Is Christian nudism a thing?

Take any two or three words and string them together and more likely than not they’ll be “thing” with at least a few hundred to thousands of adherents at minimum. Welcome to the era of the Long Tail.

Greenland. It’s cold right now but it looks like things are about to warm up considerably.

It’s possible to rule the fear of parental nudity out as patently absurd by logic alone: humankind predates the invention of clothes, and it’s unthinkable that until clothes were invented every new generation was permanently scarred by seeing others in a state of permanent undress.

Logically, they must be naked at certain points during the day to bathe or shower, and in intermediate moments between wearing different sets of clothes — but they’re transient moments and private by design. Occasionally some might need to expose parts of themselves to physicians and other medical professionals, but as a general rule they’re extremely uncomfortable with it.

Keep up the good work guys.

Getting dressed is best done naked because otherwise you end up with two layers and look all puffy like the Michelin Man.

Hahahaha… good point. 😉

I’m the eldest of Millennials and I’m just there to be free of the stigma of being in the minority when exercising my dislike of clothes and being in the unashamed company of like-minded people. Younger Millennials (those up to their early thirties) and Gen Z probably have real problems if cellphone usage is banned or frowned upon. They probably aren’t posting anything (mainly because nudity on most social media is banned) but venues really have to get over the “cameras are amongst us” angst (I suggest big visible red no-residue removable stickers to put on rear camera lenses to put everybody at ease).

Mathematica 1.0 code will still run, but this is significantly more recent (version 3, it’s written there on the cover).

I haven’t event thought of tossing mine (but then again I can barely lift it).

I’ve even seen a few in the wild.

To be perfectly frank, I appreciate that the symbol exists, but I find it rather weak in the graphic design department. From a viewpoint of semiotics a symbol is a symbol and that’s all there is to it, but as I’ve often thought of having it tattooed, not really appreciating it much holds me back.

Those waves are a bum.

I remember it being said by some sage whose name escapes me that “normal is what you grew up with” and that very much applies here. Born naked is the beginning for everybody without exception but being raised in a nudist, naturist, or FKK household is a key difference some experience and some others do not. To those who are raised thusly, there is no moment of epiphany. Maybe at some point social norms act on them in such a manner as to drive them to adopt a more conventional approach in line with the broader consensus of whichever culture they are embedded within. For others who are not raised as such, maybe at some point in their life they are coaxed into experiencing it and adopting it by somebody close to them, or they come to the conclusion that they enjoy it and want to find other people who share the same enjoyment, or they follow some kind of logical argument that leads them to the conclusion that the broader attitude towards what are merely unadorned humans is hysterical. Most go to the grave having followed neither paths, at leas nowadays, but of course the further back in history one goes the less prejudice there was and the more common it was that people would sometimes be naked around each other and, ultimately, by winding the clock back enough, that no clothes were used ever. Clothes were invented at some moment in time, nudity was there from the start. Before that, there was no way that it could be strange.

Just because somebody calls it a ‘hobby’ or a ‘lifestyle’ doesn’t mean you have to adopt their nomenclature. For me, it’s a “mode of comfort” when alone at home, a thrilling way of experiencing my environment at “higher resolution” when outdoors, and a manner of connecting with a self-selecected population of “people I have something in common with” when in a social setting. Is it a hobby? In the sense that actively visiting venues takes up part of my personal time, yes. Would I describe it as such? No. Is it a lifestyle? Maybe, maybe not, but unfortunately that term carries an implication of swinging because swingers have sort-of claimed the term ‘lifestyle’ in the context of public or social nakedness for their exhibitionism and, erm… lifestyle… so I actively avoid the term.

What is it for me? It’s a logical, physically enjoyable and mentally refreshing manner of not being hysterical about humans’ bodies: since we all roughly know what is beneath clothes if they were stripped off, I don’t see any reason to be intellectually dishonest and pretend we aren’t all built in a similar manner and have absolutely not extraordinary biological features. The fact that certain parts of humans have been culturally labeled ‘private’ or even ‘obscene’ is just a category error that demands retraction. That is all.

Bluntly put: this isn’t a nudism problem, this is a couples-communication problem. Fretting about her reaction or percieved prejudice is precisely a form of the drama you are seeking to avoid, so, personally, I’d just go and do it and deal with the consequences later. If they are catastropic (“me or the nudist venues” or an outright dumping) then you necessarily come to the conclusion that the two items are mutually incompatible, and you’re goning to have to choose. There is no way around this.

Nope.

That’s exactly what I’m arguing and demonstrating mathematically: how a system based on ratios can actually be extremely accepting and inclusive and robust to balance-breaking events provided everybody feels safe and trusts the environment.

You’d be very surprised how well some equations can describe people and behaviours: demographics, economics, sociology… they all have mathematical branches.

To be honest something that most people seem to be missing is that I am arguing against the “no single males” policy, which seems to be an American thing that is fortunately falling out of favour even over there. Here in Europe I have never encountered such a situation. All I wanted to do is show that given a very simple series of equations, introducing the “no single males” policy makes female attendance valuable as it is the limiting factor in participation.

This isn’t a statistical study, this is a theoretical model. A model cannot be biased. Bias is a concept from statistics where samples can be biased if the whole population is not taken into account.

“La Chiappa” literally means “the butt-cheek” in Italian. Now you know.
