Absolute Naturists What brought you here?
| Absolute Naturists is one of the fastest growing groups on Nudist Clubhouse. Your interest in the group and the topics is appreciated. To better understand what our group member's interests are, please answer the following question: What brought you to become a member of Absolute Naturists and what future topics would be of interest to you? | |
| I liked the variety of topics. I like that you have a nice mix of folks here. | |
| I checked it out and saw some very interesting topics in which I hope to engage. I am new to Nudist Clubhouse so will probably take some time and lurking before I become a frequent poster though I did hit some today already. I think it is a very eclectic thread which gives us a lot of scope to discuss topics of interest. | |
| I entered this group because I am what some in my nudist resort call "die hard" nudists. We truly do whatever we can to be naked as much as possible. Or, when in public, wear as little clothes as possible. I like hearing what others have to say about there "escapades" of being naked around their homes or in public. | |
| The name of the group intriqued me...."Absolute Naturist." I'd have to say that aside from the fact that we don't live in a nudist resort or club...I am an Absolute Naturist/nudist. I wear clothes on a "have to" basis....only when I "have to." When I do go out and wear clothes...it's minimal and based on the weather. I'm not going to wear a pair of loose shorts and shirt in cold weather. Wearing something doesn't make you less a nudist but maybe a consciencious nudist. Being nude around others that aren't nudists....only make them feel uncomfortable so...I won't do that to make my point. There are plenty of times when the opportunity arises and we can be nude with mixed company that isn't nude and before we know it...they are either topless (female) or completely nude. So...what brought me here? For one...the name of the group. For another...I've read lots of what SunBunny has posted and not only agree with what she has to say but enjoy her ability and willingness to get people involved in conversation about this lifestyle. This is a good group and has a variety of topics that are of interest and it seems to have several people posting daily...which is also a plus. | |
| Thank you Fireprof, and all you other super members who have posted on Absolute Naturists. I think we have a really good mix of people in this group and many of the posts are very honest and thought provoking... GOOD JOB! NudistCowboy and I apprecite your honesty and helpfulness in making this group beneficial to all of you. We will continue to do our best to make it interesting. Tell us more about what brought you here and what subjects you would like to see added. | |
| Saw the Name of the group. Try to be nude 24/7 weather dictating at home and at local resorts with the wife. | |
| My computer brought me here. I too, saw the title and thought it sounded like an interesting group and also I have read some posts of members here on other groups enjoyed their thought processes and enjoy the varied topics of conversation here. | |
| I guess the name intrigued me the most, and I felt that given the choice I would be nude 24-7 anywhere and everywhere. | |
| Interesting discussion topics | |
| What brought me specifially to this site was the signup to win a nude cruise way back when the site first went online. I signed up, and didn't do anything else for a long time, then came back just recently to check it out, and notice it had grown significantly and that there are regular conversations on here now, so I participate in the conversations. | |
| I wish everyday things could be done in the nude without being judged as offensive, like checking the mailbox or taking out the trash. It only takes a minute or two. Just my opinion. Thanks! | |
| I can totally relate to the desire to be nude 24/7, I think we should work toward someday being able get as close as we practically can to that. | |
| Laura, I totally agree. Other making someone look "nice," I can't see what others see in clothing. It pulls, twists, binds, and pinches even if it IS the right size and fit. If it is too small or too large, it just gets worse. John | |
| For ideas to live closer to 24/7 nude and I hope I can contribute. | |
| I come here because I absolutely believe that society would be better, more forgiving and friendly in a clothing optional/nude venue. John | |
| An Infiniti G35 Coupe! How else did you think that I got here? | |
| I came because I love being nude all the time that I can. I only wish that it was possible to be nude more at beaches and parks in the USA like in other countries I have visited. Better than that to be able to go nude anywhere without the fear of arrest for indecent exposure. I never can understand what is indecent about the human body, after all we were born with out any covering other than our skin and there is just 2 types of us, just we have different shapes. For now I travel to nudist resorts and enjoy the company of other nudists. When not traveling I am nude in my home and workshop and outside in my yard when it is warm, today we lost the warm! I fear it may not return until next May. | |
| Like a lot of others, the group name first attracted me. Though still new to nudism, I want to live as much of my life as possible in the nude. The topics of discussion are great, though some of us don't always agree on everything, right FireProf? Personally, I take no offense to being challenged since it requires me to think about what I believe and why. Maybe I do'nt always explain myself well but, I do enjoy the discussions. I hope I hven't strayed off topic or been too "long winded" here. Jim | |
