Sponta,
It's not the picture (as a whole) it's what can somebody does with it....
You know with the new technology we can do anything...
Most of pictures are nice... and yet some are grosse.... Yesterday or the day before I was honestly shocked by the picture on the user profil of a new member (thank it's been remove) and today, I'm also shocked by the user profil of the last member " NoTanLineToo... Hope they cut it out also... very bad taste...
I'm not a saint but I dislike pictures that point directly and only on the genitals.... I can't understand they're point...
peace

Corasol, I did not see any member with the name "NoTanLineToo". There is "NoTanLinesToo", but there is no photograph.
Hugs, Cheri

Cheri,
I think Corasol is referring to the photo/avatar of a new member that was just his penis. I wondered about that and someone beat me to the Administrator to look into it.
The member's handle was BlueTear as I recall.

Cheri and FireProf,
I don't or didn't want to make a issue out of that but my post of today was at 1:07 PM (today) and believe the photo "of the new member" NoTanLineToo on the avatar was similar of the one removed yesterday (I believe) from this forum board by the "Moderator"...
My comment was only to mention that body nude (whole) is nice but picture of the spécific génital parts (only) doesn't correspond to our way of living (so to speak)...
Again it seems that the picture on the avatar of the mentioned name was remove... You could check with Admin... (I don't know how)
peace

Corasol,
I believe it is gone. I looked all over for that one new member and no sign of his posts or avatar. I just thought the picture and his post really didn't reflect the reasons for being here on this board.
I guess the moderators felt the same way.

Fire and Corasol,
I saw that user and replied to several of his posts explaining to him that his avatar was unacceptable. I spoke to Admin about it and he removed him immediately from the site. Its ashame that there are foulish people like that they try to abuse this site. Saying that, those that do are very quickly dealt with.
Cheers,

Thanks Sponta,
I like this forum for it's cleaness, neatness, kindness and the quality of the subjects...
I like to express my honest opinion (sometime it's not easy... because of my poor english... thank God I have a dictionary) on what I like but I also want to express my opinion on what I don't like to share...
The 2 candidates to me did not fit in this superb decor and I mentionned it.... Thanks again because for a while I tought I was the only one to notice it...
peace
Corasol

I have not read all the posts on this topic but over all I do not share nude photos of myself with people I don't know. I don't ask a woman for her pics either. If pictures can't be downloaded from a site I would be more willing to post them. It took me a long time to get the courage to post a picture. I rationalized it that nudists would see it. With nudism I have gotten over some body image issues. I hope that we all can post nude pics only because we are nudists and want to share the joy of being nude.

Ron,
We tend to think that nude pictures have to show genitals....
When I go on holidays I like to take pictures of différent subjects.... but now, I wouldn't go ane take any pictures of peoples (dressed or not) without asking....
But, sometime you take pictures of a scene and there is some people in it.... The idea is not strickly to take the people but they are part of the scene....
I remember once in Acapulco I took picture of this beautiful scene of fishermen pulling the fishes from the nets... with the sun in the background... One guy came to me and was realy mad... When I explained him that he was only part of the beautiful scene and later I gave him one copy of the picture.. he was then happy..
I think it's a case by case... not two are the same...
peace

Hey Spont.
Thanks for taking care of that avatar with the Administrators. I thought about saying something then I thought, am I being hypersensitive, we have all talked about not being offended by nudists genitalia so I was hesitating on saying something, until I read his posts a couple more times.
By then I think you'd already taken care of it.
Thanks again for being diligent and looking out for us.

Hello,
I am new here. I used to have a photo studio as a sideline and to help a friend who had been let go from her job at a studio in town. I lived on 50 acres of woods that I bought mostly for the privacy to be outdoors nude. I started photographing local ladies that wanted to pursue a modeling career. Some of them were willing to work nude for me. I really liked to make "Nude in Nature" pix. I don't like pornography and never made a picture I wouldn't be willing to show my mother.
I went to the midwest naturist gathering at Turtle Lake Resort in Michigan and attended a photo workshop there. We took turns modelling for each other. The leader of the group had brought stuff for making very large bubles that gave us somehing to be doing in a small area. It was fun trying to catch pix of the, up to 10 foot, bubbles just before they broke.
I have been to a coulpe of nude beaches, but never took my camera. I wasn't willing to make other people there nervous and was there to enjoy the sun and air for myself.

It's interesting reading this forum. I have been a nudist all my life, and find the topic of nude photos to be of concern onlyto those who make it a topic of concern. It's like nudity itself. It's not an issue unless you make it one. Nudity is about physical and spiritual comfort. Photographs are nothing more than recordings of folks enjoying their spirituality and their nudeness in a natural environment under natural conditions. I find it refreshing to share my beliefs with other nudists, and since nudism is a supportive, non-judgemental, sharing environment, photographs pose no threat whatsoever (pun not intended. Rather, they provide a means of sharing with others the freedom that is our natural spirit.
Let's not make a big deal out of this. If you're concerned who sees your nude body, then you may not be getting naked for he right reasons.

Seaquill,
I agree with you. We have photos of us enjoying ourselves nude. It' no different than anyone else who has shots of their vacation or family activities.
Welcome aboard.

Virtually all porn photos are nude but virtually all nude photos are not porn. Most of the subjects of a porn photo are in the nude but what makes it porn is the situation, the pose, and what may or may not be taking place. Even the act of seductively undressing can be considered porn for it's purpose is arousal. I guess that's the key. Like beauty, porn is in the eye of the beholder. But the purpose of many nudes or casual nude photos is either for the sake of art or just a reminder of clean fun times. For some, this may be porn. That's why people have to be careful of family nude photos that may include underage children. For most, it's just a family, but for some it's a sick perversion. There have been cases of overzealous photolab employees calling the police on a grandmother who took pics of her grandchildren playing in the tub together. So it would be best to avoid such situations.

sailordave,
i have read of several instances of store employees calling the authorities with regard of nue pictures, not only of underage children, but also adults.
if you wish to take nude photos of any kind, it seems to me the best solution would be to use personal digital cameras, send film to reputable nudists who develop, or to use a polaroid camera. the polaroid instamatics quality is not as good, but at least you would have a photo memory.

Do you take nude photos? Is it porn?
