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?
All good answers here and I can relate to almost all of them. This is a good question and one that I htink reveals het place of nudists in society. For me, it is _not_ about exhibitionism and sex. Like many who responded, I fall into the category of "more comfortable and relaxed that way". I have had this nudism-and-sex conversation with many textiles and I always point out that textiles sometimes have sex and nudists sometimes abstain; it is not about sex but is about freedom and the sensation one gets. Being sexual - we all are made that way - is not dependent on whether we wear clothes.
Your question is one Ive asked myself many times. Based on my experience of being naked so much of the time, my first reason is comfort. I live alone, so there is no particular reason to dress after waking or when working from home or doing dailies. I prefer not wearing anything when its not necessary. But I am perfectly comfortable dressed in the situations that require it (work, volunteering, shopping, socializing with non-nudistswhich in my case is almost everyone). I seek out places to be naked, alone or with others, especially on travels .I have only a small network of nudist friends, and our interactions are not sexual or titillating. Occasionally I find myself naked in places that do have a more sexually charged atmosphere on my travels. I can maintain a nudists perspective regardless. I appreciated the above comment that one might find somebody attractive naked or clothed. It doesnt change one from being a nudist to a voyeur or exhibitionist.
Im more comfortable naked. As some others have said its just part of who I am. From a very young age I can remember being naked often and my mom would try to keep me clothed . Summer trip to the beach id lose my suit, home alone id strip off. Teen years bought on the sexuality angle but as Ive aged that has subsided, and im just comfortable being naked whenever or wherever I can. Hiking biking, resorts vacations and sleep naked . Stay naked at home except when the kids are around. My wife encourages me in my nudity. I am very fortunate.

How old are your kids?
Do any of them live with you?

I'm enjoying all your replies - pretty much all of which chime with my own feelings about naturism. I have long felt more comfortable and relaxed without clothes, and these days only tend to put them on when society or the weather dictates. I particularly enjoy the sense of 'connection' when walking naked in the woods and hills - and also find a level of connection with other nudists which I don't often find with textile friends, partly because I feel more confident in myself in that setting and, for some reason, better able to be open and honest about who I am, what I think etc.
I am intrigued that no one so far has admitted to finding social nudity a sexual turn on - I know there are guys on the side who do, and for whom that side of things seems to be a major motivation. Only yesterday I had a message from someone wanting to arrange to meet up, who quickly went on to 'You won't mind if I get an erection will you? How about w@nking? Would you s*ck my c*ck?'. To me that is not what naturism/nudism is about - it's about sex and whether or not one is wearing clothes is largely irrelevant.
Comfort 1 . I tend to be hot blooded and in temps most people are comfy i am too warm. shedding clothes helps
Comfort 2. Restrictive clothes chafe . tight clothes around any part of my body annoy me. Turtle necks, snug fitting anything , even pocket watches are uncomfortable. If clothed things are loose fitting. and always freeballing
Non-comformist. Always been a bit of one. Food taste, music, whatever. that easily spills over into clothing or lack there of.
Exhibitionist. I won't deny that i enjoy being noticed. When I do wear clothes i tend to wear lots of colors and not muted ones. My line
is " I try to be the brightest person in the room and I will let you define bright" Being the only one nude is certainly noticeable.
Lack of tan lines. always a bonus
Vulnerability. I have a hot tub and the number of nude soaks with the chats that come along with them have opened conversations about life
for both of us have been very rewarding.
Those are my rambling thoughts.
One thing I have noticed while hiking nude is that that animals I come across seem to care less about me walking by.
I have had coyotes walk near me and barely turn their heads within 100 yards. Similar with deer and the smaller critters. Even shunk crossed by and did not seem to care.
