What do you think of nudists?

[TheStinger]

I didn't seriously think you actually thought all nudists must be "leftists"

[Solly]

Well it's irrational.
So are lefties.

Therefore.

If they're comfortable with it, and they're in a nudist resort where no-one is going to bat an eyelid, I don't see what the problem is...

[Kaak]

hmm...b12 helps too. It naturally raises the metabolism...

[Pekka]

Azazel, I can make you a program, weight loss guaranteed if you follow it through. I used the same one, and man I'm telling you I was getting obese! Worked like charm, only took 6 months of rigorous training and diet plus after that I got into army, so that contributed a little.

About nudism.. nothing wrong with that.. So what if people want to be naked in nature. It feels good. It's like little kids, they don't care running nude outside. It's just some problem adults make for no reason. Being naked is natural, it's fun. It's not fun if you take lots of pressures and don't want to be naked. But then the problem is in your head. Just get naked with bunch of buddies, it's cool. Nothing sexual in it. No one cares if you have extra weight?!! So what! It means you have better income than the majority in this planet and are in good health! You survive longer if there is no food. Just let it go man.. forget about it. Especially in places where people are nude, really, they do not care about it. Nothing wrong with it, and if people say it's wrong somehow.. they must have some serious issues. Why someone has problems if other people want to be naked in private areas? Beats me. They must think it's all sexual and stuff. But basically, it's their problem.

I remember a thread here at 'poly from a year or so back. Supposedly the thread starter was a nudist who was upset because people staired at him and his girlfriend when they went out in public nude.

It had to be a troll but never the less it was classic stuff and he hooked all the puritans here at 'poly.

I have tried it and in the beginning it was, lets say, odd. After some time I got quite comfy. It would take a lot of time to be completely "free" but I have to say, it was an interesting experience. Why people do it is probably a very individual thing. Exhibitionism, feeling free, breaking down communication barriers....
For me definately not a sexual thing although I can imagine for many it is.

[Dinner]

So what communication barriers were broken down? I suppose a girl could tell if I guy was in to her or not just by looking down but I really don't count that as improved communication.

[Caligastia]

I think it must de-sensitise a person to nudity. They must have trouble getting turned on by seeing their naked spouse.

[Daz]

Well, Oerdin , physical appearance is a huuuge comunications barrier with most people. By being completely naked, there is nothing to hide, so people tend to be more open to communication. Nobody's perfect, and by seeing that, an imperfect person may open up more freely.
It is of course what the people who tried say, so you'll have to try it out for yourself to know for sure!

It's not (only) about boobs and "the other thing" and "the other male thing", dammit

[Caligastia]

What happens if a nudist gets a boner? Does he try to hide it?

[Daz]

heh, only rookies get a boner
In fact thats how you'll recognize Oerdin after he takes my above mentioned advice

Nudism is great, but only if its limited to people of college age like at wes's bi-annual naked parties

... how is nudity irrational? If weather does not prevent one from being naked how can there possibly be anything wrong with it? An actual, rational explanation for your statement would be greatly appreciated.
