Spiritual /Religious Nudists

Hello from Dave. I'm interested in hearing from any fellow nudists who are interested in spirituality and it religious traditions. My practice of nudism has been very positive in helping me with a better understanding of my faith and our common shared humanity. I love the feeling it can provide in understanding each other and appreciating one another better.

If anyone also feels this was or perhaps even struggles with nudism and spiritually and religious traditions, I would like to hear from you. Be great to get to know one another.
I am not talking about anything necessarily too heavily religious but a shared interest. Thanks.

"Hi Dave, thank you for bringing this up, what a beautiful and meaningful perspective. I completely relate to what youre saying. For me, nudism has deepened my spiritual awareness in ways I didnt expect. Theres something profoundly humbling and honest about being bare in nature, it strips away ego and distraction, and brings a sense of unity with others and the world around us.

It reminds me that we are all created equal, and that true connection doesnt depend on appearances or status. I wouldnt call myself deeply religious, but I am spiritual, and I do feel that practicing nudism helps me stay grounded, open-hearted, and grateful.

Id love to hear how others experience this connection too. Its a topic that doesnt get talked about enough!

I was Traumatized as a child. I was SEXUALLY ABUSED between the ages of 2 through 5 years of age young. I was way too young to understand what was happening to me. The man who abused me was a trusted older adult whom I admired and hung around with. But he lied to me. He SEXUALLY MISUSED ME, and he betrayed my trust. Now because of this, I have an extremely difficult time being able to trust in others male or female. I became a Christian on May 15, 1983, but my faith was tested greatly. I shouldn't have, but I succomed to the temptation of sexual ills. When I found out about the abuse (I had suppressed the memory of my abuse extremely well), I was 36 years of age young. I had succomed to SEX ADDICTION and was already heavily into looking at porn. (I'm afraid to confess that because I'm terrified that I will be asked to leave TRUE NUDISTS.) IN June of 2017, I began my journey to rid myself from the porn. It has been the hardest journey I have ever taken. I'm still tempted to look at porn. But if it's going to take me the rest of my life to fulfill, I'm going to keep trying. I know you all here don't approve of porn.

Please don't kick me out of TN. I need it because a second way I was Traumatized was that I never received the PHYSICAL AFFECTION I so desperately needed as I was growing up. No hugs did I ever receive, nothing. THIS IS THE REASON I BECAME A NUDIST IN THE FIRST PLACE. I had heard that NUDISTS and NATURISTS were some of the most AFFECTIONATE people alive. I'm hurting so bad to have my empty love tank filled up with lavish amounts of NUDISTS gingerly TOUCHING and FEELING me, HUGGING and HOLDING me, STROKING, CARESSING , AND KISSING me, and when appropriate, EMBRACING me as we SNUGGLE and CUDDLE UP TOGETHER. I YEARN to be LAVISHED with AFFECTIONATE LOVING from other NUDISTS AND NATURISTS.

Please help me to find a scriptural basis for this. Ken Huntoon.

My experience has kind of been the reverse. About 25 years ago I took a deep dive into Buddhist teachings and practices. The teachings and practices that develop attention, curiosity and kindness have helped me appreciate my experience of nudity more deeply without clinging to it as my identity.

I, too, was sexually assaulted when I was around six or seven years old. I never realized it until I went into panic mode watching two males make love when I was in my twenties. It was years after that that I made the connection.

Porn is not a very good way of resolving these demons. Only first-hand experience with nudists will work, since modern society conflates "nudism" with porn. Porn addiction is like any other behavioral excess, like gambling or sexual obsession, and a skilled therapist or a group session of people with similar struggles can help you. Don't think that you're alone in this, because you're not.
