What is the definitive line between being bold and seen--and being an exhibitionist.?
If we don't mind who sees, are we exhibitionists? And if exhbitionist, is there a problem with that?

Jun 12, 2009I think that exhibitionism is related with rude sexual behavior usually. As far as we like to watch and wathed we are a kind of "voyeurs" and exhibitioners" too

BarefootBillOriginal PosterJun 14, 2009I don't care who sees, but I also never wish to offend.
Foisting our nudity onto someone who would be offend is beyond the scope of appropriate nudity.ReactReply - NU
Jun 30, 2009I think a nudist is nude for the enjoyment of being nude and it does not matter who sees as long as they are in favor of it and does not force it on others. A exhibitionist in naked for the enjoyment of others seeing them even if they do not want to.

Jul 16, 2009I for myself like to be seen naked, and i enjoy it more if i am seen by clothed people. But i avoid to bother anyone with my nakedness.
Don't know wehre the line between Exhibitionism and enjoying being seen naked is, maybe there is a little bit of exhib in some of us.
I like to be on beaches with both, nudes and clothed. And i know the clothed people there like to watch the naked, and I enjoy it being watched. -Thats allReactReply - JO

I like it to be seen nude and see others nude too, but only when I don't upset people with a naked appearance. I don't mind being nude amongst clothed people as well, as when I do nude modelling and am the only one unclothed.ReactReply - GA
Aug 20, 2009i probably am a exhibitionist and i think all nudist are or why would we be willing to disrobe infront of strangers at a nudist club or beach, i have no problem being nude infront of others and i try not to offend but i know i have been seen by neighbors when i'm in my pool or if i wander into the backyard,or when i go to the mailbox i only wear a t-shirt and know my penis and butt can be seen if a turn or bend, and yes i probably need to live in a nudist resort but that isn't possible at this time. i just don't understand this hangup with nudity now it seems like nude art is a target, these people with this hangup must wear clothes when they shower. i think some of these skimy swimwear and even streetwear are more sexual than a nude person. and heaven forbide a mother nursing her baby does it in public. we american more so than the europeans have a real hangup with this....

BarefootBillOriginal PosterSep 2, 2009So many believe that being exhibitionist is equated to sexuality. According to the dictionary, that is not the case:
Def: a person who behaves in ways intended to attract attention or display his or her powers, personality, etc.
As an actor and model, I want to be seen. Sex has nothing do with it. If I am seen, I am working. The more I am seen, the more work. All work is good. More work is better. As a writer, proper use of words is imperative.

BarefootBillOriginal PosterNov 20, 2009Valid point.
I was at a nudist park for a meeting and someone entered the room. He was arriving after attending a special gathering and was attired in a tuxedo. I quipped, "Oh no, we have an exhibitionist here!" Everyone laughed.

BarefootBillOriginal PosterNov 29, 2009I am officially showing in public online and I have no control. A friend got a copy of my nude zombie video and posted it to youtube and vimeo. He then tagged it with my full name; thus anyone googling me has a chance of finding it.
I am definitely exposed forever.ReactReply - GA
Mar 3, 2010today it was cold and i usually am bare other than a tee shirt when going to the mailbox but slipped on my robe to go to the mailbox, needless to say its so thin it is pretty much see thru especially in the sun. as i stepped out the door a delivery truck was passing by and the driver and passenger waved as they did i noticed the meter read on the other side of the street she waved and i said hello and i knew by her smile that what little i was wearing was totally exposed as she approached we chatted a minute and she continued with her task, i wonder how she would have reached if i was bare bottom in my tee shirt ? i have gone nude to mailbox a few time but have worried about getting in trouble so the shirt or robe is my safety shield.

Feb 15, 2011I like being nude around other people for the freedom. I will however forgo that freedom if I am the only one. I will never be the first in a group to disrobe.

I think most nudists/naturists are exhibitionists at heart. I love to be seen and see other guys naked, but not if it upsets them.

Jun 2, 2011i am comfortable with my body and if they ever made nudity in public legal it would not faze me to go to the mailbox, cut the grass in my yard or go to the store nude even if others weren't nude, someone has to to be the first to start. if i ran into someone at the store that i knew and they were clothed i would maybe be uncomfortable for a minute but i would relax after that. if others can relate when i go to the lake or beach i wear a speedo/bikini and i know people look as most men wear boardshorts now but it doesn't bother me as i'm about comfort and being nude is more comfortable than being clothed.

Aug 31, 2011All this descussion on "Showing" and not one picture. I don't mind who sees me naked. On reflection does that make me an exhibitionist? Well I think one of the strengths of this site is its pictures. And I believe "if you want to look at othere you should let others see you". A quid pro quo. [url=http://www.truenudists.com/forum/#]
