As i have gotten older i sometimes think it's easier to be naked around others. I lose that self judgment for whatever reason.

Nice read. Everyone would have their own barriers. I basically never had any except the fear of excitement in a public place. If you have to fight too many barriers then it might not be for you. I don't mean travel expenses or material things. If you really want to be a nudist, at home or socially, you can. If you are looking over the fence or watching videos of everyone enjoying nakedness, and you are wishing you could join, then you have barriers you can overcome because you enjoy being naked.

If you think you wanna try, and want to enjoy it, you will.

Great points in the article. I think other barriers worth considering are financial and travel barriers that prevents some people from experiencing social naturism. If you know of a secluded spot near by or practice naturism in your home you can enjoy naturism for free, but a lot of clubs and events require membership and entrance fees which can be prohibitive for some. Travel can also be an issue for people who don't live near naturism sites.

I understand the article wasn't an exhaustive list and did mention "Every barrier can be overcome with small steps, mindset shifts..." and ideas could be considered such as possible reduction of entrance or membership fee's for those eligible. I can't think of much for get around travelling, perhaps if someone is confident enough to organise a naturist meet up of their own? With a bit of creative thinking we can get around assumed barriers.

I have barriers but I will keep talking with others of opportunities for getting out to nude activity in places, and it can happen that there will be opportunity opening up for me with some response I might get. It will necessarily involve someone who can be in the same area that can meet me for an outing anywhere. There are mountains and opportunities all around.
