Absolute Naturists arrow Male Crotch Shot Profile Pictures on NCH

Posted: Aug 2, 2012


I think that everyone should have just 2 pictures...the primary would of course be clothed...the secondary would be from the shoulders up only...that would allow us to make sure that they were nudists...and if they did not participate in at one thread a month they should be booted...ooohhh and if their profile was not up dated quarterly then they should be gone as well...and as for any language which might be construed by anyone at all as having a modicrum of sexual ennuendo they would be history especially if they are men...and only women should be able to request friends...you know guys have only one thing on their minds when they make a friends request to a woman...and should a guy make a friends request to a woman he should be reported immediately and booted...ooohhh and if your not blonde haired and blue eyed and exactly 6 feet tall then your history as well...sometimes you guys are amazing...do you really think that women are so simple minded that they book mark crotch shots and hussel back to them as soon as they come on...how insulting to the women on the site...but heyyyy lets make up some more guidelines on who can and can not be on the site because as we all know there are NOT nearly enough guidelines yet to prove that a person is pure of heart and pure of mind..

Women appear to have body issues regardless of whether it is in the textile world or whether it is in the nudist world. One of the pieces of advice that my wife always told our daughters was..."NEVER read beauty magazines ,they are designed to make women feel insecure about themselves"...and I think this is especially true in the States...everywhere a woman turns now a days she is faced with body issue advertisements so no wonder they feel insecure about their bodies...

Marc you are correct about Cap d'agde...when I was there two summers ago now there were something like 25,000 folks there...what I do like about France is that they do have "areas" designated and that is great...as for Germany they have parks and clubs and beaches and nudity does not pose a public problem...the last time I was in Barcelonia the beaches had nude areas as well as other designated nude areas...but that has been a couple of years ago so I am not sure what the law is today...but to answer the question...Americans seem to be realllllllly hung up on nudity...back to what I once mentioned in another thread...Americans have no problem mutilating the human body on screen...nope everyone run to the movies and see the human body slashed, burned , run over,sawed, shot,blown up and on and on...but OOOOOO nellie don't you dare show anything positive/nude on that screen or in person...you instantly turn into a pervert...incredible...

Slow Dancing...
Do we subconciously see it as sexual? How can we not?
Are males concerned about erections occuring?
Both sexs are..
Is spousal jealousy an issue? Of course it is with both sexs.
So what is the problem with slow dancing nude at a nudist venue?
Nothing if your secure in your own skin and in your relationship.

Absolute Naturists arrow Adult Only Nude Resort Policies. Is there an issue?

TexasnNewd

Posted: Apr 2, 2012


Gymnostim...here is my problem...I am NOT against children at all...however and this will certainly show my age I am sure...growing up there actually were places where children were NOT allowed...my parents actually went places without my sisters and myself...in todays world..both textiled and nudist ...children are everywhere...you can not get away from them...
There is no reason what so ever that a nude resort can not offer their facilities to adults AND to children...but that DOES NOT mean that I have to attend that particular resort...and if the resort I DO go to decides to change their policy and allow children then I too can change my policy and go somewhere else...unlike soo many others in our society I DO NOT desire to change any business to conform to what I WANT... I will simply go some place else...that is my choice...
I enjoy imported cigars...the bar I used to visit decided to ban smoking...I understood that very well...that was the owners decision...I simply went to another bar that allowed smoking...the owner of the bar that I left called me one day and wanted to know where I had been ( I had been a long time patron) .. I told him that he had made a decision...I made a decision simple as that..
I am NOT againt children some of my best friends have them...lol...but like C-O said..I have had mine...raised mine and now given the CHOICE I prefer to be around adults and not children..,
No hostility involved at all

I know I chat alot about Europe ...but.. in Europe especially in France....they actually have rules and THERE ARE places that children are NOT allowed...I know that comes as a shock to many many Americans who think children should be allowed to go with them anywhere they go but it is such a nice respite from here in the States...
I agree with C-O ...had mine..raised them..and unlike todays parents I actually had rules they had to abide by and did not let them run rough shod over other people's space..
So the very infrequent times that I go to a resort I make sure that it is adult only...

