Who says I'm always rejected? This "guilty until proven innocent" thinking regarding single men is killing nudism in the US. It even applies to single dads at family resorts. Who would think that a single parent with two grade school kids has any time to focus on anything or anybody else?ErrYou do.You dont judge people unless they disagree with you.And the, its my boner and Ill show it off if I want to is exactly the attitude that is destroying it for the guys who just want to enjoy nudism.I know youll never admit to being in the wrong on this. Its just your nature.
What is it with you two ? You can't treat someone else's comment with respect, but you are fast enough to put them down, just because you don't agree with their words ! Point of fact here, you two are not the bloody experts on nudism and everything related to it. You always see only the negative side to anything that is said on any forum comment.
Stoneandy's forum comments are more honest than anything you two come out with, he's giving a valid point of view, whereas you two are, as always giving a negative crappy attitude to something you don't agree with.
If someone sees you naked its not the fault of god or the witness. Its always entirely the fault of the naked person.The naked person has no control over how the witness will react regardless of that naked persons intention is. There is no argument here, being naked in a place where nudity is not accepted is not a social norm.Nudists know this thats why nudist spaces like resorts, clubs and beaches exist.Every time I read a post saying something like my neighbour is totally fine with my being naked in my garden. she even invited me over for coffee I tend to think that person is living in a fantasy world rather than this one.
If you two are so clever of the Law on nudity, then you should know that it's legal for basic nudity in the UK, as long as you are not doing anything crude or illegal, such as masturbation, you are perfectly fine and within your rights to be naked. It does not have to be a nudist beach or resort either. If someone reacts all OTT then they are the problem, not the nudist.
Your so called advice is WRONG ! How would you know that someone's neighbour isn't totally fine with their nudity, were or are you there to make that decision or are you assuming you are yet again correct, when you are not ?
Im not wrong David.I am a naturist, and I practice nudism as much as I can. But I make damn sure I dont involve anyone else who doesnt share my lifestyle.My neighbours dont call the police on me being legally naked because I chose not to involve them.
David is NOT wrong, YOU are !
He proved his point in the comments above yours, so you don't have a legal leg to stand on ! Just because others don't share your lifestyle, doesn't make you being naked in your own garden illegal. You are just being a prude from your own words.
Granted, your neighbours might not want to see you naked, but if they did, there is sweet FA they can do about it, you just hate being proved wrong, you can't admit defeat.

Well you are untitled to your thoughts and its of no consequence to me whether you believe anything or not.
My neighbour is an older, single woman and we have struck up and very good friendship. Yes she knows Im nude in summer, why wouldnt I be ? And yes she has invited me several times to swim naked in her pool.
So not everyone lives in a fantasy world as you suggest and why does it matter if they do ?
With regards to the original post, surely theres a time and a place. If Im nude at the beach or on a nudist zone then Im with likeminded people going about our days. I wouldnt walk down the high street naked, its called common decency and respect.
Could use some of that on this site at times.

why does it matter if they do?
Ask David, he hasnt found nudist neighbour nirvana like you have claimed.
And because of all the fantasists who post their nudity in front of the neighbours stories.
He is victim of the and why does it matter if they do where they think neighbours will be fine with nudity. When the opposite is so obviously true for him.
Im not gullible enough to think, it doesnt mater if they do, because fantasy stories harm nudism rather than promote it.
Can you not see that?

More than one of my neighbors is aware that I prefer to be nude in my back yard and even though I have a privacy fence they might catch a glimpse under certain circumstances, or before I had the fence, if thier back light was on and mine was not after sunset.
A well written post with some equally well written replies but as a lifelong nudist I have to ask a simple question: why the obsession with pretending we become asexual when we remove our clothes? And yes, I did use the word pretending because thats all it is.
Some simple facts: We ARE sexual beings and thats a good and beautiful thing. Sexuality is not something that should be shamed any more than nudity should be shamed. Ive been a genuine, real-life, active naturist since I was a young boy and the truth is that we dont suddenly become asexual when we undress. Its no more possible to remove sexuality from social nudity than it is to remove salt from a soup thats already been made - its IN the mix, PART of us. And it is a positive. Puritanism teaches that sex should be shunned ( just like the way it shames the naked body). Thats not naturism.
Lets just be happy and naked and free!
