Agreed. I'm not sure that clothing is "right" even when its legally required. Maybe it protects the textile industry.
Our house rule says "don't get arrested." That is different than "obey the law." Most laws are created to justify police state control of the people.

I would agree, Diger. I guess I was thinking about not being subject to arrest. Nudism itself belongs anywhere - museums, statues,etc., if you want nudism to be seen in cities. Or, nudism would be great for mass bike rides, Bay to Breakers in San Francisco, and the like. Groups can get away with nudism in the city, whereas individuals would have a tougher time of it.
In the countryside, I'm all for nudism. I just don't like the idea of being arrested while on vacation. So, I use the national forests quite aa bit, where I am not near authority.
My ideal world is that everybody is fine with nudity, and where nudity is taken for granted. Not a chance of that happening for a while, yet.

Warmskin,
You were speaking of Bay to Breakers in San Francisco, but did you know that nudity was pefectly legal in that city. You can walk down the street naked in San Francisco and not get arrested. It was recently in the news they were trying to pass a law requiring that nude people sit on a cloth when sitting on a public surface like a bus seat or park bench.
Sorry Admin, for hijacking the thread.

I would imagine that nudity is technically "legal" in any city that does not otherwise have a law specifically prohibiting it. That doesn't mean a nude person walking down the street can't be arrested for "disturbing the peace" or some other convenient excuse. I wonder if the same is true in San Francisco?
If not, I'm moving there :)

Annie,
Here's the article about the proposed law in San Francisco.
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/09/07/MNVK1L0TD9.DTL
Sounds like nudity is fairly common to at least the Castro area.
I like the one ladies view, she said, "Frankly I'm more disturbed by the meth heads, the drugs and the panhandling than I am by seeing a couple of naked guys."

I saw recently in SF that they had hearings on the folks walking around nude and no one showed up against or supporting, seems like it's not important to the citizens and it shouldn't be. As long as they are just nude and not being causing a disturbance or doing something sexual why should it matter , i'm not a big fan of SF or even California but I think most folks out there got this one right, of course don't expect many other cities to follow that.

After reading that article I was more upset that they made it a point to include how the general public can still make sure abiding nudists can be charged and arrested. By making a citizens arrest which if you read any other article about anything else they don't mention that to me they just couldn't leave well enough alone if it is legal then drop it unless they are walking around with erections as he said then it is illegal other then that leave the law abiding nudists alone.

My wife stated that one of the best things about she being a nudist is ... not EVER having to buy another bathing suit that doesn't fit ... again! She has one that she says will last her till she dies. It's only used when we have textile friends over and we use the hot tub. They've asked ... we tell them we don't usually wear anything but they say things like ... "I couldn't do that!"
We enjoy each others company to this day. WE like visiting places on our own and like to have a beach all to ourselves. But I am a social butterfly ... my wife, not so much. I like people, like to people watch (nude or clothed). One of my favorite things to do is buy some popcorn and a coke and sit on a bench at Disneyland and watch people walk by ... and they aren't nude at Disneyland ... so there's really no "voyuer" tendancies.
A well balanced mix of public and private nude beaches would suit us both just fine. Nice part is ... on nude public beaches ... you can go for a walk and find a spot where you can be alone and have the best of both worlds.
Loves being naked. Plays well with others!
