Nudity is normal.
As a toddler you grow up in freedom. You play naked on the beach in the sand or you are naked in the swimming pool. Then, you grow up and you’re taught that you need to hide your body from other people. In the worst case, the society made clear to you that your own body is not beautiful. The society pushes you to cover up your body and lose your sense of your own body. Especially during puberty, many young people are afraid of exclusion and sanctions from other young people, when it comes to the topic of their imperfect bodies. But we don’t have to be ashamed of how we look and what our body looks like. Just because it doesn’t match the Instagram ideal of beauty. That does not mean that the man isn’t beautiful.
I grew up in a family that didn’t make nudity taboo. So I was able to develop my own body awareness and thus discover the beauty of my own body. When I was young, I had to relearn too, what it means to be proud of my own body.
When I was teenager, I often did little bike rides to places where I could be alone. In forests, fields or lost places. I didn’t go to these places for a cure so that I could find peace, but also for a possibility to get naked there. I laid down naked in a field and felt the wind and the sun on my body. I have often masturbated too. But that was not the actual goal of the excursions. But to be naked outdoors. I often hiked a bit naked through the forest or across the meadow. Sometimes I was even able to convince a friend to come with me and also to make this experience. But as I got older and had more free time, it became harder and harder to live out these moments. It was difficult to find such places, especially after I moved to big cities. But fortunately I now live in a big city that makes this experiences possible again.
Today I live in Berlin. A city where almost everyone can wear whatever clothes they want. Especially in the club scene, nudity also plays a major role. Luckily mostly in the sense of body positivity. I love to move to the techno beats just in jocks and a choker around my neck. Dancing to the point of ecstasy and sharing it with people who also indulge in this desire. At sex positiv parties I had some of my best nights ever. And even there you can find people with the same sense of nudity.
After such long night at the club, I often go to the lake or to the park. T-Shirt and Pants off. Underwear down. And lie down nicely naked in the sun. This is a perfect day too. That’s exactly why I moved to Berlin. To enjoy the freedom of my body, dance, feel the beats and make some new experience.
Another new experience in which I can also live out my exhibitionistic, is the art of photography. Not only that you get great pictures for yourself as a result. With these pictures I can also encourage people to put themselves in front of the camera. People have written to me several times after I had posted pictures of a photo shoot. They asked me what it’s like to do a photo shoot like this and if you can dare to do it. I was able to convince a few to dare to be in front of the camera. It’s a great chance to boost self-confidence and also get a nice keepsake for later.
