forrealnudistsnaturists:Theessence of nudism/naturism - is forthe promotion of non-sexual nakedness. Many textile people are confusedby this concept, as it is nearly always assumed as the modus-operandi from the traditionalnaturist or nudist viewpoint. This is an apparently obvious but naiveassumption, is however flawed. The mainstream textile world needs to understand that not all nudist activitiesequate to swinging, so too do nudists need to understand that not all imageswith visible genitalia are pornography. While one man’s nudist holiday snaps isanother man’s sexual gratification there will always be room formisunderstanding and misinterpretation. We ALL need to climb out of the 1950s.Open discussion is good, hiding is wrong. It is also wrong that nudity isshameful and violence is acceptable, as can be seen in so much of ourentertainment, news reporting and fashion coverage, in modern media. It’s a sadfact of life that this endeavor will attract prurient interest, from trolls andsock puppets, whether obvious or hidden, to whom, perhaps, we can do somebeneficial educating along the way. As far as sex and pornography is concerned, (which charges are constantlythrown towards online nudist venues of all types), we all know that sex is oneof the many things people do naked, and non-naturists may think it’s the onlything, while traditional nudists deny that anybody does it at all.However, everybody needs to realize that withnudist/naturist lifestyle advocates, there are fairly simple rules that explicitlyexcludes pornography and exhibitionism. Many people don’t understand this, and we areconstantly removing inane photos of middle-aged men secretly standing naked infront of their bathroom mirror, or sprawling on their living room couch likesome latter-day venus or Playmate of the month, and who appear to imagine theyare being “nudist” in some weird manner. This is an area of socialconduct which needs some serious education. Theessence of nudism/naturism is that we need to INCLUDE all walks of peopleto promote the idea that human nudity is acceptable.(Please keep all comments and credits when re-blogging, it’s the correctand honorable thing to do.
