I do not care if I am seen while nude, but I am not one who seeks to attract attention. My only trip to a CO beach was for the experience of being nude in and out of the water. It would be very unusual for anyone to sit on their towel or blanket and just stare at the water and the movements of other people around you, whether clothed or not, attract attention. So I did observe others on the beach, some were clothed in conventional swimming attire, some women were only topless, and most men and women like myself were completely nude. Someone entering the area or going into or coming out of the water prompted people to look. I watched others move about and others watched me.
I enjoy being nude and the freedom i felt the first time in a social setting was intoxicating. Most of your life, most of us are told to hide our genitals from everyone. We go through painstaking methods to try and stay covered while also being comfortable. Being nude around others who don't care if your are covered or not is a feeling that I crave. I like to think that others feel the same way and they is why we go to nudist venues.
I am reminded of the dance my wife and I attended at MAR. She was wearing a sarong because she did not want to be fully nude. While dancing with one of the members, one of her boobs plopped out. In the textile world, she would have quickly covered up and retreat to the restroom to fix her wardrobe malfunction. At MAR, no one cared. She kept dancing and when the song was over, she put things back where she wanted them.
I'm not going to cave because you are "sad to hear this" or label it "hostile", snowflake. It is truth, spoken by a True Nudist. Deal with it.
I am struck by how some would deny you your opinion on nudism by calling it judgement while at the same time asserting their own opinion/judgement good for you sticking to your belief in the face of the forces pushing nudism away from its values.
Absolutely disagree that it is an exhibitionist trait to go to a nudist venue "to be seen.". Like the previous posters I go to enjoy the experience of being nude (Outdoors: hiking, swimming, gardening, etc. Indoors: socializing, eating, bowling, etc.). And the fact that I see other nude people there doesn't qualify as voyeurism.
I agree with you and suspect the person who wrote that response may not have been to a clothes free venue or availed themselves of all the activities that dont involve voyuerism or exhibitionism
The difference is: You actually 'get it'.The reason to go to a resort IS to be nude and NOT to see nude people or be seen nude. However, this forum seems to be populated by a bunch of pervs who seem to come here to get their jollies. I just don't get why.
Thanks for sharing your perspective I was beginning to wonder if there was anyone left here who saw it that way.
There is to me two meaning of the topic title as you could go to a nudist beach to see other nudist just like you enjoying been naked as you are and seeing you aren't the only one naked that day and, just going to look at the naked bodies which to me isn't been a nudist.

Thank you. I see "political correctness" as a way to control others. Nothing else. When a snowflake gets "offended" (which they do easily), they are attempting to get the upper hand on you. Don't give it to them. When you know right from wrong, then stick to what is right and you will never go wrong.

Doesnt strike me as political correctness rather I see it as an opinion to which each person is entitled even if I believe it to be wrong.
I can completely see where everyone is coming from here.There DEFINATELY seem to be a huge number of people on this site who are just here to see your bits, and to some degree, i feel this is a normal impulse. Who isn't curious about other peoples bodies, it just becomes an issue when that's your main reason for being a nudist, or if you explore that curiosity with other people in a disrespectful way.My first experience at a nudist retreat was actually pretty negative because ALL of the other men there started making increasingly aggressive sexual passes at us. Both of us were new to social nudism, we were keeping to ourselves, and made a point to be off on our own. Men started doing things like blocking doorways we were trying to walk through while stroking their erections.My boyfriend and I went to the nudist retreat to lay in the sun and feel breezes against our skin, not be harassed. It was so unbelievably crappy, I dont think I will ever go back. I felt guilty for subjecting my boyfriend to that experience because it was my idea to go there in the first place.Now dont get me wrong, I'm not a prude. I have fun with my sexuality, and I dont feel bad or apologize for having a TrueSwingers page alongside my TrueNudist page. Sex is not bad, what is bad is inflicting yourself on others. I would never ever want to make another person feel threatened or harassed, the idea of that is repulsive. I've been to bathhouses and everything, and in that context, being approached by a stranger is appropriate, but not in a nudist setting. Not when your leering at people groping your erection staring them in the eye.Its not respectful. Your not giving the other person a choice in the matter. And its absolutely NOT nudism.On the other hand, in an ideal world, everybody could go to a nudist venue and go there to see naked people, be naked, and be seen naked by others. Being naked and having all your stuff on display is pretty vulnerable, and practicing vulnerability is a positive experience. Being able to psychologically condition yourself to not be afraid to be vulnerable is very important and healthy.If your a male, its really easy to see if your at a nudist venue with less than pure intentions, which is why I think there is such a stigma against erections.I havnt done much social nudism, but its really hard to want to get into it when there are so many other people who just want sex, and lead with that.
woofsa,
So well said here. I had an equally bad and eerily similar first experience. I now refer to the guys you described as "the vultures" and warn any fit or young new comer that they will likely encounter this and to take a protective wingman (though that didn't seem to help in your case). I made the mistake of going alone. Never again.
