close ups?

I look at everyones profiles when they wish to join our group. I often see close up pictures that I wouldn't have thought would be allowed. Should this site and group allow them?

In short ... no those types of pictures should not be allowed in this group. I don't allow those types of photos in my groups either.

Photos depicting members and others living a nude/nudist/naturist life is what this site and what our groups should be doing. I think we owe it to our lifestyle and ourselves to project a positive, wholesome image to anyone thinking about trying nudism or any of those people like female spouses that are hesitant about joining in.

We all know what we all have but many of these close up photos, photos of men with erections, photos taken from the ground up between their legs, headless photos with their genitals the focus ... it's projecting sexual ideas and thoughts that are not what nudism is about.

I agree Andy. My wife doesn't come onto this site much anymore because of these type of pictures and all the single male requests we get with either no pictures or suggestive pictures and descriptions. This site is for the nudist lifestyle not pornography.

My question, what do you consider a close-up? If the picture is of the scrotal/vaginal area as the primary focus then I think it is up to the moderators of the site. If the picture is of the body in a natural post then I see no problem this is a nudist site and nudity is the primary connection in the beginning. as time passes and the honest members get to know each other, friendship and at times even romantic feelings may become the personal focus. There are countless selfies on TN that are up close and personal and yet I think fail to meet the definition of porn. Seeing a beautiful person male or female that is proud of their body and willing to share their intimacy with others is great and we must always remember that beauty is personal to each of us. So if the primary focus is on the whole body and not just the sex, I see no problem with pointy nipples on the ladies or even their sex showing, and males in some state of excitement is not distracting and even appears to enhance the photo. As I said this is a site for nudists and all states of nudity should be appreciated. There is a difference between nudity and pornography. At least that is my opinion.

We've all got one and they all look pretty much the same.

I suppose if the group was called Pricks ands Pussys then close-ups would be the focus of pics.

The descriptive group name indicate what the moderator and members are looking for: good examples from those I've joined are amazing Nude Photos, Animals with their Nudists and classic cars and trucks.

I agree with the sentiment posted here - TN at it's best is people, activities, photos that emphasize a positive lifestyle. Now that I've been a member for a month, it's obvious that there is a wide variety of people on this site whose purposes cover the full spectrum of nudity and sexually.
