Naturist and Circumcision
Body acceptance is very much a part of naturism. At the beach, resorts, and other naked meetings I have seen both circumcised and un. Never has been an issue. I would be very surprised if you experienced any negativity around this. After all for most of us it is something we did not choose.
As far as nudists/naturists go and their acceptance, I don't think you can make a blanket statement that they are all accepting of anything.Nudists/naturists like to talk a big story about acceptance, but they aren't really that different than clothed society with all its biases and prejudices against one another.
I'll grant you that. Nudism isn't some sort of ideal society that is free of all traces of prejudice and bias. No society is.
But I'll have to add that having repudiated one prejudice, the one about needing to wear clothes all the time, we are probably a little more likely to be accepting of other variations to "normality."
As for a circumcised penis, I regard such a thing in the same category of a missing breast or finger, or a large scar. None of those things were acquired voluntarily. They were all the result of circumstances dictated by forces outside their control. The person didn't have any choice in the matter. So I have to accept them as they are.
I can't claim that everybody feels the same way about the issue as I do, though.
I agree with AndyDi that nudists (and *particularly* people who call themselves that online*) don't necessarily set aside all their prejudices. But really, circumcision barely makes the list. In one culture or generation it may be common, in another, it may be rare, but neither state will be completely unfamiliar anywhere; it's not a personal choice anyway; and except conceivably in evaluation a sex partner, most people really, really, don't care at all.
Alone behind a keyboard, it's easy to be a bit preoccupied with oneself - the only one really present, after all - and to be fearful of the absent Other, and I think mostly for that reason you'll find lots of concern expressed online. But in real life - nothing.
I've been to naturist venues since I was a toddler. Never heard someone talk bad about if a guy was circumcised or not. You know, naturism ist also about body acceptance and mutual esteem.
As usually people ger circumcised as kids, it's not their own choice anyway and no one can hold them responsible for the result later as an adult.
Hi all, I've a doubt regarding naturists acceptance if a fellow naturist is circumcised or not. Do naturists only accept circumcised naturist? If a naturist is not circumcised, will they be shunned?
Not exactly about nudism but this ways told to me by a fellow traveler who I got paired up with as a random roomie. He grew up in Taiwan and as a preteen his family relocated to Vancouver. He had an older brother who got involved with high school sports and came home complaining to his parents that the Canadian boys were kidding him about not being circumcised. His folks solution was to send him to the doctor to have it done and they sent my friend along to have his done too. They gave the younger brother no say in the matter. Just figured that he too would have the same issue , so they nipped it in the bud so to speak.
Agree with this point. One of the significant differences between real life naturism and what is done online. When I see these kinds of concerns online I always think how absent those conversations are from real life naturist conversations.I've been to naturist venues since I was a toddler.
