What do you think of it? Are there any nudists here? I am thinking about joining a nudist club or something. I like the feeling of being able to be nude all the time. Do you think its socially acceptable to do such a thing?

......are you nude right now?

it would depend on your social group whether or not it's socially acceptable.

I would be naked all the time if I thought I could get away with it, however I seem to have chosen a life that doesn't allow that outside of my own private residence and even then.......in my own room.

......are you nude right now?

Wouldn't you like to know? :)

There's several nude beaches where I live. Also, there's no public nudity laws in my city. You can be nekked as long as you aren't doing anything obscene (and that's where the law gets fuzzy). There's naked bike races annually in my city as well.

I used to never wear clothes when I was at home, but then I moved in with a roommate. At my DZ we try to do a naked skydive once a year. Skydiving naked is fantastic.

I don't think its right, I think we should be modest, but thats just me.

God didn't create us with clothes on, you know?

There's a difference between nudism and exibitionism.

Well if I where to go nude odds are in England I would freeze to death long before the police arrive

With that said I love to go nude but will settle for wearing underwear (http://www.hunkwear.com/hunkwear.com2.jpg)

Thats hott :p

It is being somewhat modest or do you believe that we should hide away in clothes as if to hide our actual selves from even the intimate friends.

the human body is normally not a thing of beautyOnly speak for yourself ;)

Where is it that you live?

Portland Fucking Oregon

Ah. "Where California is today, the rest of the country will be tomorrow. Where Oregon is today, the rest of the country might reach sometime next year."

But he has also told us to be modest. Nudity outside one's home or in private goes against what is right.

I think being modest has little to do with what you wear and everything to do with how you act.

But he has also told us to be modest. Nudity outside one's home or in private goes against what is right.

once again. Nudity /= immodesty

why is it not right? the poeple who do it are comfortable doing it in public and the public there doesn't mind if your god things it is not right and that the human body is something shameful and innapropriate then your god is a bit of a fucking idiot. If he made humanity why would he not make the body modest and why doe he not consider it right cause its a bit of a oxymoron. I don't let my god tell me what to wear cause there is a thing such as free will and following your god(s).

some how I think guys view nudism the same as they do homosexuality....wierd when it's guys, hot when it's girls....

Ah. "Where California is today, the rest of the country will be tomorrow. Where Oregon is today, the rest of the country might reach sometime next year."

Or the Californians might just keep migrating North and ruining our wonderfully wierd city like they already ruined Seattle and Reno.

I'm for nudism because afterall it's your body and you should be able to do whatever you wan't with it as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. It doesn't hurt anyone to see you nude.

It probably is illegal here, but it'd only be warm enough to go naked for one or two days a year. Outside at least.
it would depend on your social group whether or not it's socially acceptable.

What manner of crazy social group do you have that won't let you be naked round the house? I'm sure Mr. Smunkee would approve greatly ;)

I've heard of a nude beach around the Sandymount area. Could be urban legend though.

Interesting. The thought of swimming in the Irish sea naked is making me soooo cold.

Am I disturbingly crazy, or do I remember you saying something about having to tell your daughters not to get naked if you were only stopping home for a few minutes?

Shrivelage :D

oh, but they are naked all the freaking time, I can't be, and Mr. Smunk can't be, it's "weird and traumatic" to quote my 5 year old.

We are "allowed" to run around in our underwear though.......which is good enough I suppose

*runs around in her boxers and camisole*

I´m nudist pro. Not profissional, I dont earn money naked, but I´m for it.

When I´m at home, I like to walk around naked when I´m alone. Damn, that sounded nasty.

Anyway, no problem walking around naked. And I do agree: most people look like shit naked.

Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable being nude all the time. Even in my own home, I generally at least wear underwear. And my fiance won't even sit around the house like that.

But, if you enjoy it, go for it. I don't think it's "weird" or "nasty" or anything like that to be nude or to enjoy being nude. I think quite a few of the "public indecency" laws are garbage. There is nothing indecent about being nude. If you were nude and having sex in public, I could see a problem, but the only issues I would have with public nudity would be sanitary issues. I wouldn't, for instance, want nude people cooking and bringing me my food.

