RE: Naked people thinking they are Nudists!

As I read through the responses to the question/topic, I can't help but think; therein lies the problem with labels. Our society seems to think if you label someone or an activity/lifestyle, you can generalize about it or them in the entirety. Perhaps we need to stop thinking in the box and start thinking outside of the box!

Naked is a state, nudist is a state of mind. A nudist prefers being naked.

If it's a naked duck - it's dinner.

I actually began giving this topic some deep meaningful thought today as well. The best I've come up with so far is a different question: "Are we nudists or just VERY well behaved exhibitionists and voyeurs?"
I often answer these questions with the general remark that everyone is entitled to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.....as long as it does not infringe upon other's right to the same."

For me, my practice of nudism is basically things I would normally do only naked. But also where it is legally and socially acceptable to be naked. And even when it is legal and socially acceptable to be naked, one must abide by the rules and social etiquette of the location where they are nude.

I'm not sure if there is a clear answer to this question.
It really all depends on what the words "nudist", "naturist", "nude" and "naked" mean to you.
for me personally I find I am a home/ closet nudist/ naturist. My reasoning behind that is because I first and foremost prefer to be completely nude. I enjoy the freedom of being clothes free and I find myself nude whenever I can be. At this moment I'm not sure if I'm a nudist or naturist. From looking up definitions of the two it seems I'm a little of both. I like being nude/ naked but am only that way when I can be, but I would like to live that way if it were possible. I say I'm a home or closet nudist because I'm mostly naked/ nude in the confines of my home rather than a social setting. Also, there are only a select few friends that know about my interest in non sexual nudity.
sorry for not really answering your question but i hope this helps
