My Body My Issues

My Body My Issues Nude Art Pose 2022 One of the main topics that I talk about revolve around body issues. Now I know I’m not the first person in the world to have issues with their body, but it is a topic I like to discuss so that others don’t feel like they’re alone. My body has been bigger in terms of weight. In fact, I was considered to be a “big baby”. It’s that weight that has stuck with me for a very long time.  Growing up I was know for my chubby cheeks (on my face before you have any other ideas), and my belly. I was called fatty, big boy and that was some of the nicer names that people would call me at school. When it came to my family, my weight was used as a frame of reference for jokes and pointing out whether I was consuming the right amount of food. Especially in the Latinx (Lantino) community, food and weight go hand in hand. If you were too skinny, you needed to eat more. If you were seen as too fat, you needed to eat less.

My First time at a Nude Beach

Werrong Beach, NSW, Australia My First time at a Nude Beach Going to any beach should be a comfortable experience for anyone. For me going to the beach was always an experience I loved for the feeling of the water on my body, but I always wanted to go the beach naked.

There wasn't much naturist activity in my area, or at least that's what I thought. It was only after a bit of research that I found that there was a nude beach, but it was not that close.

Why Naturism is Important to me?

  Why Naturism is Important to me? If you have been following the podcast, then you should all know by now that I’m a naturist/nudist. It has always been something that has made me feel free and helped me to deal with the outside world in ways that I feel many people never take into consideration. ACT Nudist Club 2019 To me, naturism is important as it has helped me though a lot of body issues as well as image issues that I have with myself. It helped me to realise that I’m in charge of what I look like but I’m not in charge of what people feel about my looks. My looks are not stereotypically handsome or beautiful and it’s something that I’ve learned to live with over the past few years. To me, naturism is important to help me to look beyond the looks of a person and get to know others from other backgrounds. The one thing that naturism strips (besides clothes) is the labels that we seem to have with others based on wealth, status, occupation, religious and political beliefs. We are st
