Curious as to why people do things nude in the outdoors. Some of the posts in this thread suggest the activities are designed around the risk of being seen in public. So why do you do nude activities outdoors?
Comfort. I am generally only nude outdoors inside the privacy fence in my back yard or at an official clothing optional location. I have done it a few times in a remote location with a minimal chance of being seen.
If you reread my post you will see there is nothing there about being exhibitionist. I know fully well what it means to live a clothes free life. However several of the responses indicate nudity not in ones own backyard or other natural space but rather public places where nudity is not the norm and the design seems to be seen or escape being seen. I guess if that is what is being thought of as exhibitionist then the maxim if the shoe fits would apply.
So my question remains what is the motivation for that kind of nudity. (Note I didnt use the words exhibitionism or nudism to describe the behavior)I don't think it has to do with being an exhibitionist, but rather trying to live a clothes free lifestyle as much as possible.
Okay, you didn't use the word exhibitionist or exhibitionism, but you did type wanting to be seen. There are many of us that will partake in being nude in public places, as I've stated, and not want to be seen but rather enjoy those areas, deemed public, nude while no one else is around.
My opinion. For what its worth
Me preferring to be naked is my choice, my desire, I am not naked for the entertainment of others .
I realize there are people who call themselves nudist who think every nudist is a little exhibitionist. That is one of the reasons I dont use the word to describe myself. I opt for naturist instead because at least for the time being naturist have a set of principles and values beyond getting naked. Here are the ones that I live by there were developed by noted naturist philosopher, author and film maker Marc Alain Decamps
The rehabilitation of the human body and sexuality
The vital need for close contact with nature
The capacity for self-control
The management of looks
Non-discrimination and the challenge of stigma
All that to say those guide my behavior while nude. My attempt to understand the motivation behind the behavior of others seemed to have touched a nerve. The reactions seem defensive and visceral to me and I am curious as to why. Especially since some seem to want to put words in my mouth that I intentionally did not use so as not to assume any particular motivation.
