Nudism Should Not Be Sexual
being naked and enjoying the freedom and liberty of not being restrained by clothing should not be sexualized.prudes and perverts alike should not be the ones to set the deffinition of this life style.being nude is completely natural,yet our society allows religon and sex addicted morons to dictate that our bodies must be covered at all times.

The myth of the asexual nudist prude
Return to DiscussionsMany times when nudists try to promote non sexual nudism and a naturist practice they are accused of being asexual, prudes. This couldnt be further from the truth. Most of the active social nudists/naturist I know myself included have active sex lives. The difference is we dont feel the need to broadcast or publicize our sex lives. We leave that to the swingers.
When you naturism is a way of life sex just becomes another thing that is done coincidentally without clothing. Being naked doesnt make sexual arousal any more or less likely as naturists like most other people are attracted to human beings and personalities not just naked bodies. As a recent study pointed out people who are comfortable with non sexual social nudity tend to have better sex lives because they have better body acceptance and self esteem.
Participants who socialized naked reported significantly improved body image and less physique anxiety.
Public nakedness contributes to self-esteem. It helps one appreciate the diversity of the human form and judge themselves less harshly.

Papers by social psychologists suggest the reason for this is that social nudists/naturists have different intentions thats those who approach nudity with a sexual lens.
Naturist nudity is not interpreted through the prism of eroticism by naturists, because it does not have sex as an aim. Aleksandra Herman
Social nudism is mainly an outlook on life rather than an instinctive urge. Nudists, on the whole, are distinctly more ethical and social-minded than members of the general populace, and they should not be confused with isolated and invariably severely disturbed individuals who get into trouble with the law for exhibitionistic or voyeuristic acts. Albert Ellis psychologist quoted in the movie The Raw Ones
For the rakes', on the other hand, nudity is a sign of sexual readiness. Whats more, they are not sexually closed', but are rather open' ready to touch and be touched, ready for bodily contact and intimacy. This interpre-tation of nudity is in stark contrast to the one shared by naturists. Aleksandra Herman Naturist Utopia and Libertine Rebellion
We need to acquire the capacity to see the bodies of individuals of the other sex with such self-control and such natural instinct that they become non-erotic to us and can be gazed at without erotic feeling. Havelock Ellis -Psychology of Sex, Sex in Relation to Society (1929)
Great post. Thanks for sharing information about this study. Of course, i think it's right. We must not objectify sexually to anyone, and that's what society links nudity and sex. Hopefully more people will understand someday that naturism is a way to self-esteem, and for acceptance of everybody just like they are. Greetings!
Very good point you make. I have been saying that for years myself. I feel it allows me to be closer to God. As God made us nude and said it was good then it should be that way. When we whorship God as he made us then we honor him and his creation by saying the we have nothing to hide from and we are not ashamed of our lives as. We still sin of course but comming to him open honest and as he made us with nothing to hide then that allows us to be closer to him. If we gather as socioal nudist then being as he made us shows the same respect for his creation that we are proud of how he made us. Shows respect for fellow nudist by heing open and honest enough to gather with nothing to hide.