Absolute Naturists arrow Who should nudist fear most?

TexasnNewd

Posted: Mar 19, 2012

In the United States (and maybe it is because Europe has had a longer period of time to work things out) NECESSITY is the plea for every single infrigment on individual liberty..
just let that soak in for a minute can you think of a law passsed taking away a freedom that HAS NOT been classified a NECESSITY...

a child is injured riding a bicycle...some parent immediately calls for the NECESSITY (there by law)
for EVERYONE child and EVERYONE adult to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle... you immediately no longer have the abilty to chose for yourselves...
smoking is another Necessity (generally prefaced by the words..."I myself do not care who smokes..but it is for our children ... another freedom lost...seat belts are another to "protect the children"...and again another freedom lost...restaurants and bars are ridiculed because they will not allow children...in America Tyrannts have learned over the years that the words.."for the safety of our children" will take away any freedom that they want to take away and Americans just stand around and let it happen...and so it is with Nudism in American...for the safety of OUR CHILDREN we simply have to pigeon hole nudism...I just love the words.."This is an appropriate place for nudism"...lmao...
Martin Niemoller a Protestant preacher in Nazi Germany said...first they came for the Socialist and I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist...then they came for the Trade unionist and I did not speak out Because I was not a Trade Unionist...then they came for the Jews and again I did not speak out because I was not Jewish...then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me...
Sooo it is in america...until Americans learn that another groups loss of freedom brings them closer to the loss of their own and speak up about that loss there will be no one left to speak for them...

Hi SB..How are you???Well I hope.This is one of your most favorite folks...I am writing to apologize for all of us who are "riding on your coat tails and dragging you down"..
I just finished reading your wonderfully myopic post on the parade concept.
But maybe I simply do not understand...
If I read your post correctly I am suppose to give up years and years of school , internships ,county,state and national licenses to prove publicly to some unknown person that I am a nudist; other wise I am...let me get this quote correct..."a so-called nudist hanging on your coat tails and dragging you down"...

WOW !!! That is literally a breath taking piece of written text...

I don't mean this mean spiritedly at all SB but sometimes I do wonder if we live in the same world.
There are people who enjoy nudism that have incredibly productive jobs in this country who would immediately be ostrasized and stripped of their means of income if people found out that they were nudists. One of my best friends (who is a nudist) her daughter carries very high level security clearence...sooo my friend should (according to what you write) go running out and join a nude parade to prove to some one that she is a nudist and endanger her daughters job that took years of study and training other wise "she is dragging you down"...
I guess then there are alot of us out here in the real world that will be a "drag on your coat tails"...
we apologize...

In response to your comments on Title Vll...I have a good friend....most people in todays world have forgotton him..most youngesters have never even been taught about him...his name is Henry David Thoreau...he wrote a discourse called
Civil Disobedience... in this discourse he wrote..
Laws have never made man a whit more just...this applies to Title7 as much as anyother law..
Looking back over the time this law has been in place stats show that it has only caused more separation between men and women in the work place..it has NOT brought them together...
There will never be "equality" in the work place because we all make different choices...men stay in the work place longer than woemn do..women want to be close to the family while men tend to travel...men take on dangerous jobs ..women tend to opt for consistancy...
Even in the same gender work force there is no equity SB..female prosecutors don't make the same as female defense attorneys...nurses don't make the same...surgical nurse make more than pediatric nurses or floor nurses...
Discrimination will always be the case...my own twin girls have been discriminated against since birth...blonde hair..green eyes..tall..their moms european olive skin...high school was just short of hell...and most of it came from women...when it came time for college they were discriminated against because they were from middle class and white...criminey even in todays work place they are discriminated against because they have double masters and PhD's...one lands F16 on the tossing decks of the USS Ronald Regan in the middle of the night while its raining...the other creates RCD's that fly half way around the world to destroy things..
There is no "magic" place in the world where discrimination does not exist...you can not pass enough laws to create equality because equality can not exist...

3) You can hardly pick up a magazine in todays world and NOT find dozens and dozens of ads with large breasted women selling everything from OMG!!! bras with breasts in them to hamburgers...
Men are innudated with breasts constantly...

