I am confused
Question: do Jewish nudists display their "gentiles"?
LOL - thanks for the smiles.
Nudism is not about displaying anything. When you disrobe, you lose the anxiety and stress. It's not about seeing or being seen. It's is about relaxing, de-stressing, and returning to innocence. The genitalia is just one part of the being, the vessel for the person. Nudism is about accepting yourself and others for who you are, how you act, and what you say rather than what you look like, own, or wear. It's enjoying the freedom from clothing and enjoying the air, wind, surf on you.
Nudism is a healthy life style.Being completely nude means I am practicing a healthy life style.If I cover my genitals with a few square inches of cloth I am not practicinga healthy lifestyle.Why must I display my genitals to be healthy?
The framing is textile oriented. Nudism and Naturism are about wearing no clothes to escape the way clothes cover, exaggerate and objectify the body. Wearing little clothing is no different than wearing lots from the perspective of the nude experience, and covering the genitals regularly suggests there is something wrong, shameful or private in a negative way about those body parts. That kind of psychology is what is often unhealthy.
I find it relaxing and fun , and many I am lucky but so far I have only run into 2 people who were negative about my nudity , one was my own sister . The only comment I get from people is it not something they would do but it does not bother them that I am

Yes nudism is a healthy lifestyle, but it's not like having to wear a swimsuit is going to kill anyone, unless we're still curing our loincloths in mercury...
Is OP really asking why we have to wear clothes?
I had an interesting conversation with my wife. She surprised me by saying she doesn't find nudism necessarily healthy per se; compared to - let's say - having a good workout and a healthy organic meal afterwards. Nor does she feel it particularly "liberating" in the sense that she feels better about her nude body as a result of social nudity. So she doesn't attach her own body-acceptance to nudism, because she already accepts her body.
So then: why even be a nudist at all? Well because it's just fun and relaxing. Could she have the same fun and relaxation at a clothed beach in a bikini or topless? Not necessarily because of the "sensation" or not having anything; not even a thin piece of fabric, "obstructing" any part of the body.
Some would argue that the "sensation" is actually what makes nudism healthy. And it's also a good point.
