I love public nudity
You state that you are a nudist as well as a exhibitionist. I have asked this question in other venues and received no response, so I will ask here,
is a nudist a exhibitionist or is a exhibitionist a nudist?
OR neither of these? Or both!?
I would like to hear from all of you.
They are two different things. Exhibitionists get a sexual thrill from other people seeing the "private" parts of their body. Nudists don't like wearing clothes, but don't care who (or if) anyone sees them. Superficially they look alike, since both are exposing the "private" parts, but the motivation differs.

So where do I stand?
I very much enjoy showing my genitals on camera but I get no discernible sexual thrill from it - at least I find it very difficult to get an erection in these circumstances when they occur spontaneously in others.
I agree. As an exhibitionist I enjoy being seen naked without any sexual aspect. It's just a bit of fun. And as a nudist I just enjoy being naked and don't care who sees me. They are two independent (maybe overlapping) things. Anyhow please don't think nudist exhibitionists are after some cheap sexual thrill. Let's leave that confusion to the textiles (who only get naked for sex).
You do not have to be naked to be an exhibitionist, not does it have to be sexual. To be an exhibitionist you simply wish to be seen doing something unusual, out of the ordinary, and possibly unacceptable. For example being a Goth has been called being exhibitionist, as has many other lifestyles.
You do not have be to an exhibitionist to be a nudist. I have been a nudist for over 3 years and apart from Mar, and my swim club I've only ever been seen once in that time. Other than offending others, and any negative outcome (work, etc) I have no problems being seen naked.
Of course, you can be a nudist and an exhibitionist but again it does not have to be sexual. Done right it can be a positive thing showing to textiles now *normal* being naked is. Done wrong can generate disproportionate negative publicity.
The real problem are the ones who do naked exhibitionism for sexual reasons because they re-enforce textile's view that all nudism is sexual.

You surprise me Gar. You are very active here but say you have not been seen naked outside your swim club! I find social nudism brilliant, particularly amongst strangers. There may be aspects of voyeurism, and exhibitionism. But it's mostly about sharing a common interest, a common feeling.
BTW I also like getting naked if I'm the only one. And being naked where I shouldn't gives an extra daring buzz. That's another matter. I agree that it should be done with care not to upset those around us.

It's not through design Olly, I've even been struggling to get to swims lately. I have managed the last two and enjoyed them, but prior to that had three months where I was too busy to attend. (although on the weeks where the swim wasn't on I could have managed four times)
The one time we've managed to get to a beach so far (which was last year) didn't even count as we were the only ones on the beach.
We simply have far too many other things that take up our time, and unfortunately the biggest of those is work
The only regular time that we get naked is at home, and unfortunately I think we've seen the last of the outdoor nudism. Here we do actively avoid being seen naked as we have very conservative neighbours who we know do not wish to see us naked.
