You cannot separate nor ignore the link between sexuality and nudity. We are what we are, and we are attractive and erotic to each other. So very many pundits try to dismiss all this, but it cannot be dismissed, and must be embraced.
Biggles, linking this with another posting you've just made--"the link between sexuality and nudity must be embraced" and then there are "undesirable elements" who I assume are motivated by sex. So what you seem to be saying is we've got to let people express their sexuality, and then we've got to get rid of them. Because once people start acting out their sexuality, when do they start being "undesirable? I'd rather stick with the idea that you can be as sexual when you're nude as you would be with clothes on, no more and no less. Our society tolerates social activities that are motivated by sexual instinct, but we expect people to be polite and not make anyone uncomfortable. And certainly, once things get physical, good manners say that you're private about it! I'd like to think that it's not really different when we get our clothes off.
I know some people will say that being nude (somehow) means you get less turned-on by your partner. But I have seen Molly nude a few times and she is the same sexy little nugget as ever! I think you can only get MORE turned on by your partner being nude more because you get to see their body move in more ways and see them from every possible angle, can’t get more intimate than that! But that DOESN’T mean I am saying nudity inherently equals sex. Just because two people are nude doesn’t mean they are just going to start f*cking at the drop of the hat. I see these kinda arguments a lot from prudes. “But if you’re naked that means you will have sex! Think of the children!”.
Oh now, what happens between partners is their business, unless they do stuff in public and make it everyone's business. If they share a look that says "Wait till I get you alone", nobody's going to call the cops on them.
Just a minute. Let's be clear on what I meant then. We do not need pot-bellied perverts and vision-afflicted voyeurs poking around the clothing optional beach hedges and coastal scrub with cameras and binoculars and then publishing this sh!t on the web as amusement for similarly warped and sick minds. It is fortunate that a "movement", for want of a better word, is thinning these creeps out by whipping out their phones and getting a snap or two, including of their car rego numbers; this tactic has resulted in at least 2 I am aware of having been slapped on the Sex Offenders Registry for 7 years. Oh, they whinge and they whine and cry "I've been set up!". Yes, once things get physical among the people there to enjoy themselves, to have a good time and soak up the atmosphere, yeah, leave people to their own devices and move away. Activity on CO beaches has been going on for eons, and they often come down fully clothed before they get all the kit off. Sure then, they're as sexual in their threads as they are threadbare. Pointedly, I am not talking about these people as "undesirable elements" on CO beaches. The ones I am referring to are those that pop up in the media giving our beaches a bad name. To quote Churchill, "We'll fight on the beaches..."
Is there a sexual element to nudism? No more or less than there is with clothes on, I think. The only differences are that there's obviously less to hide when you're nude, and that you know right off the bat that you both have something in common. Either way, you're still going to want to get to know the person before/if you take them to bed - or the bushes, depending upon how long you want to wait.
We go to a swinger resort and watch sex a lot there. Love it! Watched some guys have sex at a dance party one night!
You will find some people attractive and others not in a place without clothes, such as a spa or a nudist camp. Just behave and don't stare, and give people space.
