MALE Beauty
We usually associate beauty with femininity. By contrast with women's, male bodies are built for power and strength, have a 'rugged beauty' of their own. As nudists, it's wholly acceptable to admire others' physical bodies--regardless of their gender or ours. This is a group to express our admiration of the male physique.

The Ancient Greeks and Nudity
Return to DiscussionsAs many already know, the Ancient Greeks had a real appreciation of the male body--in terms of athletic ability, aesthetics, even sensuousness and eroticism. It's no surprise then that the first Olympics were performed naked, with thousands of spectators. Now imagine if that were the case today? Especially here in the US (which has its roots in Puritanism)--I suspect vice squads would be closing in, all sorts of accusations of indecency, etc. etc. Fortunately, nudism gives us a sane outlook on such projections. Nakedness and the nude human figure are regarded as completely natural and integrated into our everyday social life and recreation. I've chosen to focus this group on MALE nudity (since there are so many already having to do with female nudity) and the beauty of the nude male body.
I agree. It would be great to have nude athletics and posing and anything else for we men. I hate wearing clothing and love being nude and I know if nudity was exceptable in our puritanical environment we would have a majority being nude! HAH!
