If you cannot do something because you are nude that would be perfectly alright if you had clothes on, then what fun would it be to get nude?
Bingo, I find that we tend to draw lines when now we have no clothes vs when dressed. I was always raised that somethings are socially acceptable, and some are not, whether you are dressed or not does not change those socially acceptable behaviours.
know your audience I guess.
Well said Linda, I was hugging a new friend goodbye at a nudist resort and kissed her and someone yelled over that we were to stop that. It wasn't a big kiss! Geez, excuse me for living! We weren't grinding in the parking lot!
Oh well, takes all kinds!
It seems to me that once one gets past the idea that what you happen to be wearing, or not, equals sex, that it all becomes quite clear, and very easy. No, you don't show much at work, largely due to "sexual harassment" laws and exagerated "offense" to perfectly innocent things. I'm afraid these "protective" laws have done much harm to blur the lines in the minds of some, and so have the supposed "nudist etiquite" policies of some, and at some places.
As far as I'm concerned, what you happen to be wearing is completely irrelevant. Unfortunately, common sense is far too uncommon these days.

Every Friday night, barring life's occasional interruptions, is movie night in our home. We have a male friend who joins us in watching mostly old B-movies. We all take turns picking, so at least one out of three movies should be interesting to at least one of us, but I digress. Anyway, our textile friend knows that I prefer to stay nude when I can. He has grown used to it and does not seem to pay more or less attention to me now that I go nude most of the time. On one recent visit, he brought a small gift. I gave our textile friend a hug and said thank you. I didn't give a lot of thought to the fact that Iwas nude, he was clothed and is firmly of thetextile persuasion. I just naturally hugged.It was no different than any other hug I have had with any friend, male, female, textile or nudist. In my opinion, that is how it should be.
We have noticed that PDA at it's different levels is accepted very differently depending on the location and audience. Hugging and even kissing a friend hello at the beach is usually acceptable, but not so muchat workor in church. We both like PDA, both between us to express our love for one another as well as with friends to show our affection and appreciation for them. We will both hug friends and even people we meet for the first time, same sex or opposite,whether in a nude or textile environment. However we usually only kiss those of the opposite sexas isour preferance which is probably due to our upbringing. We act this way largely so we don't offend those around us, but this is a fine line, becuase we know there are people who are offended by us just being nude and we have no intention of stopping that. So, what to do? We think for the most part as long as we do what is legalin a particularenvironment we will do OK. We will also fight to defend our liberties so as not to loose them.

Where you are at definately makes a difference. At the church I go to, people regularly hug friends. I work at a different church and have seen people hug each other but not as much. I have seen a lot of couples holding hands at both churches, it is just another sign of love.
I see a lot of people hug each other as a hello or good bye at the nude beach I go to. There are certain areas where people tend to go back to every time they go and therefore they get to know the others there and become friends. Maybe it is because I am in Texas, whose state name meands friend. LOL

I really wish i had seen this post before now. It answered a lot of questions i had when I first got here. Questions that seemed pretty good then, now seem extremely ignorant after reading this post. For some reason i felt like greetings and goodbyes would be different just because there were no clothed people. after reading this post it seems silly to think clothes would matter. Just people being people only nude. How cool is that!!!
What it really comes down to is that it'sno different than in any clothed social situation. The same parameters for what is appropriate apply in nudist society. If we have close friends whom we greet with a hug, then be it, it is fine to do so when nude. Between couples, too, regardless of their orientation, whatever signs of affection are shown should be regarded with the same level of acceptance and toleration as if we were clothed. In a perfect world we would be nude all the time. As nudists we should, ideally,not have to differentiate between a clothed world and a nude one.
Thank you !
Concise, complete; and accurate, IMHO.
Linda said it, but you explained it very well.
Sorry to say , I dont agree.
Maybe I am not ready yet , maybe its just me but I have 2 problems with that.
The first is , and I am saying that with full comprehension that nudism is not sexual ( have been practicing socially for a while now) , I just cant hug my wife when she is nude , much less cuddle or kiss . Maybe it wears off with time, maybe its a problem I have with perception but the only way I can deal with it is just by avoiding hugging her when nude ( in public)
Maybe its because she is my wife , dont know but it generates a problem with me and thats it.
About other people? Well , in Venezuela people hug and kiss when they say hi or good bye.
(women and men , men to men just shake hand)
Though yes , when we meet at the nude we still hug and kiss , sometimes it makes me uncomfortable, from the start I am a person who doesnt like to touch or be touched ( yes , I know , weirdo) , then when in the nude , more so.
Thats me.
