I am just curious to see what people think. Is anyone here a nudist? If not is anyone a home nudist? What is your opinion?

I personally don't agree with nudists very well. If you have to be a nudist you should need to meet qualifications. It seems like most of the people that are really comfortable with their bodies are the ones that shouldn't be.

As long as their curtains are drawn or they are otherwise segregated from society, I am fine with nudists. But nudists shouldn't be allowed in public places.

There should be a law requiring you to be "yay" sexy to be a nudist.

I think its okay. Unless your chafing. Then clothes come in handy.

I remember building a house from footing to finish inside a nudist camp. It was not a pretty site, 90% of everyone was over the age of 60 and the women that were under that age looked like darth vader (with or without the mask)


I personally could careless what people wear or not wear around, a city in Oregon (Eugene) has a city ordinance that allows women to go topless anywhere within the city limits. It is kind of nice driving on a summer day and looking over at the girl on the bike with her beauty's hangin out. ;)
Until the old nudists catch wind of this law!

I agree.

Yet, this is most definitely the wrong approach. Society has embedded in our minds what "attractive" and "sexy" are, thus we cannot truly say that some people are ugly while others are not. You are only going by society's developed standards when you do this.

But imagine a 60-year-old, 300 pound man walking down the street in the nude. Who wants to see that?

OH plz, nudists are ok i mean better a nudist than a bad fashion taste i believe... :cool:

They threaten the clothes industry, so I can't say I have a problem with them. If they threaten an industry famous for child labor, how bad can they be?

I know! I said "I agree." It's just that it's wrong to judge like that, because you're only going by society's standards, which aren't necessarily correct.

good point :)

I don't like it how society is always thinking about looks, but I think everyone being in the nude would make matters worse. With clothes to cover up a lot of flaws people don't have to deal with that.

The American government doesn't approve of child labour, they must be good.

Oh yah open nudity laws promote rape, pedophilia etc.

i'm a "home nudist" i suppose, since i prefer to not wear clothes or to wear very few clothes when i am around the house, and i sleep in the buff. of course, i live alone, so that makes it a bit different from being a real nudist; i don't ever feel like going out in public nude, for instance.

Sizist. ;)

By the way if you dont like it dont look at it...

"I agree. Yet, this is most definitely the wrong approach. Society has embedded in our minds what "attractive" and "sexy" are, thus we cannot truly say that some people are ugly while others are not. You are only going by society's developed standards when you do this. "

Well then society has got it right! Im sorry but I would much rather have to look at ashley judd nude over rosanne barr.

But I do know what you are saying, I have a friend that is a somoan, and he drools over every Blob on earth, its just the way of your upbringing I guess?

Well, if everybody walked around nude, then sexuality would cease to be an issue, and perhaps flaws wouldn't be as noticeable.

Oh yah open nudity laws promote rape, pedophilia etc.

Really? Got any statistics handy, or it is just your opinion?

Maybe if nudity was allowed there wouldn't be so many obese people since it is clear that people dont want to look bad naked...

Oh and this just came to my mind, if nudity was a law, then sexual stimulation would be harder therefore less STDs...

Nudist is as Nudist does.

That being said, at least it's a way to keep guys from exaggerating their penis size. Men's showers at the gym = the great equalizer.

Nudists are great. It must feel so free to function without clothes. The human body is an art form....really a magnificent animal thing. Modern societies have really created a situation where the naked body has been either exploited or rebuked. We should all be nude more often.

Men showers... hum... you're right, by the way i do feel a little unconfortable in those...

Hey, i swim...which means i wear those nice little speedos (although i might mention i dont look too bad in them) and when i see these old guys walking around the YMCA locker room with no clothes on, i might puke...i would hate to see them walking around like the grocery store!

Whoever it was who posted that nudity promotes rape, I'll have to disagree with them.

Patriarchy promotes rape.

YMCA!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!! LOL!!!! that was a good laugh thx

Men showers... hum... you're right, by the way i do feel a little unconfortable in those...

Heh ... they can be a little overwhelming if you're not used to them. People tend to look upon me as somewhat of a freak because I work in my garden wearing little more than a loin cloth - much the same way my ancestors did.

Offensive or not, it beats the hell out of toiling in the fields while wearing jeans in a Texas August! But, then, I'm pretty isolated.

And why in the world cant we appreciate bodies of all shapes and sizes? Large, small, slim, muscular, heavy....it shouldnt matter. Theres something interesting, unique, and attractive in everyone's body.

Oh I dunno ... something about standing naked at the butcher and asking for a nice pork tenderloin might be hilarious.

hum... did we offend you in any of our posts m8... if we did plz tell us (seriously)

Not at all.
I guess you could say I'm just trying to fish out anyone who is offensive.

Nudist Here! I also work as a nude model Finding myself amused at the postings. Like everything else nudity has it's place. Personally I don't like going around BUTT naked unless I have a towel to sit on. More of a sanitary issue than modesty, which is what I would worry a lot more about than what folks look like. But I do love letting the "girls" free.

It's them Right Wing Nutty Christians that say the human body is bad... God says it's good, in fact he wants you to be naked :)

not a nudist >_>

About the comments about how nudism damages the clothing industry. I happen to be related to some people who are high up in that industry, for instance the President of Abercrombie, and they don't use child labor as much as u think, that is more of a sports wear or shoe companies approach.

[QUOTE=The Island of Rose]It's them Right Wing Nutty Christians that say the human body is bad... God says it's good, in fact he wants you to be naked :)

Amen, brother...

Amen, brother...

Now let's see if we can convince them...

Notice how he mentions "they dont use child labor AS MUCH as u think" this proves the point...

them? u mean Right Wing Nutty Christians?? forget it m8

The only problem that I have wth nudity is that if people walk around naked all day, there won't be any point to streaking anymore. :(

As well as that, seeing someone naked would no longer be a special occurrence.

Why is it that all nudists are people that we don't want to see naked?

Public nudity would be the greatest thing ever for hormone crazed teenagers everywhere. Although it would lead to some awkward moments in school.

You just don't "hang" out with the right people.

nudist

I would have to say that a lot of the nudist I know might not be playboy material but a lot of them are. But then there are a lot of young people going Wicca these days and that often includes nude rituals. Again something done in private....go figure.

AHHHHHHHHH! the Benefets of being homeschooled

MY GOD, MAN!!! HE'S A PERVERT -- HE'S WEARING CLOTHES!!!!

So true, a guy gets a boner when a girl passes by, eh, how are ya gonna hide that? Or a girl rubs her boobs against somebody else's face. Oy, and why do I imagine that there will be promiscious sex everywhere? Bleh... that's me Catholic upbringing at work.

I personally think that it would be fun to be a nudist. If you think about it if you do somthing naked it is much more fun for instance swimming. Skinny dipping is 10 times more fun than swimming in clothes.
