Nationality and its influence in nudism.
Just as many other lifestyles andcustoms, nationality and society has a major influence in nudism. For what I have seen, and being originally from Cuba, in my country nudist are no where to be found, and when turists come visit our beaches and a girl goes topless, not only it causes chaos within the young men at the beach but it is looked at as taboo by the rest of the people. That makes me believe, is not that we don't have nudists in Cuba, but they are hidden behind doors because of the standards society has established for years.
Then I move to the United States and start living in Miami, which is basically a place where summer is almost present the whole year with beautiful beaches, yet again nudism is not that common. Why? Because the majority of the people living here are from Cuba and other countries from Central and South America. It goes to the point where I have only found one beach, Haulover Beach, for nudists. But as soon as you start going north away from the major concentration of hispanics and getting closer to more Americans, you start finding more nudist resorts, etc.
My point is, being born and raised in a country like Cuba definitely had a major impact on my personality and behavior, which gladly enough has changed over the years and today I'm far from being the typical Cuban guy, but I can't deny it has taken me time to accept who I am and not be afraid of live my life how I want it. Nudism is still a process for me, and although I'm open and willing to incorporate it to my life because, I have to keep fighting what wasimprintedin my mind for so many years while I lived in Cuba.
Anyone else has experienced the same or a similar effect of culture in their lives?
Very interestning approach - and definitely very valid one...
So far I have made several contibutions, mainly comparing to Continental European and Anglo-Saxon manners, but in general applicable to broader context as well.
Just get rid of uour inhibitions and enjoy life & nudity!!!
It is always advisable to be careful. This does not mean, not do be daring & if you can get away with it, it's your triumph of achievement. I know all our laws internationally are totally screwed up to the very point, where we are unable to be ourselves. O.k. we have made a start here for a next generation to grow into naturism & we need to nurture them, we need to fight the uphill battle for the sake, that everyone can be safe nude. What I hate the most, is to see a muslem guy exposed, soaking up the sun , relaxing at the beach while his 1 or 2 wifes standing beside, all covered up in black cloak. This is not right, nor is it fair, but each to their own.
Here we come to the point of religion," man made",which has influenced us to cover with textile, making us insecure within ourselves, preaching , teaching & bashing with moral issues. We need to put an end to that & start a peaceful, but significant Revolution for naturism, to be lawful.
I believe that people are the same the World over. If we could do an unbiased survey, I'm sure that the number of people expressing the desire to be in a nude environment, would be the same percentage wise, as the population as a whole. I believe that it is a case of some cultures being more tolerant of nudists and nudism. Most of on this site were probably desirous of being a nudist long before the opportunity arose for us to practice social nudism. Unfortunately there are probably millions of people who would love to be social nudists but, because of their circumstances, will never have that chance.
"First of all, Yassrebel, I don't think you meant it in a bad way, but I consider Hispanics who were born here or naturalized, to be Americans."
Most definitely there was no bad intention in any part of my post. Now, about what you're stating, I was born in Cuba, was naturalized in the US, so yes I'm an American citizen. Does that means when I'm feeling out a form I am considered American (meaning whatever the US defines as American) no I don't, I'm still considered Hispanic/Latino as any legal form would say. Now, about Hispanics who were born in the US, I have no idea how they would be classified so I can't comment on that :)
