Nov 8, 2013This topic has risen after a discussion on another topic on this site.
Can anybody please explain when I as a naked person can call myself a nudist?
Also what is the Nudist Ethos that one must observe to call oneself a nudist. and / or what are"The Ideals of Nudism"
I love being naked 24/7, but my spouse isn't as keen on the 24/7.However we love outdoor activities especially when we are naked or is that nude. Although most of the time we are naked at home we also like to meet and participate in social activities with other naked people.
Take care and stay bare

Nov 8, 2013Well, you can say appropriately, "He's in the nude," but you cannot say, "He's in the naked"! You can say, "The artist is famous for his sensual nudes," but you cannot say, "The artist is famous for his sensual nakeds"! Nude, then, does seem a bit more formal. Its connotation has a "softer" edge to it, whereas "naked" is a bit edgier to the ear, perhaps because of the hard "k" sound. Saying with astonishment "My goodness, he's completely naked!" seems quite appropriate, whereas "My goodness, he's completely nude!" does not.

Nov 9, 2013I'm sorry to have to say this but this is typical American navel-gazing. It really doesn't matter what you call yourself or how you are called ... Naked (an adjective by the way), nude (a noun as well as an adjective), naturist (noun). Does it matter? I'm constantly amazed by several of the threads on this site which seem to examine ad nauseam the minutiae of nude life e.g. Sleeping Naked. Who in their right minds cares? The simple truth is that you are nude, without clothes, bare, not a stitch on, naked ... I could go on but Monty Python in their Dead Parrot sketch did it much better than I - www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218‎

Nov 9, 2013When asked about nudism my usual response is that it's doing
things you would normally do simply without clothes. That said, I also believe
that nudism should be practiced where it is legally and socially acceptable at
a particular place and time to be nude.
The practice of nudism does not REQUIRE membership in any
organization. Formally joining a club, resort or website by paying a membership
does indicate your commitment to the ideals of these organizations. But it is
not PROOF that you're a nudist. Membership fees merely help to financially support
the organizations.
Nudists come from all walks of life. It is only our
enjoyment of being naked that is similar. All who identify themselves as
nudists should be free to enjoy nudism as they see fit. In doing so we should
all respect the rights of other nudists to do the same. While organizations
have the right to establish rules that go with membership, no organization or
individuals get to decide who is or isn't a nudist. Lastly, a person's beliefs or
lifestyle choices do not affirm nor negate the fact that they are a TRUE nudist.ReaccionarResponder - NUNov 9, 2013[quote]I'm sorry to have to say this but this is typical American navel-gazing.

My belief is that considering yourself a Nudist/Naturist is an individual matter. I keep it simple saying that that if you occasionally enjoy total body freedom outdoors with other people around then you can reasonably claim to be a nudist. There are of course varying parameters which different individuals may choose like being a member of a club or spending leisure time nude at home alone or in company. We all have different comfort zones regarding being nude in textile company; most of us just don't!

Nov 12, 2013To be a nudist one must be naked? Yes, but does just being naked, make you a nudist?

Somebody's got too much time to think.[/quote]You mean people actually THINK on this site ?ReaccionarResponder - AUausmanvicAutor originalNov 13, 2013[quote][quote] I would say that being a nudist at home is not really a true nudist you are just naked in you're home, but if you socialize with other people in a group setting and have activities with other people then I would say that you are a true nudist, whether in you're home with other people or at a nudist beach, or maybe at a club. I really don't think its how much you participate being nude but that would help. I and my wife are both social nudist and enjoy the lifestyle. [/quote][/quote]That's fine if you live close to other nudists, but when you are many miles or many hours travel distance from other practising nudist, I feel you comments are a bit unjust.
Also We spend a lot of my time in S.E.Asia where social and outdoor nudism is Taboo, thus being nude at home is the only recourse we have. except when we find a suitably deserted beach, which is quite difficult given the large population and the comparatively small size of the country.
Also being a taboo activity its hard to find like minded souls to enjoy social activities with outdoors or with in our homes in S.E.Asia.
So seeing We are unclothed almost everyday for as long as we can, Then we will have to stop calling our selves Nudist and just become naked people and drop out of sites like this because we have been told so many times this site is only for True Nudist
Take care & stay bare

Jan 15, 2014I call myself a nudist because I would always prefer not wearing any clothes even when I am wearing them. I also call myself a Christian even when I'm not in church. Your present, temporary circumstances doesn't change who you really are.
When I am not wearing any clothes, I prefer using the word nude to describe my state of undress.
To me naked indicates a lack of something that should be there or you could be vulnerable if you're naked.ReaccionarResponder - REJan 15, 2014[quote]To me naked indicates a lack of something that should be there or you could be vulnerable if you're naked. Naked is also a negative term meaning unchecked such as naked aggression.[/quote]Naked does indicate a 'lack of' 'undressed' and not neccessarily of clothing, but to say naked is negative? Naked can only become positive or negative when followed by an adjective, there fore it is the adjective which caries the negativity (or positive) as in the naked truth.

Jan 16, 2014I'm not sure why the hang up with names. If you enjoy being nude than by all means go for it. Being a "Nudist" is a relative term. Everyone has a different opinion as to the meaning. Now add the word "True" in front of it and see how many different opinions you get.ReaccionarResponder
