My Naked Self

A group for those wishing to explore and discuss how nudism and naked self portraits (aka nude selfies) help us explore our personal, social and cultural identities and how we express these aspects of self. All photos welcome with accompanying meaningful text to convey how the pic is an expression or exploration of self and identity. Please note - Private accounts or those with nothing to share...

Hello all, I hope you are really well. The world is not getting any simpler or easier to live in just now but it seems that our shared love of being naked keeps us connected to the simple pleasures that make life worth living no matter what else is going on in the world. It is autumn here and the days are cooler and shorter though there are still pockets of sun to be caught in the garden here and there. My naked self is showing up more in my writing than my photos at the moment, in being authentic and 'real' and it is interesting how many people comment on authenticity and finding someone 'real' to talk to. What do you notice? How can you tell who are the 'real' people online? The genuine beings showing up as they say they do?

I appreciate the fact that you are communicating that there is more to you than your naked photos. It is easy in this age of ubiquitous social media to be define or define ourselves only through photos online. Your question about real people is a big question to which there is no simple answer. Authenticity is so elusive in the age of social media. I look forward to the part of you showing up in your writing, since I firmly believe nudists or not we are more than our naked bodies.
