977. Never been so tan before."

Naturist story 16: "Chores on a bloody hot day at a nude campsite"
An Unexpected Adventure on the Veluwe
"In 1990, or maybe a year later, the narrator, who grew up in the countryside in Salland and worked for an agricultural farm supply company, was loaned to a roofing company in the Veluwe. They were sent to work on a swimming pool at a campsite in the Flevopolder. Upon arrival at the campground, they discovered that it was a naturist site, where everyone was naked. This was a totally unexpected experience for them.
Introduction to Naturism
Although the roofers were reluctant at first, they were kindly welcomed by the people on the property. They received invitations to swim and have a beer, with the only condition being that they would be naked in the pool. After a few days, and after getting used to the idea, they decided to join in and jumped into the outdoor pool naked.
A Long-term Affinity with Naturism
This was the beginning of the narrator's affinity for naturism, which has now lasted more than thirty years. He has made friends, spent vacations, and taught his children the principles of naturism. Although he has been embroiled in discussions about the difference between nudism and naturism, he considers himself a "functional nudist." To him, being naked is ordinary and natural, and he believes in the principles of "bare simply" and "pure nature."
A New Start at Fifty
Now, in the year he turns fifty, the narrator again decided to take a woman on vacation to a naturist campsite, just as he did in 2000. Although it did not become a relationship, the woman has already booked her next vacation at a naturist campsite.
Bare Just Remains Loaded
The narrator emphasizes that the subject of naturism is still fraught in society. People often make laughable comments about it. However, he acknowledges that he himself is also reluctant to share his personal story.
A Lifelong Commitment to Naturism
All in all, the story describes the narrator's lifelong devotion to naturism and his belief that "nudity is ordinary" and that naturism is a matter of just doing it and then never wanting anything else."

Naturist Story 17: "All burned, but a wonderful experience"
"It was the year 1971. We had known each other for more than six months and as 18-year-olds we went on a teenage tour all over the Netherlands. Of course, we also visited Texel, where my friend used to vacation every year in his childhood. I had to experience that island feeling too. And there was also a nude beach. Large FKK signs marked out part of the beach. Would we make use of this? We had both never been on a nude beach before.... And frankly, I had been raised fairly prudish. Shyly, we undressed and laid back in the sun and looked with some surprise at the people around us and the walkers, clothed or not. What an experience. The weather was beautiful and of course my buttocks and breasts were badly burned, as sunscreen was not used at that time. After the beach we went to a sauna (also for the first time) and a very friendly gentleman explained the rules to us. It was a tiny sauna with only a large ice-cold water barrel for cooling. What surprised me the most was a large room with a lot of deck chairs where about 6/8 men were lounging around. Surely you didn't do that after such a sauna experience, I thought. Now I know better and often lie down and relax after a sauna session. It did not end with that one beach visit and the first sauna. We still go out every year with the tent to the most beautiful naturist campsites in the Netherlands and abroad. And of course we can also be found regularly at Flevo-Nature."

Naturist Story 18: "Naked is naked for us"
"It's not about winning or losing but about freedom, happiness and love. We are Hans and Hannie and in 2010 we met, both just divorced. So tough times. I really don't remember how the pleasure of being naked arose with us. But: Our first real experience was at Flevo-Nature. With an old tent on a place without electricity etc. we put up our tent. Coincidence or not, but that year we celebrated the beginning of summer with regular guests, all of us diving into the pool at 00.00, enjoying beer and tasty snacks made possible by volunteers. Well, that freedom made us happy. For us, being naked was equal to being naked.
- Without clothes, you are yourself.
- No pre-judgments
- No brand color orientation preference or whatever.
Because of this experience despite Covid-19 had a wonderful vacation in on a peasant nude campsite in the Czech Republic. Let's be naked happy."

