When I have to wear pantyhose, uguh!, the colour is usually nude. So i guess nude really has a lot of different meanings in different parts of the country and the world.

I've only been naked once in my life and that was in front of the draft board medical examiner

Naked has always meant vulnerable to me, without recourse or defense. Whereas nude is the natural state of being for all human beings whether they prefer to acknowledge that simple fact or not.

I also find newcomers or non-nudists always seem to refer to nudism as being naked or getting naked.

Take care and ...

When I'm comfortable I'm nude. When I feel out of place or uncomfortable, such as vealj's experience in front of a draft board doc, I'm naked. I would feel naked if I was the only unclothed person in a large crowd. I would probably feel "naked" if I was the only clothed person in an otherwise nude group.

Surely you mean nusits David?

A missed letter and a transpose of 2, by Kims own admission (somewhere on here) for bad spelling and Dadiv gets on the case.

I have problems too, see yesterdays posts somewhere.

Now i'm thinking is the word nude somehow derived from Eden (phonetically "Edun") as the garden of, only a thought?

David,

None whatsoever, perhaps there may be a slight differance between a nusist, nusit and nudist, but I guess they all have forgotten to get dressed.

Bet you're glad you were never formerly known as Ravioli!

Cheers too,

Matt :~)

Not thet anagrams and spoonerisms (another ism to mess around with) has anything to do with nudists resorts, sorry, but it's something we can discuss

I see all of this as labeling. If your nude aren't you also naked? If your a nudist and you step outside aren't you also a naturist? Nude, nudist, naturist are all more pleasing sounding then I'm naked, buck naked etc..It still all comes down to sans clothing. If your reading this, and your naked, well I'm nude, and good for both of us. I think as naked, nude people, there are more important things to debate then what we want to call our selfs. I perfer bare butt enthusiast!

This is an interesting question and can certainly be open to anyone's interpretation without any finality being reached. However, one "thread" I see often mentioned by others in respect to nude versus naked is the degree of "comfort" one feels...generally nude is comfortable, naked is vulnerable and/or embarrassing to some degree.
Oddly enough I experienced some of that at a nudist facility simply by a subtle change in my surroundings. At the pool among 200 other nude people I was comfortable nude and unconcerned. Later when I wandered back up to the office to ask a question of the administration, I was nude in the office at the same moment an entirely clothed family of 4 came in to register for their "first ever" nudist facility visit. It was obvious by the look on their face (even though they were attempting to be very casual) that they didn't expect nudity THERE... and therefore I felt "naked" for the few moments I was among 4 clothed invidividuals who weren't accustomed to nudity. Even though the office staff is also nude, they were behind a relatively high counter and not quite as exposed as I was in the middle of the open office area.
So..perhaps it IS a matter of "comfort vs discomfort" when trying to determine nude from naked... it seemed so to me.
