My first social nude outing was to Bonny Doon beach in Northern Cal. On a warm weekend there were easily 300 nudists on the beach. It was a really great crowd. If you didn't know any better, you'd think they all knew each other and were all close friends. It was that kind of vibe and that friendly a place. I was 18/19 at the time and happened upon the beach by accident. I guess for the first couple of times it was about seeing lots of nude bodies but seriously, after those first two visits, it all became about being naked with likeminded people and friendships I made and would make as my visits became more frequent. It was no longer about being seen as it was just to be.
My first time to a nude beach, for me was not about seeing others naked. It was however, somewhat TO be seen but not from and exhibitionist standpoint. It was more like when you wanted someone to see you ride your bike for the first time, more from a sense of pride and accomplishment .
I would compare the experience to Dorothy opening her door and seeing the world in color for the first time! The OZ factor would be more accurate! Strange to wrap your senses around at first but so enjoyable and naturally comforting as you take it all in.
So from that perspective, perhaps a little of both.
I too find being naked in a social setting as a very natural thing to do, and don't even notice people are naked. I chat and mingle just as I would in a clothed social setting. I also find removing clothes to be a great equalizer, and notice that most people react more sociably when naked. At least that's been my experience. :-))
Could not agree more with you there. No chance to convey status or wealth or social standing when you're naked. We are what we are and you have to evaluate and appreciate others for the people they really are, free from all pretence and image making.
