How to Get Your Family to Be Naked

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Many people don't know how to get their family involved in the nudist movement. Here's how!

Steps

1. Do it in a gradual and natural way. One of the biggest mistakes is to suddenly start gallivanting around your family's house with absolutely no clothes on and anticipate their acceptance of what most would consider an extreme and radical change in behaviour. This practice can be particularly disastrous if your family harbours conservative views regarding nudity. In conservative households, try to get them used to nudity by gradually showing more and more skin over time. This can be achieved by walking around the living room in your towel, walking into your parents’ room for a quick question in your underwear paired with a shirt, and so on. Depending on your family’s reactions, sooner or later you can start having chats to them in just your underwear and then with no clothes at all. Another good way to expose your family is by ensuring you are nude in your room ALL THE TIME, so whenever they walk in they catch you naked.
   
2. Handle resistance with normalcy. Behave as if it is typical behaviour and shrug it off. If they don’t like it give the no clothes mission a break for a couple of weeks and try it again, behaving as if you didn’t think about the fact you are partially naked. They may or may not become more comfortable however increased exposure to something can generate acceptance. Also it is important to be prepared for physical violence, depending on the family and how resistance manifests itself in them. If they feel particularly opposed to nakedness they may resort to pushing and shoving to slapping- it is paramount that as a revoluntionary you are prepared for such a response and understand warning signs.
   
3. Accept that it may take time. Not everyone is going to feel comfortable with nakedness, even within their own family. They may even choose to be violently vociferous regarding their opinions, depending on how they feel about it.
   
4. Let them know that you like to be naked. You can do this by voicing your opinions in discrete ways, such as at the dinner table. Anytime the opportunity arises, such as a discussion regarding art you can introduce the topic of nude art, nude Roman statues or photography. Discuss your opinions on nudity, such as that nudity is a beautiful manifestation of nature.
   
5. Demonstrate that nudity isn’t necessarily a perverted thing but an aspect of life. Again the topic of nudity as depicted in high brow art can prove useful to achieve this. To solidify this principle you can purchase a plethora of art that depicts nudity and display them in prominent places in your bedroom and around the house.
   
6. Make them feel comfortable being nude around the house and encourage this behaviour. When you see a family member being a little more naked than usual, praise them. You can say things like, “Wow, that diet has really been working for you”, or “Good on you for not feeling self-conscious about your body because the naked body is a natural aspect of life and we as progressive and forward thinking adults can appreciate this and not demonstrate behaviour that reflects the internalisation of the rules our often bureaucratic society imposes on us.” This is known as operant conditioning, whereby desired behaviour is encouraged through positive reinforcement.
   
7. Take them to nude beaches. This is a great way to demonstrate how nudity does not have to be limited to the household and meet others who share similar beliefs.
   

Tips

• A gradual implementation of nudity by doing it yourself first is a great starting step.
  
• It's all about framing nudity in a different way to what they may perceive it to be.
  
• If they don't enjoy or agree, act cavalier until they do.
  

Warnings

• Be prepared for vociferous resistance. Pushing the issue may even result in violence.
  
• Some public places will not allow nudity. If you do so you may be charged and ensuing consequences may include a fine or even a prison sentence if repeat and frequent nudity occurs.
  
• Do not share photos of them. This may be illegal in some states and they also may not like it.
