Social Nudist, Sexual Nudist, or Both? Nudism is not MONOLITHIC.
Nudism is not monolithic. There are social nudists. There are sexual nudists. They are all nudists, regardless of AANR and British Naturism rules. To deny this is to deny reality. There are many venues and resorts that could care less about AANR rules and certification. The same nudist could be a social nudist at an AANR property one day and a week later could be a sexual nudist at a non-AANR venue. It is most arrogant for social nudists to declare only they are real nudists. Additionally, most people in the non-nudist world look upon all nudists as weirdos. If you do not want to participate in sexual nudism, then don't go to places where that is acceptable. At the same time, if one engages in sexual nudism at an AARP property, they will rightfully be expelled.
Most people reading this do not believe there is anything shameful about a naked human body - it is natural. Is sexuality any less natural? Regardless of whether or not you like it, nudists do not have one set of beliefs, perspectives and behavior standards that every nudist embraces.
Variety is the spice of life. Live and let live. Don't expect everybody to think like you do. Respect the choices of others as you want them to respect the choices you have made. COEXIST
There are (social) nudists. There are (sexual) swingers. To deny this is to deny reality. It is most arrogant for swingers to go to public nude places (like beaches) claim they are just sexual nudists and behave inappropriately, and get the public nude places shut down for actual nudists. This is why we won't live and let live. Swingers need to respect the choices of others (nudists AND non-nudists). Keep the swinging to swinger resorts and there won't be any problems. But far too often this isn't what happens and when confronted, out comes the "I'm just a sexual nudist and you have to respect my choices". If you really want to swing somewhere in public, go to La Baie des Cochons (Pig Beach) at Cap d'Agde. Keep going at it when the police arrive and find out the hard way it is illegal there, too.
