  There are numerous advantages to the nudist lifestyle, including the pleasure of feeling the sun all over your body, no tan lines, and the healthy self-confidence that naturism reflects. Many people are ready to try nudism yet don’t know how or where to practice it. Start with Step 1 below to increase your comfort with nudism and help you find ways and places to spend time nude, or (if you need more specific advice) check out the sections listed above.
  Recognize that nudity is natural. We are born naked and it is our natural state. Clothing keeps us warm and is often necessary to wear in public, but that doesn't mean it needs to be worn at all times. There's a time for letting your natural self just be. Imagine the freedom that will come with feeling the air and sun touch your skin everywhere, not just places that are normally exposed.
  Get to know the purpose of nudism. Nudism, also called naturism, is about more than the simple act of being nude; it's also about getting closer to nature. In your natural state, there are no boundaries between yourself and the natural world. How freeing and exhilarating would it feel to lie naked on the beach, or under a tree, one with the natural world and comfortable in your own skin? People choose naturism to reach this particular height of happiness.
  Know that nudity isn't always sexual. Yes, people have sex naked, but nudity itself does not have to be sexual. Revealing clothing is often more sexually suggestive than being totally naked, since it leaves more to the imagination. If you're worried that becoming a naturist means you're opening yourself up to unwanted sexual encounters, know that for many naturists, it's about being free and natural, not lecherous.
  Being a naturist is not about having public sex or exposing yourself to others. Many naturists are modest people who choose naturism for the above reasons, and not in order to sexually connect with people.
  That said, nudity can be pleasing to the senses in a sexual way. The feel of air or water flowing uninterrupted across your entire body awakens the senses and may be arousing. This is healthy and natural. You should not feel ashamed to have or explore these sexual feelings. Suppressing sexual feelings is unhealthy in general, and suppressing them in the context of naturism negates the healthy benefits of a naturist lifestyle.
  Sleep naked. Not topless or in your underwear, completely naked. Sleeping naked promotes relaxation and thus improves the quality of your sleep. On warm nights, sleep naked and skip bed-coverings, too, and see how good you feel fully exposed to the open air.
  If you find sleeping naked difficult, work your way up to it. Shed one piece of clothing, for example your pajama top, and when you’re accustomed to sleeping without that, shed the next piece, and so on until you’re sleeping nude.
  Try opening a window near your bed (keeping the blinds closed) to let a breeze in. Remember that part of being a naturist is to feel closer to the natural world.
  Spend as much time as you can around the house naked. Stay naked after a shower. Towel dry and go about the rest of your routine naked. Advance to being naked while you’re eating, while you’re cleaning, and especially while you’re relaxing, be it in front of the TV, with a good book or sunning in your backyard.
  Remember to respect others' boundaries when it comes to nudity. When you're naked in your house, keep the blinds and curtains closed. Don't sunbathe nude in the yard unless you have a high privacy fence.
  Talk to your partner about nudism. Being naked in a nonsexual way with your partner may take your intimacy to the next level, plus it means you'll be able to stay naked when he or she is in the house. Discuss whether this is something you could explore together. If your partner isn't into it, ask if he or she would be comfortable with you doing it by yourself.
  Locate a nudist community. An online search will help you locate your nearest nudist club or beach. Once you’re comfortable being naked at home, take the next step and visit the naturist community. Be sure you know the rules and expectations of the community before you go.
  Don’t let feelings of inadequacy hinder you. Once you visit a nudist community, you’ll realize that everyone is different in some way and that none of it is wrong. The visitors aren't worrying about their bodies, or yours, they’re simply there to enjoy the pleasure of naturism in a friendly environment.
  Some nudist communities encourage sex. Be aware of whether that's something you want to experience before you show up.
  Participate in online forums. These can be great resources for people who want to discuss the life of a naturist and swap information on good naturist destinations.
  Take a nudist holiday. France is an excellent nudist destination, famous for its nude beaches. If France is too far, closer to home you should be able to find clothing-optional resorts, natural mountain hot springs for nude soaking, and skinny-dipping spots.
  Continue to be naked whenever you can. Check out your local laws regarding being topless in public, including at parks, swimming pools and at the beach. Likewise, you can participate in one of the fun naked bike rides that take place the world over. Go nude where it is appropriate, hiking, nature reserves. Be comfortable with yourself and by experience one can go nude as long you don't upset other people.
  I am single male and have not had a girlfriend. How could I tell a female friend about my experience in nudism?
  Just be honest with her. If she is a friend she will understand. If she seems uncomfortable with the conversation, change the subject.
