I don't know if he is kidding or not but my BF said the other day that the shrink was surfing the Net and "accidentally" *cough cough BULLSH*T cough* came across my nudist site.
Aside from being disgusted by the thought of this wanker looking at my nude pics.... can he get me for that???

In the bad old days of clinical training, professors would said (after a particularly bonehead move), "Are you stupid, or is it that you just don't care?"
While the question can be overused and inappropriately applied, this is one situation where it might be properly addressed to the perpetrator of this destructive hoax whom you continue to charitably identify as your BF...

Maybe your BF just wasn't thinking and used bad judgement about his choice of jokes, or maybe you need to stick your foot up his butt. But that's for you to decide.

I agree with the rest of the posts...I think that your BFs sense of humor is a bit over the top...but I guess he meant well.. |

Epilogue: My boyfriend made the whole thing up to get a rise out of me. He did, BTW.
I soooooooooooooo need a beer right now.

Connie,
I'm always surprised at the way some people react to nudity, especially in the US. Here, in the Netherlands, people react more at ease on nudism / natursim and are less narrow minded about it. Saw your site and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. The fact that your doctor reacts this way says more about his conception of nudity (an his problems and frustrations with it) then it tells about you. I don't know the laws in the US concerning this kind op topic, but I can't imagine he can hurt you in any way. Know that many people support your point of view and openess about this topic. |

You might want to have a discussion with your BF, find out what his motives were also, find out if he was telling you the truth and was saying this out of love for you and for your benifit, or if he was doing it to tease or ridicule you, if he was doing it out of love, respect, and trying to be helpful then great, if not, maybe you should rethink your relationship with your BF, its not a funny joke. |

There will always be wankers and wierdo nit wits... we are not ahamed of what we believe in... We were great friends with some folk from MD...then one of them googled my listings here...and now we are castigated...not in the loop of all those things we enjoyed together...but hey..we are still nude ...and at the risk of being aloof... its their loss... We are not ashamed of our beliefs, our bodies and neither should you be! |

Connie,
It is unethical for a psychiatrist to identify a person as his/her patient to others who do not have a need to know. Most won't even tell "need to know" people -- such as third-party payors -- without the express permission of the patient/client. Nor would most psychiatrists risk their careers by such a revelation. My point is that one should not jump to conclusions about who said what or did what without checking.
Your web sites are public, of course (I _do_ like the Godzilla site!) and people are going to run across them. What you have placed at your naturist site is hardly controversial or provocative, but rather an expression of personal perspective. There is nothing at the site that is out of the ordinary from a clinical or medical perspective (although I freely admit to being curious as to whether the Atkin's diet went anywhere, it has a profound effect in about 1/4 of my patients who try it, and the other 3/4 get nowhere).
Can your shrink "get you"? Hardly. But if it appears that he is discussing his patients with non-professionals and casual acquaintances, you should report him to the state licensing board. If the assertions are true, and you came up in casual discussion as his patient among non-professionals, he can--and maybe should--lose his license.

Conster,
Two points come to mind.
First, I was thinking about your statement: “I don't know if he is kidding or not but my BF said”…
Before jumping to a conclusion about your doctor, I’d discuss it with your boyfriend and be sure he wasn’t BSing you. Make sure the doctor actually told your friends.
Second, jdr has a point with the statement: “As far as your friends, if they are true friends they should not be unsettled by the fact that you like to take your clothes off once in awhile.”
I agree that they should be more understanding of others’ differing tastes and interests. But the fact is that people, even our friends, do have pre-conceived notions about us. I think some don’t need to hear about every aspect of your personality because some people just can’t handle it or understand it, and some never will. For others, you have to walk in the shallow water so to speak, and not throw them in the deep end like this guy apparently did. You would be surprised who will understand if brought along slowly.
Just my thoughts,
Randy |

the shrink acted unprofessionally and unethically.
he should not be discussing patients as if they were items on the newspaper.
nor should he be discussing them in a public gathering.
he can't get you for anything, but you can
this guy seems like a slimeball. dump immediatley, and if anyone asks why tell them he was discussing you (the patient) outside the professionally accepted guidelines.

Does your boyfreind also consult your doctor Connie? When would he find the oportunity to speak to the Dr.. Or did the Dr. see your BF, and just bring up the subject of your website in casual conversation? I find that a bit hard to believe. Hypocratic oath aside,why would he even mention it? I think your BF is joshing.

You have a very tasteful website, you shouldn't worry. If your doctor decides he can't keep this information to himself he is hurting his own reputation. If he tells others and it causes you emotional, physical or financial distress, then you have a good lawsuit on your hands.
Even if your friends did find out they should be accepting, you are the same person in clothes or not. Maybe remind them they're all naked under there clothes too.
I take it your boyfriend is not an nudist then?

I think Randy hit it on the head. Once people hear that the patient-doctor relationship is not secure with this guy, who is going to trust him to handle their mental problems? While it may be somewhat embarassing to you,Constance, it could be a very big financial mistake for this doctor. As far as your friends, if they are true friends they should not be unsettled by the fact that you like to take your clothes off once in awhile. Have faith in your friends and act like it's no big deal for you to be a nudist, but it's a huge deal for your doctor to be spreading around things that are of no concern of his!
