Well, Betsy and NudeLaura, much as I love to oblige women who love to see the naked male body (especially when it's my own naked male body), I've had to take (or rather have TeamTrue take) all photos I've posted to groups here out of them. The reason is the newest "improvements." Now, I only get to see the first six photos in any group--disappointing, but I guess I can't complain.
The problem is, the photos I couldn't see INCLUDED any I might have posted myself. And I couldn't get them out, either. And that applied even to groups I started.
As far as I'm concerned, posting naked photos of oneself to groups here is now a mistake.
The female and male body has its own beauty. Unfortunately the female body is overrepresented in advertising. Great that you have founded this group and have created a balance. We should not hide our bodies from each other, but put away the clothes so that we can learn to meet again in our natural form - naked as God created us. I like my body and I love to be naked and show it.
Same here, it seems one should have the right to see his/her own photos, regardless of membership level. Joining TN for free is a great way to introduce newcomers to nudism and many "newbies" become committed nudists. Paid memberships would, in turn, include the additional benefits for those who choose to purchase them.
They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder . Well, every body has a beauty of its own and there will always be someone who likes it irrespective of its shape , size or colour. It's important for one to accept what one has and be comfortable sharing it with others who don't have rigid views and concepts of beauty or what needs to be displayed or not. Respect for one another is a virtue worth pursuing.
