This is such a necessary conversation. Thank you for asking it so openly.
For me, nudism is about freedom, not fantasy. Its a return to simplicity, a mental reset, and a way to reconnect with my body without judgment. I find peace in being nude, especially in nature not because its thrilling, but because its authentic.
That said, Ive definitely noticed how motivations can vary particularly among men and I think its important to draw a clear line between genuine naturism and exhibitionism or sexual intent. Theres nothing wrong with sexuality but social nudity should be grounded in respect, boundaries, and shared values.
If someones goal is to arouse or be aroused in public naturist spaces, Id say that crosses into a different realm entirely, one that doesnt belong in mainstream nudism. Consent and intention matter.
Were not here to perform or be pursued. Were here to exist, honestly and without shame.
It would be great to hear from others who feel the same, especially men who live the lifestyle for the peace it brings, not the attention it might get.
Mostly I'm naked now as an adult because of being exposed to it at a young age during a sleepover at a friend's house. I was able to spend a week with them and got to really like not wearing clothes. Stuck with me the rest of my life and the more I spend time with them.
I am naked and try to live the naturist lifestyle, because i find it so liberating not wearing clothes, and the wonderful feeling of being outdoors at one with nature, soaking up the sun all over my body is such a great feeling, the older i get the more liberated i feel
Reading thro many topics on here, and also from the odd venture into the chat rooms, and conversations on other naturist sites, I feel it worth asking the question as to what people's (particularly men's) motivation is for developing a nude lifestyle, especially when it comes to social nudity. Is it just an everyday part of life, or is it something that holds a certain thrill for you that goes beyond just simple enjoyment?And where (if anywhere) do you feel the line should be drawn between what is classed as 'simple social naturism' and 'exhibitionism' or 'cruising'?
For me personally the pull to be nude started when I was just a child. Age 8 is when I remember stripping down for the first time as I ran wild through the woods around my house. That first taste of freedom from textiles was amazing. Granted as a kid I never wore a whole of clothing anyway, but being free from shorts and underwear was a feeling I had never experienced outdoors and I loved it. I stuck with it from that point on, stripping down any chance I got. For me is was this physical sensation of feeling the breeze across your entire body, the undergrowth of the forest brushing against my upper thigh, sitting naked on the forest floor when I stopped to rest. As I grew older that love stayed with me, I began nude sleeping at 15, started skinny dipping at 17 at night after my family went to sleep. Once I moved out at 18 and got my own place I became a full time nudist at home. And eventually I ventured into social nudism which has been am amazing experience. It was never that drive to be seen nude for me, but to just be nude. Clothing is restricting, and being a big thick stocky man it just made that feeling worse for me. I definitely fall under the simple social nudism category, but honestly I still would love nudism even without the social aspect of it.
