Male, single, straight, been a naturist since my early teens. I enjoy hiking, camping, swimming, SCUBA diving, sailing, fishing, and hunting, as well as working on projects around home. Living out in the country, with very few (and distant) neighbors, I’m able to spend a lot of time nude outdoors at home. I’ve done quite a bit of nude hiking and camping, as well as fishing, sailing, and diving nude. I also enjoy nude running, and have run one nude 5K race. I was among the first AANR-sponsored “World Record Skinny Dip” participants in 2009. I believe that nakedness is the natural and normal state of the human body, and that we are created by God, in His image, and should not be ashamed of our bodies. Simply stated, I prefer to experience the natural environment in the natural human state of nudity.
