Yes, all these are true for me also. And it increased my nudist sphere many-fold.

I was a nudist practically before joining truenudists and after joining truenudists it makes me theorotical too about nudism....

negatively...
sometimes logging to TN becomes addiction....then you have to struggle hard to restrict yourself from doing this....otherwise it kills productive time.

Another negative impact -
previously when I was nude in nature I was all by my self. There was no desire to take pictures. But after I joined TN...sharing those moments have become a priority over to just being in those moments and enjoying. So taking snaps become a compulsion...and sometimes if I could not take pictures...a sense of incompleteness engulfed me.

Exactly so. So for self regulation, i have made a rule to not to log in to TN, using my mobile.
Not to spend more than half hour in TN during my most productive time in the day.
Being to TN during leisure time.

On positive side - it has widened the world of fantasy. And when I find that my inner most fantasy is not exclusively mine but there are people who share the same - a sense of bonding develops immediately.
I feel most importatntly, we use this space for sharing thoughts/experiences etc. And it helps one to become more expressive. More I share more I feel myself light and free.

I joined TN when I started being a nudist for real. I'd been tinkering with it for most of my life but never really got into it until I joined TN. The others here and the groups gave me every encouragement. I also found details of some nudist guesthouses here on TN. Within months I was off on my first nude holiday, not knowing what to expect. I got such a warm welcome I have never looked back and have several nude holidays each year. The guest house have become close friends and I have made other friends there. I've also made real nude friends through TN - ones I meet face to face or go on holiday with.
In short without TN I probably wouldn't be as naked as often as I am now.

The site has lead to many new contacts. Some just a "Hi, love your pics" and others to the exchange of many messages and the sharing of experiences and ideas. The biggest impact is actually arranging to meet with other members or finding other members at resorts or beaches and that a few have lead to very close relationships.
