Thanks Jeanne, for your openness and of course all your wonderful photos. I, too, celebrate your frankness with your body, and your vulva, whatever its state... the vulva is a beautiful element of the female, and I wince when I hear of FGM or cosmetic labioplasty...
Flora, I agree with almost everything you have said. I have admired the neatness of your private parts. However, while my own are neat when relaxed, they swell incredibly when aroused. I did post an example, mods removed it. Controlling an arousal is another topic, I wont go into, but enough to say that I can switch it off, particularly in public. The only 2 occasions that I cant control, are, after sex, and when hormones intervene. My sex life on holiday is very full, and my pushy is prominent solidly for the month I spend in La Sabliere, Euronat, or Arna every year. This I hope does not cause offence. But, the real crux of the issue is proximity or even just a nude hug from hubby or anybody else with compatible chemistry, I gush without control, this is noticeable. I dont hide it, sometimes I get stared at, is this acceptable?
... is this acceptable?
Yes, it is natural to be aroused in the right situation. While I believe there is a time and place for sex and social nudity is usually not the right place, we often can't control how we react emotionally or from the libido. Sometimes (often?) nudists overreact to these times of stimulation.
Jeanne, that's interesting. Like me, you're a Barbie down there and your open legs pics are taken from a bit too far to really tell the difference - yes, you are open and engorged a bit, but I don't remember having noticed a big clit or anything particularly remarkable for someone who doesn't know you well. Would like to see that pic.
As for myself, as said sure, everything swells a bit and I'll be open easier but I don't think a random guy would know the difference. And relaxed or aroused, if my legs are even a bit apart they will all stare just the same :). I'm sure the guys here would like to see before-after closeups of our bits but the mods wouldn't.
I'm not a fountain woman (don't worry, I'm OK, it doesn't take me more than a second or two to be ready to receive my man when he decides to surprise me) but I do have a girlfriend who is - and she is very sensitive too. She was very embarrassed the first time she modelled for me nude (especially as D was present and she finds him hot) and her thighs were wet almost down to her knees. But in subsequent sessions she got used to having a box of Kleenex at hand and she is now just joking about it. She is also more generously made down there than us - I showed a few pics of hers.
As for guys, I'm sure most LOVE seeing us aroused. Most of us women will also largely prefer an erect to a flaccid penis, although in the wrong context we may find it offensive. That's evolutionary, we have a far more refined palat in terms of men because we invest years in rearing the offspring while men could get away with investing a short minute and 5 ml of quickly replaceable liquid. So our best reproductive strategy was to find the right man, one who will help us raise the child after impregnating us (aka loving and resourceful), while theirs was to impregnate as many fertile women as possible. So seeing an aroused and ready woman with no cloth protection must be heaven for 90% of straight men.
What about the other 10%? I guess they would find it repulsive for three reasons. First, declining testosterone (most usually age related) and loss of interest for sex. The second one is cultural. Since the Victorian period and until late 19th century, women were seen as lacking libido or orgasm and offering sex to their husbands only as a gift and for procreation. So some men must still be under this influence and think that good women have no desire, never get aroused and only accept to open their legs as a special favour - and only with all lights out. Plus, as a third reason, there are the arch-typical naturists (most falling in one or both other two categories) who think that sexuality should be forbidden in the naturist world and can get offended if they see a lady enjoying nudism too much...
What about gay men and women?
I would expect that most gay men would like to see you aroused. Most gay guys like "nudism with benefits" because of the easy availability of sex in the gay world, and are more likely to appreciate erotism on a beach. Now there will undoubtedly be a minority (say 10-20%, I'm just making up those figures, ok?) who will be disgusted (it does look a bit like an open wound if you think objectively and have no interest into knowing it better, doesn't it...) but not so much because you are aroused, just because they dont like how we are made down there.
As for women, I suspect a majority will be upset. There is the evolutionary jealousy (you clearly attract men a lot and look very available) and the cultural propriety. Women need to be modest and coy etc. and yes, in most societies women are the "civilising factor", monitoring the respect of social conventions. As for gay and bisexual women (well we are all, to a certain extent, one or the other aren't we, so I should likely need to rephrase this: as for younger and non-socially conservative women), they will likely look with interest. I know I would - and I'd give you a smile and a wink.
I own up. Hub likes to fluff me up before we go out. Then I always sunbathe with my legs open, or sit in the bar in places like CHM Monta with my pussy on view, big ego boost to be noticed. Pictures here show both, as long as they last.
I looked attentively at Jeanne's last TN pics, the ones where she is pleasuring herself and I take everything back. Her capacity to swell is really impressive and this concerns both her outer lips, which get dark, and her inner lips, which get red.
I basically never take selfies but this made me curious to see how I react to arousal so I stimulated myself in front of a camera set on a tripod. I regret to report that my bits are nowhere near as responsive as Jeanne's. While we start from a similar appearance when relaxed (we both are Barbies), when aroused sure, my inner and outer labia swell a bit but you need to compare to see it and they barely change in colour. Yes, you can see the pink bits when I open my legs at say 30 rather than the usual 60 degrees (no, I didn't actually mesure) but my love button remains very timid. That being said, I am sure that it has as many nervous terminations and as a big one, poached I'm a smaller format, so it is even more responsive to stimuli...
I understand that you guys appreciate a showy display of womanly arousal and this is of course natural. But how much does this count for you? Are you disappointed if you see very little signs of arousal? Say sufficient wetness for sex but not really dripping wet and very modest swelling and change in colour? Let's imagine that you get to have sex with me and all is fine, you like my face, my body, I'm very sensual, multiorgasmic and eager to please... So all good but you notice that I don't swell as much as you would like down there. Would you be very disappointed?
