Any Naturists out there?

I guess if this forum can discuss ejaculate...we can discuss Naturism...Anyone else out there?

I'm more a closet nudist, haven't had the nerve to go to a nudist beach yet. Someday I hope!

while i am very comfortable (and prefer to be) nude i find that general life does not give me the option very often. (ever cooked bacon in the nude? ACK!!!) there are a couple of camping type gathering i do that are clothing optional. it's great to be around (mostly) non-judgemental people.

on the humorous side of this my mother-in-law recently told me "you know you're going to have to watch what you wear around the house, since [your kids] are getting older and will have friends over" thanks for stating the obvious.

my oldest, 5-1/2 years, shares my clothing preferences and is actually more often nude than i am.

At home any other time than winter I am likely nekkid. Not that you want to see that...

 You absolutely must try it someday - what freedom!  We frequent private clubs, also...and our own deck is "clothing optional"...

Not really per say, though I am quite comfortable walking around my own house in the nude, or just in panties or something.

My husband does not, he doesn't even go nude to bed.

My parents were open about nudity, it's still nothing to me to go to my mother's house and talk to her while she's in the shower or just getting out or walking around in her undies as well.

My daugther is nine and she walks around in panties all the time. We've only recently gotten her that far, up until about 5 she was more often naked than anything. lol

I thinking teaching children there is nothing wrong with nudity and their natural body is important.

 IT seems that Europeans are far more advanced than we Americans as far a nudity is concerned.   Our bodies are all beautiful in their own right and we should be proud of them.    

i'm not, but i could be.  i love being nude, and i especially love skinny dipping.  i've spent some time (not nearly enough) on topless beaches, and whenever possible, i take off my top in my back yard.  it really pisses me off to have to cover up when it's hot.

funny story: several years ago i was living on a small ranch, taking care of the horses and looking after the place between visits by the citified owners.  the house was on the slope of a wide valley, and the only neighbour in sight was on the other side of the valley, about 2kms away.  the driveway was over a kilometer long, so there was always plenty of notice when someone was coming to visit.  seemed safe enough to lie out topless.  it didn't cross my mind that the old cowboy from the ranch next door might come over the hill on his horse.  oops!

I don't want naked people sitting in my house.  Back away from the sectional.

Clothes are also for our protection. A barrier between us and the sun, germs, cold, letches, leather couches, ow. Being hairless, clothing is also kinda of our armor, social and physical. I don't want to be that exposed.

I like the idea of  sunbathing in a sunny meadow, on my own, but viewing acres of steaming flesh at the beach has always been kind of off putting. Too much of anything is gross though.  One caterpillar = cute, a caterpillar infestation is revolting. The beach always looks like a big pan of slow cooking sausages to me.

Also, I hate being served lunch by waitresses with jiggling cleavage and an exposed belly. I mean if its bad manners to come to the table half dressed, shouldn't those serving it cover up?

Now I have Billy Idol's "Flesh for Fantasy" in my head.

We have a house full of cats.

With sharp pointy claws.

Clothes are sure handy.
