Trying TN again...Midwest Ethical Naturist. Happily married. Empty nester. Longtime Naturist visited a spa in Big Sur with clothing optional pools in 1995 and became hooked. I feel clothing is an extension of ourselves and an expression of who we are. Naturists/Nudists comfort with casual nudity represents an attitude which is honest and open in its most basic state. Clothing can lock us into a constant battle between individuality and conformity of dress. Nudity frees us from this anxiety. The nude lifestyle is so refreshing is that it delivers us from the game of clothes. It's hard to imagine how much clothing contributes to the grip of daily tensions until we see what it's like to socialize without them. Fashion and social media can push us into an unrealistic social status and expected behaviors. By shedding our daily "uniforms", we also shed a weighty burden of anxieties. For a while, at least, you are part of a situation where age, occupation and social status don't really count for much. You'll find yourself relating more on the basis of who you are instead of who your clothes say you are. Clothing hides the diversity of body shapes and sizes. When people aren't exposed to nudity, they tend to grow up with misunderstandings about the body based on advertising or social media. The idea that clothing is necessary for reasons of modesty is a social assumption. Nudity is not by itself erotic, and nudity in mixed groups is not inherently sexual. These are myths ingrained in us by a fashion obsessed society. Sexuality is a matter of intent rather than state of dress. Partial clothing is more sexually stimulating (in often unhealthy ways) than full nudity.
