Free Style Nudity
A group for those who want to be nude on their own terms - without the hassles and rules of organised and commercialised nudism and naturism. It is a forum for discussion and exchange of information, with the aim of allowing more people to "do it their own way".Photos are allowed so please add lots of them - they make for a lively group. For confidentiality I have set it so that only...
Why Shouldn't Nudism be About Showing Off?
Return to DiscussionsMaybe not entirely, that would be rather boring, but I think that looking and being looked at is one of the things I like best.
As I said elsewhere in this group, I think girls have by far the better deal where showing off is concerned. It isn't just our anatomy, it is the attitude of society as well.
I don't think a man could match this for display:

For me, being a nudist/naturist is about taking care of my body and being proud to show it off. I'm well past my prime, but I'm healthy and virile. I still get compliments from other nudists, when I'm on a nudist beach, and I like to see other healthy naked people enjoying themselves. Some nudists have tattoos and intimate piercings, which are like saying "Look at me, I'm sexy". My own preference is for smooth pubes, but hey, it's a free world! Being a nudist is feeling good about yourself. Enjoy!
A great story; I wish I had been there!
Thank you, Dave. Sorry I missed your post originally - glad you liked it. I still remember that day with a bit of an excited shiver - flashing in public is not usually my style, especially not in Italy which is more more stitched-up than France about nudity.
I have now posted that photo on my profile - here it is for "Free" members who can't see everything:

Nudism is a celebration of natural life. Showing off that we revel in that life is fun. I agree that the norms of social nudism should be a little more flexible so every nudist can feel comfortable showing off a little, especially when the viewer appreciates the view. I certainly do and I hope other nudists find my nudity attractive as well. Does that make me a show-off?
I think we are all exhibitionists at heart but you win the grand prize, Pamela. Please don't stop showing off your lovely body.
I just had an idea. How about us all posting pics of Pamela's fans. Of course none of us could compete with the great lady herself. I guess we'd be a fairly motley crowd, a mixed bunch. Well here is one fan for starters.
But don't let me put you off from showing off Pamela
You are so right s- and -b!! There is a huge amount of exhibitionism on textile beaches and you could argue that the swimsuit that reveals almost everything is far more erotic than the naked body. I don't think I am a conscious show-off but I have no worries at all about sunbathing and walking around nude on a beach where there are also some textiles.J(Sussexwoman)
