Home nudist is somebody who is nude at home most of the time. That includes the garden. They could invite friends to share their garden and home as many do. Trying to require a specific definition is none sense.The idea of freedom to be nude and feel comfortable would be my definition if I was forced to provide one. Calling oneself a home nudist briefly describes ones situation whatever the reason, for example, a person might have mobility problems which mean people can only be nude at home, nobody wants a definition which excludes those with mobility problems.
I see a lot of people saying there basically needs to be a social aspect for them to be a "real nudist". I have to disagree, I've spent time at blacks beach, I could not make the trek now with my back issues. I've been with others swimming nude in rivers and pools and hot tubs. But as I don't get out there anymore because of a back injury and spinal damage, as many would say, I'm not a nudist anymore. By definition in the Oxford dictionary, a nudist is "noun: a person who goes naked where possible in designated or appropriate areas". So, with this definition in mind, and I live my life nude basically 24/7/365 and I am nude where ever possible doesn't that make me a nudist, or do I have to be with other people (like chatting with my neighbors while nude or being nude while visiting friends are here). Point is, just because I'm not physically able to trek the long distances required to reach a nude beach anymore or have a nudist friend that will walk a trail, (which i miss immensely ) at a pace that I can handle, that doesn't mean I'm not a nudist anymore.
I'm guessing that the idea that nudism is mainly/only a social activity and not, for example, a personal ideology that might be practiced solo, reflects the influence of resorts -- organizations and businesses devoted to social activity -- as gatekeepers of nudism. Not that that's how resorts see themselves, but to some of their customers, a resort is the only place where they can really be a nudist.I see a lot of people saying there basically needs to be a social aspect for them to be a "real nudist".

We live in Massachusetts where going nude anywhere other than the protected property of a resort risks arrest, which can land you on the sex offender list. It just isn't worth it. So, other than while at home, a resort IS the only place where we can really be a nudist here. We do get to public land elsewhere (mainly to beaches) but not in MA.

In my personal opinion, and from interacting with the so called "nudists", you know, the ones perfectly content at home and in front of their computer, never leaving the house... unless you live it and breath it on a daily, and going out in public/nature interacting with others that are also nude, your nowhere close to being able to call yourself one. taking a few selfies of yourself in your home does not qualify. Far too many wanna bees out there that talk the talk, but NEVER show up to walk the walk.