Of course, even the public indecency laws we already have are pretty silly. Why are male nipples just fine, while female nipples are indecent? Why is it ok to show your entire rear end in a thong, but it's somehow indecent if you don't have a bit of floss up your butt? Why is it that I could wear a bikini that was more revealing than any of my regular undergarments, but if I walk around in those, it's indecent?

I can see who wears the pants in your house.
Cos it's clearly not you ;)

That would be so awesome, being paid to be naked.

I don't like being naked. It makes me feel like I'm about to be attacked and killed or something. It makes me feel completely vulnerable, so I try to avoid it as much as possible. I hate the feeling of exposed skin.

I don't think that people should be naked in public, but I don't care if they are in their own homes.

Clothes are comfortable and warm. I know that no matter what I sit on, the fabric can't scratch my ass because my pants and boxers protect me.

Having a bath must suck for you.

theres nothing wrong with being naked around people who all agree to the nudity. go for it.

It does, but I usually just shower as quickly as possible so that I can hurry to get dressed.

Poor Chandy, baths are so relaxing.

I have no problem with nudity, I've always liked sleeping nude, and enjoy walking around some of the house nude when no-one else is in, though I stay away from windows, I wouldn't be comfortable being with others nude.

If it was, you wouldn't be making this thread.
I personally don't feel the need to join a club in order to be nude, I tend not to wear too much when I'm home though (unless there's other people around, or it's too cold), and I quite like nudist beaches in summer. I never understood what exactly is supposed to be wrong with being naked.

Poor Chandy, baths are so relaxing.

They are... even more so if you're having a shared bath ;)

People are just afraid they might have to see fat ugly people naked.

So they say....

we all born nude so what wrong with it

I'm of the "I don't care either way" crowd. Be nude if you wish. Don't be nude if you wish. I'll often times be nude at home myself, but I wouldn't go around in public nude. Mainly because to do so right now would be enough to give me hypothermia. :D

(I'm in the area hardest hit by the snow storms in Colorado.)

......are you nude right now?

I shall have you know! that--well, yes, for the most part.

It might be aslong as the person hasn't indecently become unhealthy

indeed, but some people are born less attractive

Poor Chandy, baths are so relaxing.

I know, but I would feel terribly vulnerable. I wouldn't want to be naked for that long. It's scary.:(

Out of interest,why?I've seen some of your posts and always wondered why being naked/anything sexual scares you.I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it,'cos there's not,I'm just curious.

I'll go nude alone sometimes after a shower.........

I have a friend who takes baths in her bathing suit for that reason, it took her years to be comfortable with that.

How well I know I used to do the Refergeration for Lupin Lodge [Santa Cruz Mtns]
rarely saw anything worth looking at
80 year old man goes to nudist camp walking around he gets an erection..lovely blonde jumps out of bushes gives him BJ a little later he drops his cane as he bends over to pick it up a guy jumps out of the bushes and procedes to BF him the old man goes back to the office and says he's leaving Why they ask
he answers




Because I only get one erection a year ,but I drop my cane a dozen times a day

People are just afraid they might have to see fat ugly people naked.


Meh... they'll just have to live with me. :p

:eek:

Ok, I know there are people who are uncomfortable with their body, I used to be one of them after all. But seriously, :eek: !!!
I never knew it could take forms this extreme.

I like being nude because that way I don't have to do as much laundry.
Although Im young and not over weight I would never be nude in public or with friends except my boyfriend. Its pretty obvious that not everyone would appreciate it.

I don't know. It just seems really frightening to me. I'm not really comfortable with bodies, not even my own.

That sounds like a good idea, but I feel uncomfortable in bathing suits, too. I can handle showers, though.

I've been to nude beaches and greatly enjoyed the feeling of the sun on my skin and swimming naked. It's definitely warm enough here in FL for that. :D
We have several nude beaches in the state nd a few resorts as well.
I agree with what Cabra was saying. I'm comfortable with my body now and I feel sorry for Chandelier that she is unable to relax in a bath due to her fear.
:fluffle: for Cabra and Chandy

I probably could relax if I really tried, but I think it would be difficult for me.
And thanks.:)

depends on where you are, sometimes clothes can be inappropriate.....myself, I prefer clothes and think most of us look better with clothes....

gun=relax?