| I would like to bring this post to the forefront again. As you may have noticed, I recently became the Owner and Moderator for Absolute Naturists. I want to continue to make this group a positive place to provide thoughts, ask questions and share experiences. Since I posted this subject a long time back, many new members have been added. I would like to ask for your input once again as to what subjects you are interested in and would be of value to you. Let's talk! | |
| I come because I wish a totally clothing optional society were possible throughout the U.S. I also enjoy, and occasionally contribute to, the exchange of ideas. I don't always agree with what I read, but I'm sure that some, if not many, don't agree with all that I write. That's okay. The important thing is that we are able to express our different points of view, as long as we do so in a respectful manner, and exposure to different point of view always broadens ones horizons, and helps us to better understand each other. | |
| Almost every day I have requests to join Absolute Naturists. As some of you know it can be a little rough and tumble in the honest discussions we have on here so I guess in that way I find these requests intriguing. As the owner of the group, I would appreciate if each member of this group could share a few words as to why you wanted to join Absolute Naturist. Is it meeting your expectations. What you like or don't like. Any other comments or thoughts would be appreciated as well. Thank you. SB | |
| I enjoy the different topics that are posted and the opinions that others have on those topics. | |
| To be honest I came here because it iss the first group I noticed. I am new to the nudist community and what better way to start? I was raised to think that nudity was pornography but I have alwaysw been fasinated with the human body (especialy a ladies body). I love being naked but have some insecurities that maybe I can find someone to talk to about and get those insecurities gonoe. Thanks for your acceptance | |
| I agree with Bigbare. I too wish for a fully open clothing optional society. I know I don't do enough to promote the idea. I also enjoy reading others' opinions, even if they aren't in agreement with mine. Randomnakedguy, welcome to the group. Please jump right in. Jim | |
| To tell the truth...what brought me here was the title of the group. I thought that our lifestyle was indicitive of the group's purpose...to address and discuss topics to those who live this lifestyle Absolutely. What's kept me here is the topics of discussion. Having been on the naturist website's for over 10 years...I'd grown tired of the same topics of discussion and our fearless leader has had the guts to put some really thought provoking topics out there for us to comment on. The interest in this group is there...I too get lots of requests for membership but there seems to be very little contributions from the new people. I'd like to see some of them chime in. ;) | |
| As with many others, it was the title that caught my eye. But it was the topics and discussions that kept me coming back. Its a great group and SunBunny is to be commented for it. Great Job!! | |
| I too want to commend SunBunny for the outstanding job you do. You raise some great topics, worthy of discussion. Like others have said, I have to agree the topic title first caught my attention, though I tried to answer more philosophically in my first post about what brought me here. Jim | |
| I joined because the title of the group reflected my own beliefs about nudity, although I don't get to practice it the way I'd like to. I have continued to follow the topics and posts because of the members who post here, and I am inspired by the writers to explore nudism ever more aggressively. In fact, I think I am evolving from an "Absolute Naturist" into a "Guerrilla Naturist"! Thanks to the posters here I find I'm pushing all of the social boundaries on nudity more and more, pushing back rather than simply aquiescing to the anti-nude family and friends around me. | |
| Thanks for letting me join.Like others the topic caught my eye.I don't get to practice as much as i would like.But reading all the topics has given me the confidence to try harder to get out to some beaches and maybe a resort. | |
| Good for you hill_billy_46. If we fail to push the boundaries things will never positively change for nudists. Jim | |
| I feel compelled to post here, on this topic, because of a few posts that have been aimed at the "group's" owner. SunBunny inherited this group from the original owner. She decided on a direction she wanted this group to go and the mantra of this group. She also decided what parameters it takes for acceptance into this group. There are lots and lots of SIG's (special interest groups)here on NCH...this one, Absolute Naturists is for those with either the ability and the desire to follow the group's mantra. True, some of us are able to live it and push the envelop more than others but the fact is plain to see that many have joined this group and aren't really there with regards to their own philosophies and the mantra of the group. If you are here because you want to be accepted as an Absolute Naturist BUT...continue to argue the points of the group mantra and the owners idea and philosophies of what this group is about...then maybe what brought you here was not the fact that you ARE an Absolute Naturist but want to be...or want to argue why there is no such thing. There are other groups, here, that are dying for members to get involved and contribute to their group discussions...such as..."just plain nudists." There is "home nudists", "family Naturists"...lots of groups