Is more educated on naturism required?

I have always thought that naturism us a strange lifestyle.

I get that some people like to get 'back to nature' but I find the urge to do it with other people to be a strange blend of exhibitionism and narcissism.

Personally I don't feel the need to share the uncensored view of the last chicken in Tesco, but it does no harm - as long as you remember your apron when you fry the sausages (oo-er!!!).

We used to go to safe nudist beaches but weren't impressed with one nudist beach we went to unaware it was a full on gay orgy.
We didn't let it all hang out there.

Barry - What's your take on my view of naturism?

Maybe you can explain the appeal I am clearly missing?

We enjoyed nude sunbathing and swimming in the sea.
We were never in to nudist clubs, jumping around playing badminton or dining nude.
No ogling or vanity.

well the poor man just wants to get some bare facts about naturism across.

Fair enough, I can understand that, as I said.

It's the urge to do everyday holiday things with other people in the nude that I really can't understand.

If i was him i would be suing the police for wrongful arrest.He might make an extra hundred grand for his charity.

Yna - The police would site Public Indecency legislation, and win their case.

Isnt there a World Naked Bike Ride down in Brighton every year or so (or so i was told by a friend)?Is it because these bikers are regarded by the cops as being some of these Eco-Nazis or Anti-Oil mob that glue themselves to the road that they dont get arrested en-masse?

I guess it deters folk stealing your bike.

I doubt folk need more education on naturalism, they know what it is. It's the law on public nudity they may find bizarre.

I'm brought up to be modest, including about my body, so I would be uncomfortable indulging in such, but within reason, each to their own.
