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...

Please post your photos!
Return to DiscussionsI have made a start - it would be great to see other people uploading. If you need reassurance, remember that only group members can see the photos.
Please allow a little time for your photos to appear on the photo page. TN rules require me to approve photos before they show up!
Please note that the file size limit is 3MB.

Thanks a lot Pamela for this group and for what you are sharing here with us.
I have to ask you what kind of pic we can post here.
I have some taken from internet that i really love too much, but i didn't know if i can post them beacuse they are not "really mine" but taken from other sites.
They are about nudism and nudity (not hot pics) but i'd love to share here.
Tell me if i can post one or more, or you prefer that this group will be only for personal pics.
Thanks a lot!

Dear Netsqualo
I think you know the answer to your question - the photos are not yours and you have no right to post them. I, in my turn, cannot possibly allow you to post them here, it is just something I could not do. In another group, on another site, I did accidentally allow someone to post copied photographs. When I found out (and that was because someone told me) I removed the photographs immediately, apologised publically to all the other members and banned the poster from membership.
I commend you for the obvious sensitivity you have shown in telling me the full truth up front before doing anything. I think you should feel confident with your own innate sense of right and wrong in determining issues like this.
Thank you for telling me.

Thanks to amazonman for raising that issue - I think everyone should be aware of that, although it does not apply to all circumstances, and there are many other issues to consider. I am no expert, but amazonman and other group members might want to develop this discussion.
A model release is essentially part of a contract between a photographer and a subject, but there does not necessarily have to be any payment involved. I believe that in the USA there is an age restriction which is aimed at protecting minors. It is important to be aware of jurisdiction - American requirements about model release which are not necessarily applicable in other countries.
Privacy laws also apply in some countries, but there is often an overriding consideration which you might call reasonable expectation. If you are photographed secretly, then privacy laws might apply, but if you are engaged in activities which are intended to draw attention to yourself and there is a reasonable expectation that people with cameras might be around, then privacy laws might well not be applicable
Take two examples - a film star attends a premiere of a film. It would be very difficult to argue that the star's privacy was being invaded by people taking photographs. Similarly, a beauty contest held at a nude venue - the contestants could hardly argue that their privacy was being invaded if people took photographs. I have seen a very good example at Cap d'Agde - there were countless photographers in the crowd, and none of the contestants could possibly have had any doubt that they would be photographed, possibly thousands of times. On the day after the contest there was a big public display of photographs outside the premises of the local paper, and in those circumstances no contestant could prove any invasion of privacy.
On the amusing side, I was once accused of stealing a photograph myself - I posted a photo I took at a Cap d'Agde Beauty Contest on another nudist site (I won't name it!). There was a blistering condemnation from a small clique of group members, saying that I had stolen the photo from a website. I definitely hadn't because I had scanned it from one of my own slides, but the self appointed cabal were going to have none of it - they had made up their minds because one of them had seen a photograph of the same girl on a website.
I just ignored them for the fools they were.

Just dreaming about the profile pic I might choose if the TN mods were nice people!How about this:
Hi Pamela, it is a beautiful pic!!! What's up with these picture moderators any way, that this has become such a issue? I was under the impression that a "nudist site" was a safe closed group of like-minded people who were quite comfortable seeing other people in all their naked glory, and equally comfortable being seen in the same manner, as long as the images are not specifically and exclusively of genitalia and sexually suggestive. Surely the members should be the ones to decide what they do and don't want to see? Maybe you can shed some light on this rather controversial topic, seeing as you now have the unenviable task of having to moderate your group.I am of the opinion that those of us who have taken the trouble to create a complete profile on this site are an intricate blend of nudist/naturist, voyeurist, and exhibitionist, and very comfortable with that. It just takes the right sensory stimulation for one or the other to be prevalent. The title of your post sums it up well, "Just a bit of fun!" we are all multi-sensory and sexual beings after all! Does this mean we have to restrict our visual sensory experience to conform with a "moderators" opinion of what we can and cant see and show? It just seems crazy! On a certified nudist platform, this must surely be the height of paradox!
Thanks for inviting to, and accepting me in the group. Keep up the good work, and the "bit of fun", it is great to be in a place where this is accepted and respected, where the inner person can roam free in all respects without prejudice.
Best Regards

No-one could claim that this girl had no idea she was being photographed!
Nor could they claim she wasn't enjoying herself!
Pamela (and I took the photos myself!)
And did she take one of you? :-)Keith
Ho Ho!
That was on my first visit to Cap d'Agde - the really unexpected surprise treat during the afternoon. It was wonderful to see those girls up there showing off - I just wished that I had had the opportunity to up there with them.
I don't think any of them took photos of me, but I did talk to some of them later. One was English, but most of my conversations were in my schoolgirl French. What I hadn't realised until I spoke to the contestants was that the judges were on the far side of the catwalk from where I had been, and that they were sitting low down from where they would be able to get a clear view between the girls' legs. How much a girl was prepared to show them was up to her, but they were briefed beforehand to stand very close to the judges and give them a front view first, and then turn round when instructed to give them a rear view.
That explained to some extent the judges' choice of winner, which to my mind was inexplicable. My faltering French wasn't up to the full details of what a couple of the girls told me, but I did gather that the winner had done a pretty extensive trimming job beforehand to make the views even more exciting, and on the catwalk had been very prepared to get up close to the edge and give them some very good views. From my viewpoint I had been able to see some of that going on, but she was only displaying to people on the judges' side of the catwalk, so I didn't get to see the results of her trimming.
I had gone to Cap d'Agde that day with no prior knowledge at all, but a real expectation that all the women would have a full growth of pubic hair, and that I would see no female genitalia at all. My first few minutes there disabused me of that notion, and what the contestants had told me about pubic trimming made me wish even more that I had known all that beforehand - I would never have missed out on such an opportunity to show off if I had known.
I was really taken with the idea of trimmming between my legs to give a very revealing view from low level, while still presenting a pretty concealing pubic bush from a normal viewpoint. I did practise that technique on myself a little later. I had always been rather hesitant about any pubic trimming, because I was concerned that my parents might notice and start asking awkward questions about why I wanted to do it - personal privacy was not a great issue in our house. In principle that was a good thing, but the downside was that sometimes I just wanted to try things out for myself without having to explain.

Suggestion for the good of everyone,and the enjoyment of everyone too!
The suggestion is that you post lots of your photos on the group page, The reason is that most of our members are free, not paid (all power to them!) and can only see a very limited number of photos on other people's profiles. If you post them here everyone can see all of them.
I think that would make a lot of us happy. I have already posted quite a lot - you might have noticed!
Pamela
My pics could never be as good as yours (where was that photoclub in the early 1990's? lol). But I uploaded some more for you to chose from.