that some here might find they fit into better but...even as the owner of a couple of those groups, I can tell you that you'll not find more thought provoking conversation than here on Absolute Naturists. SB pushes many of us to delve deep into our thoughts, philosophies and opinions but always remembering what "this" group is about. It's about Absolute Naturists...not..."it's not gonna happen...", "it's not real life..." " I don't think it's right..." naturists. Not all of us can be fortunate enough to live in a nudist community 24/7/365. But those that can't...can still be Absolute in their endeavors to live, interact, socialize and promote the lifestyle in many other ways. If you're unwilling or unable to live it, promote it and interact with others in any setting available...you're not really following the mantra of what this group is about and sometimes...when you're unable or unwilling...you critize those that are and can and it goes against the very grain of what this group is about. We can ALL find "some" connection with any group on this site. I'm a member of "single naturist" and "individual naturists" but...I am not "single" but I am an "individual." I was allowed into those groups when I contacted the owner to request membership because of certain personal incidents, situations and experience that lent those to the topics being discussed. I relate those particular experiences that fit that group. I do NOT go into those and discuss my "married" "couple" experiences in a group that is not about those experiences. SB has tried to stimulate conversation amongst those naturists that are looking at the topic from an Absolute Naturist's view and opinion...NOT from the occasional nudist's, home nudist's, only in specified area's nudist, only when appropriate nudist's,... members of the Absolute Naturist group should evaluate their own personal situations and convictions and see if they actually fit within this group before joining and then arguing the philosophies and mantra of the groups intent. Thanks for reading, sorry it was long! FP | |
| "Absolute Naturists" 'Birds of no feathers flocking together' is the first thought I had when I saw the title. I read some of the topics, and realised that there were a lot of persons like myself that live nude, play nude, and do what we can to expand the naturist way of living. With the exception of riding my motorcycles, I am nude as much as I can be. A kilt or wrap for the grocery store etc. still allows me the freedom that I enjoy and conforms with local laws. This forum group also allows the freedom to discuss a variety of topics impacted by or influenced by a shared desire to enjoy naturism to its fullest. Kudos to SB for steering this ship in a wonderful direction! | |
| What brought me here was the lure of living a totally free lifestyle, and even though I presently cannot indulge in this full time, I look forward to the day when I have the option. If this makes me less than what this group requires then I apologize for taking liberties that perhaps were not mine to take. I am a nudist and try to stay that way every chance I get, and I'm sure the opportunities will increase in the near future, un. The meantime I will do what I can to further our cause. | |
| I don't need to defend SunBunny...she is much tougher than many of the "men" in this group! There's is only SO much that can be stated in the group's "statement" (mantra). SB has stated the mantra and the group's purpose too many times to count in other posts and topics. Most of those that frequent the group and participate in discussion know where she stands on the group's purpose and it's mantra...but they still fight and argue against the Absolute Naturist. It's no secret what direction SB is going and where she intended this group to go and be about...but like so many times, there are those that want to believe they "are" and really..."are not." There are those that pontificate on naturism, social naturism and all it's meanings, definitions, standards and philosophies...and have never left the comforts of their bedrooms, living rooms...or four walls and the roof...yet they consider themselves what this group is about. There's no reason they can not be what this group is about BUT...they aren't there yet because of the many stances they take against what this group is about. You'd have to go through the ENTIRE group's posts and topics to understand why SB is frustrated with a select few members of "her" group. To know why...you have to read each and every topic she's started and every post she's contributed, as well as every post she's answered and why she answered it the way she has...to understand what she wanted from this group and from whom. All she has wanted from this group of Absolute Naturists was open and honest conversation and discussion but...she is getting it from members of this group that probably shouldn't have joined this group because...they are not Absolute Naturists and... it bothers some that think they are but in actuality...they aren't...and that's not a bad thing but if you are not...then this group really wasn't for you. A good example would be....Driving Naked Group. Some people have done it, do it and enjoy it. Others do not, will not and accuse those that do of being exhibitionists. Why would someone that feels like that...join this group and speaking negatively or against it? That is what has happened in many discussions with SB's group. LOTS of people want to join but when the discussion involves things that she feels Absolute Naturists should do...there is always a few that are 180 degrees opposite and that makes no sense for someone to be THAT far off of the group's intent and be a member. There really are other group's here that are more inline with their ideas of naturism. :) | |
