Careless Nudity

(Above was addressed to Osso...)

Since we're talking about personal experiences, mine is that as a lot of you know I lived in a clothes-optional co-op that also had parents and kids. One mom in particular was naked ALLLLLL the time. She was pretty flaky and I didn't get along with her very well personally, but I stop there when it comes to censure.

And believe me, her constant nakedness desexualized her but quick -- she'd discombobulate the mailman on occasion, but nobody else really cared. My best friend met E.G. for the first time when he was engaged in conversation with Naked Mom, and it honestly took all of us a minute to figure out why my best friend was so flustered -- oh, right, naked, she always is, no biggie.

Just out of curiosity, Soz, as you are frequently in R & M threads and i am not, how often does this sort of revisionism/retraction occur?

Hmmm, I dunno... I guess fairly frequently things don't quite add up, and under questioning a more complete picture emerges.

Nimh

Well see....its clarified. I don't see anything wrong with that. I gather from that statement that your mother was respectful enough in your homelife, and her children, and herself that she didn't make a big deal out of it, her sexlife, or anything else that involved a man. And if I had to bet money, she didn't strut around naked in front of you either Nimh... or out in the yard....in front of open windows to draw attention.

I applaud the perspicacity and care with which you read and respond to posts which, frankly, are usually too long, too rambling and too confused to keep me interested. I think you do a good job in the forum.

Oh, thanks!

Does anyone here have a nude girlfriend/boyfriend story they'd like to share?

Since being naked all/most of the time serves to de-sexualize a person (I agree with that) I would think it would bring about problems with becoming aroused over that naked person when appropriate.

I mean, sexy means leaving Something to the imagination.

With no kids, sure, I'll walk from room to room naked, but I don't sit around for hours on the couch or do housework nude....not only would it be physically uncomfortable, it'd look pretty stupid too.

Honestly? I don't want to look at naked people unless I'm going to think about having sex with them, and I think about the sex before the clothes come off.

Variety pleases, and seeing someone naked all the time gets to be same old, same old.

This is gonna be one of those incredibly "un" PC things to say, but I strongly feel children shouldn't see their parents naked.

No wonder people have problems with boundaries if they can't even communicate that your body is private.

Its the opposite that seems to be the "un-PC" thing to say, actually. Just look at this thread. Do so like stuh and I did, and you get almost everyone falling over you.

During the course of mankinds evolution we have been mostly naked. When Colombus arrived in America everyone was naked. It's only been in the past few thousand years that we have become repressed and forced to "cover up" our naughty bits. Let's all get naked and celebrate the way we are supposed to be! Let's run naked down the street and celebrate nudity! Who's with me?

Nick....I can't run naked....

Can I run naked except for a good athletic bra?



And sneakers of some sort....There's sharp rocks and stuff.
And socks for the sneakers or else I'll get blisters.


And having my sweaty thighs touching each each other would be icky. Can I wear knee length shorts? That means panties so the short don't ride up uncomfortably.

Oh...and I really hate sweat anywhere, and I know it'll be running down my back into my ass crack. I better put on a t-shirt.

Just hold on a minute while I take my make up off so my pores won't clog and put up my hair in a french twist.....I need to put a baseball cap over that so my hair won't get all dried out and bleached by the sun.






OK!.....I'm ready to run naked down the street!

where's nick fun?

chai tea: thank you...you have effectively and single-handedly restored the entertainment value of this thread. you should be proud.

Perhaps it would be better if we all got naked and walked slowly down the street. Of course, there might be some chaffing involved even with that.

no, I can handle that.

I'll just walk with a lumbering gait from side to side so my thighs don't touch.

I'll also need to walk with my arms akimbo.....and some hand towels tucked under the girls. It's still pretty hot here.





socks would still be nice.

In Finland nudity is not an issue. This is because of our sauna culture. Practically everyone goes to sauna. Families with children will go to sauna together until the children signal that they start feeling uncomfortable with it (usually between the ages of 8 and 10) and then sauna bathing becomes unisex for boys and girls. This means practically all kids in Finland have seen their parents naked many times and no one thinks anything of it. (FYI the mental health of the population as a whole is good and we have no more perverts than any other country)

We believe that nudity and sex are not one and the same thing. Thanks to our sauna culture nudity has been de-sensitised (after all, it is normal to bathe and sleep in the nude). Perhaps this is also the reason that I have never heard of anyone here feeling the need to put out the garbage in the nude, but if they did nobody would consider it a big deal.

Things to do today:

Go to Finland.

It is? You never met my grandmother!

My grandma is 101 and has always slept in the nude - much to the chagrin of her family.

OK, I can't stand it anymore….

Every time I see the title of this thread, I start singing this song in my head….


Eat your heart out George Michael.



Time can never mend,
The careless nudity of… a… girl…friend

To the heart and mind
Nakedness is kind

There's no comfort in the truth
Sunscreen is what you find….

I'm never gonna tan again
Sunburned skin has got no pigment

I'm never gonna tan again
Even with a tanning booth…..

c'mon....it wasn't THAT bad.
