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 Discussions

Maybe 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:

One of the advantages of seeing people nude. It gives the chance to see a full view of their tattoos. Many are works of art.

Hi,
I am an older nudist and entirely agree with you and your two cents worth. May I add that I have enormous respect for those nudists with various disabilities who are happy to strip and enjoy the sun and the company of others.

I found this on the gallery page.This is what I would consider a work of art. Can not think of any reason not to show it off.

"A friend of mine from France has been slowly adding more ink to her entire body,,,I soooo want her to reveal it all and show pics of the detailed work that covers all nude areas but she only exposes her back, legs and arms so far."I have found that if you show a genuine interest in a tattoo someone has. They usually are happy to show it off. They would not have gotten it if they did not like it. If you happen to get a picture, please share it.

This thread seems relevant to recent posts

Reading the most recent posts on the group, there is a lot of lively debate on the relationship between nudity and sex - it is very gratifying to see the range and thoughtfulness of the responses, and also the sensitivity shown by group members in responding to posts by members who are newer to the idea of nudism as an enjoyable lifestyle.
This thread started on similar lines, inviting members to comment on a matter which sometimes excites intense passion amongst some members of the "nudist community". Re-reading the last sentence, I can see unintended irony in the last few words - the idea of intense passion being engendered in people whose whole life seems to be a crusade to keep passion out of nudity.
So to those who say "thou shalt not" I would say "why not?"
So, why not a photo?

I haven't visited so many different beaches and resorts, but I don't make a big deal of it. If I need sunscreen, I put it on. I put it on the privates. I just stand and do my whole body, and that means I touch those parts. I don't try to make myself hard, I don't do it in any kind of erotic way, and I don't care if there are kids around or not.
If you're concerned about how long it might take to rub that lotion in, and what it may look like you're doing, get a lotion that is very thin and rubs on with a single wipe. Less chance of arousing something.

"The other week whilst on the beach with my husband , I was laying on the sand and noticed two gentlemen walking along the sand towards me as the pasted I opened my legs a little affording them a view of well just everything! .....if I am honest with myself I feel just a little ashamed and very naughty maybe even a little bit dirty. Is this wrong?
Jenny...."................................I think it is quiet natural to show off to the opposite sex. It goes to the effort we all make to keep our selves healthy and looking just a little bit sexy. Guys are usually visual, that means we like to look. What we like to look at are healthy attractive women. When you were on the beach it was a safe environment for you to show your feminine side. I am willing to bet that the gentlemen gave you more than a second glance.That is what memories are made of. That unexpected glimpse of a beautiful woman stays with guys for a very long time. I would say it was a generous gift.

A great aspect of social nudism is seeing other nudists and being seen by them. It isn't voyeurism or exhibitionism it's quid-pro-quo. We know we're comfortable in nudity when we forget we're naked, just acting naturally and comfortable in our own skin. I'm often the first, sometimes the only one, to get naked. And I have 1000's of nude photos in nude sites on the net. Am I an exhibitionist. Maybe. I just think I have nothing to hide. All my friends, neighbours and relations know I'm a nudist. Many think I'm a bit strange. They don't understand but they don't mind either. They are welcome to look at me too if they want. They usually don't.
