Why are you naked?
Reading thro many topics on here, and also from the odd venture into the chat rooms, and conversations on other naturist sites, I feel it worth asking the question as to what people's (particularly men's) motivation is for developing a nude lifestyle, especially when it comes to social nudity. Is it just an everyday part of life, or is it something that holds a certain thrill for you that goes beyond just simple enjoyment?
Be honest.
How many guys are naturists simply because they are more comfortable and relaxed that way, and are happy to socialise with other nude folk purely and simply on that basis?
Or how many of you actually like to be naked with other people so you can show off your body and get a good look at other people's?
Even more telling, how many of you are secretly (or not so secretly) hoping for some kind of sexual encounter as a result of being naked around other nudists? Do you relish getting an erection and showing it off to others? Are you always hoping the other men in the shower/on the beach/ in the sauna will also be sporting stiffies - or that someone (be that male or female) will initiate some form of sexual activity?
And where (if anywhere) do you feel the line should be drawn between what is classed as 'simple social naturism' and 'exhibitionism' or 'cruising'?

Primarily just the comfort of being nude, It is also incremental for me. the less I wear, the more comfortable I am.
No interest in showing off or sexual encounters.
This is a quite simple and straightforward answer; it just feels better to me. I really enjoy feeling the air, sun & breeze on my skin and for the more pragmatic out there; I get a lot more chores done and theyre more enjoyable to accomplish. I dont know of a better reason to enjoy being nude than the ones listed above. I am looking forward to seeing everyone elses answers.
I cant speak for anyone else here, but Im sure there are others who feel as I do. I never thought of being nude as a recreational activity or something that I did occasionally. Nudism is part of who I am. It is a component of my innate personality. Im a nudist just as I am an introvert. I exhibit behaviors common to introverts not to be an introvert, but because that is part of who I am. I resist donning clothes whenever practical, visit nude beaches, and spend time nude at home not to be a nudist, but because it is a part of who I am.
I dislike wearing clothes. Im nude whenever and wherever it is feasible. I dont care if anyone sees me, but I do hope not to upset the bigots who might choose to be offended by my appearance. When I go to places where others may be nude, I dont care if they are or not. I believe that they should be free to decide for themselves what to wear, just as I expect to be free to choose my wardrobe. What others wear is not my concern, just as what I wear should be no one elses concern. Unfortunately, not everyone else agrees.
I have always been a people watcher, and I like to watch textiles as much as nudists, but even if I were blind I would enjoy going to nude venues and mingling with others who share my lifestyle, and being nude among a textile group causes no discomfort unless some bigot gets upset. Fortunately, that hasnt happened.
Great question. For me it is comfort. Being clothed when doing yoga or hiking on a hot day just feels wrong. I'm not much of a social person but sharing the freedom of nudity with others is fun. Fun--that is a good word for doing things naked outside. It adds to the fun. There is nothing sexual or exhibitionist about my being nude. Sure, if I see a beautiful woman on a nude beach, I have to keep myself from staring, but that is no different any place else--textile beach or grocery store.
WE are naked as much and as often as possible. We love the freedom, the comfort and the naturalness of it.
WE socialize with others that feel the same way because we can relate to others who feel the same way we do. They get it, they understand it, they agree with this way of life and that too is a comfort to know others like this. Too many times we've tried to talk with friends or family about this way of life and our daily nude life and they don't get, won't understand it and are uncomfortable with even talking about it.
Some of these other nudists we speak with are of the same opinions about raising their kids in nudism. Some are even willing to bring them along to clubs, resorts and beaches. It just a natural way of life and that's why we are naked as much as possible.
I'm naked because it's practical in bed and in the water and in every transition in and out of them.
I'm naked because I grew up with some nudity in those situations, and it feels homey and familiar.
I'm naked because it engenders a feeling of brotherly trust. There was bullying on the playground, but never in the locker room.
I'm naked because of the hippie-era sense that we are all brothers and sisters - the "we" being a community of mutual respect and trust, men and women.
I'm naked because it helps me be fully present in the world; under ordinary clothing I mentally withdraw a bit from the world, shyness and alienation creep in.
I'm naked because it helps me be fully present in my body; my posture is better, I take better care of myself.
I'm naked because the air is good for my skin.
I'm naked because it's not sexy. It's not sexy. It's just real.
The question to me is why are you dressed?
I sleep naked so I start my day my best way. Then i must dress to be socially appeasing. Or to keep warm.
Other than warth. Why do you really need to be dressed? To work in an environment that can be dangerous? Clothed people also put on protective coverings in those environments. A "normal" person would cover to stay safe, nude or not.
My comfort is better without clothes to enjoy life, nature and its joys.
Is it really "normal" to be dressed?
