- ععضوSep 27, 2014It does make a difference when people here share fully nude photos that include their face, it shows that they are unashamed to be recognised as nudists and helps in conveying that they are genuine. Seeing someones face in nude photos looks much better than when their face is turned away, cropped out, or obscured. I understand why some have work type issues about sharing full nude photos here but I do prefer meeting fully open nudists here. I've never had a problem from sharing recognizable nude photos online, I'm not sure what problems might arise anyway as I don't hide the fact that I'm a nudist, its nothing to be embarrassed about. I enjoy life naked too much to worry about what others may think and like to meet and see others with a similar open approach to being nudists.تفاعلرد

Sep 27, 2014Agree entirely.I too understand that some people have a problem with showing their face in the initial photo (I have a friend on here who is a teacher and I understand fully why he wouldn't want his face showing apart from to people he has decided to befriend) I don't mind showing my face - I'm proud of who I am and of what I stand for. I have friends who think being a nudist or naturist is another word for being an exhibitionist - shows how little they understand it! Well, they can call me what they like - I am secure in my own skin and not afraid for others to see it or share it.

Oct 16, 2014Allow me to be the first to disagree, although Nikwax touched on it. There are many reasons where it would be unwise if not dangerous to show your full naked body. One has to recognise that www stands for World Wide Web and that the vast majority of countries of the World have laws against nudism and where depiction of the nude body is treated as pornography. Sanctions against pornography include life (Iran) and death (Afghanistan, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Somalia). There are also certain occupations where it would be unwise to reveal that you are a nudist, including law enforcement, teaching, etc. Whilst I am in total agreement with all previous contributions, unfortunately the World is not yet the ideal world we wish it would be.تفاعلرد - NIOct 16, 2014Well said Miker1947 - I doubt if the world will ever be that kind of a place!

Oct 16, 2014While I agree that ll nudists on a decently moderated nudist forum should be quite open with they picture, there are two categories of people who, in my opinion, can validly be excluded from this requirement.
The first is people whose position is so sensitive that they cannot even take the chance of a stray interloper to the site seeing and outing them. These people should be excused open pictures but should be certified and ought to put a short sentence in the public portion of their profile stating their situation.
The second is people who are new to nudism and just dipping their toe in the water. They will probably be too shy to submit the naked picture needed for certification, but should still be welcomed into the community. Again an appropriate sentence or two should be required of them in their profile until they either take the plunge or decide that nudism is not for them.
For myself, I am now totally open within the nude community as you will see from my profile pictures.تفاعلرد - SH
Mar 18, 2015Same here! I also only consider Friend Request's if they are certified.

Mar 18, 2015Members of this group would ask for fellow nudists to show Full Nude Pictures and to be certified. From a practical point of view I think it is just silly not be open in our nudity. But I have no reason to hide - I'm retired and everyone around me knows I'm a nudist. BUT I looked up some figures the other day. The website has 218720 members, of which only 48137 (22%) have any photos in their profiles and only 12029 (5%) are certified. So, if we shun those without, we are shunning the vast majority of TrueNudist members. Oh and only 11294 of those with photos (23%) are also certified.
This is my Certifying photo:
And here is a recent one. How things have changed:

[/quote]I disagree with you, and here's why. Those countries you mention also either do not have an Internet infrastruture, or if they do, they monitor everyone closely. For such people, even visiting this site would be criminal, much less worrying about posting photos. So that isn't the target audience of this or any other nudist site. The free western world is. And in those places, nude photos just shouldn't be an issue at this point. Hell, there were nude photos being taken of guys in the military even in the 40,s, 50's and '60's. When did we all become so prudish?تفاعلرد - TR
Jul 1, 2015I just added a few full body photos. I think it is important to be open with who we are, but I do understand that being too free could cause some personal problems with employers, etc.
