Life is difficult enough. When our culture begins to police affection, when common opinion begins to dictate displays of affection, then we are going downhill as a culture. Affinity for other people, liking other people and in particular, liking our best friends, i.e. our spouses, is the foundation of culture, our organized society, and to attempt to stop, inhibit or enforce a natural expression such as a handshake, hug or kiss is beyond reason. If some people can not tolerate seeing honest affection then they can look at their thumbs for entertainment. lol.
Needed
Ditto. Cuddling and kissing needed here too. Aside from that, it is the norm in most of Europe to give a kiss on each cheek w/a light hug upon meeting a friend (3 kisses in the Netherlands). It does a body good to share nonsexual warmth: and if your friendship is closer than most, well whatever. It doesn't matter if you're textiles or not.
In Asia ts a shoulders only hug, and couples holding hands walking down the street was a no no too, but more and more couples are breaking the taboo and showing simple hand holding affection. Me I love to cuddle others clothed or nude and giving the wife a kiss in public is OK but I feel a tonsil washing kids is a bit over the top in public.
We now live in a country of copy cats. Most people are followers. To explain this. We have gotten to a point where the big word of the day is "offended". Every person it seems is brainwashed to look for something that offends them anymore. Once a person announces he or she hears or sees something that they think is offensive , everbody wants to jump on board. And like rumors, they add more to the story to put their point across. It gets blown up for really no good reason other than somewhere, someone didnt like it. Its a vicious cycle that unfortunatly will now always continue and limit our real fun in life.
Whew...I've reading this thread for awhile and I continue to see an undercurrent of resistance here (I'm sure many of you have seen it too). This, while mostly a genial conversation has two definite/clear sides and I can close my eyes and imagine either side standing stiffly with arms crossed. Why can't we all accept that we are all basically sexual/social creatures and embrace that our individual tastes are just that...acceptance is the opposite of resistance...
Why do people feel a need or an entitlement to have an opinion or even get worked up about what OTHER people do? Once theyre happy and theyre not invading my space or harming anyone I cant see any reason why I should be entitled to have an opinion on other people showing affection or doing whatever they like. Naturism is about freedom, not naked puritanism. Live and let love!
Tbh I sometimes wonder are prudists just a little bit jealous.