My boyfriend and or husband wants a larger size ...that is number one...the number two??? I want my clothes to fit better...yeah of course you do...and how do I know this??? part of my work revolves around the field of plastic surgery...
Women sexualized breast just as much if not more than men do ... sooo all this garbage about male sexualization is just that...garbage..
If you don't want comments...if you want to be left alone post no pictures of yourself or post only a head shot...and on your profile simply say "I DO NOT WANT YOUR FRIEND RQUEST...

Posted: Sep 7, 2011

Social Nudity in other parts of the world does not resemble social nudity in the States..for example..Germany has many parks that are clothing optional... almost anytime of the day in the summer of course you will find nudist laying in the sun on towels or blankets while textiled people walk by...no one is upset by it at all...its part of life...
Cap D'Adge in the south of France(loved it there) is the only complete city (hotels,condos,stores ,restaurants etc.)in the world where you are required by law to be nude 24/7... famlies ,singles,gays all visit during the season and mix and mingle... there are usually about 25,000 nudist at any given time there during the season...Italy of course is famous for its topless beaches... Hedi Klum talked about the topless beaches she goes to there in Italy several weeks ago on Jay Leno...she was a hoot when she told Jay that she had more bikini bottoms than she had tops..I thought poor Jay was going to fall out off his chair... oohhh and speedo's are not appaling beach wear that they seem to be in the states either... while I have not been to Croatia I have been to the Greek Islands and the nude beaches and they are gorgeous... and again singles,gays,families are all represented as well as topless and textiled folks mingling...nudity is just NOT the abhorent life style in Europe as it seems to be to sooo many here in the states...I have not been to Australia yet but am planning on going..oo forgot Barcelonia Spain...another wonderful place...

the days of the Brownie Box camera are long gone...smart phones that you can seem to be chatting on while taking pictures with ,telephoto lens that can reach out over hundreds of yards away...digital and nano cameras that you can barely see ... I have even seen remote control toy planes with cameras....OOOO not to mention GOOGLE...one of my neighbors sun bathes nude in her back yard all the time...she went to a sign
store and had a placard made to lay on the ground next to her lounge chair... Hi There Google !!! is what it reads...if your nude outside or at a public venue..there is no privacy...

Absolute Naturists arrow Children Raised As Nudist... Choice?

TexasnNewd

Posted: Aug 23, 2011

Having been raised in a nudist household , the youngest of four kids , I had three oldeer sisters, I think it is easier for people raised as nudist to move to the textile world than it is for those kids raised in a textiled world to move to a nudist world...probably because I am prejudice having been raised as a nudist, but textiled people seem more inhibited and uncomfortable with their bodies than those raised in a nudist environment...I didn't wear clothes until I started kindergarten then found textiles incredibly confining ... I hated them and could not wait to get home each day so I could take them off...

Thank you barefreedom ... I have mentioned the openess of Europe when it comes to the nude body and to nudism many many times in several threads here on NCH...I truely enjoy the fact that Europeans are far more comfortable with nudism than Americans are... no need to shout about it there...I mention it to people all the time here in the states with virtually the same results.."OO I could NEVER do that"..."I can't believe you ACTUALLY" would do that...yada..yada..yada..it's too bad .. nudism is such a wonderful life style..

Here is a thought...a woman can simply discard a regular bra for a sports type bra and discard her underwear for a bikini bottom..slip on a dress and now she is completely appropriate no matter where she is...out in public she has a dress..she decides to shuck the dress she has on sports bra and bikini...Americans simply have too many busy bodies that want to run any and everyone else's lives while screwing up their own and this underwear verse bikini bottoms is a perfect example...along with women going topless on beaches...perfectly okay to breast feed in public but OMG!!!! shes topless on the beach how terrible...

Nude Massage arrow Draping

Posted: Jul 11, 2011

A portion of my practice deals with sports and therapeutic massage. It is interesting that in Europe where I have licences to practice as well , people have a choice to be draped or not to be draped and by in large most people prefer not to be draped...even in Hawaii if you recieve a Lomi massage draping is usually very very minimal or non existent..however in the contiguous United States , most states mandate that draping will occur giving the client no choice what so ever...unless you are working in a private home then the laws stop at the front door in most states...