Oh. I meant in the bath. I would have no reason to be naked unless I was in the bath or the shower. I don't do my laundry, anyway.:)

ar you did not see that post

While I am not in the habit of running around in the nude, that is partly because the sight of me in such a state of dress would cause even more people to run away screaming at sight of me than normally, and I would get arrested for causing a disturbance or something. That and it's illegal, and too cold in New England.

I am fine with other people walking around naked of course, as long as they clean up should they leave any, uh, germs in places they have sat or walked, and don't try to leech off my tax money if they get a piece of glass in their foot and go wait in a hospital to die. There are actually a lot of disadvantages to public nudity; I don't mind it, but I consider it very stupid in a place like this. People who want to be naked within the privacy of their own home are free to do so of course.

As for the opening post:
I can think of absolutely no valid reason why one would not be allowed to do things that all involved parties are consenting in, such as joining a nudist group.
None of you mind being naked, none of you mind seeing other people naked, nobody loses, right?

(Now joining a nudist extremist group that planned to destroy all the clothes factories in the world so that everyone would have to be a nudist, that I can find reasons against ;) )

I'll say it's not for me, I was mind-controlled enough by current society to believe in the whole "decency" part about wearing-clothing-in-public.
Those few times I left the bathroom naked after a shower (I sometimes forget to take fresh clothes with me... dumb me) I felt really uncomfortable, even if my room is next to the bathroom.
I also don't think I'd like to see people walking around naked in so-called "public space".

If it makes you happy (and doesn't make other people unhappy, important part!), by all means, walk around however you like!

(My opinion on things like this in general is that as long as you don't physically/directly bother anyone with it, do as you wish. People that rant "nudity is indecent!/against X's will/immoral/not-right/etc. Ban all nudist resorts" without ever having trouble with nudists should, in my humble opinion, find better things to do.)

Then of course, there is the practical aspect of wearing clothes...
I don't think humanity would have been as succesfull as it has if we hadn't "invented" clothes...
Not that that's a reason to force everyone into clothes of course. Just saying that they at least have their uses besides covering up the body.

What do you think of it? Are there any nudists here? I am thinking about joining a nudist club or something. I like the feeling of being able to be nude all the time. Do you think its socially acceptable to do such a thing?

I thought about it, but I think it's largely out of laziness. the body image stuff is somewhat nice, though if we're going to talk about accepting a natural human body as beautiful, then we should couple it with natural living, not just accepting whatever gross side effects of fast-food and poor lifestyle choices. a full natural lifestyle I highly approve of - living off the grid, increased self-sufficiency and ecological sustainability, and rejecting social constraints like clothing...that's cool - nude beaches and shit like that isn't exactly the same thing though.

as an aside, wikipedia appears to have a nudity portal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Nudity). who knew?

it's interesting to note that, after a few weeks of everyone being naked, you really start to get bored with the whole "ooh, boobies!' "ooh, willy!" etc thing and everyone just becomes people again...

i love being nude, but i couldn't go nude in public i don't think. maybe on a nudist beach or something, maybe.

Ah *comprehends*

Parents FTW!

Yes.:)

My only problem with nudists is the fact that so many of them are old and/or fat.

Seeing people naked should be amusing. The problem with nudism is that when everybody's naked on purpose, the amusement factor goes away. It loses it's shock value. That just won't do. :p

I will paraquote( a combination of paraphrasing and quoting)
Sam the Eagle to point out that we are all nudists

As underneath our clothes we are all naked.

Disgraceful

i have no problem with it and i've gone streaking several times and i'll even answer my door nude i pity the pizza delivery man :p

Thats when it switches around. the whole crowd is shocked when you get people running around fully clothed at sporting events.

I have no problem with nudity, but for health's sake, wear some undies!

I'm not one to go around naked,though.

Just because I'm goign to be on here less regularly does not mean the other NSers won't blast to Pakistan for bad grammar. :fluffle:
