Religious people and nudism
Not my wife, but my mother started out religious.
My mom started out as a very religious person as she was raised in a very strict fundamental religious family in Ohio. I'm not sure, but I think that they were members of some off shoot mormon cult that only believed in hard work, dicipline, prayer and strict obedience to their "leader". I never met them, but my mom told me horror stories of how strict, unforgiving and intollerent of other peoples' beliefs and behavior my grand parents were. They would punish her for even suggesting the possibility of going to a birthday party to have fun and making new friends. This was in the 1940s and parents believed in regularly beating "common sense" into their children.
As soon as she could, mom left home and enrolled in a business school in Chicago. There she was exposed to a whole new world of freedoms. World War 2 in Europe was just ending and everyone was partying and finding new ways of escaping the past 4 years of hard work and sacrafice. That summer a friend introduced her to social nudism at a rustic farm/camp in Wisconsin. It was a complete departure everything she had been taught or ever experienced. It was new, exciting and fun and she was hooked.
After they started dating regularly, she took her boy friend ( my dad ) to the camp and they became an avid nudist couple. After they married they moved to southern California where they soon became active members of both nudist camps in the area. Around 1960 they were able to build a home in the country and we became a full time nudist family, Mom, Dad, my sister and me. I'm thankful that mom and dad became such an avid nudists and allowed us to grow up as a happy nudist family.
Even though over the years mom had been with hundreds of nude people at camps and home she remained very conservative in her manner and behavior. She was very involved in club activities and organized many home gatherings, but was never loud, demonstrative or the "life of the party". Mom was not at all shy or a prude, but she did tend to hold back more than some others. I don't know if that was a hold over from her religious youth or was just the generally acceptable behavior for "good" girls in those days. While at camp during the 1960s and 1970s most women avoided attracting potentially sexual attention by not sitting or laying with spread legs, giggling breasts, striking provocative poses, or with displays of affection.
And back to the original topic, I guess that her parents ( and possibly their "leader" ) are rolling over in their graves knowing that their daughter became a lifelong avid nudist and had even quit wearing panties when she did dress.
