Does being nude make you feel alive? Is the sun, wind and rain on your skin important to you? Does being nude around the house make you feel more relaxed and invigorated? If so, then you just might be a nudist. 
Do you think those kinds of feelings are sensuous, like good music and good friends, or do you believe those kinds of feelings are primarily sexual, like a Victoria Secret fashion show.

On another forum one nudist reported from his shrink that he was going naked because he was seeking acceptance of his body after a troubled childhood. I find that intriguing. Seems like there is a lot of truth there for many who go naked. We all want our bodies to be acceptable and accepted on some deep level. |

For me being nude is enjoying the air and sun on my total body, not just my hands and face. It has nothing at all to do with sex. Being nude is freedom from the discomfort of clothing on a hot sticky day. I very much dislike cold weather because of the heavy, burdensome clothing restricting my movements. When home I am nude as much as possible inside. Unfortunately I do not have a private area outside to enjoy outdoor nudity, but believe me I would if I could. Living in small town USA is not nudist friendly. I often look for private place to enjoy being nude outside but have to be careful so I do not get caught. Hopefully our next home will have the outdoor privacy I long for. |

i agree with all of the points so far being a nudist is about relaxing but me and my girlfriend have a very active sex life too and many times the two activities have inter twined but there is a distinct difference being nude for recreation and relaxation and being nude to make love. and being nude isn't about sex if that was true the lingerie industry would have gone years ago |

I like being nude because it just feels good. I can't describe the feeling of freedom that I get being nude. I especially enjoy the outdoors being nude. I have not had a great number of experiences but I especially enjoy going to the clubs. You don't have to worry about someone seeing you that might be offended plus I like the club activities. Swimming, taking a walk and camping in my RV are my favorire things. Being nude at home is difficult because I have an 18 year old daughter and a grown step son that are in and out. Since my wife is not a nudist herself, my club trips are limited. Since my very first time being at a nude club, I have never associated sex with nudism. On the contrary, nudism is about the least sexual activity I can think of for me. I am more relaxed after a 3 hour visit to a club than I am after a whole weekend of textile activities.
Thanks for this forum. It's about the only place I can go to "talk about it"

That's a bit off-topic for this thread. Why not put that question in an appropriate place, like Mens or Beginners? |

I hope this isnt off topic. But I have some things that I would like feedback on. And I THINK it may fit in here. If not I apologize. Feel free to move it to a better location.
I am hoping that this is a place I can discuss this on a mature level and not be judged either.
First off. I hate wearing cloths. I prefer to be nude. Society dictates to us that nudity equals sex, and I disagree.
- I think nudity is healthier.
- God made us this way.
- If everyone went naked, there would be less fornication, adultery and other sexual deviences I believe. Less pornography as well. Because people tend to like "forbidden fruit". It like countries with no drinking age have less alcohol abuse especially by youth. (I know not everyone agrees with these ideas, but I feel these are wrong uses of nudity and sex)
- It feels great to be nude.
- People should not feel ashamed to be naked.
But I am also concerned about myself, because I have other feelings as well.
I also love nudity, for other reasons. Sometimes, it is arousing. The thought of being naked in front of other people is exciting. I wouldnt feel comfortible say, being nude in front of my parents. So I must see it as sexual to some degree. And I hope not to offend anyone, but I also have preferences of certain body types and would not want to see certain types. I think that both the male and female bodies are beautiful. But only according to my tates. (I hope that doesnt sound too terrible)
Now, all that said. My wife and I have been to a nude beach before and I had no sexual thoughts. I just enjoyed being naked. And thought it was very cool that everyone else was also naked and enjoying themselves. I didnt get an erection or anything like that. Thought it was ... exciting. But maybe more of in an adventureous way than a sexual way. But I cant say that it wasnt sexually exciting. More the idea than the being. If that makes sense.
So anyway... I want to be as pure about this as I can. Especially since I am trying to teach my children about it and others as the opportunity arises. And it SHOULD be pure in my eyes.
Are these other feelings I have a natural part of the process?
Will they go away eventually?
Is it just society's ideas that have tanished my thoughts and feelings on nudity?
Is this something I should be concerned about?
I want to be able to tell my wife that is it purely...pure and innocent. (she has concerns about "public" nudity)
Im looking forward to any helpful comments or advice.
And again, I hope I didnt offend anyone.

