asexuality and nudism
I feel like most of the other asexuals I've talked to are afraid of their bodies. Moreso I think than any other sexuality I've talked to. However, there are a good amount who are completely fine with it, so I don't know if the group I've seen are just very discreet when it comes to their bodies.
Nudism isn't about sexuality, so it doesn't relate either way.
ok, so how do you tell asexuality (word etymology is important, the a is privative , a negation, so a sexual means no sexual, literally), from what .you are advocating without asking someone? Like, the person isn't sexual AT ALL. That's not acceptable? Weird.

Hi. Asexuality is the lack of an orientation on the sexual spectrum. Folks are getting all into the word having sexual in it, but just like being a heterosexual nudist is ok, and not anything to do with sex the act, A sexuality (that is greek grammar, the a is like a minus sign, it means no sexuality at all. So to my view, someone who is never sexual follows their rules better than someone who is not sexual in nudism but maybe once a year for research or childmaking.
The thing is, talking about sex in the sex section is wrong, unless you don't talk about it. The question is legitimate, and the answer is clear if the posters bothered to use a dictionary. As to body shame, that may not be asexuality per se, but trauma, or something else, but some folks self define that way. In any case, don't bring this up at a resort you'll get the same reaction (and it's kinda against the rules most places so...fair). Body shame is prevalent in textile culture. There's lots of resources about it. I don't know if the thing you think is true or not, but if you are in coming out or support groups there tends to be lots more issues because that's what they are there for.
Being nude socially helps with body shame and self confidence, and that discussion is a good one, but not for here. It's almost not the place for Asex but because it is classed with things that are not like it at all, it is seen as the presence of rather than absence of.

Heterosexual
Nudism isn't about sexuality, so it doesn't relate either way.
Does that make any sense? I mean, there is a sexuality in this category, one that a good chunk of nudists are, and it's not ever thought that when someone says they are heterosexual, that they mean let's get jiggy with it. The question was about body shame and body comfort, not some silly reaction to a term that means "no sex". The next thing you all will be going through the rules at the camps and striking out the word sex in the "no sexual activity on the premises".
I don't understand the disconnect between nudism and sexuality. Why shouldn't nudists be sexual? But being sexual and engaging in sexual activities are two different things. Since it's inappropriate or rude to talk German in the company of others who don't speak German, I won't speak German in such settings, but it doesn't mean that I will deny or avoid it or come out as speaker.
As far as asexuality, I personally don't believe in it. I will allow that option for others as they decide. I have even considered if it applied to myself, but have learned to differentiate that whereas my sexuality was repressed to the point that I could feel sexual, I have both spirit and sexuality. I recognize that sexuality has many expressions. One may dine or prepare a gourmet meal, fully enjoying the process with orgiastic pleasure, whereas his neighbor might go to an all night orgy. But aren't viable expressions of sexuality? Thus I say, at least for men: there is only one sexuality, and it is masculine.
The fundamental convention of social nudity is that we behave as if were clothed, only naked. The nudity is not considered to be a sexual display or sexual invitation. So as an asexual, you can navigate social nudity the same way you do social clothed-ness. No more awkward than that, and no less. You do not need to explain yourself, except in the context of a relationship where your sexuality is directly relevant.
