Month 1
After a month of living nude daily I have embraced it as much as is possible in winter.
I’ll take a break from daily posts, yet continue indulging myself in nakedness.
New public challenges are waiting.

An unclothed male naturist walking up some stairs to take the garbage outside to the trash bin (supposedly at nighttime). #nonsexualnudity
Day 31
Challenge accepted today: „Taking out the garbage nude at night, knowing neighbors might see“
Tbh, the neighbors may not see me from across. Quite dark at nighttime. Will be different in summer. :-)

Locker room in the gym showing a #nonsexualnude photo of a man after having showered, before putting on clothes (mirror selfie).
Day 30
A little late, I know.
My challenge today: „Take a photo in the locker room after sports“
I wish the court would not insist on modesty. I’ve begun to dislike peeling off sweaty sportswear.

Day 29
No new challenge accepted.
Does #bodypositive teaching at a clothed varsity count instead?? There are some people who take issue with headless shots anyway, so I won’t offer one today.

I decided to take my nightly nap in the lounge sans clothes - and, no, I was not forced out of the marital bed for being nude ...

Day 27
No new challenge accepted.
My wife just bought me new #pajamas without asking. The old ones I had disposed of. Now I wonder if she is trying to nudge me - away from wearing my #nudist nightie …

A day at the spa or public sauna may mean undressing first, like the man depicted in the photo has done to get ready (#nonsexualnudity).
Day 26
Challenge accepted: „Doing skincare or a self-care spa day nude”
Not sure that a day at the sauna counts as a spa day (plus: I’ve had it a week ago). But taking a photo there? That is something I’d say.

Day 23
Challenge accepted: „Practicing an instrument nude“

As #nudity at home made me shiver, I practiced #nudism at the sauna - to heat up. No photos allowed tho. 🥲

My brekkie: Muesli and fruitt with vitamins.
Day 18
Challenge accepted: „Eating breakfast nude“
My #nakedness this morning raised questions about me not being cold. So I focused on #EatingHealthy (and staying #nude). Practicing #nudism on the weekend now.

Reading Psalm 139. Hebrew is the real challenge.

Man in the mirror. Although there is nothing to be ashamed of, looking at the man in the mirror (as created by God and gone wrong on one’s own terms) can be quite a revelation and the beginning of a new path.
Day 12
Slowly running out of level 1 challenges, I begin to transit to level 2. Next on my list was “Dancing nude in front of a mirror” - I did a #nudephoto session instead to document my progress. 🤭

Day 11
Accepted challenge:
“Reading nude“
Why not use the #nudity challenge to read a bit? Ideally, reading is a #leisure activity, but it might also be job-relevant. Sometimes it is both.

Maybe a bit too similar to stretching #nude the other day, but hey—why not take on #nudity challenges that may be alike? Each one has its own vibes.
