Any Naturists on site?

Gromit801 · Sep 2, 2012

Just wondering who else might be a naturist on the site. Whenever my wife and I are at one of our favorite beaches, lakes, etc, we always take some photo gear with us. Not for nudes, but where we go usually has spectacular scenery. Again, not the nudes, lol.

Although, I dislike labels and have no strong ideological basis for clothes vs. no clothes. It's just how I was raised and how I feel most comfortable. Wheeee...!

I always wear pants (no shorts), long-sleeved shirts, and a jacket, except for when I am painting or want to be shirtless.

I don't dislike most of the world enough to subject them to me as a naturist.

hehe..

Five minutes nude in the company of naturists would probably change your perspective 180 degrees. You should try it. Naturism is all about body acceptance.

I dont mind people who do it where it is acceptable to do so. After all we all have to make an individual statement and buck convention in some way or another and if running around with no clothing on with other people at BBQ's located at private beaches fills that bill then rock on. Definitely not for me though but more power to all the nudists in the world.

Completely disregarding the fact that my body is the reason that clothes were invented, what I don't get is: Where the hell do you put your smokes & wallet??????

I'm more than annoyed by people that think being nude is not acceptable. Clothes were invented for warmth, not to hide your manbits/womanbits. TBH clothes are totally unnecessary except in winter. The world should convert to that philosophy. It'd feel more free.

Plus you get to see all the hot girls in your class naked.

Actually not an accurate statement I spent over 10 years working in really hot dry climates and you want clothing all over your body. Dying of heat exposure due to a lack of a proper clothing is just as common in arid environments as it is in cold environments. Very possibly more so due to the fact people think that it is a good idea to shed an article of clothing to "cool off" there is a reason that Bedouin cultures all over the world adopted layers of light loosely fitted clothing that allowed air to circulate around your body while keeping perspiration evaporation to minimum.

Clothing was invented to keep you cool every bit as much as it was to keep you warm.

Well, as the nudist credo says: Unclothed when possible, clothed when necessary. Even naturists/nudists wear clothing when it is prudent to do so. Protection from the sun, the cold, insects, closed minded people, whatever.

What tends to surprise people, is that except for some snapshots that simply document our lives, I don't do any photography of nudes. I'm more of a nature and photojournalism shooter.

If anyone is interested though, check out MeetUp.com, and you might have a laid back naturist group without the high falootin national club connections.

Just got back from a week at Terra Cotta Inn in Palm Springs. What a great place! From about 15 minutes after we got there, to about 15 minutes before we left, never had a stitch on.

Just 17 rooms, no kids, salt water heated pool, hot tub, massage available (Becky had a hot rock massage), a pretty decent free breakfast, and at 4pm the owner comes around to everyone with a big basket of strawberries, and a choice of red or white wine.

The ONLY thing I hated, was being in the L.A. TV market. I couldn't watch the A's sweep the Rangers.
