I don't do resorts much, but ended up at one on a "retro" weekend, and they were doing things from the past of nudism including pageants. I found it a little disturbing, especially the drive some of the contestants had to win, even down in the younger categories. Overall, I think we're better off without these. Sorry if that's an unpopular opinion.

Oct 16, 2020I agree with you 100%. It borders on objectification, the exact opposite of what the culture is supposed to be about.

It is not the fact of them being nude that makes them more objectified. Isn't the fashion industry and the social media-encouraged bodyshaming more objectifying than liberating yourself, being comfortable with your body and showing it proudly?ReactReply

Nov 8, 2020Its not an unpopular opinion, like different things in nudism, things evolved and changed. If you look at the photos from past nudist pageants and compare them to the different advertisements of the time, you will see that there isn't much of a difference between them apart from the nudity aspect.

I agree. There is no objection to nudism being fun. When it's adult me or women participating out of their own free will I don't see the problem either. And non nudist beauty contexts are just as objectifying.