As in every evolution there comes a time when something is no longer relevent and or needed.This is true of nudist clubs. Nude beaches are far more accessible , technology and travel are easier and most of the clubs I think , really just want to be left alone to quietly pass away , the effort to compete in the market place of ideas is too over whelming to many...

NO!!! NO !!! a single piece of cloth is the difference between being socially acceptable and socially an outcast....

Hold on a second John...let me open my umbrella here to stand under before the deluge begins to fall on me...I'm one of the perv/faker/boys locker room mentality/knuckle dragging neanderthals referred to here... I with a couple of other guys on here are 95% of the reason why more women don't join NCH...
I honestly appreciate Brian (not being tacky at all in saying so Brian) letting me exist here and I DO realize that if SunBunny had her way I would NOT exist here at all... so thank you Brian..having said this I would like to try and answer your question John...
Maybe my answer is possibly skewed because I was married to a European woman (an Incredible French woman) before she passed... or maybe it is because we traveled a great deal in Europe and South America and Asia... or maybe my answer to your question is prejudiced by the fact that I work with , talk to , spend time with 2,000 to 2,500 women a year and have each year for better than two decades now..or maybe it is a combination of all of the above...who knows...but the answer to your question is... YES...this is mostly an American female problem...and isn't it interesting John that all these pervs..these fakers..these "little boys" with their "locker room mentality" were all raised in total or in part by....GASP !!! Women..Taaaa Daaaa
European ,South American and Asian women do not seem to have nearly the same body issues , conduct issues or male issues that American women seem to have...nude clubs , nude resorts and nude beaches there have just as many women as men...you John are your own answer to your question... there on your FaceBook page..as you yourself mentioned...you have bunches of female friends who know your a nudist...and how many are American women???
Hope this helps John...excuse me I have to go get this knuckle looked at again...dang it..I scraped it again..

I think the problem is mobility...the younger generation with their electronic tablets and smart phones can put together a fun afternoon in a heart beat...or they can be someplace where some group is having fun , someone simply puts out a Tweet and zip 50 ,100 of their electronic friends show up ...they have a great time and wooosh...gone on to some place else ...airlines can put you in one place or another in a heart beat... the resorts (clubs) are not built for such quick change ... how does schuffle board by a pool compete with volley ball on a sunny beach by the ocean ... unless the resort owners have some young nudist helping them and they are tied in with other young nudist and their electronic friends the clubs can not compete ... while I CAN see possibly some of the older generation wandering over to see what is going on with the younger folks I just CAN NOT see the younger generation wanting to learn about shuffle board...and the problem is ...technology is getting smarter and faster at a very very fast rate...with the new i phone and the second generation andriod phones both of which have face to face technology all one person has to do is call a friend some place and ask what is going on there...that person holds up the phone , scans the perimeter and the person on the other end can decide instantly whether they want to be there or not...resorts are about days...technology is about hours...really tough to compete in the modern technology world and I am not so sure that alot of the resorts and clubs even want to try...3 or 4 randomly placed 52 inch flat screen ,3D , satalite T.V.'s so that the younger generation can watch soccer or follow an Iron Man Triathalon in Hawaii or see what is going on with the Volvo around the world sailing races...wifi availability, cell phone towers accessiblity....that is just the beginning ..I don't mean to be gloomy by any stretch of the imagination but I DO know that just in my small world of business , technology wise there is nothing small... you either stay with technology( smart phones , tablets, you Tweet , your on Face Book ,and your LinkedIn page is tied to all of it) or you get left behind and eventually fade away...and the reason you do all of this is because that is where the younger generation is...

