What about TN

What would your non-nudist friends think or say about TN? Would employers hire you if they know that you are a member of TN?

RE: What about TN

I am self-employed - so employer reactions is a non-issue for me.
But if those of my friends who know I am a nudist and fully respect my lifestyle choice were to take a peek into TN and see the amount of what they would consider pornographic stuff that is being available and allowed to happen here - they would wonder what kind of nudist I really am ... and probably walk away with the wrong picture of what True Nudism is all about ...

Self employed, so I would hire myself. At the Fortune 500 company I worked, prior to starting my own business, a lot of us visited the local nude beach. I ran into coworkers often. Never heard of anybody getting fired for going there.
But people did get fired for inappropriate sexual behavior. One manager was fired for having a relationship with a woman he supervised. Another guy was fired when caught having sex in the freight elevator during the weekend.

It would not be a problem for me. I have not posted any photos I would be unwilling for the world to see (I have in fact posted some of them on another social site that does not put profiles behind a password wall.) Those photos occasionally get swiped and posted on various blogs and tumblr accounts, as friends occasionally inform me, always noting that "there was nothing sexual" posted. (I don't take such photos, so it's not a worry, but I suppose they don't know that.) I'm self-employed, so can't comment on the employer question.
I suspect that even if every last person identifying as a nudist kept their sex life fully private and behind closed doors, the popular conception will not change.

CRNUDE, I agree with much of what you wrote, but want to add my two bits (no pun intended).
First, instead of having the site owner or administrator responsible for policing TN, they could implement more volunteer moderators. There seems to be some, but my impression is it's hit or miss. Maybe a moderators board made up of real nudists.
Second, the gay/lesbian movement a few decades ago was without mainstream acceptance, maybe more so than the nudist movement is today. Yet, their lifestyle has a lot more sexuality than nudism. The difference is the sexuality of nudism is in the mind of the textiles and not actual behavior. So there's hope!
