What is everyones opinion of being naked in public or private. Not so much as in your own house, but more when it comes to the beaches.
I have been a naturist for 25+ years but both my partner (female) and I still love the feeling of being nude on a private beach with no one around. We personally dont need people around, to look at or for them to look at us to enjoy the lifestyle.
I am sure that a lot of 'naturists' like the voyeur/exhibitionist side of naturism, and we are not criticising them. We believe in every man/women for themselves, but would people here still be naturists if no one else was around?..... we know we would

I just don't care much for clothes. I prefer naked whenever warm enough. Just don't get arrested.
I'm like the old drinking joke. I only go naked when I'm alone or with someone.

I use to belong to a nudist camp that my favorite days to visit was monday through friday and many days I was the only one there not even the owners were around, I considered it my own little paradise on those days. I am really ok no matter weather others are presenr or not and even ok with textiles being present such as nude beaches where textile seem to like walking more so than the other 4 parking lot/beach areas they past to get to the nude beach.

Thank you for your comments and replies. It is really pleasing to see that 'true naturists' are still out there who just enjoy being at one with nature. I completely agree that we do not need to be viewed or view, but we dont have a problem if others are around.
We have come across too many who seem to just want to view others, which in our opinion is not naturism.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy seeing naked people. Human bodies are beautiful to look at, to watch, and to enjoy. Much too beautiful to waste by covering it up.
My own going naked does not depend on anyone else being naked, but I enjoy seeing others too.
Blessings Bob Knows.

I have not been to a nudist resort or beach, as of yet. When I do get to participate socially, I wouldn't concider it voyeuristic nor exhibitionistic. It would nice to be able to visit with other people, people who also enjoy the nudist lifestyle, as I do.

Sounds like the old tree falling in the woods without anyone to hear it question. Yes you would still be a Naturist and we love relaxing in our backyard alone too but, we also have several naturist friends we enjoy spending time at the beach with.
Just something about spending time with likeminded people that you must try before you can understand it.

We're pretty much in agreement with Diger. We love to be naked in our backyard at home, but also love the variety of going to the local beach where we have lots of friends and spectacular ocean/nature scenery. Last time at the beach we saw dolphins close to shore. And when it comes to vacations, there is nothing like the thrill of discovering a new beach or resort; Haulover was our most recent. We have found secluded beaches where we spent time alone, and that is fun also, but they are rare spots and sometimes we worry about getting caught (as we once were on Cape Cod).

When I lived in GA I would go nude hiking by myself, off the beaten path; so I am quite capable of enjoying nudity without being seen or anyone to see. I'm also nude right now as I'm typing this, so yes to home-nudity too. But...I still prefer to be immersed in a nude environment, surrounded by nude people in a scenic natural setting. There is just something very cool about people walking back and forth, or sitting besides you, just as nude a you are, with a river, mountains or the ocean as a backdrop. It's holistic in a way. I don't think it's voyeurism, since voyeurism is focused on specific people/body parts. When I see nude people around me, it's in a broad, unspecific manner. I just see nude people - period.
At Mazo beach, there are people who plop down right in the middle of the beach next to everyone else; whereas some people and couples prefer to go down to the less populated area and enjoy nudity privately. I don't think there's anything wrong with either practice. I don't think that people who isolate themselves are necessarily stand-offish; nor do I think people who want to be right in the "middle of it" are necessarily doing it for an "eyefull". I think most people with that approach actually do it for the "connection."

I would agree with that Nudony. People are inherently social animals. Normal people generally enjoy the company of others. It doesn't change our social nature when we are naked. Naked people enjoy sitting with other people to make a social "connection," chat about the weather, discuss the latest sports score, etc. I only go naked when I'm alone or with someone.

I just love being naked either alone or in a group. However, there is just something more fun about hanging out with other nude people just having fun whether playing darts or volley ball or just having a good conversation.

All of the above. Nudism is never wrong, alone or with others, except where illegal, but I would think most would choose to be with others.

I agree with Warmskin on one thing, there is not a rite or a wrong answer to this. It's all a personal choice and depends mostly on a person’s comfort level.
One thing I'm not sure about is nudity being wrong even if it's illegal. Just because they make a law about something doesn't make it morally wrong. I'm not saying we shouldn't obey the laws, just that we should know what we do isn't wrong.