| At some of our bigger events at our resort, I keep seeing a banner or a representative from Nudist Clubhouse present. So I thought I would check them out and see if any one else from my resort also uses this site. | |
| Absolute Naturists is the last group I've joined on NCH thus far. It was the topics/issues being discussed that piqued my interest in this particular group. It started with seeing a topic update posted on the NCH home page (I've since forgotten what the topic was). However, it was that topic and a few others on which I wanted to add "my two cents" which is why I joined this group. Plus, of the topic updates posted on the home page, Absolute Naturists still appear to be the most interesting to me. | |
| It is time we here from all our new members (say in the last 3 months) on this topic. I really like to know what you are thinking and what brings you here. As far as those of you that have been with us for some time, the same applies to you. Have your thoughts changed? Would you like to lend a few words about the group to our newcomers. Everybody, please chime in on this so we can continue to make it a valuable asset for you here on NCH. Thanks! SB | |
| In the last 3 or so months since I joined this site I have learned a lot of about naturism. I have tried to explain to my wife several times why I like to be nude but I can't seem to get the words to make sense and let here know what it is all about. I feel great nude but can't seem to translate the feelings to her. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks | |
| 3 months? Ok...I guess that includes me too. As a Gen Xer, I pretty much became an online nudist AS I become a social nudist. The two sort of went hand in hand. As I went through my nudist experiences and grew as a nudist, I shared these experiences, solicited feedback in times of doubt/concern, read other people's comments on these different topics. Sometimes I tried what I'de read; sometimes other people tried what I'd written. It was a sort of anynonymous "therapy group" (but without the illness part! LOL!) When I was dealing with a reluctant spouse, someone online told me take an educational approach. I did, with discussions, mags and books. It took some time; but it worked. First resort trip; I again followed someone's advice about going C/O the first time, and on a slow weekday. I did it and it worked. When pondering social nudity with a child, I again read some online comments about children growing up at resorts. I took my daughter to the resort after she got out of diapers, and it turned out beautifully. And believe it or not...I even sought advice on body posture. My X was quite forgetful sometimes about "leg positions" and I didn't really know where that fell under the whole "nudist etiquette" thing. I decided to go with the "forgetaboutit" advice and decided to defend my wife's right to sit or lay however felt comfortable to her. When I went through my divorce and didn't know if I'd ever be a nudist again, someone-online-said "just move." So I dropped everything and moved to an area where social nudity became a possibilty once again. My point to all this? Just like many people's posts impacted or inspired me over the years, I think it's important to have a few places where people can have some answers to the very same questions I once asked myself. That's why I'm here. | |
| I joined Absolute Naturists because it appears at the beginning of the list of groups here. It also has a lot of members and an active message board. I've been a naturist for over twenty years and active online for about thirty years, so it's pretty natural to look for places to chat about one of my interests. On the naturist front, I was much more active in my 20s. I lived in FL and was an AANR member and member at Lake Como Club. I went over to Playalinda now and then and made a pilgrimage down to Haulover a few times. The last 10 years or so I've been much more "underground". Moved to an area without any C/O beaches, got married, had a kid, blah, blah, blah. It's summer and I find myself having far more time to sit around thinking, reading, and typing about nudism than actually being nude. | |
| I joined Absolute Naturists because of the framing statement of the group. It's for people who want to be nude and live nude to the greatest extent possible. In many ways, I use the group's postings as a virtual mentor on how to be a nudist. I've been a paper member of TNS and AANR for years. I joined a local nudist club for a few years but dropped out because I wasn't honest with anyone about being a member. I hid the fact that I'd rather be nude. I was ashamed of it. Recently, partly with the encouragement of the Absolute Naturist viewpoint, I've decided to "own" being a nudist. Its a completely freeing experience to admit to people that you're a nudist and that you wear clothes only when you HAVE to. I've rejoined my club. I've told friends and former co-workers I'm a nudist. I drive nude when it's convenient. When I get home, the first thing I do is take my clothes off (if I had them on in the first place). Clothes don't go back on until I absolutely need them. I made a special effort to tell my neighbor I'm a nudist and that he might see me on my deck nude. The opinions and life experiences posted in A.N. have helped me to embrace the nude lifestyle. Thanks for being my accidental teachers. I hope to learn more from you all. | |
