Want to keep the sex in nudity...

I don't want nudity to be non-sexual. When Im naked, I want my wife to be there, and I want her to be naked too!

I don't understand what would be the great attraction of being naked in a non-sexualized way. To me, that sounds like a doctor's examination...

That being said, I do agree that North America would benefit from chilling out a bit on nudity. Clothing optional beaches should be every beach. I'm mean, whats the difference between a skimpy bikini and nothing anyways? Hardly different at all. And why would you want a sopping wet bathing suit?

I say, clothing when it makes sense (ie library or cold day) nude when it is practical (beach, swimming.)

P.S. Those that do want to be nudists, all the power to you! Im just trying to recommend something that most people could get used to.

 

I can agree with your point that any beach should be clothing-optional, for sure. And also, that nudity is more practical when skinnydipping (no wet swimsuits), too. But for nudists/naturists/whatchamaycallists, being nude is a natural and very much a sensual way of being - and "sensual" is to be taken literally, since our tactile sense is triggered quite a lot, when feeling the grass or sand we are lying in, sunlight warming our nude bodies, water splashing around it, a warm breeze blowing around it...
But all of that isn't sexual - and, to be certain, it's not like a doctor's examination. (Hey, if a doctor would carry out his/her examination in such an environment, I'd be going there every week!)


Being nude for sexual reasons is something nice, too, really. No doubt about that. However, there's a time and place for that. If you wish to get intimate with your wife while outdoors, follow the Nike principle: "Just do it!" - However, there's a bit more secluded places than any beach to do that (thinking about nudist families with their kids being around, too) - plus, you might want to get away from too much sand, too, since that kind of friction is not good on certain body parts.


Wiggling bare toes, wishing you a great time in the nude - whatever you're going to do then,

I totally agree that it would be inappropriate to do anything sexually explicit at a clothing optional beach. It would just be ruining it for others, especially families.

And Im not trying to be a buzz kill for actual nudists...I enjoy reading this forum because I was curious of the nudist lifestyle. So i wanted to throw in the opinion of a non-nudist, who does enjoy some nudity.

Along that same line, I cant believe how many people are terrified to be seen naked.

For example, every week after hockey i hop in the group showers to get clean, but at least half the guys are afraid to do so...They would rather go out to a bar after even, all sweaty and gross then to be naked in front of their friends for 2 mins! Doesnt seem healthy to me...I mean Im def not well endowed or blessed with an amazing physique, but who cares?! Its MY body, why should I be ashamed??

 

I don''t mind if people want to be nude, but I don't want it in my face. There should remain nudist beaches for those who want it, and clothed beaches for those who don't want it.

 

there should be some areas where nudists can go, (like the beaches) but some people just find it uncomfortable to see someone naked walk past them on the street.
(And for the record, I'm fine with it )

 

Agreed. But the world would be a better place if people were more relaxed about their own body...

 

for sure, I only wear clothes when I'm cold or I need pockets

it is amazing how deeply conditioned people are, having clothes on has been "the" way for so long people begin to believe they prefer it that way

Maybe if we were all naked all the time we would grow body hair as an adaptation and we wouldn't need clothes....

 

Being naked in a non-sexual way can be simply for comfort. Much more comfortable to swim nude.

 

Society is such that we must have textile and nude beaches, with each to some point or degree aggravating the other. A beach is for swimming and if you're at a textile beach it is appropriate to wear togs; a nude beach is the opposite: get it all off and savour the moment, but respect norms in different areas. Just one fool doing something stupid in front of a crowd can bring it all down for nudists.
