I’m kind of disappointed to be writing this entry, but I’ve realized after buying that really nice (and really expensive) bikini yesterday, I’m never actually going to be able to wear it.
My those who don’t know my history, Jayson and I were nudists for many years. We were serious about it. We were members of the AANR, and regularly went to nude beaches and nude resorts. I was very comfortable being nude and openly walked around at home nude in front of my family. When we had children, we believed we wanted to teach them very early on that their bodies are not anything they need to be ashamed of.
But then things changed when we started going to church. As I became more and more religious, I really began feeling uncomfortable showing my body. Not ashamed of my body in any way, I just started to feel like the only person who should be seeing me naked in Jayson. We made the conscious decision together to stop being nudists.
Our church teaches that we should dress modestly, and I believe in the teachings of my church. Having worn bikinis at beaches (when not nude) all my life, I never gave much thought to the fact that it is an immodest way to dress. But then I got a friendly reminder of that in my notes, and I realize that it is true.
Obviously it could be argued that almost anything you’d wear to the beach is immodest, but if you’re going to wear a swimsuit and you have the choice between one that barely covers you and one that covers a lot more, it’s right for me to choose the one that covers more. And for that reason I will no longer wear bikinis.
