Nudists are made up of all types of people. Nudist have sexual interests to one degree or another. But nudism isn't about casual sex, swinging cheating or having sex with multiple partners.
Now, there may be nudists that are interested in these harmful activities and I might add sinful, but it needs to be clearly said that these activities are not encourage or endorsed by the vast majority of nudist.
It could just as easily be said that you can be a Republican, Democrate, terrorist, solider, a CEO a moderator and believe in casual sex, swinging, cheating and multiple sex partners. But, that doesn't mean those activities are an official part of any of them.
Simply, nudists enjoy sex like every one else to one degree or another. Sex is part of the human experience. Some engage in it in a responsible moral manner others don't. This is true whether you are a nudist or a textile.

Well stated Larry, but I am convinced Veena will have to try it for himself before he will understand.
My answer to the question: If Nudism isn't about Sex, what is it about?
It's about the freedom from sex, not the addiction to.
Don't get me wrong I love sex with my wife, but there is just something liberating about just having a conversation with another naked man or woman and it not have anything to do about sex.

My wife and I exchanged gifts at the Bare Spirits Christmas Party here a couple of weeks ago. The white elephant type. We had a lot of fun steeling each other’s gifts in the nude.
Being nude with other people was not a frontal thought. Having sex with them was even further from our mind. Having fun was what we were doing.
This question seems one from a person that is new to being naked with others or just not understanding the necessity for some us to be with others that do not hide behind barriers that clothes are just apart of.
When I was growing up as a kid I thought that the people that had their clothes on, when it was warm enough to take them off, were either on their way to town or to work in town or just from town.
When I was a teenager I knew what the opposite sex was and we did have sex. It was a private thing that was not shared with just anyone. I do not think it was near the issue it is now as being an adult. We did not even have a word for it other than just being naked or just not having clothes on.
There is just too much of making an issue out of everything. Being naked with others is a social thing that people do when we relax with others and ourselves in a relaxed and healthy environment.
Being a nudist involving the sexuality issue is an insecure mindset for the insecure personality whether we have clothes on or not. Sexuality is normal and healthy in the right place. It’s when we confuse the issue with insecurities that we run into a situation that needs addressing.
I feel that anyone can be naked with others if nobody makes and issue of it, provided the person can even stand being naked by themselves.
Being naked with others is addictive for the openness it brings, the freedom it breeds and the comradely it gives us. Well… I guess I can see how people can mix sexuality and nudism … I guess that makes me guilty.

Sex can be one aspect of nudity. Just one possible nude situation.
Nudity is not sex. It is nudity.

My avatar captures in part the joy nudism gives me. Oh, sure I could enjoy being out in nature fully clothed and have and will again. But, when I can be out in nature naked it's just a great blessing being able to experience life as God intended. Sin has robbed us all of so many lifes joys that God intended. Praise the Lord nudity is still something we can enjoy.

Nudists are no different than any other people except that after a large meal, nudists have no belt to losen.
When sexuality is brought into nudism, nudism becomes something else IMHO.

This is SO 100% right. I attended my first social nudism event (one of Cheri's, actually) just this past weekend. This is SO not what the world thinks. And I know now that nudism alone is fine, but with others is better. It is SO NOT sexual. When I took off my clothes to go out and meet everyone, I took something else off. Don't know WHAT it was, but suddenly, I, the world's shyest and most introverted person was ready to meet people.
I simply do not yet understand it, but this was the FIRST social event I have attended in 48 years where I was comfortable, confident and happy.
I don't know WHAT happened, don't understand (yet) at all, but I DO know that this is not about sex - it's psychological, or it's mental, or it's emotional - I don't know.
But I can assure EVERYONE that it is not sexual. And if you let it become sexual, then you are simply a "swinger", engaged in just another sex act. And you are missing out, let me tell you!
This past weekend should have happened to me 25 years ago, I'v wasted so much of my life.
I owe you and your group a LOT, Cheri.
Thanks again.
I may make you FEEL, but I can't make you THINK.

to me nudism is getting back to nature, getting closer to God especially if i'm hiking or wading in a river, it also bring on the little boy in me. When I was about eight I had bought one of those true detective magazines and it had a article about a family visit to a nudist resort, I was hooked and would always be looking for places where I could go and take off my clothes, a couple time I was even nude with my friends. But I was alway afraid of getting caught and getting in trouble, looking back how could a child get in trouble for being nude. Now I envie children who were raised as nudist, I wonder if my adult children ever apperciate what I missed out on.