Naturist Story 19: "What is a sauna anyway?"
A New Experience - 1995
"Around 1995, I won a voucher for 2 people to experience a pampering day with thermal baths and more. I was about 40 years old at the time. I decided to invite my dearest friend to come along. We were looking forward to this "pamper day," something totally new for us.
A Conservative Education
Both of us grew up in large families, where conservatism and strict Christian beliefs were the norm. The word "naked" was already taboo, let alone talking openly about our bodies or sexuality. Television and dating were forbidden; we were raised with the values of obedience and respect.
The Unknown Sauna
On the pampering day we went to Rijswijk, armed with decent bathing suits. Upon arrival, the destination turned out to be a sauna, something we were totally unfamiliar with. With giggles, we received instructions on how to use the lockers and were invited for coffee and a tour.
The First Introduction to Naturism
The tour began, and under our robes we wore our bathing suits. But when the doors to the sauna rooms opened, to our surprise we saw naked people, both men and women. My friend was startled and immediately wanted to leave. She asked where I had taken her. I was a little braver and pulled her back, soothingly saying that we still had clothes on and could always leave after the tour.
The Doubts and Ultimate Choice
After the explanation of the facilities and a tour, we spent nearly half an hour in the locker room, debating whether or not to stay. Not wanting to waste the voucher, I noted that everyone seemed to accept it and no one seemed to peek. We decided to give it a try, albeit with some hesitation.
An Incredible Discovery
Incredibly, all our doubts disappeared within about 20 minutes. We began to enjoy the experience. From then on, we went to the sauna monthly until 2008, when my girlfriend got married and moved to Groningen. We loved it; it felt liberating and relaxing.
Our First Time in a Naturist Campground
In 2010, another friend of ours lost her life. Her husband bought a caravan and spent the season at a beautiful, quiet naturist campsite in the countryside. When we mentioned that we would also visit sometime, he revealed that it was a naturist campsite. My husband and I had no problem with it. He referred to his father who was already swimming naked in the sea in the 1950s and 1960s, despite the scandal it caused. He noted that we are born naked and that clothing has mostly to do with our climate and human conventions.
Addicted to Naturism
We visited the naturist campsite and immediately fell in love with the lifestyle. We've been hooked ever since. Fortunately, we have a large, sheltered garden behind our house, so as soon as we can, our clothes come off."

Naturist Story 20: "Accept and respect your body"
"If you ask me how was me first time exposed, my answer to this question is actually very easy. It actually went very naturally. It wasn't at Flevo-Nature, but it was at naturist beach Bussloo, a great liberating experience. It didn't feel weird at all, maybe it sounds weird, but by being naked I learn to accept my body better. What wasn't always obvious to me because of the many surgeries I've had, I used to lock myself up in clothes and being naked was a kind of shame, but by doing it I learned to handle and accept my body better and better. Being naked made me realize all the more that it doesn't matter what you look like, but that you can be there as you/I am and just don't go locking yourself up in clothes. Writing this story I realize all too well that this is different for everyone, but by being naked you learn to deal with your body and accept it more easily. What I also want to pass along is, know that every person is unique and that it really doesn't matter if you have a size more. The more often you are naked, the more respect and acceptance there is for your own body. For example, it has helped me enormously to accept and especially respect my body. Actually by being naked I realize all the more that naturism is my lifestyle, who I am and want to be, the ultimate way of life for me. This is my first time naked, a very liberating and fantastic experience."

Naturist Story 21: "In retrospect, glad I didn't get out of it"
"We had booked a hotel weekend and it would include a nude sauna. Didn't sleep for days because yes Saturday was going to happen. Just to be sure, we brought bathing suits and put them on. We entered the sauna area. Children were screaming and everyone was wearing clothes. Here I was terribly disappointed, I had set myself up and then this. We even filed a complaint so angry and disappointed I was. When we got home I looked at the vacation auctions and there was a sauna day in there. I made a bold bid of 6 euros, oh dear I won. But anyway, a month passed and my husband said we also had a sauna voucher. Oh yes I said but so no sense in it. But anyway I made a reservation. Well there we went on a Friday morning never forget, we had to undress in a common room. I said well they don't have changing rooms. Whereupon my husband said, soon you have nothing on huh inside. Oh yes that is true. Take a deep breath and here we go. I don't think I felt uncomfortable for a minute. Pure enjoyment, not those sticky bathing suits. A world has opened up for me. This summer we went to a nude beach for the first time and this will certainly not be the last time. I'm converted."
