there is nothing wrong with being a nudist\nI am not a nudist so I guess I don't think it is a "good thing" for me but it is defiantly not "morally wrong"\nthere is no reason to be ashamed of your body\n\nstudent of usa don't perpetuate the american stereotype of being ignorant!\nnot every religion bans being nude!

WEll, i think the thrill is from not knowing if you are being seen or the risk of getting caught...even if the risk is small...sort of the thrill of violating social taboos against public nudity and "proper" behaviour...

It depends on the condition and the situation u find yourself. For me, the most comfortable way is nude when i'm alone but make do with boxers occasionally.

I'm all for it.  In fact, for the past four years I've only gone to nude beaches here on Long Island, and being naked is so much better than simply going topless.\n\nIt's not an exhibitionism thing, at least not for most of us.  It's simply more enjoyable and appropriate to enjoy the beach naked, as long as it's a legal nude beach where nobody's going to be uptight and offended by the sight of simple bare skin.\n\nAll over tans look great also, and it's a lot more fun to swim, sunbathe, jog or just walk along the beach naked than being bundled up in some wet pieces of cloth.\n\nIt's time we lightened up about simple nudity...it never hurt anyone!

I really don't care if people crossdress or not--it it's their thing, then I don't see that I should criticize.  That being said, there are societal norms.  I don't believe those societal norms are always fair, or right, but still they exist and it is expected that people conform to them.  However, crossdressing is pretty harmless, and I think it's a pity that more people aren't tolerant of it.

It figures that "The Guy" would say that it is "overrated". The whole theory of "skinny-dippping" is erotic is because it is out of the norm. Most people in this country are taught that nudity is wrong... When it is actually " au natural".

Nudist clubs do dress for dinner. The whole point of nudist clubs is that they enjoy being out of doors in the altogether. Indoors is quite another matter. Have you ever sat on a scratchy sofa with no clothes on? Of course, if you didn't dress for dinner, it would cut down on the number of napkins a hostess would need, because you wouldn't be spilling your soup on your shirt or your pants....

Teachings of our society. There have been  many societies where nudity was accepted as normal.

Dear asker,\nTo be honest, it is so natural that everybody wants to show them off in the public. That's what we need actually. There are a lot of successes in the past and present because of this wanting. But there are two types of showing ourselves off. The first is the one you asked in this question.We may want it but not need it. The other is the wantings to show off how much we have done so far and how much  we have been progressed in life. We need it.\nSince the question is for the frist case, let me go directly to it.In my oponion, both boys and girls do it. It is natural, let me repeat it again. I am sure they will have a look of themsleves in the mirror at least more than twice  a day. Is that right for you? But for the girl, all want to be exposed both secretly and openly. But there is a limitaion. If they are within the limit, it is okay for themselves and for us also. Forgive me if you think I am so open. But if they reach beyond the limit, for us no problem, we like it. We will gaze or look at her carefully and erotically. But for them, it is really dangerous. However, in this case, you should not forget it is not the mistake of men to gaze them. If there are some parts of her body shown off fully or partly, we like it. One of my lecturer said that if the lady wear almost no clothes or no clothes, this means she wants to show herself off. So she urged us to watch. Even the cold men are encouraged to gaze them. But if she wear moderate-showing-off outfit, our look should also be moderate. But if we look the girls with securely-covering clothes straightly and constantly, it is our fault. We don't have any chance to look them straightly or constantly. If we want, we may have a glance or quick look. It is enough. \nBut at least, we are human beings, we have something happening in our body, which consists of a lot of strange things and watings. So the level of wanting to show off differs people from people. And also some like to be glared while the others don't. So we, men have to understand what the secret rule here and apply it carefully. \nwith best wishes\nthein min htike

I think the Plushy thing or whatever it's called is hilarious. It's where people are really turned on by themself and others wearing stuffed animal costumes. Whatever works! I think infantism is pretty funny, too, when a person puts on a diaper and gets turned on by being treated like a baby.\n\nAs for me, I'm happy with vanilla sex. Hey, vanilla is delicious!

It's not just the guys who are obsessed with nudity.  People in general in many of our cultures freak out at the sight of a naked body, even in appropriate places like on a beach, at a pool, in a sauna, etc.  Simple nudity is an awesome experience, but unfortunately in our culture nudity in any form is equated with sex, and therefore something shameful and unfit for public viewing.\n\nOf course, many of the same people who oppose simple nudity are the biggest fans of pornography, which is incredibly hypocritical.\n\nWhen you realize that there are still many places in this country where we can actually be arrested for simply being topless, it seems that we've got a long way to go before our societal attitudes begin to change to any significant extent.\n\nThings are changing, but slowly.

Yes, families should not be prudish about nudity.  If they do, then the daughter will think its wrong to be nude and that's just plain wrong.\n\nAs long as there is no sexual activity involved, then its perfectly OK.\n\nLittle girls are curious about a male penis.  Its better she sees her father naked than goes out and experiments with the neighbor's little boy.\n\nChildren are raised in nudist camps and they see everybody naked and everyone sees them naked.  They all turn out just fine and are very secure psychologically.

I love it and I love to do it.  It's healthy, it's natural, and it helps women understand their own sexuality, which is always good.\n\nWhatever could be wrong with it?

Funny I should see this question, as i just went to a dinner party, where another guest there had just come back from a nudist camp. She told us how much she enjoyed it, how there was no"leering" and looking. She said it was very spititual and that even though she's not model thin, that she did not feel out of place at all. She tried to talk all of us to going back with her. She was very genuine in her assessment of the place and was truly ready to go back and have another vacation. I'm interested, but as  a modest person, don't know that i could get over the no clothing thing, but this person said she "dressed" for dinner and she felt so out of place with clothing on, that she soon went au natural and didnt think anything of it.

Out of respect.  That is not something people want to see.  And besides, do you want anyone to see you naked from the waist down?

I LOVE this question!  I have been asking it for 40 years!\n\nIn summary, antiquated religious belief systems say women's breasts are sexual but men's are not.  This, of course, is ridiculous.  I say, "YES!  By all means, make men wear tops at the beach or let women remove theirs.  What's good for the goose is good for the gander, as the old saying goes."\n\nSadly, they won't learn a thing from it.  Too many people are still too Victorian in their thinking to accept the naked woman's upper body as wholesome and natural.