I'm nude only around my home. primarilly because my wife isn't comfortable with me being nude in public and also for some reason Durban (South Africa) nudists are very shy people and I haven't been able to meet any, even on line. Having said that being nude is not about sex at all, it is simply much more comfortable being nude (it gets very hot in Durban. I just prefer being nude plain and simple.

To me being nude is being free of clothing and feeling good in my skin. Walking around nude has nothing to do with sex. There is nothing better than the feeling of the warm sun on my skin. Living at a nudist resort my husband and I are nude most of the time. We enjoying doing a lot of outdoor activities in the summer, we just do them in the nude.

tigerlady, well put. Nudism to me is about the freedom of not wearing clothes. It's about feeling the sun, wind and water on my entire body. It's about knowing that there's no barrier between me and nature. It may sound sappy, but it's a satisfaction I get from being a nudist that hasn't gotten old in over twenty years. And being able to share the experience with fellow nudists is the icing on this particular cake.

I'm not a nudist in the conventional sense of the word, but I can relate to a lot of what's been written here. The first time I took my clothes off in front of a camera, I experienced a wonderful feeling of freedom, physically and emotionally. Taken back to my "bare essentials", if you like, no need to hide, no need to pretend. I am what I am. It came to the point where I now feel more comfortable nude in front of a camera than clothed. I joined this site primarily to ask for advice about nude location shooting, but I have to say, I am seriously considering taking this further. I already spend a lot of time around my house nude (as does my son, we have no taboo on nudity in my home) and I think I would enjoy experiencing the freedom I feel when nude in front of the camera in other areas of my life too :)

The textile world is as sexy, if not more, than the nudist world. Textile folks have lots of sex, so nudism is not about sex. It's about socializing, and having an area where nudity is not forbidden. It's a lifestyle, wherein we do nothing more than what textile people do.
If there is sexuality in any lifestyle, it is a life-force that cannot tell the difference between clothing or the absence of it.
Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.

I hope this isnt off topic. But I have some things that I would like feedback on. And I THINK it may fit in here. If not I apologize. Feel free to move it to a better location.
I am hoping that this is a place I can discuss this on a mature level and not be judged either.
First off. I hate wearing cloths. I prefer to be nude. Society dictates to us that nudity equals sex, and I disagree.
- I think nudity is healthier.
- God made us this way.
- If everyone went naked, there would be less fornication, adultery and other sexual deviences I believe. Less pornography as well. Because people tend to like "forbidden fruit". It like countries with no drinking age have less alcohol abuse especially by youth. (I know not everyone agrees with these ideas, but I feel these are wrong uses of nudity and sex)
- It feels great to be nude.
- People should not feel ashamed to be naked.
But I am also concerned about myself, because I have other feelings as well.
I also love nudity, for other reasons. Sometimes, it is arousing. The thought of being naked in front of other people is exciting. I wouldnt feel comfortible say, being nude in front of my parents. So I must see it as sexual to some degree. And I hope not to offend anyone, but I also have preferences of certain body types and would not want to see certain types. I think that both the male and female bodies are beautiful. But only according to my tates. (I hope that doesnt sound too terrible)
Now, all that said. My wife and I have been to a nude beach before and I had no sexual thoughts. I just enjoyed being naked. And thought it was very cool that everyone else was also naked and enjoying themselves. I didnt get an erection or anything like that. Thought it was ... exciting. But maybe more of in an adventureous way than a sexual way. But I cant say that it wasnt sexually exciting. More the idea than the being. If that makes sense.
So anyway... I want to be as pure about this as I can. Especially since I am trying to teach my children about it and others as the opportunity arises. And it SHOULD be pure in my eyes.
Are these other feelings I have a natural part of the process?
Will they go away eventually?
Is it just society's ideas that have tanished my thoughts and feelings on nudity?
Is this something I should be concerned about?
I want to be able to tell my wife that is it purely...pure and innocent. (she has concerns about "public" nudity)
Im looking forward to any helpful comments or advice.
And again, I hope I didnt offend anyone.
.
What man is a man who does not make the world better.

I'd like to enjoy the "freedom" that you discribe, but being a straight single male, where can I go in the Los Angeles area to experience this? I don't have a girlfriend at the moment and frankly, the women I've dated probably wouldn't be into it anyway. Is there any hope for me?

If Nudism isn't about Sex, what is it about?
