I have been to nude beaches, but where else can you be a nudist?
I walk around nude all the time in my own home, but I've always wondered what draws people to be nude in groups.
Perfect place for me to ask.

I understand that point of view and that is what makes things hard. Trust and communication are at the heart of it and if that isn't there then the relationship would surely die.

I think I'm to much of a 'touchey feely' kind of person to be around nudists

If you have get togethers, then you're not doing your own thing like you would be doing at the beach. Are there dinners or dances or conventions?

Jill, I'm a hugger like no other and that is perfectly acceptable. Just cause we are nude doesn't mean we are not humans that need physical contact.

There's also the matter of maturity to contend with. Some people are simply not mature enough to handle people in their natural form. They'll giggle... they'll blush... they'll come up with all sorts of off-color comments. It makes you wonder what else they're not mature enough to handle.

With the clothes designed for women being torture devices half the time it's no wonder someone got a whole town!

my clothes are my barrier from me and the rest of the world. Tho I love physical contact... I save the skin to skin contacts for my man I have no issue being naked. In fact, I like it. I just don't want to be naked for everyone

Nothing wrong with that. It isn't for everyone that's for sure. To each his/her own.

Not saying I wouldn't go for at least one meeting tho

AMEN!!

That type of behavior is understood from new comers but it is frowned upon from people that have been there for a bit. It is something that is either overcome or the person isn't there because they just aren't comfortable.

Yes, I could. I think at this point in my life I lack the emotional maturity to be around nude people and not see naked people, the difference being, the time and place I was raised, "Nude" was an artsy fartsy word, used for statues and colors of panty hose. "Naked" was the word used for peekin in the neighbors window and dirty movies. Small destinction in deffinition, huge destinction in mental corolation. Clothing or the lack of clothing has nothing to do with a persons moral fiber or sexual proclivities. I personally would have more respect for a female nudist, than one of the women in the dance clubs dressed like a hooker. The dance club hooker is looking to stared at, and or picked up. The nudist is in group of other nudists, not trying to stand out and get attention. Just because you are a nudist does not mean you are sexual, just like the little 8 year old girls who's parents allow her to dress like brittney spears is a tramp. I could love a nudist even tho I am not one. Given time I might even try it myself if I felt comfortable. I have been known to moon people. It's a choice, I choose to wear clothes, someone else chooses not to.

And whether someone is a nudist or not would not be something I would consider to be an "uncomfortable" subject that would exclude me from dating that person. If nothing else, it'd be whether or not I was treated with any respect as it's the person's character (or lack-thereof) that would more of an indicative factor than anything else.
