When I speak of non-sexual nudity is about behavior because, if I am with a woman naked, their is no penetration, no oral, and no manual stimulation for me this is non-sexual. No sex act.
I think when it is spoken about people in parade and exhibiting themselves its best to differentiate this way. Those who participate in WNBR.....do you see the difference between participating and not minding being seeing vs. wanting to be seen? If I were to participate, I would to mind being seen because to be naked in public, I would have to agree, I will be seen, possibly pics taken. On the other side, if I wanted to be seen it be more like...I am going to get naked, I want ppl to see me, it turns me on, gets me off and the more ppl who takes pics, then great. This is how I view it, for me.
Their maybe a thrill but is it the thrill of being seen by others or the thrill of..I dont give a fuck, im naked, its non-offensive and if ppl dont like it then their choice? Is nudity taboo? Sure. Is nudity on its own offensive? Some view yes. My opinion is that me being naked may offend ppl so....instead of me walking around in public in daily life naked, why not have spaces, events where ppl maybe naked amongst those who also agree with it. If their is to be a nude beach, post proper signs, say beyond this point nude ppl will be. Their are some activists who think everyone has the right to be naked whenever, wherever. This would not offend me. Its a personal thing i guess where I dnt wish to place my believes and morals on others. If you wish to not see me naked, fine. But, please have equal opportunity for those who wish to be nude and not.
The funny thing about the word "all" as you used it, I use it and others is....we can never say all. It implies 100 pct. I had an ex gf who was in stats. To say all, majority and so on, from her I kind of got in the mindset of how do we arrive at this conclusion. When you say you cant imagine all have the message of wnbr in their head whilke participating, of course not. Some are out to be seen naked and the thrill, some maybe want exercise, others realize that a naked body is a tool that causes awareness. I can sit downtown and protest an issue, be dressed and ppl walk by like whatever. If I or even women are naked, then ppl stop, pay attention. We see this in SF with Gypsy Taub.
Are you going on too much? Of course not. My comments prob caught your attention and I was not trying to be an ass. Some of the comments from you and the other caught my attention as if assumptions were being made and I did not agree. Rather than us argue, we have had a great conversation. Maybe we do not agree 100 pct, but why should we. We got to know eachother based on this topic and had a respectful conversation. I find this important.
I think this forum is great. I think it is great because I recognize ppl take risks, time out of their lives and are giving by posting pictures for the rest to enjoy. As a nudist, it is interesting to see allt he different events in the world that go on. Places I have not been and may never go. I also am less attracted to the explicit sex pics. What I find attractive is the every day naked woman, on a beach, in the woods or wherever whose body is art, but yes, can also be stimulating and viewed as sexual because if I have attraction, maybe they initiate certain feelings of attraction.
