Naturism

[Lostinlife]

Naturism or nudism is a cultural and political movement advocating and defending social nudity in private and in public. It may also refer to a lifestyle based on personal, family and/or social nudism.

What are some arguments against nudism? As in a entire soceity walking around naked? I suppose in more hotter places sunscreen would fucking sell out in one day, but what about more casual places?

Honestly I hate how sex and the naked human body has been put on this all godly pedestal, creating shy and secluded as well as deviant individuals. In reality theres nothing at all foreign about the naked body, its completely natural in fact.

I often even wondered that if clothes and shoes were never created, would humans have developed thicker skin and feet? The fact is that most of us have been indoctrinated with this belief that anything sexual in nature is "perverse" or "indecent", and as result very few people in these current generations would really be able to pull off being nudists.

Honestly I think it would be amazing... just be like a nudist for a week right? As far as our attitudes towards sex and general I think they need a serious once over. Recent research has begun to explore this complex and historical relationship while highlighting how erotic experiences within naturism may actually enhance sexual wellbeing and be a positive force within naturism.

One brief visit to a naturist camp is all it takes to put you off sex for the rest of your life, IMO. - Ugh!

The epithet "fucking" really adds to that sentence, by the way. Shows maturity.

So we should only appreciate the human body when were incredibly horny? I mean come on... how many you've been with had a... "perfect body" huh? Let me tell you something... firm butts and a symetrical face are overa- sorry I couldn't even get through that...

Swearing? take it up with the mods - I swear myself, but not quite so gratuitously I hope.

What does this mean? Just because I like a good body (who doesn't really?) I can't enjoy the flab of another beach goer?! I mean thats what he is, theres no getting around it, the clothes create a lie!

Swearing? take it up with the mods - I swear myself, but not quite so gratuitously I hope.

All I've heard is that we shouldn't swear EXCESSIVELY, besides this is the adult forum... swear words is how ADULTS express anger and frustration or just general commenting.

There is a topic, I believe, people.

Clothes make sense except when they don't, like at the beach, at the pool, on children of essentially any age in spring and summer, etc. Clothing on a bus when you're going to work makes a lot of sense. Clothing when going for a swim in the ocean is just the opposite. As for children, the Romans used to let their kids wander around naked as the day they were born until puberty. They were wiser than we are but that's no shock since Christianity was just a cult then instead of the basis of Western Sexuality...

There are a lo t of people I don't want to see naked. Ugh. Not all humans are pleasing to look at. In fact, most are not Do you know how high the oesity rate is in the U.S.? Yuck.

The first time you got your cock stuck in the turn style on the subway, I think you would change your mind about going sans pants.

No. I think he meant that some people are not great to look at when they have clothes and borderline repulsive when naked. Right?! Wait... agh... why must you keep picking on me?!

Quit your whinging!

Well an obese individual I don't consider a natural body (nor an EXTREME body buldier for that), as its full of so much harmful chemicals and processed food. If most humans had JUST the right amount of fat... I couldn't care in the slightest as... none of us are perfect.

I dunno. I figure the wrecked turnstile would be the subway company's responsibility. Wear'n'tear, eh?

[Gods_Mercenary]

Hahaha. Bottom line, there aren't that many people I want to see naked in my everyday life, the one I always do is usually willing to let me when the mood strikes, and I feel that that balances the scale firmly on the clothes side considering I don't have to see the overweight old woman waiting in front of me at the store naked.

Clothes keep me warm, sanitary, andhide some stuff that I'd rather everybody not see (not to mention keep it from slipping into a turnstile).

I have no reason to be against nudism.
I just wouldn't want to be a part of it because of my cultural conditioning, and also there are some people I just would not want to ever see naked.

Like 99% of the human race? I agree. Besides, clothes have their uses - in the part of London I live in, Knickers are said to be extremely important for keeping the girls' ankles warm.

Ha yes, 99% would be pretty accurate. Besides without clothing you can't be strip teased

Nor would many in most civilizations over the last few thousand years. There are many reasons why clothing was invented, far beyond the obvious need for protection from the elements (depending on your environment).

To our society today, it would be impossible and contantly awkward, and society would fail if this happened, even gradually. It would be too much of a culture shock. As you said, we are trained to think this way.

It would be an interesting world I suppose, but I think the point in making that world would be lost quickly. What motives are there for nudism? Some people would say its closer to nature and about simplicity, and at least they have the good intentions. MOST though, I assume, who want this would want it for sexual intentions spawned from our own society, even if subconsciously. I mean, this is the case with most nudist colonies, despite what people will say. It would always a quasi-sexual environment, so long as we have the background knowledge of our current society to tell us that way (again, in the back of our heads). Because of this, the original intention of simplicity is usually lost.

Honestly I hate how sex and the naked human body has been put on this all godly pedestal, creating shy and secluded as well as deviant individuals. In reality theres nothing at all foreign about the naked body, its completely natural in fact.

There are many reasons for this, again. One, to keep sexuality and everything related to it between partners in a relationship alone, and only in private. While some might not prefer it that way in theory, history obviously has adopted this practice for some reason. Clothing is part of a social barrier to sexual promiscuity, because otherwise it would be all too easy to forget the faithfulness of a relationship if you saw someone attractive walking down the street. Not that clothing prevents this, but it certainly forces people to give an extra ounce of thought before jumping between partners (i.e. it attempts to prevent the 60s-esque free-love relationships...which is another topic entirely taboo for different and logical reasons)

Besides, it leaves a private part of you for a special partner, which is somewhat nice, and also brings a level of modesty into society as a whole.

I often even wondered that if clothes and shoes were never created, would humans have developed thicker skin and feet?

We probably once had thicker feet, just like we probably once had hair covering out bodies. So if one were to go down this line of thinking, we would have to accept that we might once again get these attributes--which would also destroy our modern concept of beauty to a great extent....this isnt neccesarily bad, but one must think about that 'sacrafice' of culture.

Common error in thought: there would probably be little to no "Appreciation" (aka sexual beauty) to the human body in this context...after several generations.


I do see the romantic (as in "idealized") viewpoint on a nudist society. It certainly is a way of life that part of us wants--simpler, less social norms and "fronts". The movie Blue Lagoon sort of gives you an example of this idealism. Its an envious situation, honestly. Still, there is no point in abandoning only part of our modern society to return to a simpler form. We would then have to abandon our industrial culture probably, or else the effect would be useless.

You thinkl I'm gonna buy my girlfriend flowers when she's already naked anyway? I can carry her to the bedroom,