  It is completely up to you. One of the best things about being a nudist is celebrating your body, so manicure your nether-hair in the way that makes you feel most comfortable and confident.
  Yes, most nude friendly environments are very non-judgemental. Bodies come in infinite shapes and sizes, and nudists are all about embracing them all.
  Yes, but if you are under 18, you must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. If you are 18, you are free to be a naturist as you please, unless you live in one of the few states where the age of majority is more than 18; you live in Arkansas, where nudism is illegal entirely; or you still live with parents or guardians who are very much against nudism.
  My daughter lives at a naturist camp and would like me to come visit with my 2 younger children (8 and 10 year-old boys). She has assured me that they would wear wraps until the boys felt comfortable removing their clothes and being around others without clothes. How can I make it more comfortable for them?
  If you feel like your sons are too young for an experience like this, perhaps you should decline the offer. Of course, they could always wear clothes. It's not your daughter's decision whether your sons wear clothes, wraps, or just their underwear. Respect your son's decisions, too. If they are uncomfortable being around naked people, offer to come when they are a bit older, or maybe go on your own and leave them with a babysitter.
  Explain that you are, or want to be, a nudist, and ask the servant if (s)he would be okay with you being naked at home. If the servant is not okay with it, you can be naked in your room, or just go to a nudist resort, club or event.
  Absolutely.. It can either be a lifestyle choice or just something you want to do every now and then.
  Then trim it, shave it, do what ever you need to do to feel comfortable. Nudism is about accepting who you are. That may take time, but once you do it's the best feeling in the world.
  Be aware of local and state laws regarding public nudity. They differ widely, depending on the area or state. There are no federal laws against nudity.
  Before going to nude events try going for a nude walk outside. It will help you understand what will happen to your body if it's your first time.
  Starting out topless or without pants is helpful in the beginning, but remember, you're only halfway there. If you haven't quite gotten used to the nudist lifestyle yet, being at least half naked is a good way to start!
  Try a nude hike in a wilderness area. The rules for many BLM areas and state parks use phrases like "not in view of others " in the rules for visitors to the area.
  Cook with your clothes on. Cooking naked is not recommended; it's much easier to get burned that way. With that, it can be difficult to treat burns to the genital and posterior regions.
  In many places, public nudity (nudity in a non-designated naturist area) is legal;for example, in Britain public nudity is legal. But this is not so everywhere: in the United States, nudity laws vary, but many localities are adopting a more open attitude to simple public nudity and legalizing it, so long as there is no intent to alarm or arouse. Contact a local naturist organization to find out what is allowed in public.
  im trying to downlaod a video tut for somthing but when ever i download it then open it it opens in notepad and its all a bunch of gibberish. this happens when i download anything so.. yeah if anyone can help thanks
  Do a file search on your own computer and see if you have another file of the same type. If yes, then right click and open this file and see if plays prorerly.
  as for what it is i think its a zip file cuz i remember reading somthing about it before i downloaded it saying it was a compressed file.
  If you're running XP it should handle any zip file without any problems, so must be something else going on there.
  k the video tut is for a hacking program for a game called BOTS acclaim the tut can be downloaded at this link
  when i click the open with then go to choose a file then browse type in wmp. nothing comes up it sais nos earch results found for wmp. inless wmp means windows media player in that case ive tried that and it sais it cannot be played..
  If it was a ZIP or other archive, did you try extracting it first? You can use a free program like 7-Zip or Izarc.
  With the exception of Online Armor,Prevx1+SSM,is there a HIPS that you would recomend and why? Not really crazy about testing beta's.Any suggestions are welcome.
  If you´re into answering alot of popups I would recommend Ghost Security Suite = Regdefend+Appdefend.. It has excellent registry protection, and the application control catches everything a software tries to do.
  It´s been a while since I ran my Processguard but it was great too because of the control of what a software was allowed to do. Even though Ghost Security Suite has more options (not as man as SSM though).
  You only pay for those apps once which is good, but the downside with them are they are not developed (new versions) as fast as one (just my personal view ) would like (I believe they are both one man show´s) but that does not mean they are out dated, they still do a good job afaik.
  Thank you for the suggestion Sukarof.I noticed you have Geswall in your sig's is there a reason you would not recomend it or is it not considered a hips?
  Sorry about that. I dont have Geswall installed anymore I just did try it for a while, forgot about my sig (dunno why I put it there in the first place ) I dont know much about it so I really cant say anything. It did not behave like the other HIPS, more of a sandbox for browsers and other things that connected the net.
