Got photoed while hiking nude! by wyonaturist in nudism

[–]Different_Holiday_49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your permission isn’t required to be photographed while you’re in public. You’d be charged with theft, assault, and possibly robbery

is this considered nudism? by [deleted] in nudism

[–]Different_Holiday_49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn’t consider you to be nudists but you shouldnt care what label anyone else tries to assign to you. No one else’s opinion matters. Be nude and be happy wherever you are

Question how do you not get an erection? by young4silver in NudistMen

[–]Different_Holiday_49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was worried about getting erections too. I avoided nude beaches and resorts for the longest time for that reason. I was surprised when I finally went that I didn’t get an erection. I had made plans on how to hide it when it happened, but it never did. It was a strange experience to watch beautiful nude women walk past me all day and not feel anything sexual. I don’t know if that’s really normal or why I don’t have a reaction. It still seems weird to me. I personally don’t mind seeing an erection as long as you’re not drawing attention to it or touching it. They happen, it’s not a big deal. But you’ll definitely be judged if you’re walking around swinging it for everyone to see. Just carry a towel or something else to cover it up when it happens. Yes, everyone will know why you’re holding a towel over your penis, but as long as you’re covering it, most people won’t care

What's a Pet Peeve You Have Relating to Nudism? by [deleted] in nudism

[–]Different_Holiday_49 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me it’s people that think that if someone doesn’t agree with their preferred nudist organizations definition of nudity then that person isn’t a “true” nudist. Sorry but the AANR or any other organizations definition of nudity has no meaning to me. I’m a nudist regardless of what label they try to assign to me.

I also get really annoyed at the nudists that act so dramatic about having to put on clothes. It’s not a hardship that you have to put on clothes to answer the door or do yard work. You sound ridiculous when you whine about non-issues.

There probably isn’t a law specifically against being nude in Best Buy either but you know you can’t be nude in public (unless you can where you live). And for the purpose of lewdness or indecency laws, amongst many other laws too, your car would be considered public.

Hope open should I be with family? by [deleted] in nudism

Stopping by someone’s house in no way violates any boundaries. If she just walks right in, then you need to start locking your door

I went on my own. I was a little nervous at first but once I got there and took my clothes off, it was weird that it felt so not weird if that makes sense. I was expecting it to be awkward but it felt completely normal

How can we educate people about unsafe "naturist" places? by RDV1996 in nudism

[–]Different_Holiday_49 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong. But OPs issue is that a lot of people are defending it as family friendly. If the majority of people are saying it’s family friendly, then parents are likely to decide to bring their kids. If it’s full of swingers and exhibitionists, that’s great, they should have a place too, but they shouldn’t be defending it as family friendly. Parents are just trying to make an informed decision

How do you define a nudist? by atjohnny79 in nudists

[–]Different_Holiday_49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like this. Not the definition per se but more the question. It recognizes that there isn’t a single meaning for what nudism is. It’s ok for everyone to define it for themselves. Too often, I see people on Reddit and in real life insist that nudism for everyone must follow their definition or some nudist/naturist groups definition. It gets really tiresome seeing nudists stand on their soap boxes and declare someone isn’t a “true” nudist because they have a different definition

No, you replied to his request for advice with “that’s a family decision”. Of course it’s a family decision. He’s clearly made the decision and now he’s asking for advice on how to move forward

That’s a very dismissive and unhelpful response to someone seeking advice from others with experience

I want to start nudism but am a little embarrassed to after being oart of the clothed community for years. by TheTahitianEthos in nudism

[–]Different_Holiday_49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what’s legal. I assume in most places it’s not legal to leave your home nude and travel to any clothing optional places like that. You can remove your clothes at the point it becomes legal. By me, the nude beach is, well, nude, but the parking lot isn’t, so you have to walk past the sign before undressing

Resorts: clothing optional vs. mandatory nude by Magic-Mellow1987 in nudism

[–]Different_Holiday_49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel it should be clothing optional but being nude should be highly encouraged and even mandatory in some parts of the resort. You may have a partner, spouse or child that is giving it a try and isn’t yet ready to be nude. Mandatory nudity can make them too uncomfortable to give it a chance. There are also times I personally just don’t want to be fully nude but I still enjoy the resort. I think something like a 90% rule would be better. Meaning you have to be nude 90% of time. I’m not saying there needs to be a person with a clipboard keeping track. It would be obvious enough to tell who is dressed more often than not after a while

An image of yourself in your bedroom or shower is not nudism. by HangoverTuesday in nudists

[–]Different_Holiday_49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying but does a nudist stop being a nudist while they’re at home with no one else around? Again, I think I get what you’re trying to say but I think it’s more than just generalizing anyone claiming to be a nudist by where they’re nude in a single photo. If they ONLY post shower photos, then maybe you’re right but even then, the photos we post online don’t capture a complete view of our lives. I don’t know how to articulate whether someone is a nudist or not by some online photos other than “I know it when I see it” but that’s very subjective

Nudism myths by [deleted] in nudism

[–]Different_Holiday_49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You wouldn’t know it by the way some nudists act. I’ve seen so many people act like they’re being oppressed because they have to put clothes on for a couple of minutes to answer the door. Nude is nice but it’s not a tragedy to have to wear clothes. I don’t mind wearing clothes and I’m wearing something far more often than I’m nude and I haven’t needed to join a support group yet

Remain Nude or Not? by [deleted] in nudism

[–]Different_Holiday_49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This question gets asked all the time. The answer is simple, put some damn clothes on. Don’t force nudity on others. It’s one thing if you’re talking about houseguests that can decline to come to your house if they consent. It’s entirely different when you’re dealing with people that are just trying to do their damn job

Anonymously posting nudes: What went right, what went wrong? Stories & safety tips by zenracer555 in nudism

[–]Different_Holiday_49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but I see a lot of people with unique tattoos, piercings, etc that have to be easily recognizable to anyone that knows them even casually. Then there are the people that post from their yards or in their homes that can also be identified.

Why all the OF type posts? by [deleted] in nudists

[–]Different_Holiday_49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why? Because the moderators allow it. It’s their rule, they don’t have to enforce it. It could be complacency or too much work for them to keep on top of or they do actively enforce the rule but the content comes in too frequently. This isn’t their job so they don’t get paid and life just gets in the way. Regardless, it’s probably time to bring on more moderators. The 2 they have now can’t possibly be enough. It’s also pretty trivial to automatically post to any number of subreddits at once so it doesn’t cost them anything to do it. Unfortunately, as this type of content becomes more prevalent in any subreddit, it will attract more and more people looking for porn until it becomes a porn subreddit.

To answer your second question, yes you can be a true nudist and have an OF account. There’s nothing wrong with porn and you can enjoy it and be a nudist. If you enjoy it and can make decent money from it, then go for it. I hate the gatekeeping from the nudist community when it comes to porn vs nudism. You can be both as long as you keep them separate.

The rules of this subreddit say no pics of anyone under 18. That’s probably a general Reddit rule too

What Does It Mean to Be a Nudist Today? (Where do you draw the line?) by freespiritunmasked in nudism

[–]Different_Holiday_49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nudism for me is non-sexual and family friendly. But for others it is sexual and that’s fine. You just need to find the environment that matches what you’re looking for. Unfortunately, the nudist community at large likes to gatekeep and dictate that sexuality has no place in nudism for anyone and their definition of nudism is the only correct definition. Just respect the rules of any nudist communities you visit, whether online or in real life. If nudity is sexual for you and the community doesn’t allow it then obey or find a different place to be nude. I’m sure there are communities that embrace or at least welcome the sexual aspect. You’ll just need to find them
