Healthy overview of nudism from Lupin Lodge Nudist Resort
I would like to call out respect and admiration for the healthy overview of nudism found on the website Lupin and Nudity
We have found that nudity in the absence of sexual pressure fosters uniquely open communications across gender, generations and genealogy.
This statement is affirming of diversity at their facility rather than directly or indirectly supporting prejudice and discrimination by gender, age, marital status or sexual orientation.
"Dont be Afraid"
I recognize this statement as the most common quote that Jesus said, though it's not always the primary teaching of Christianity. I admire their spirit of openness and acceptance, which directly addresses men's concerns for embarrassing erections or women's fear of becoming naked objects of pursuit.
"And no one is likely to witness a discomforting situation, for we share a common ethic that the joy of sex remain a private matter between consenting adults. Public eroticism and sexual exploitation are not acceptable at Lupin."
I find it admirable that this facility is acknowledging that visitors are sexual, but even more so holds them responsible for respectful behavior and attitudes.
"Families, couples and singles are all welcomed to visit. Bring friends. Plan a group outing."
Unlike the Midwestern nudist resort which told me birth certificates and a legal affidavit were required for me to bring my young children as a single father, Lupin is generous and welcoming. The facility understands that people need to come with and without their family and friends as their situation changes, and that their survival as a business depends on accommodating visitors young and old.
Since Lupin is 2,200 miles from me in the San Francisco Bay area, I'm not sure if I'll ever visit it. However, I'd like to highlight their website if nothing else to state that nudism can have a future past the boomer generation through policies which are affirming and respectful to the diversity of today's society, and it's all good.

Im confused. Lupins statement is exactly what Ive been stating for years. ( and others) And you call out troll.
Yet now, you find it admirable?
Thanks for that. I checked out their website, and a lot of the info is really lovely. I suppose the best filter they have for the nonsense they don't spend much time dwelling on is the escorted day visit before becoming a member.
I appreciate their section on women's experience, and how they acknowledge how well-founded women's safety concerns are, and how much more than men women are confined by body-image issues (while also delicately noting men's vulnerability due to their external genitalia.) All, very kindly, getting very real.

Funny how that plays isnt. The word for it is duplicitous
There is a difference between those who espouse "non-sexual nudism" and "nudity in the absence of sexual pressure." One is denying that people are sexual and the other is honoring that fact. For puritans the difference may seem hair-splitting. For people who like to celebrate their sexuality or just feeling "sexy" while being fully responsible for their behavior - nude or clothed - the difference is about feeling shut out or welcome.
I find the same conflict in Christian views of nudity. Jesus compared the human body to the lilies of the valley, whereas Paul complained about the "thorn in my side." In my view, duplicity and hypocrisy comes from the later beliefs, not the former.

When Im in a grope of naked people I cant tell who Is doing either. Most of the time its just a fun chat.One is denying that people are sexual and the other is honoring that fact.
Once again, we are all nude. Which of us is doing what?For puritans the difference may seem hair-splitting.
Yes, you are splitting hairs but I can never understand your description, a puritanical naturist. Can they even exist?For people who like to celebrate their sexuality or just feeling "sexy" while being fully responsible for their behavior - nude or clothed
Agree, just like every other normal person in any situation.the difference is about feeling shut out or welcome.
People may use more eloquent words but Id say. Everyone is welcome just dont be a dick. (This attitude works in any group)I find the same conflict in Christian views of nudity.

Sorry you feel conflicted.
Id not read too much into what a couple of Jewish lads from the Middle East said two thousand years ago that has any relevance to nudism in the 21 century. Even supposing if the translation is accurate.
Times change, sometimes, attitudes too.
