Sarah Jane and whoever else would like to add comment---
I am absolutely appreciative of the pictures ppl take the time to post on here. One of the funny things is in many of the posts from a certain event are an area in which I am in alot and travel around so its interesting to see it on a daily basis with all clothed, but then to the event time ppl are nude.
As I read posts sometimes it seems their is over analysis which detracts from the photos and the point of those in the photos. Nudity can be sexual, it can be how ppl express themselves in art, it is obviously how nudists do whatever they choose to do and so on.
I am a slight bit confused at Sarah Jane's post as well as the fact you seem to not understand the point of this event and nudism. The main fact is since we do not actually know the people in the pictures, well in most cases, we cant really say their motivation right?
It was said, "The fact is if you wanted to make a point about global warming or cycle safety you could do it in a bikini or a colourful costume or, if you wanted to go further, topless. There's certainty no obligation to take your knickers off, let alone ride several miles without them."
People make their point being nude because it seems that it gets them more attention. If someone is dressed in daily clothes protesting as I see downtown, ppl will often just keep walking by. If ppl are nude it draws attention and gains more awareness. If this event is WNBR why would they do it in a costume or bikini?
"Not long ago I would have associated public nudity with drama student types, who might have got drunk or taken drugs and spontaneously lost their inhibitions at say a music festival for few seconds or a maximum of a few minutes. Yet, these girls seem so girl next door like and their actions seem much more premeditated."
Why would public nudity be reserved for just drama types or do drugs? As you can see across the world their are alot of events that have the participants nude. Why would yuou associate any of this with drugs or stereotyping?
"The fact that so many girls in the WNBR are so perfectly shaved must mean that many of them shave before the ride consciously aware and thinking about the thousand's of people will want to take pictures and videos of them naked. This must mean that they want to show their shaven vaginas to the world (a lot of women in the general population no doubt shave, but not so that they never have any stubble)."
While being nude in public one runs the risk of being seen and maybe recognized, I am sure the women would not shave hoping that you would sit and snap pictures of them. Those I know who participate in the event near me are not out their hoping they look perfect for a bunch of pictures being snapped of them.
"Also, the fact that they do not cover their faces must mean that, unless they have very low IQs they, must know that work colleagues, family and friends might see them, that pictures will end up permanently on the internet, and that there's no reason (although the fact its an annual event seems to diminish the newsworthiness of the event) why they could not end up at the end of the national news or a paper like The Sun"
If you have ever been to any nudist events, beaches or other nude-friendly place you would know that nudists are comfortable with their bodies. In nudist environments the point is not for sexual purposes, but more about being comfortable with your body and who you are. You equate the lack of covering ones face with possibly having a low IQ?
Ive never seen a post with so many assumptions. Have you ever been to a nudist event, beach, any events such as WNBR or like the Solstice Parade?