Just to point out that Margaret Thachter ran England in a tough time and under a parlimentary system... she did a pretty damn good job...and if you want a woman who ran an even tougher country in tougher times... lets try Golda Meir ..Israel's first woman Prime Minister...sooooo I think a woman could run the United States..
And not to stir the pot again in regards to the video but if someone says something , at least in my world , they mean exactly what they say and say exactly what they mean...I'm pretty sure the women in the video were not just spouting off something that they did not believe in...if they were then it makes the video even more caustic...
Absolute Naturists arrow NAKED CONVERSATIONS WITH NUDE WOMEN

TexasnNewd

Posted: Apr 25, 2011

Lets see I'm hostle ,I have issues... I talk in absolutes..well then lets take what I said apart piece by piece...
First I made the comment concerning the discussion by these women in the video of doing away with an entire gender...makeing them none essential...I mentioned that invitro fertilization can work both ways...every day invitro takes places in our world...sooo one gender could actually do away with another gender...but here is one of the things I find absolutely amazing and I purposely did not make this obsevation because I wanted to see if anyone else would make it whether they were male or female...you have in this video a group of people talking about makeing another group of people exstinct...holy smokes folks did we not learn anything from the 2nd world war... how could any group want that..and the second part of the observation is that you never ever hear males talking about how wonderful it would be to have no females living in the world...not even gay males talk like this...but invariably you have groups of females that constantly bring this up...its amazing to me that people here are comfortable with that kind of conversation
*******
The second theme of the video was EQUALITY...if women were just equal with men the world would be a better place...but there is not even equality among the female gender...are you telling me that these women are equal to say Margaret Thatcher first female Prime Minister of England...or maybe they are the same as Meg Whitman creator and CEO of E Bay...or lets see...Conde Rice first female Scretary of State...as long as thered are dominate personalities in either gender there will not be Equality...but there is one place where there is real equality among men and women...the work place...but lets not take my word for it...no no no...in fact lets not take those evil American coporations word for it or any recent study put out here in America concerning work place equality ...nope...lets use the most recent study put out in March of 2011 by Dr.Catherine Hakim whose 12,000 word study for the London School of Economics constantly referred to the reports about how women were not equal in the work place as "feminist based myth"... it is a facinating report that someone might want to actually read...
OOO and one last comment on female equality..in the last election cycle The National Organization of Women (NOW) ,Code Pink , Emily's List , Maggies List, National Women's Political Caucus raised and donated 19 million dollars to various politician to push THEIR female agendas almost none of which were aleigned with one or the others adgenda..
*******
In regards to my comments about female school teachers preying on young school boys..someone might want to google that and see that there are a minimum of ten pages worth of news highlites concerning the issue...and that does not even include the World Daily Net's BIG LIST of FEMALE TEACHERS MOLESTING MALE STUDENTS...it was published in march of 2011...

And for those who think that there is NOT a push against males..Three Books you might want to look through...The Myth of Male Power by Warren Farrell (of course discount this one by 50% since it was written by a male) The War against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers and Save the Males: Why Men Matter by Katheleen Parker and there are countless other females who feel that the male population is being insidiously pounded into oblivion by feminist groups and the the males who run around agreeing with them...
*****
Soo I'm sorry FireProf that you feel I have "issues" and am "hostile"...and to SunBunny , I can not agree with you less in this particular instance about this video...
What drives me nuts are these males(some one wanted to know what an Oprahized male was) who run around and espouse this "OOOO yes the world would be sooo much better if we could just eliminate these evil men"
OOO just reminded myself...you always see this kind of video and feminine conversations conducted in a FREE and OPEN society...if they were truely concerned about equality then why is nothing being said about the women in Iraq ,Syria, Afghanistan,Egypt etc.you never hear NOW or Code Pink of even the women in the United Nations stand up and say anything about these countries and the way they treat women...nope it is only in a free and open society that males are terrible...
*******
Well I don't know about you FireProf but the men I served with in my Marine Corps Recon company had great respect for women..they wanted women free and equal and the men in the coproate world I live and work in want the same thing for women....
To me this video represents a bunch of poorly informed , rehtoric spouting women who do not come close to the intelligent women that I know and work with every day...