The textile world is as sexy, if not more, than the nudist world. Textile folks have lots of sex, so nudism is not about sex. It's about socializing, and having an area where nudity is not forbidden. It's a lifestyle, wherein we do nothing more than what textile people do.
If there is sexuality in any lifestyle, it is a life-force that cannot tell the difference between clothing or the absence of it.

I'm not a nudist in the conventional sense of the word, but I can relate to a lot of what's been written here. The first time I took my clothes off in front of a camera, I experienced a wonderful feeling of freedom, physically and emotionally. Taken back to my "bare essentials", if you like, no need to hide, no need to pretend. I am what I am. It came to the point where I now feel more comfortable nude in front of a camera than clothed. I joined this site primarily to ask for advice about nude location shooting, but I have to say, I am seriously considering taking this further. I already spend a lot of time around my house nude (as does my son, we have no taboo on nudity in my home) and I think I would enjoy experiencing the freedom I feel when nude in front of the camera in other areas of my life too :) |

tigerlady, well put. Nudism to me is about the freedom of not wearing clothes. It's about feeling the sun, wind and water on my entire body. It's about knowing that there's no barrier between me and nature. It may sound sappy, but it's a satisfaction I get from being a nudist that hasn't gotten old in over twenty years. And being able to share the experience with fellow nudists is the icing on this particular cake.

To me being nude is being free of clothing and feeling good in my skin. Walking around nude has nothing to do with sex. There is nothing better than the feeling of the warm sun on my skin. Living at a nudist resort my husband and I are nude most of the time. We enjoying doing a lot of outdoor activities in the summer, we just do them in the nude. |

I'm nude only around my home. primarilly because my wife isn't comfortable with me being nude in public and also for some reason Durban (South Africa) nudists are very shy people and I haven't been able to meet any, even on line. Having said that being nude is not about sex at all, it is simply much more comfortable being nude (it gets very hot in Durban. I just prefer being nude plain and simple. |

to me nudism is getting back to nature, getting closer to God especially if i'm hiking or wading in a river, it also bring on the little boy in me. When I was about eight I had bought one of those true detective magazines and it had a article about a family visit to a nudist resort, I was hooked and would always be looking for places where I could go and take off my clothes, a couple time I was even nude with my friends. But I was alway afraid of getting caught and getting in trouble, looking back how could a child get in trouble for being nude. Now I envie children who were raised as nudist, I wonder if my adult children ever apperciate what I missed out on. |

Praise the Lord nudity is still something we can enjoy.

"Nude" just means barefoot all over.
Post of the day. I know your post is from last year, but it's still my "Post of the Day".

It's about enjoying the sensuality of the wind, air, water on me w/o tight constricting clothings. Nudists are no different than any other people except that after a large meal, nudists have no belt to losen.
When sexuality is brought into nudism, nudism becomes something else IMHO.

This is SO 100% right. I attended my first social nudism event (one of Cheri's, actually) just this past weekend. This is SO not what the world thinks. And I know now that nudism alone is fine, but with others is better. It is SO NOT sexual. When I took off my clothes to go out and meet everyone, I took something else off. Don't know WHAT it was, but suddenly, I, the world's shyest and most introverted person was ready to meet people.
I simply do not yet understand it, but this was the FIRST social event I have attended in 48 years where I was comfortable, confident and happy.
I don't know WHAT happened, don't understand (yet) at all, but I DO know that this is not about sex - it's psychological, or it's mental, or it's emotional - I don't know.
But I can assure EVERYONE that it is not sexual. And if you let it become sexual, then you are simply a "swinger", engaged in just another sex act. And you are missing out, let me tell you!
This past weekend should have happened to me 25 years ago, I'v wasted so much of my life.
I owe you and your group a LOT, Cheri.
Thanks again.
I may make you FEEL, but I can't make you THINK. |
