Balderdash.For the most part, I agree with that statement. :)My 5 cents on this topic.On the one hand, I do not subscribe to the idea (sometimes proclaimed by nudist ideologues) that "everyone looks the same" or "no pays attention." Maybe if you're away from the crowd looking in; then yes, naked bodies might seem to just "blend in" together. And I think most resort nudists would actually find it a little "unsettling" if other nudists in fact did not pay any attention to them.I've been a social nudist for 25ish years, and it would just be disingenuous for to me to say that I've never found anyone physically attractive because "everyone looks the same" or "I didn't pay attention." Interpersonal interactions in close settings/proximity required my full attention, and the diversity in physical attributes is hard to ignore when people are naked right in front of me. And yes I've had a fair share of "oh wow" moments.Now for my "other hand." Let's take for example a nudist friend of my wife and I's, who is considered - in accord with our mutual friends and acquaintances - attractive. She also happens to be fairly uninhibited and confident in her nakedness - which probably adds to her attractiveness. But here's the thing: her uninhibitedness is clearly an expression of body-positivity (or lack of body-shame); as opposed to an expression of sexuality. What's the difference? Whether you're looking at an OF model online, an exotic dancer sliding naked down a pole; or if you're lucky, your wife in the bedroom being "sexy" to punctuate a romantic evening - the BIG difference is intent and context.The point here is that when you come to understand social nakedness as an expression of body-positivity (or lack of body-shame), and unless you're a complete animal; by acclimatization or desensitization or habituation or whatever you want to call it, you start seeing it very differently from an expression of sexuality. The friend I mentioned above: I never thought of her in a sexual sense, no matter how attractive I found her/how exposed she was in front of me.But, that can take many trips to the resort/club, and a lot of socialization with other nudists. Online "nudism" just ain't going to do it.Anyway I hope my post makes sense it was all stream of consciousness.
Absolutely agree, 100 percent. Makes perfect sense and this along with my agreement, comes from lifelong nudist guys with nudist wives that are social nudists and NOT online nudists.
When some home and backyard nudists get bored and spend a lot of time online on these sites, they can come up with some really weird things to try and get people to chime in. FIRST and foremost, the idea that nudists don't have sex is dumb and was taken out of context years ago on here. I should know, I started the conversation when a couple that is no longer here, thank God, tried to make nudism ALL about sex. I responded that nudism doesn't equal sex and nudism isn't about sex. I never said, "nudists don't have sex." When speaking of nudism, as a lifestyle, the philosophy of nudism has nothing to do about sex. I was speaking of its very early inception. It certainly has changed over the years and those of us that still believe in the original intent of nudism, still hold true to the philosophy of nudism/naturism. With the swinger groups hiding behind words like "lifestylers" and sometimes taking over nudist places, most times real nudists get lumped into their seedy alternative life and many think we're all like that.
How 'bout we get off this notion that nudists don't have sex and there are lots of nudists that feel that way. It's not true and it was something a swinger couple liked to spout off about to try and make his irrelevant argument about. The nudist lifestyle has nothing to do with sex is not saying, nudists don't have sex.
Having been into Naturism since 1960, when quite young, the problem of an unwanted and unexpected erection was the worst thing that could possibly happen. The blind panic and flying leap into the swimming pool was for others a source of benign humour. I once witnessed such in a textile swimming pool! The poor fellow, thirty-ish, just dived in. As a spectator, my bemused interest barely lasted a moment.
The rest of the time nudity is quite boring and was not, for me, the answer to life's existential problem. For this reason I left this otherwise quite wonderful family friendly comunity for Buddhism.
Having returned to the fold some fifty years later, the naked unadorned body remains inherently boring.
The joy of Naturist fellowship arises from the eye contact that completely forgets the whole issue within the sunshine and fresh air of the great outdoors that is a well run SUN club.
If we're honest we have to admit that sexual attraction is involuntary. Nudity just shows "the whole package" and there's nothing wrong with admiring a nice physique. Clothed or unclothed, the problem occurs when unwanted sexual advances are happening. A male friend of mine won't go to nude beaches because he gets an erection at the site of a nude female. I have had that happen as well and spent a fair amount of time sunning my backside. Anymore, I rarely visit public nude beaches and prefer to find isolated places where no one is around to gawk at me. I find the sun itself to be sexually stimulating and don't have to be embarrassed or ashamed of a natural response when no one's around to see it.
In circumstances like this it is usually best to speak for yourself. I have been a part of the nudist community for over a decade and I dont have involuntary sexual. I see attractive women all the time and have had relationships with some but never have involuntary sexual attraction. I practice control of my gaze and behave like an adult should whether I have clothes on our not.If we're honest we have to admit that sexual attraction is involuntary.

Do you have to lay on your belly in the cinema when an attractive actress is on screen?
That must be so debilitating.
Im joking of course and if just being nude in the sun stimulates you sexually youve made the correct choice of only doing it solo. Too many guys here think its their right to impose themselves in a crowd.
Im attracted to a lot of women, (yes even when they have clothes on) but I never need to turn my back on any of them because Im a grown man with self control.