Posted: Apr 23, 2011

uuuuuuugggghhhh...sooooo lets see..men could not farm female eggs , freeze them and do away with the female race???
No no no...I got it...there are ONLY nuturing females in the world..certainly by doing away with the males all will be nuturing and tranquil because only females nuture...there are no female predators who have sex with under age school boys...no predatory females that mentally or physically or both that own other females...no no of course not..no females that want the same rights to be involved in front line fighting in the military or front line police work or front line fire fighting work...no no no none of those females exist...and certainly there are no females that want to run major corporations and "compete" with other CEO's...
I am soooooo tired of this on slaught against the male specicies...and just to point out the very latest data concerning EQUALITY , which evidently this tunnel visioned person nor the women in the film have not bothered to read at all...women in America are more equal in the business world than ever before...dollar for dollar for the same jobs...more women are now in colleges and universities than there are men...in fact the big concern in universities now is that they are NOT attracting the male to their colleges and universities any longer..
If these ladies really are concerned about equality then might I suggest a short trip to Iran,Iraq,Syria,Egypt or Afghainstan and discuss women's equality with the powers to be there...
And another very small observational question for these ladies..if they refer to the Earth as Mother Earth and refer to nature as Mother Nature, then isn't it facinating that OMG!!! "Mother" Earth and "Mother" Nature both decided to make 2 different genders...One Male and One Female... why,what ever could they have been thinking to do such a disasterous thing...
And before you say it... yes I do have twin daughters thank you very much both with double masters and single Ph'd's and both married and competing very nicely in the corporate world...
Do women deserve respect...ABSOLUTELY...but you know sometimes I just want to say to some of these Oprahrized Metro Sexual males... grow a pair of cahones and stand up..

MMMM...who am I??? well I am fortunate since I was born into a nudist family to start out with...I didn"t have far to travel to become a nudist....LOL...
I married a terrific nudist....unfortunately cancer won...sooo I went from single nudist to married nudist to single "predatory" nudist...LOL
I think all single males entering a resort should have a small sound system on their shoulders playing the Jaws theme song...don don don don...LOL..sorry..morbid sense of humor sometimes...anyway...I DO travel a great deal..Europe especially...the reason being that the issues here among nudist , that are soo prevalent , are almost none existent there...
I am always amazed when nudist tell me that I do not understand this or that but they themselves can not either express their own thoughts or even more importantly they can not articulate calmly a defense of their thoughts...ie resorts and single men...
Why am I here???
To talk openly and listen to people about nudism...and to meet interesting folks as well..both of which I have been very fortunate to have done...it would be nice to expand that field..

Here is a point that as a single male I DO NOT understand and hope that someone can shed some light on...if resorts (and they say this all the time) want to maintain a "balance of singles to married , and the resorts feel that single males are somehow predatory creatures stalking the married and the single females at the resorts , how come the married women at the resorts are not upset at all the single females that are there..are females considered less predatory in nature or perhaps are married women more secure in their relationships with their husbands than the husbands are with their wives??? Just curious...

Casablanca of course

The Indiana Jones series because these movies single handedly sent hundreds and hundreds of kids into archeology..

Gone with the Wind

Manchuirian Candidate..its possible

I did not include the Star Wars movies because to me all Spielberg did was to update the technology of the Flash Gordon Series...if you watch Flash Gordon and Star Wars side by side the similarities are astounding..

TexasnNewd

Posted: Apr 18, 2011

Thank you Oddbutterfly1.. If at some point we all (male ,female,married,single) do not sit down and talk to eachother then we still are all wondering what the other group is thinking.
In my head all I see are individual groups meeting...Each group preaching to the choir so to speak and each group leaving the seminar still in the total darkness as to what the other group thinks and why..I believe that at some point in the seminar if we do not all get together and talk openly to eachother we might as well issue a "white paper" on each groups discussions and go home...
We have here bunches of individual groups. My one puzzlement is why soooo few women join in outside of women for women...and please don't tell me that its because of "evil men" ...report the dang men and lets get rid of them..we need , in my humble opinon , to talk to eachother...