  But there are others here that are more educated about Geswall than me, and I am sure they will give a better answer
  id also vouch for Ghost Security Suite. its interface is nice and its protection is very configurable.
  Not me. I use ProcessGuard and I don't mind its popups at all. I also have KAV 2006 MP version which irritated me so much with a ton more popups (than with earlier betas and the original release version) from ProActive Defense that I finally just turned off PAD entirely. I tried other HIPS a few months ago and SSM was horrible ...constant popups. The others I didn't like at all either for various reasons.
  If your looking for HIPPS to try, give ProSecurity a go. It's received good reviews here at Wilders.
  I only get pop ups for fresh installs or programs not fully allowed yet. Found that ProSecurity gave a lot more when I tried it.
  If you have less popups it means there are hardcoded rules that are automatically allowing some modules.
  My ruleset has been finished for better than a year. Nothing unexpected happens. Besides, I run with the UI disconnected, which shuts off all prompts. With the UI disconnected "ask" becomes "deny". To be fair, I will see an alert when I access certain system utilities like regedit and msconfig, but I'm set up that way by choice. They're both blocked with the UI disconnected, which is how SSM should ideally be run.
  I lost a bet of my son. He stated he could train SSM free within an hour on the PC of my wife. He did not tell her (he changed something). Ran the PC for a month with user interface disconnected. I challenged him by setting SSM to the tightest safety rules (block all unknown, changes in servicesm processes et cetera).
  The bet was I would buy him the follow up of battlefield 2 when she would come down complaining on something (not working right or whatever). If she would complain he would buy me a bottle. I ended up buying his game.
  I personally like ProSecurity, as i have contact with the developer, helped supply useful suggestions, ideas and tested for him and from what i have seen, i have complete confidence in the developer to actually and actively care about his product. If you tell him of a problem he will jump on it like a rash until its fixed. Hes working on a few suggestions of mine and bug fixes of other peoples and will release a new build quite soon, i would say within 7 days at a guess maybe less maybe more, we will see.
  Having tried prosecurity hips lately i feel i can highly recommend it. It runs great and has all the bells and whistles you could need. It even has outbound network control which i found excellent.
  I've just downloaded SpywareBlaster 3.5.1 and clisked on 'Enable All Protection' , but , at completion it is said that 253 items in 'restricted sites' have protection disabled.
  I've tried using the 'Enable all Protection', right clicking to select all and individually checking all the unprotected red entries (did that twice), and still come up 524 short of full boat coverage.
  I've read your thread and solved the problem by closing 'SpySweeper' before clicking on 'Enable All Protection' , now it works fine.
  I'm having the same problem with certain IE and Restricted Sites losing protection each time the computer starts, but I don't have Spy Sweeper installed on my computer.
  I had the same problem until i shut dow all my virus and spyware protection, then tried to enable all protection. this solved the problem, thanks for all y'all ideas on what to try
  I "solved" my problem by paying for the automatic update, since nothing else was working. Now the program updates and includes everything each time I start-up the computer.
  When I was reinstalling Spysweeper(see below)-it indicated that SpywareBlaster was attempting to change the entry for "0190-dialers.com"-at first I did not allow-but when I went to look at the unprotected items, I saw that the 0190 was being added to the list of restricted sites-so I disabled protection in SpywareBlaster and then enabled and Spysweeper asked again on 0190 and I allowed, while checking the "always take this action" box. After this I have been able to enable all protection in SpywareBlaster without disabling Spysweeper. It does do it much slower than when the shield is down.
  There was a glitch in Spysweeper where the IE shield would not remember instructions it had been given by you. This was "corrected" in a new version release. However, if you were still experiencing problems after the upgrade, Spysweeper suggested removing Spysweeper, restarting computer and then installing Spysweeper again.
  If you told Spysweeper to deny the 0190 change and had it "always take this action"-I believe that is what I originally did-you would have to find a way to change this-but since I uninstalled and reinstalled, the "action" was not there.
  Since I've changed various security programs on my computer, i thought that I would disable the automatic update of Spywareblaster since it seems to be the last thing to load when my computer starts up and seems to take the most time, and I also wanted to see if I still had the problem with unchecked protections in IE - which are mainly things like lop.com, etc.
  I do now have Spy Sweeper on my computer, but I have all protection disabled - I tend to only use it as an on-demand scanner because its resource use is too high and my other programs tend to protect the same items.
  I do use Spybot's Immunize function - is that causing an overlap? I really would prefer to manually update Spywareblaster, but don't want to leave a hole in my protection.
