I do not call myself a "nudist" but I am one at heart. The reason I don't call myself a nudist is because when people hear that they think pervert. One of the problems is that I see guys on webcam sites nude and wanking away on camera and they will say they are a nudist.
Of course a person can be a nudist and a pervert.
If your looking for a very good nudist site I recommend: International Nudist
It is hard to be a nudist in Missouri. It is easy to be a nudist in Florida.
I went to a nudist camp in the middle of Kansas for a weekend many years ago. Everyone was super nice. Nudist are all real nice people for some reason.
I went to a couple of nudist swims in Kansas City and a nudist house party in Kansas City. The swims were OK and the people were nice. At the house party I had a feeling that maybe some of the couples might be interested more than pure honest nudism. But they never did anything during the party and I am not sure. There was one guy at the party that was new to the group and he asked me do any kids come to the party and I heard him ask someone else. My guess is that someone like that does not get invited to any more events.
Some people are a bit nuts on the subject of nudism. I guess any "ism" can make people nuts. There are some events that are best done with pants on...Maybe cooking...I am not sure..but often nudist try and do everything nude.
I guess in some other nations people just go nude and do not even think about it or make a big deal out of it. It is like that at Haulover Beach here in Miami FL.
It is great to go to the beach and not have to worry about a swim suit and it is nice to get out of the water and not have a tight wet swim suit.
I would love to live real close to Haulover Beach or some other beach were nudity was allowed and just walk over to the beach all the time. Now I live in Miami FL but I don't have a car and for me to get to Haulover Beach I bet it would take me an hour and a half to two to get to the beach by bus and rail. If I missed a bus it would take longer.
I guess I should not be talking about nudism and Haulover Beach when most of the United States is under ice and snow. Smile
Back a few months ago I reported here about the Battleboro VT.
I just found this information about the matter on USAnudist.
"By: USAnudist Category: Commentary
Another example of misguided logic has hit the news. Battleboro, VT has no law against public nudity. Last year, many of the young people of the town began hanging around nude at a local parking lot. The local reaction was mostly of the “kids will be kids” until outsiders began traveling to Battleboro to take advantage of this.
When strangers started walking naked through downtown businesses, the citizens and local officials reacted by passing a temporary law prohibiting public nudity. It seems the people of Vermont are very tolerant and don’t really want to make unneeded laws until pressured into it by the actions of people who should know better.
The following story illustrates another example of the results of provoking the status quo.
Brattleboro police say they arrested a man after he allegedly exposed himself to children.
Being nude in public is legal in Brattleboro as long as you behave. But, Sunday night police say 60-year-old John Lockwood removed his pants, then posed for two young girls at the Brattleboro Food Co-op.
He was charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child. Lockwood reportedly told investigators he came to Brattleboro from Florida to support public nudity, and he denied any wrongdoing.
By taking this action, this person is doing nothing to support public nudity. In reality, he is making it less likely that public nudity will be accepted and giving ammunition to those who accuse nudists of being perverted.
Working within the system in your own back yard makes a far more reasonable case than being a naked stranger walking through a town naked just because you can get away with it.
To be effective in supporting public nudity, such actions must be lawful and not provocative or confrontational. Nothing could be more damaging to such a campaign than to make the opposition feel threatened or offended. By working within the system and making allies rather than enemies, goals are much more likely to be acheived."