The weekend seminars should be all coed. Make no distinction between singles and married. And by the way ... seating at the coed seminars should NOT be marrieds in one group of chairs..single women in another group of chairs and single men in a third group...we are all adults (supposedly)
so male , female , male , female should not be a
problem for anyone...I am sure that a married sitting next to a single would not be toxic for either...lol

TOPICS FOR SEMINAR

1) Resort owners explain who the single women
they allow into their resort are suppose to
associate with since they generally DO NOT
allow single men into the resort.
2) Women and what they want out of nudism
3) Men and what they want out of nudism.
4) Nudism vs Sexuality and how do we change the
image.
5) How nudist can become more of a financial
powerhouse.
6) How to attract more people to nudism.

I am sure that there could be other group discussions as well. Rick

I think the problem IS that we are individuals...in a world where acceptability in society depends on economics ... nudists are simply individuals...nudist and nudism needs to become a far larger economic force ... the greater economic force nudist become the more acceptable in society nudist will become...I think as long as society can keep nudist as individuals and not an economically viable group nudist will remain a footnote...projects like the nude hiking trail in Germany , parks in Europe where nudist and textiled people mix and mingle together , large vacation nude resort cities like Cap A'gde where people can see large groups of nudist gathering together to relax and enjoy themselves I think will make nudism more acceptable to the over all population...and we need to engage a younger population to become involved in nudism ... just some thoughts...

I love the club phrase.."Why yes we have a list for our men who are single..may we put you on that list??? ... I actually used to believe that...after my wife passed and I began getting back into my life I was struck by the fact that soo many clubs had such a barrier against single males...I had never realized that before... suddenly I had gone from a resonable, rational, nudist to "predator" nudist...why I only wanted to be in the club to stalk females either single or married made no difference and the women MUST be protected...as though as Olivia mentioned the women could not take care of themselves...and the even more hypocritical part of this is that single or un attached women ARE welcome .. to me this sends a signal to the women that men are perfectly able to protect themsleves against single or un attached females... it is just the women who can not protect themselves against single men...what a farce...I hike/camp..scuba dive , kayak with friends who are married or single all the time here in Texas and am never considered a predator...just when I want to go to a nudist club does my status suddely change and I am considered a potential predator...
No wonder I enjoy traveling in Europe where nudism is far more accepted regardless of gender or marital status...

TexasnNewd

Posted: Apr 2, 2011

I don't see it as being complacent. I'll use me as an example. I have spent an enormous amount of monies in my education to arrive at my level of expertise. Many of my licenses are approved by the state and or licensing boards. Any indication of what either the state or the Licensing Boards feel is inappropriate behavior and my licenses are history and I can no longer legally practice. So while I am very much in favor of nudist to be treated equally in American society , I have to be cautious and protective of my licenses and business for my livelyhood.I know it is a vicious circle and probably counter productive for me as a nudist but at this point in my life it is the best that I can do. It is why I enjoy traveling over seas so much because their attitude toward nudism is much much more tolerant. I think there are alot of other nudist that are in the same situation in their particular jobs.

2 years ago a couple bought the lot 2 lots down and built their house..I really never gave it much thought since they were summer time folks and not here most of the year and as I said I figured they were too far away to see anything anyway so I continued to work in the shop nude..
One afternoon while I was in the shop there was a knock on the door...since I have a sign posted on the door NUDIST LIVES HERE I never bother reaching for sweats I just answer the door...
Well my neighbor was there...she smiled and said she hated to bother me but she wanted to ask if I would NOT work in the nude in the wood shop for the next week ...it truely caught me by surprise...she went on to say that she had no problem with my nudity at all however her grandchildren were coming to visit for the week... I told her that I understood and that it would NOT be a problem...up to that point as I have said I really never had thought they could even see me from that far away... she followed by asking me if I could repair a set of bunk beds she had bought from a second hand store for her grandcildren to sleep on...I told her that I absolutely could and have since have helped them with several cabinet and doors etc. repairs around their home as it settles in from the intial build out..I think most folks are of the attitude of live and let live as long as the person is responsible with their way of life... there will always be busy bodies in this world that want to run everyone elses business to their own standards...she and her husband and I have become good friends and I am happy to look after their home while they are not there during the winter..

