Could you ever try social nudity? ie nudism?

Some folks are too afraid of what they look like to try it. The media and Hollywood tends to make us think we ought to have the perfect bodies. Truth is, we are who we are. In a situation where others would like to be nude in a non-sexual context, what would you decide and why?

Could you ever try social nudity? ie nudism?
Yes, I would try it with a group of like-minded people.
Reply:I am a very modest person, and I can't imagine going out in public wearing a bathing suit, let alone totally nude! But on the other hand, I do not at all look down on those tribal societies where partial or even complete nudity is normal. And I do not look down on ascetics of India who choose nudity as a part of their religious life. They choose to own as little as possible, including no clothes! I think the cultural context is very important to consider in "judging" the morality of nudity.





So I suppose if I were suddenly living among tribals for some reason, and it were to somehow offend them that I DO wear clothes, I might have to think about it. But if they were not offended, I would wear clothes even then.





When I don't wear clothes, I just feel naked!!!!!!!!! hahaha.
Reply:I agree that is why the USA is afraid of nudity. I believe We have the most rape and sexuality assault against women and I think that is because were afraid of nudity
Reply:Yes, I have.It's American culture that has made people think nudity is akin to sexuality.I by no means have a perfect body,but it's good enough for me.And no one has run screaming, yet! :)
Reply:i dont know, maybe, i believe god made the human form in his own image, and it was the forbidden fruit that caused shame in nudity, i guess it would come to the situation to really know
Reply:I have tried it and have come to the conclusion that it's an experience that will either cure your self-esteem or kill it. Me? I loved it. It was hard taking off the robe for the first time, but it's actually very freeing. Nudity is not for everyone, even though we're all born naked.


As for the societal pressure to "fit in", that's a thing each person has to deal with on an individual basis.


You have to like yourself first. I'm marvelous.
