I'm wondering if anyone has noticed that with the internet becoming more and more prevalent that there are more and more nudist. With so much information at the tips of our fingers I feel that it has had to have had some impact. Along with it attracting a new crowd I feel it's also attracting a more sexual person. Thoughts?

Apr 19, 2018I do think that the internet has also increased the knowledge that many people practice non-sexual nudity and has encouraged more to do so.
I know it helped me to be more comfortable with being nude.ReagirResponder - JE
Apr 19, 2018I agree with Rabbit. Seems like the pervs are out in force now, posing as nudists.
Before internet, we had nudist magazines. Although there is certainly a percentage of subscribers to those magazines that did so only for the perv satisfaction (not because they were true nudists), the rest of us never knew about it, and frankly did not know the pervs existed. The only time you ever saw a perv is once in a while at a nudist resort, a perv would show up and obviously be there for the wrong reasons. They stand out in the crowd, if you know what I mean. And, they were quickly forced to leave.
Now, with the internet, people who are pervs have invaded the nudist websites and forums (especially this one for some reason) looking for soft-core porn or whatever they get out of this. Those of us who grew up as nudists are absolutely SICK and TIRED of the constant posts about their erections, shaving, sex, etc. Absolutely FED UP with it! Yet, thanks to the internet, it has become painfully obvious that the pervs far outnumber the true nudists. So, we have to navigate the waters to find others who are here for the right reasons. The vast majority on this site are clearly just pervs.

Apr 19, 2018I found this site after embracing social nudism and wanting to learn more about it and to find places closer to home to be nude.
It does seem that most of the people on here are looking at pictures or for hookups and not the vast amount of information and experience this site has to offer. I dont think that the internet has made social nudity any more acceptable in the US.
Porn has been on the internet since its inception. There may have been some nudist message boards and chat rooms back then but probably not sites like this with pictures and forums. I know I have cheated with people in other countries that would talk about being nude but I didnt think of them as nudist, I just thought that it was how they did things in their country.

I agree the internet is a great place to find place and people that share the same interest.
I also agree that porn is not necessarily a bad thing but there are sites out there that are ment for it like youporn where you can watch, post and comment users videos. I would that the people looking for that sort of thing to go there and allow sites like this one to be about living and being nude in a non sexual way.

Apr 19, 2018Yes I do agreed that the pervs are coming out in Legions, but it has helped those of us that live in small towns that don't have a place to go to be nude other than our homes so we don't get to meet nudist and some of us work every hard and dot take time of so going to the resorts or club are not possible.
So it has had some positive impact it's just seems there is more negative one'sReagirResponder - MEMembroApr 20, 2018

Apr 22, 2018Having grown up during the 70's. I watched the pervs coming out of the closet movement really getting going in the early 80's and growing ever since. Back in the 60's hardly anyone thought about it, nude boys and men associating had no sexual context at all yet. It was a no big deal thing, along with the remnants of required nude pool swimming hanging on. So there has been a drastic increase in perv activity since then. But I suspect little increase in non perverted nude living, the internet just allows information and ideas to be freely shared instantly all over the world. Easy communication and information propagation results in greater awareness of it. But the perv increase has put a check on the growth of real naturism. Just by making nudity seem more about lust and sex than ever. And making the younger generation scared to be seen naked even by their own sex. And the prevalence of perv activity on nudist sites is a great detriment to new interest. (It takes hyper moderation to keep a site clean of the pervs, the few christian naturist discussion groups on the web seem to be fairly clean with constant active moderation ) I put up with a little, if there's enough innocent activity to hang around for. I have great interest in innocent living as God intended, naturist gardening lifestyle, living, growing good produce, and eating as Eden style as possible. Don't want gay friends because I feel like they likely look for the wrong kind of thing from me. (I hate that the word gay was taken over, it used to mean happy, still does, but ya don't dare use it that way any more) I know how it works in the mind, those involved in the perv mentality think nudity is all about lust and sex and that's their pleasure source. But it's all about the thrill of the moment ignoring long term good. I know because I drifted into it mentally for awhile before realizing it was so bad and pulled back out. A perverted sexual lifestyle is not healthy long term either physically or mentally, as well as biblically forbidden. (autopsies have indicated brain damage associated with it) And I want the best I can get in health in all areas of life. The Bible predicts that sin would increase drastically toward the end of the world, and the love of many would wax cold. It's happening. Most of what passes for love is not real love. Jesus Christ demonstrated real love.

Apr 23, 2018I must disagree with you. I am a lifetime nudist and have lived and traveled all over the world and met and visited nudists from all walks of life for 50+ years. I have 2 college degrees. A highly successful 20 year career in a high-profile occupation. And many other things!! I almost forgot, I am a very senior citizen and I am also a gay man. I learned while still very young to keep social nudity separate from sexual nudity and not to impose my religion, politics, sexual preferences or nudist values on those that were not interested.

Lee I agree that we dont know the reasons for some of the people that we label as pervs being on a site devoted to people that practice social nudism and that we should not be so quick to judge. However there should be consiquinces for those who blatantly break the rules set forth by the site owners. If someone makes a luxe comment on a photo or in a forum and is flagged, they should be removed or at least restricted and bared from creating a new profile from the same IP.
I dont mind much the trollers looking at my photos even if they dont have pictures on their profile. I liken it to the clothing optional places I have been to. I may be nude but the others may have on suits and we all get along. People with private profiles are more like people on the other side of the fence, looking through the holes and seeing all the naked people without being seen. I routinely block them but not until after they have been through my pictures. There should be more options for blocking people from viewing photos other than just Friends or Certified Friends. We should be able to block private profiles and even profiles with say a profiles that is under %50 filled out. It is there choice to remain private but I should also have more choices in blocking.

Apr 25, 2018I think that to be a nudist is an experience very real, not virtual as it is TrueNudist. I think there are many members of truenudist that are here just for curiosity but they arent genuine nudist
