Being naked? The thought itself is really awkward and then in public? Hell no! I hate it when people gawk at you. Apart from that, nudity encourages harassment. Don't get me wrong, everybody is free to do what they want but public place is not always a good idea.
At nudist clubs and nude beaches everyone is naked so you're no more of a target for gawking and harassment than you would be clothed with other clothed people. Clubs also don't tolerate either, and will ban people who harass others.
I saw some nudists on telly once, nothing you could knock one out to, they were all over 70 and German. In come East Germany they couldn't afford swimming trunks, so everyone had to be a nideist, when the Berlin Wall came down all the young people became capitalists and bought swimong yrinls and bokinies, and all the old people carried on being comie nudists.
European countries have always been open minded about nudity masturbation and sex at any age! This has given them a much healthier society with much fewer problems! We could ALL use a good dose of reality and vitamin D! The only negatives are what you create. The positives are pages and pages long!
you have hit the nail on the head and a totally agree as you know I've been one since a child and like you have friends and family that have always been one too and some that have joined the experience of it.
To echo what @MlleCake said, I'm not arguing that people who don't participate in nude recreation aren't comfortable with their bodies, just that it can be a positive influence on body image.
@matchrestore I understand but I would personally heavily disagree with the last line. 😅 This is what I meant, not everyone feels good with the same thing.
@CubsterShura That's right, he may not be saying something that is right for you. he never claimed it was right for everybody. But it is right for some people, which means it CAN be. CAN, not IS.
our culture has condition so many people to be up-tight. I think most will miss the point of the story. Unfortunately they will not even attempt to see everyone is imperfect in some way that our self-doubt and insecurities are created by this false image we have all been taught to project. as for me I would attend of asked but not going to seek it out.
I can't see myself doing this, even though I am anything but self-conscious about my body, but it was nonetheless interesting to get your perspective on nudity.
There are lots of places in OZ, even in Queensland. Being Sydney based our favourite would be Samurai Beach in Nelson Bay, primarily because we can get the 4x4 onto it.
Cobblers is nice as well and hosts the Sydney Skinny.
Start searching the net you’ll soon find the places.
@2US-Aussie That's exactly what I mean though. It's all Queensland, NSW, WA... there are thousands of beaches in Australia, hundreds in Victoria alone, yet not a single one in Vic. It's all in EVERY OTHER state.
I have no idea where "here" is for you, but many are surprised to find that there are nude beaches (ocean or river) near them. If you have not googled it yet, do so.
@Red_Arrow exactly, I live in the conservative upper midwest, and there's a landed nude club within 4 hours drive of me, a nude beach within 4 hours (albeit in Canada) and unofficial nude swimming holes within two hours. There's a nudist group in my town that holds skinny-dipping events at a local indoor pool that they rent out for a night every once in a while as well. You may just have to look a little harder to find it.
Some people should not take their cloths off. I take nude selfies and post them on Facebook, but I work hard to keep in shape. Others let themselves go, and those are bodies I prefer not to see.

It would be... but the idea of being nude... it's embarrassing for me.
You can have people prosecuted for harassment. Your naked body is not a harasser’s defense for their actions.
I love my body but I don't think I'll ever display it to everyone. Seems like something reserved for me, my doctor, and my SO.
smart
Well that was nice to read. But I'm still not up for public display.
I saw some nudists on telly once, nothing you could knock one out to, they were all over 70 and German.

As an American, it's amusing to see somebody call Germans capitalists haha you ain't seen nothin' yet boiii

Well then the people at nude beaches much be full of confidence
you have hit the nail on the head and a totally agree as you know I've been one since a child and like you have friends and family that have always been one too and some that have joined the experience of it.
I'd never go nudist. That's scandalous. But nice take
Buchitaaaaa 💜
@CHARismatic110 Charmmmmmm <3
How are you, gorgeous?
@CHARismatic110 I'm good. How are you?
Sameee
Nice take! Like my immediate family, I have been a naturist since I was born. The freedom it gives in unparalleled!
Just because l cover it doesn't mean that l am not comfortable with it.
Exactly! In fact I cover myself more because I love my body and it's damn precious to me!
Is he saying that, though? I don't think so.
@MlleCake he didn't. But we are saying that we feel empowered by covering as they do by revealing. It's subjective.
@CubsterShura True, and worthwhile to say. Different people feel differently about this. I personally love nude recreation, but it isn't for everyone.

@matchrestore I understand but I would personally heavily disagree with the last line. 😅 This is what I meant, not everyone feels good with the same thing.
@CubsterShura He doesn't say it IS, he says it CAN BE. And he's not wrong.
@MlleCake not for me...
@CubsterShura That's right, he may not be saying something that is right for you. he never claimed it was right for everybody. But it is right for some people, which means it CAN be. CAN, not IS.

There's a nude beach close to my university actually... hmm
Go for it!
No people from my school might be there and make fun of me. I don't know of any other nude beaches in my area 😂😂
If there are people from your school there, wouldn't they also be nude?
Exactly and they can say their bodies are better
See, that's the issue with clothing. It causes people to freak out over nudity.
Interesting. I prefer to stay clothes, but thanks for sharing an alternative viewpoint.
Clothed
I've been planning for a long while to visit a nudist beach one day. Problem is there are very few in australia as far as i can tell.
There are lots of places in OZ, even in Queensland. Being Sydney based our favourite would be Samurai Beach in Nelson Bay, primarily because we can get the 4x4 onto it.

I’d love to go to a nude beach
I hope you're able to find one near you can have that experience!
Not any here.

Sure just what I need. Seeing all the sweetness of other girls around me lol

I am comfortable with my body, but I don't think I could do nudism. Interesting MyTake though! Thanks for the read. :)
