Thoughts on nudism/nudist colonies?

Sounds nice in theory

 

Eh, I don't mind nudity. If people want to be naked, so be it. Though I rather not be a part of that. Pre-op trans people has zero chance to pass being strip naked. And I am also rather fond of cute clothes.

 

I'm not a nudist myself, but I'm all for nudist colonies. I mean hell, I'd even say legalize public nudity because I agree with you, there's nothing wrong with a naked body and the world, particularly America, is way too uptight about nudity anyways.

 

I think it's great for people to be comfortable in their own skin.

One problem with public nudism is that today it's easy for someone to whip out their phone, take a pic, and upload an image to the Internet without the person's consent. This may not be much of an issue for an adult who doesn't mind nude pictures of himself/herself out there, but I think it could be a problem with a pedophile taking nude pictures of children.

Also, I'm in favor of legalizing public nudity.

 

For me I would prefer genitals/buttocks/breasts to be covered in normal social situations, particularly when eating.

I just don't really want to see/think any part or orifice below the neck with the potential to seep bodily fluids out , as natural as that may be.

Plus I don't really see it as hygienic. Unless people are using a bidet and/or douching after every bowel movement surely any bacteria will just spread whenever they sit down. I find that a bit grim really.

BUT if people want to walk, swim, be outdoors in the fresh air naked I say go for it! Let it all hang out! Just put some clothes on if you are coming indoors.

 

I have heard most nudist resorts abide by the towel system to prevent any issues when sitting. ^

 

I'm all for it. I'm a part time nudist. It may solve the whole body image crisis.

 

They sound cool. Some years on, I'd love to holiday in one.

 

Where do I sign up? :lol:

It's something I would actually give a go.

 

Its a glorious idea, but probably one I would never feel comfortable doing so unfortunately....

 

I wouldn't live in one but I'm all for them! Live and let live xP

 

I too wouldn't want to visit one, but I'm glad that people enjoy them and that they (probably) help with body image issues.

I'm sure they usually are like that. However, with today's technology, if someone is there to take pictures without people's consent, chances are s/he has already taken and uploaded the photos by the time s/he has been asked to leave. It only takes a few seconds to take a picture and upload it. By then, there's very little you can do to keep that picture from being spread.

 

I would visit one, or even live in one if I ever had an opportunity. I think no clothes is a lot more comfortable, but I don't get to be naked very often. I really don't have any body image issues, so I would be totally ok with it.

 

I think it would be a nice experience.

 

I personally would not be ok being around it, female nudity makes me really uncomfortable for some reason, I think it is because it reminds me of what I would have been if I lived a lie and it's a huge dysphoria thing for me.

 

I have actually thought about visiting one for quite some time. Might actually go to one after starting HRT.

 

Cell coverage and WiFi aren't necessary to take a picture. Unless the phone is confiscated, the images can just be saved on the phone and spread as soon as the person reaches cell coverage area.

My concern is with children, not adults. I'm willing to bet that because such images could be (and are) used a form of legal* child porn**. I don't know wide-spread such images are since I don't go looking for child porn. However, since child porn is usually illegal, I could see these images being in high demand for the wrong reasons with the wrong people. When it comes to adults, people would rather just watch porn stars than seeing the average (or below average) Joe.

Perhaps I'm a little on the paranoid side, but it makes sense to me that being a legal* form of child porn could incentivize creeps to snap pics of nude kids at some of these places. If I were a parent, I'd be too paranoid to want them to be at a nudist colony, even with my close supervision.



*Obviously taking nude pictures without people's consent is illegal (at least in most places), but the content of a nude image of a child does not make it illegal to under the 1st amendment (therefore legal) so long as it passes the Miller test.

**A nude picture isn't necessarily porn, but porn is somewhat in the eye of a beholder. So a parent who takes nude pictures of their child usually isn't guilty of producing of child porn, even though those same images can be viewed as child porn by someone possessing them for the wrong reasons.
