Are you a nudist ?

by **Jetan** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 12:25 am

Nope. I don't understand the aversion to nudity many people in the west (especially USA) seem to have though.

If I am alone for an extended period of time and its not freezing, I shall be naked.

If I felt more comfortable with my body, I'd consider it.

I live on a small island no one pays attention to called Great Britain...

So I don't really get the opportunity as it is either rainy or cold... BUT if the weather permits and I'm at home alone, then yeah... But, there again, I am not a nudist, simply out of Holy-badgers-why-am-I-not-wearing-any-clothes-but-not-in-the-shower syndrome.

Yes, to an extent. I have gone nude to nude beaches, and I have walked nude by myself in the forest. Weather permitting, of course. (I live in Sweden.)

There are no "religious reasons" for this, and I am not an ideological nudist. I just find going outside in the nude destressing and freeing, and it doesn't hurt to admire nude female beauty where that may exist.

Only around my fiance.

50-odd degrees north, here, and it's been perfectly good naturist weather recently (not as if any have been displaying their plumage, that I know of).

Gotta love the Gulf Stream.

Britain?

Here between the Alps and the Apennines we get only three kinds of weather: stifling, scorching hot (hence, clothes to protect you from the sun); freezing, damp and foggy cold (hence, clothes to protect you from the cold); and brief bursts of gale-force winds (hence, clothes to protect you from the wind and the dust).

Nudism isn't really about expressing sexuality.

That's the whole point I'm trying to make, silly.

Slightly related, however, I generally sleep nude. This leads to awkwardness when I'm sleeping with a girl for the first time. It seems like it'd be awkward for her if I hop into bed nude, but it's awkward for me, because I feel like I'm going to bed fully clothed.

Don't you usually get to know someone before you casually go to sleep with them?

Or is it like a first date thing? "Hey, wanna have a sleep-over at my place?"

What do you mean by "nudist"? I support the notion that one's legal ability to go out into public nude, though I have no real intention of ever doing so myself. Does that make me a nudist? I enjoy going about my house nude from time to time. I frequently enjoy sleeping nude. Does that make me a nudist?

Oui, I am... As to my reasons, well... It's more comfortable and I feel more connected with Manitou when I'm naked.

I would feel mighty uncomfortable, walking barefooted on rocks, shrubs or concrete... having nothing between me and the sun with 40°C... nothing between me and the vipers' fangs...
Urgh urgh urgh..

No and why would i be?

And thats before we get to the optional extra of stepping into something nasty.

You get used to it. The feel of grass, dirt, etc. is incredible... 40ºC is uncomfortable no matter what you were. The vipers around here aren't going to bite unless you do something stupid, so no worries there.

Not having pockets would bother me to no end.

Accident.... the legislature legalized nudity by accident..

by **The Skyheld** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 7:25 am

I'm a half-nudist. I tend to only wear my underpants, occasionally a t-shirt OR shorts, for pure decency.
Unless i's cold, then I bury myself in a mountain of clothes.

I'm not a nudist because I've been spoonfed that being naked is shameful by our beautiful culture. Also, I like clothes.

by **Asigna** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 7:27 am

But if our talking about OOC then no....

by **Multiflow** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 7:58 am

I am always naked. I am naked under my clothes right now. Later, I will be naked without clothes.

by **Zottistan** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 8:38 am

Nah, I'm very uncomfortable when naked, even in private.
