Whether you're straight, gay, bi or whatever, who the hell cares? If you're a nice person that's great. If you're a dick (no pun intended) then sod off! Whatever your orientation is does not matter, it's whether or not you can be respectful of others that is important. Well that's my rant over with.
It really amuses me as to why when we rant and want to degrade or belittle someone we refer to them by parts of the anatomy which are really important. Have we ever paused to think what would happen to us if we didn't have an arsehole /asshole and what would we be without our genitalia? We might be better off without our appendix or if one in particular does not like pubic hair! These might be better terms of expressing our loathsomeness if we need to translate that into human features ! :)
Ah, Nudists, not sexual beings apparently. I recently went to a nudist resort where they went on verbally at check in and on the consent form about swingers not welcome. Oh, I guess Nudists do have sex!
But you state on your TN profile that you are gay/bi/curious then you clearly have ulterior motives it would seem! Not sure why TN has orientation on profiles when some mods boot you for it.
Orientation means little to me, what does is can we be mates and have a chat?
I know I look at them but I also look to see who else they are friends with and what groups they are part of. There are several on here that I have chatted with that have "straight" listed but then start talking about other things which is not really why I am on this website. there are plenty of other websites I could join where that is the focus (isn't there the trueswingers site?).
With that said, i do know that i have my orientation as N/A as for myself being attracted to guys is a part of who i am but it is not who i am and i still have the worry of being judged on that individual aspect of me instead of who i am as a whole.

It's easy to say that we shouldn't judge individuals for their 'orientation' but as you point out, individuals do and like you, causes one to worry about how you are going to be judge. I really don't care of individuals orientation, like someone pointed out, there are ass... in every orientation. Those str8 that find bi or gay to be not normal, those gay that won't accept bi guys, gays that will only date with so call str8 guys..and the list could go on, but it comes down to more about YOU. Are you comfortable with who YOU are? If so what does it really matter about what someone else thinks. Are we so 'scared' about that one individual or even a few on here that is going to pass judgement about your orientation that you are not 'free' to state so? Be proud of who you are, you are one unique individual that there is none like you on this whole planet. Once we learn to accept ourselves and wear it proudly, we will be happy to be ourselves. You'll find individuals on here that don't give a *** what others think, yes maybe too much into themselves in some cases, but the majority are happy individuals that enjoy life for what it brings. Now if you are waiting for when it feels right or the right time, then when will that be?
I agree with that some individuals are on here for other than nudism, I state that on profile, but I'm not going to let them take away from my nudism enjoyment. They will go away once they figure that I am who I am, and we are not so called 'like minded'.
It's your life and one should live it without hesitations, we may not accept each other but we can respect each other. It best to have a few good friends that share the same things you do than a whole bunch of friends that don't know who you really are.
Back on topic, I like to know the sexual orientation of the person I am talking to. Sometimes I may need advice on a subject or want to go somewhere or participate in an activity that would place the person in an uncomfortable position. I have also been interested in an individual romantically or sexually however was not able to approach them for fear of offending them.
I am married (to a woman) and bisexual. I don't think orientation status is that important. Everyone I have met on here is very friendly and really don't care. The ones that do care generally have their opposition proudly displayed at the beginning of the profile.
