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!
Ive also noticed an increasing trend to make single males unwelcome both at beaches and resorts.Have herd of many resorts not permitting singleMales, and beachs were single males being chased off.Gunnison has many men who arrive alone. I am one of them. While it is sometimes difficult to strike up a conversation, only once did someone object to me being there,That was one of my earlier visits and the person must have sensed my discomfort.
Whoever that person was that objected to you, a single male being on the beach should have been told to piss off ! YOU have as much right to be there as he did, he doesn't own the damn beach, nor was it ever his right to assume that you were there under any other reason than to get naked and enjoy the sun on your body.
I would not have allowed him to tell me to do anything, I don't care what he thought or assumed you were possibly going to do while you were there. What gave him the right to assume that you were possibly going to stand there with an erection and prance around ? If like most of us, you are a seasoned nudist, that problem is not going to happen, because seeing another naked body is no different to seeing that person in clothes, skin is simply a different form of dress ! That's like saying to someone (Male or Female), your nipples are too erect, I'm offended , I say get a grip on reality and do one.
Thanks for calling out the usual drivel that tries to cast people who know how to be appropriately sexual as asexual just because the libertines want to engage in sexual activity anywhere and everywhere. I usually return to this quote from a paper on the difference between naturism and libertine nudity.
For the RAKES', on the other hand, nudity is a sign of sexual readiness. What's more, they are not "sexually closed", but are open ready to touch and be touched, ready for bodily contact and intimacy. This interpretation of nudity is in stark contrast to the one shared by naturists. - ALEKSANDRA HERMAN :NATURIST UTOPIA AND LIBERTINE REBELLIONOver the years we have met hundreds if not thousands of nudists, cant say any of them were asexual, we certainly are not.So, how does one recognise an asexual nudist?
Rereading this long and interesting post makes me realize that there are two mindsets here: those who see nudists as able to be both sexual AND social people and those who see sexuality and sociality as mutually exclusive. The later are by nature dogmatic about their definition of bonafide true nudists. Dogmatic is defined as "inclined to lay down principles as incontrovertibly true." The former are unlikely to change them, and it's a waste of time to figure out in psychobable how they got that way. At least that's my experience growing up with a lot of repression from people and institutions. Now in my 60's, I recognize that whereas the world always changes around us, people only choose to change. I wish them all well regardless.
There is such a need for youth and young adults to be mentored and affirmed to find their own way in this increasingly fragmented and polarized world. I suggest that those of us who see sexuality as a gift and principles as a journey be caring, compassionate and generous with those in need of guidance. For when we are naked, we put ourselves out there as the most vulnerable, and from that place we find our greatest courage; both are languages of the heart.
Right but honestly about that isnt possible because then they would have to account for their behavior as opposed to the bogus notions of asexual nudists that they roll out every time the behavior is challenged.The problem is also libertines and naturists do not mix very well. Guess who is starting with intolerant behaviour? To my experience mostly the libertines.

I agree. I dont know, where the problem is. With removing of clothes comes the sexual Expression for everyone around us. Everyone around us can decide, how he want to react or just follow his primal instincts.
