Why Shouldn't Nudism be About Showing Off?
Maybe not entirely, that would be rather boring, but I think that looking and being looked at is one of the things I like best.
As I said elsewhere in this group, I think girls have by far the better deal where showing off is concerned. It isn't just our anatomy, it is the attitude of society as well.
I don't think a man could match this for display:
Pamela showing off
I like to see and be seen.
I agree women have an advantage, well two actually. You have more to show off. And men are unlikely tocomplain when seeing a naked woman. I wish it worked the other way round too. How about lycra cycling shorts. Men could show off in them almost as well as yourself in that jumper.
But It's even better without the shorts, or the jumper.
I think we all like to show off, but cycling shorts for men, no way lol... There's nothing better then being nude somewhere, I went to a art gallery of nude exhibitions, they had a clothing optional night, an to be honest walking around in a gallery with clothed people was very exciting, and a lot of the clothed people did get nude. An I did hear a couple together say they felt excited when they got nude, hopefully converted a few people
We are guessing most of those here enjoy being seen and seeing others nude. It's one thing being nude around your nude friends but is a totally different feel when your nude around people that are not, like at a clothes optional beach, in your boat or on a public hiking trial. We are always amazed at how many of these clothed folks will about wreak everything around them trying to take a pic of us when we are out nude and get spotted. Check our profile, we enjoy being seen all the time.
Nudism can be about showing off, it can be about watching others show off. It can be about sex, it can be about just enjoying the feeling of sun, wind, rain, etc on your bare skin. It can be about more than one of these things at a time. It can be about different things to the same person at different times. It is entirely all right for it to be about any or all of these things.
Just my two cents.
For me, and growing up, showing off has been a big part of my nudist life and how i view my nudism lifestyle.Its important for my personal body image and keeping myself focused on a healthy life.
If i didnt enjoy showing off as a nudist so much, then i probably would care a lot less about my body image and how i looked.I like that people love to look at me.
I agree that nudism is about showing off. It is with some pride that we are comfortable with who we are. Being willing to remove the covering that makes us all anonymous and changing into the individual. Life is all about having a little fun and not taking our self too seriously.I realize that perhaps the primal idea is not really about showing off, but there is that voice inside me that says "you're naked and you don't look too bad. Enjoy yourself; and I do........ Please enjoy! I do! Cathy
The photo that follows this was really fun, and arose from a dare. What I didn't know was that my actions were going to be photographed.
It was in a cafe in Italy. We were on a first floor patio; I was wearing a bikini bottom, a blouse and a leather belt, that's it. The leather belt might sound a bit odd, but it was there, quite intentionally, so that I could hitch up the longish blouse so that a little bit of perky bum was on display as I walked through the town. I had already used it to some effect on my way into the cafe, going up the staircase to the patio; I had waited for the right moment and then started up the staircase just a moment before my chosen victim. There was no explicit display, but I think I handled it so that there was at least one person following me onto the patio (and also a suspicious girlfriend!) who had noticed me!
After we had ordered, another girl walked in, wearing a very sheer and transparent wrap with a bikini clearly visible underneath it. Given the location, there was nothing very remarkable about that, but when she stood at the counter to order, every eye semed to be on her; her bikini bottom was in fact a thong, and she was presenting the whole cafe with a clear view of her incredibly sexy bottom, scarcely concealed by the ultra-sheer convering.
The whole cafe seemed transfixed with the view. Everyone watched. Within a minute or so I, and probably everyone else, had realised that the girl with the wonderful bum was not going to sit down, but was intent on drinking her coffee standing at the counter where everyone could enjoy looking at her bum. I was in no doubt she was quite intentionally putting on a show, and that spurred me on - I didn't have many reservations about showing off myself and it seemed like a challenge.
If I am honest, I would say that I had been relishing the idea, but the challange from my table was still very direct; that girl is showing off her bum, the only thing Pam can do now is to show even more. Subtlety wasn't in it; it was very simple - "Pam; take your pants off and show her."
My decision took about two seconds.
I did think of slipping off my bikini bottom at the table, but I thought that might be rather obvious, so with a gracious smile and a broad wink to my table I went off to find the lavatory. I went the long way round, past the counter. I slowed, and gave the show-off girl a great big grin and said very quietly "well done!" That was partly to show her I was accepting the challenge, and partly to draw the attention of the customers to the fact that I had acknowledged her. I looked over at the man I had tried to tempt on the way up the stairs; the scene at his table left me in no doubt that his attention was clearly on what was happening over by the counter, much to the chagrin of his companion.
When I had closed the lavatory door I started having second thoughts. I checked how much would be visible if I did take the bikini bottom off - it wasn't going to be completely obvious at a distance, but anyone who was paying attention would certainly notice. That reassured me just enough, so off came the knickers. I crammed them in my tiny handbag and walked out of the door very carefully. I had been so absorbed by my own perception of my nakedness that I was a little bit surprised when nobody seemed to be taking the slightest bit of notice of me - all eyes were still on the other girl.
That didn't seem fair - if the eyes weren't looking at me, I would have to go to where the eyes were looking. I walked back towards the girl at the counter and smiled again while very subtly tweaking my blouse up at the side, just enough to make it plain to anyone watching that I was now wearing even less than the girl with the nice bum. I walked slowly and carefully back to my table, keeping a discreet eye on my victim and his girlfriend. As I had hoped, he had taken his eyes of the girl with the nice bum and was was now observing my progress with a certain amount of attention. That encouraged me, but I still wasn't sure how I was how I was going to carry out my plan; I didn't think I could just flick up my skirt and give them all a good look as I walked out. I decided it would be most fun, and much safer, to limit my display to him and his girfriend as much as possible - the place seemed friendly enough, but I thought there would be a risk of arrest if I deliberately diplayed my shaved rear aspect to a whole cafe full of tourists and Italians.
The solution came to me in a rather unexpected way the moment I sat down. With no knickers on, my rear end was suddenly in very direct and somewhat sensual contact with the cold surface of the chair. Showing off properly is all in the mechanics, and I knew immediately how to do it. Sitting down had hitched my dress up a bit, and the rather delightful naked coldness I could feel around my vulva told me that it was hanging loosely - I was not sitting on it. That meant I could very discreetly hitch it even higher at the back and use my belt to make sure it stayed hitched up for as long as I needed. I didn't disclose my plan; all I said was "I'll leave first, watch me, then follow." When I was sure my dress was firmly hitched up, I stood up and walked over towards the stairs leading down to the street. I fumbled briefly with my bag as I got to the table of my victim and his girlfriend. That was purely to make sure I had their attention, and then I walked past as slowly as I could. I wasn't sure at the time just how much of my naked rear was on show, but I do remember feeling a cool breeze between my legs as I approached the staircase! I completed the display just as I started down - as I was disappearing from their view I pulled down the back of my dress, just to show that it was a real performance and that the curtain had come down!
Once we were down on the street we escaped from the area pretty quickly! I was desperate to know how it had gone, because I had no idea how much bum I had been showing and what the reaction had been. As we walked I found the answer to my first question - absolutely all of my my bum had been showing, and a bit more! The reaction had been very positive - my victim's eyes had nearly popped out of his head and his girlfriend was not at all pleased. And, the icing on the cake, they had managed to get a photo. It was on a film camera, not digital, so I had to wait to see it, but when I did see it I knew they were right! I had no idea my dress was hitched up that high. It was also nice to see the ridge left by my bikini bottom - it just made it so obvious that I had only just taken my knickers off so I could put on this performance.
