Is it possible for a (married/single)nudist male to have a platonic relationship with a female nudist (married/single)??????? It is possible here;but for real ?  Webster's dictionary--platonic,pretaining to Plato the Greek philosopher,or his philosophy. pure and untainted with carnal desires.

Nudinono,
How are nudist friends any different from textile friends. I'm not sure why you think they would be any different.

Sponta you would make a good politician; you answer a question with a question. Of course we are different:hence the need for clubs. Do you think you could have a real heart to heart with a female nudist friend ? I dont think anyone can! That's why nobody is replying to this topic.

I think spontanudity is just pointing out that it would be no easier and no harder to remain platonic friends with a nudist than with a textile friend.
As to being able to have a heart to heart with a nudist of the opposite sex.....Why on earth not? I fear that you may find yourself in a minority of one on that point.
Regards
Belisha

I have many, many male nudist friends. I even hug and get hugged by them. The only man with whom I am intimate is my husband. I've always has men friends and have heart to hearts with textile as well as nudist male friends.
Doing what I can to positively promote nudism

Spot-on Belisha,
It doesn't matter what state of dress a person is in, I'd have the same issues discussing a personal matter with a clothed stranger as with an unclothed stranger. On the other hand, I'd be just as comfortable discussing a personal matter with a very good naturist friend as I would a very good non-naturist friend.
Its the nature of the relationship as opposed to their lifestyle they choose to live.
Cheers,
Spontanudity

Belisha and Sponta and the others;We are but mortal beings thus subject to our frailtys. I cannot say what would happen to me under these circumstances as I'm a newbie. I don't think either of you can for the rest(m/f) nudists. Cheri you are a queen among womankind(I mean that sincerly) With your 35+ years of experience;you surely have come up against this situation.Even you cannot speak for the rest...because we are after all;just mortal beings. (the word speak should go between (can and for) in the second sentence.

I agree that we cannot speak for the entire nudist world, that is self-evident. You invited us to speak for ourselves and I perhaps crossed the line by suggesting that you are in a minority of one. I apologise for that, I said it because your position seemed so alien to me.
I did, you will note, conceed that platonic relationships can sometimes be hard to maintain, I just cannot see why that would be any different with a naturist or a textile. In either case you just need to be open honest and above all friendly........with your friends.

Belisha:Have you ever come close to crossing the line? I have-some 3 decades ago:when I was young and foolish. So I know what I speak of:damn near made a big mistake! It all depends on how deep this (platonic) relationship is.

Oh yeah loads with textiles that is why I say it is difficult. Never with skins so far because I am usually with a girlfriend anyway. And yes, sadly it usually is a big mistake. There is often a very good reason why you were just good friends.

just have to remember that behaving one's self has the same rules whether you are wearing clothes or not. dont treat women any differently either way, that is as human beings and not trophies.

Calmnude,
I think that's exactly the perception that the naturist movement tries to promote. It doesn't matter whether we are wearing clothes or not, we treat others the same. We have the ability to look past the common belief that nudity is only about sex.
Cheers,

Calmnude and Sponta, I am inclined to agree with your statements. Let common sense and common courtesy dictate one's actions and behavior.

Calmnude...TROPHIES-TOPHIES! Where did that come from? Do you think I treat my relationship with woman like trophies? Do you think I treat women like objects to possess? You MISTER don't know me well enough to make a statement like that! In fact you don't know me at all! I'll have you know that I treat women with the greatest respect;just like any other human being! Bite your tongue SIR! put (R) in 3rd word where it belongs.

I have friends of the opposite sex, both married and single, that are nudists. We enjoy each others company and have a great time. Sex never comes up, just enjoying nudity the way nature intended.

I personally believe that sharing inner most thoughts and feelings is much more revealing of a person than sharing their nudity. So whether a person is dressed or nude it shouldn't matter, a friendship is a friendship.
Heck, nudity seems to make it easier for some people to be more open and honest.
