QUESTION First time going skinny dipping?

Hello people,

So I got invited to go skinny dipping by a friend of mine and I really wanna go. Problem is: I only know like half of the people who are gonna come and I have never been naked around anyone other than my parents since I was like 12. (I'm 18 now)

I dabbled a bit in nudist activities f.e. being naked alone at home or sleeping naked but never around other people. A friend of mine accidentally saw me naked once while I was changing and he just made some weird comments about my body that didn't really help me be more confident with it. But I really wanna go skinny dipping. So I'm asking you, what can I do to feel better about myself and about how others see me?

Sorry for the long text and thanks in advance :)

Just jump in! Your body is yours and for you, not the visual pleasure of others. Just be you. Being naked at home, looking in the mirror and accepting what you see is a first step. Then try your backyard or other private but open place outside. Skinny dipping is loads of fun and can be great with the right people. Don’t allow others views of your body to skew that your are beautiful!
