Absolute Naturists So are you naked or nude? hmmmmm
| Some say there is not a difference. I think there is. I am again not talking about a text book definition although that would probably work. How do you think people react to the word naked verses nude? | |
| I think they both get a different response when you are talking to people...I am not sure exactly why but I have noticed that when you are talking to textiled people especially they seem to react to the two terms differently..nekkid seems to get a less emotional response than does nude for some reason...to me the two simply means no clothes and freedom...lol | |
… NAKED is when you have to be nude. | |
| Like many words in English we have a sophisticated way of saying something and an unsophisticated. Sophisticated words come from French and were used by royalty. The unsophisticated words are native English used by the masses. Examples are couch and sofa or pillow, cushion. So guess which we get from the Royal French. | |
| I too believe it depends on the connotation in which the words are used. "Let's get naked and jump into the hot tub" makes perfect sense. Yet, when talking to the general public, I believe "nude" will garner less negativity than the word "naked", though everyone generall knows they mean the same thing, sans attire (just to be a little artsy-fartsy).

| Naked is seen by many as a "sexy, sexual" description of being without clothes; let's get "naked"..."wanna go get nekkid?"..."they were buck nekkid!"..."he was butt naked." I don't think "nude" has any other words to describe it so...colorfully! LOL Nude seems to be used by many...including us nudists, to describe our lives and activities to others that aren't into it. We visit places to be nude...because if we used the word..."naked"...it can give those we are describing our activities to the wrong idea about what we are doing without our clothes. According to some; We are usually nude when we shower, change clothes, sun ourselves...even swim. But we are "naked" when we are engaged in intercourse or sexual activity. Though they mean the same thing; without clothing, these very words are used in a different context when speaking about being without clothes and with whom you are speaking to. ;) | |
| As I said somewhere else - I'm a nude who is naked as much as possible. "Naked" has that simple rawness, no hint of a cover-up. Eithr way I wouldn't use the term "Naturist". That is very prissy. | |
| Naked always sounds more fun. | |
| I think nude usually sounds a bit more relaxed. | |
| I think naked has a slight frisson of naughtiness. Nude just seems like a general description. | |
| I agree with Canyonhawk. Naked just sounds more fun. I can: Run around naked. Do a naked cannonball in the pool. Play naked volleyball. etc.. But "nude" feels like something a model does in front of a bunch of art students who are sipping cognac. |
