How would ! My husband and tween daughters and I took up at-home nudism a few years ago. This happened after a trip to France where we spent time on topless and nude beaches.
We live in a socially conservative part of the US, so there are no nude beaches or nudist resorts near us, but we aren’t there yet. We just happen to live in a warm-weather area with a pool and patio that are fairly secluded, and we like the feeling of nude sunbathing and swimming. Especially us girls.
So just as we did it, I would suggest that you do this in stages. At first we only went nude in the evenings in the pool and on the patio. Then by day. Then in the home. But we dress for guests – not that we have had many during the pandemic – or when it’s necessary.
We do have a few fairly hard rules. In the house, we all use a personal towel. The women wear underwear when it’s better for hygiene (i.e. when we are on our period or spotting). We don’t cook in the nude – we wear aprons. We don’t flash visitors or delivery people, so we have oversize bathrobes at the front door to share. And we dress when it suits us – we wear clothing (sometimes tops only) when doing video meetings for school or work-from-home. We wear clothing when doing chores outside that involve pool chemicals, power tools, or in the front when we wash a car. I also wear clothing to work out – we have a home gym and I don’t like to run on the treadmill without a sports bra.
So it’s all about comfort. Physical and mental.
You can’t convince your siblings if you can’t get your parents to buy in. If they don’t then you might be able to just be nude in your room, or if you are like us, we have bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs, and you could be nude while up there.
If your parents are on board, you would set aside clothing-optional times and spaces. If everyone is 10+ then they should be aware of sex and biology. My girls were already tweens and well into puberty so they didn’t need any lessons here on what to see or expect.
Nudism is meant to be about personal freedom of the body. So you shouldn’t shame people or make them feel conscious about wearing clothing. We get about 10 months of summer, but in the winter it can get cold enough that we put on clothing for warmth. One of my daughters may go around in socks and a hoodie, but without even underwear. We don’t shame her for that. And just because we are all on the same page for grooming and hair removal, doesn’t mean that everyone has to be. Remember, personal towels are your friend.