| I joined the site at the behest of Brian Spence. I have been acquainted with a few of the members of this group online and joined this group because I knew they are genuine nudists and not looking for something other than nudist acquaintances/friends. This group has the most sincere people on the site IMHO. I am definitely nude when possible and clothed when practical such as a thank you dinner I held for the 8 folk and their spouses/partners who helped get our property where it is today. Anyone want to help in putting in insulation in our guesthouse ceiling? :) | |
| I was drawn to the Absolute Nudists group right after joining the Nudist Clubhouse by the variety of topics and the lively discussions on those topics. As someone who is spending more and more of my time living as a nudist I appreciate reading about the experiences of others and I try to contribute where I can. | |
| Why did I join this group? Well, there is a lot of activity in here, and the discussions are thoughtful. There are different points of view, and lively banter. | |
| Thank you for all the fantastic comment. I truly appreciate it as well as your on going support and participation in the Absolute Naturists group. Anyone else? | |
| There have been a number of variations on "I agree with Bigbare. I too wish for a fully open clothing optional society," in explaining why we joined Absolute Naturists. Put my name in that column. I'm interested in nudism's appearance a century or so ago within the context of the life reform movement. Other ideas in that class included clothing reform, vegetarianism, socialism, whole foods, free love, etc. When I think about that time, and the time between then and now, a lot of life reform seems naive or mistaken. We've learned a lot since then. for example, Einstein published the Special Theory of Relativity the same year Richard Ungewitter published Die Nacktheit. On the other hand, "reform" implies reaction, and much of life reform was reaction to flaws in European and American culture. Abundant, portable, very high-quality fuel (oil) allowed us to paper over a lot of those flaws. As the energy ROI of oil becomes a greater factor, the paper will start to peel. Now's the time to revive the idea of life reform, particularly as it applies to our naked bodies. This is what a human is and looks like. | |
| Man is a social animal, he/she is driven to interact with others. When we find that we enjoy sewing we join sewing circles. If we enjoy golf we get a membership at a club. I have only come to nudity recently, although I now realize that I had the desire since adolescence. I came to this group seeking an interaction with others that also enjoy nudity. I had found a beach where I could be naked but I was there alone. Not enough. I found a local nude camp ground that accepted not only day members but single males as well. My wife of 48 years is at this point not interested in nudity but was not surprised by my interest. (You can't hide anything from them guys). She supports me, encourages me and makes sure I get plenty of chances to go to my "Naked Place" as we call it. Love her more every day. So I am here for social interaction. | |
| Well, I've been away a couple of days and just saw the request from SunBunny to update why we're here. As I said in the begining I joined because I desire to live nude as much as possible (not nearly as much as I'd like since I wish I NEVER had to wear clothes. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't support my desire to live nude and so I must stay clothed to some degree in her presence except to sleep or behind closed doors). I have learned and continue to learn so much from everyone here. Thank you. Jim | |
| I was immediately attracted to the name of the group “Absolute Naturist. “ Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life living totally nude: eating, sleeping, working, shopping, socializing… anything and everything. Even though I’m relatively new to the nudist community, it was only because my ex was so uptight about it that she considered it cheating on her if I went to a resort and let others see me undressed. I had my first resort visit last summer and everyone I talked to there was surprised it was my first visit since I seemed to be so comfortable with the situation. I’m one of those introverted people who finds it hard to meet new people but at that resort I truly felt I was in my element. I’ve since married a wonderful woman with more nudist experience than I. We’ve built a house on several acres completely hidden by woods so we can be nude anywhere on the property 24/7/365. All our yard work is done sans clothes. Too bad west Tennessee gets cold in the winter. We don’t know any local nudists to socialize since, being in the buckle of the “Bible Belt”, most nudists around here keep their lifestyle low key. The nearest resort is 4 or 5 hours away but we have joined a local nudist Meet Up group. We haven’t had a chance to connect with any of the other members yet, but we’re working on it. When I retire in a few more years we’d love to move further south and become residents and full time members of a true nudist community. It would be so great to go for a nude bike ride or just wander down to the store, the pool, the bar or the clubhouse to hang out with some of the other “regulars” without bothering to put any clothes on. We are doing our best to live the nudist life… and to keep improving on it as we go! | |
| Once again please... New members, go for it! We have many new members since this last surfaced. How about you folks who have been here a while, any new thoughts or changes in any way? | |
| I'm here because the group is active. Everyday there is good thoughtful discussion on a wide range of topics. | |
| I joined because I liked the topics launched by SunBunny and the way the discussions were going. Learning from all of you in the group is great as well. |