Absolute Naturists arrow Transition of Nude Resorts to Nude Communities

TexasnNewd

Posted: Mar 7, 2011

There are commonalitites to both which makes it very tough to define that point at which one is simply a resort and then transitions into a community.
One of those points I think is permanent retail on a large basis that encumbers multiple shops , restaurants , multiple long time residency , Hotels , motels .
When you go to Cap A'dge it is as much a city as any textiled city you can think of. There were approximately 30,000 nudist there. It is a fully functioning city with police and all.
While resorts have potions of retail , I think it is their size that determines resort versus community combiened with population.

Or is it considered flashing becasue we are males doing it and would not be considered flashing if a female did the samething?? I guess somewhere along the thread ehre I got lost...

There is just something about standing still , nude , over homeplate while someone throws a fast ball at you...or running and sliding nude into a base that just does not seem like fun...where as a nice well paced nude walk through natural surroundings...green grass , trees , blooming flowers ... while playing golf with other nude friends seems to me a bit more enjoyable..

I agree with nudist1..my european friends never seem to compartmentalize themselves as this or that...nudist or textiled...they jsut seem themselves as "people"...it seems that we in American have this driving penchant to segment everything including people to the point of hypenation people into groups..awww he/she is a nudist sooo certainly they can nto be anything else..tattos have been around forever...from my standpoint they look terrific on young toned bodies and tend to heighten an older persons age and they loose that mscle toneness and sag..jewelerey??? here again Americans seem to go to almost any lengths to throw on some silver or gold trinket supposedly to "enhance" their appearence..

As I have mentioned before in several posts I vacationed in Cap D'Agde last year. This is the only city in the world that I know of , that REQUIRES you to be nude 24/7. Just a hat , a towel and your crocs or sandals. It makes no difference if you are at the beach , shopping or anyother place in the city. 30,000 other folks at the beach or shopping etc. all nude.It was an amazing experience. It really is too bad that there is not something like that in the U.S.

During the summer of my college years I worked as a merchandiser setting up new products advertising in Big Box stores like Best Buy or Wal-Mart etc.
Anyway.. we had a guy quite in the middle of a project in Miami , I was free at teh time so I got the job to finish up.
Basically I finished the job the evening I got there which left me free for the entire next day.
Well having heard about Haulover beach I slipped my crocs on , grabbed my towels and sun screen and headed there.
Found ,myself a spot , spread out my stuff and decided to walk along while I put on my sun screen and see the sights..
I appraoched two ladies from behind and not wanting to scare them I said excuse me as I walked passed them.
As they turned around there was my boss and her daughter. I knew I was history right then and there. I couldn't help but just laugh.
By the time I got home from Miami the next day I had an e-mail thanking me for the job I had done ,commending me on my throughness and saying that she would be in touch with me for the next job. I never heard from her again..

I think that is the case in America..not necessarily in Europe and South America...I think American women feel alot more self conscious about their bodies than both European and South American women ... traveling as much as I do in both Europe and South America women in both areas are far more relaxed about their bodies than Americans even on the textiled beaches of both areas..
And as far as men in general being jerks when it comes to nudism ... you have men who are jerks in the textile world as well... again you can see that in offices and pools and beaches everywhere.. there are always jerks in every group of people and unfortunately most are males..
which I might point out as a bye and bye were all raised by mothers...just a thought there..Rick

Americans seem to have this almost morbid love of sawing , shooting , running over and any other way of dissecting the human body..that is perfectly okay...but OMG show a nude body and suddenly your pronographic..perverted...some how an estranged socio pathic member of society...it is absolutely sad to see such closed minds...

Having been to Cap D'Agde in southern France several times (the only city in the world where you are "required" to be nude 24/7 and a place with a population of anywhere from 30 to 40 thousand nudist during the summer, families , singles, gays everyone ... I found that folks just never paid any attention to men with erections...erections happened on the beach or in a shop or where ever but little if any attention was paid ... erections only seems to be a problem in the states and that seems, I think, because we make it such a big issue...maybe here in the states we should issue salt peter to all nude males before they go onto the beach or enter a resort...then it wouldn't be an issue...and here is an issue that everyone can jump up and down on me about..I am so glad to see at resorts and nude beaches how well women are able to control erect nipples...yep..they do such a good job of that..
