Nudism Is NOT About Sex And Just DE

I wear a t-shirt everywhere in public that says just that. The front says "Nudism is NOT about sex" and the back says simply "DEAL WITH IT!" This will be a forum for like-minded people to discuss ways to get the public thalking about...

Responding when you hear "No one wants to see me naked".

When I'm talking with my friends and co-workers about nudism, trying to help them understand what it is and why I practice it as a lifestyle, I often get all kinds of responses, but I most often hear "OK, but no one wants to see me naked." I always try to tell them that the sort of sexual mentality they're using to approach the subject is not really what Nudism/Naturism is about, I try to tell them that they're beautiful no matter what they think and that they should have more confidence in themselves, and I try to tell them that if they tried it they'll probably find more acceptance about their body. I never seem to get through to them though. It's hard to deal with other peoples self esteem and modesty issues. Has anyone heard this response before or something similar? and how do you usually deal with it?

RE:Responding when you hear "No one wants to see me naked".

It is absolutely nothing to do with body image. I am certainly not ashamed of my body with all its imperfections. And I show it off when I can. When I say people around me don't want to see me naked it is because that is exactly what they say. When getting sponsorship for Bare all for Polar Bears several said they would happily pay me to keep my clothes ON.
