Balderdash.For the most part, I agree with that statement. :)My 5 cents on this topic.On the one hand, I do not subscribe to the idea (sometimes proclaimed by nudist ideologues) that "everyone looks the same" or "no pays attention." Maybe if you're away from the crowd looking in; then yes, naked bodies might seem to just "blend in" together. And I think most resort nudists would actually find it a little "unsettling" if other nudists in fact did not pay any attention to them.I've been a social nudist for 25ish years, and it would just be disingenuous for to me to say that I've never found anyone physically attractive because "everyone looks the same" or "I didn't pay attention." Interpersonal interactions in close settings/proximity required my full attention, and the diversity in physical attributes is hard to ignore when people are naked right in front of me. And yes I've had a fair share of "oh wow" moments.Now for my "other hand." Let's take for example a nudist friend of my wife and I's, who is considered - in accord with our mutual friends and acquaintances - attractive. She also happens to be fairly uninhibited and confident in her nakedness - which probably adds to her attractiveness. But here's the thing: her uninhibitedness is clearly an expression of body-positivity (or lack of body-shame); as opposed to an expression of sexuality. What's the difference? Whether you're looking at an OF model online, an exotic dancer sliding naked down a pole; or if you're lucky, your wife in the bedroom being "sexy" to punctuate a romantic evening - the BIG difference is intent and context.The point here is that when you come to understand social nakedness as an expression of body-positivity (or lack of body-shame), and unless you're a complete animal; by acclimatization or desensitization or habituation or whatever you want to call it, you start seeing it very differently from an expression of sexuality. The friend I mentioned above: I never thought of her in a sexual sense, no matter how attractive I found her/how exposed she was in front of me.But, that can take many trips to the resort/club, and a lot of socialization with other nudists. Online "nudism" just ain't going to do it.Anyway I hope my post makes sense it was all stream of consciousness.

Absolutely agree, 100 percent. Makes perfect sense and this along with my agreement, comes from lifelong nudist guys with nudist wives that are social nudists and NOT online nudists.

When some home and backyard nudists get bored and spend a lot of time online on these sites, they can come up with some really weird things to try and get people to chime in. FIRST and foremost, the idea that nudists don't have sex is dumb and was taken out of context years ago on here. I should know, I started the conversation when a couple that is no longer here, thank God, tried to make nudism ALL about sex. I responded that nudism doesn't equal sex and nudism isn't about sex. I never said, "nudists don't have sex." When speaking of nudism, as a lifestyle, the philosophy of nudism has nothing to do about sex. I was speaking of its very early inception. It certainly has changed over the years and those of us that still believe in the original intent of nudism, still hold true to the philosophy of nudism/naturism. With the swinger groups hiding behind words like "lifestylers" and sometimes taking over nudist places, most times real nudists get lumped into their seedy alternative life and many think we're all like that.

How 'bout we get off this notion that nudists don't have sex and there are lots of nudists that feel that way. It's not true and it was something a swinger couple liked to spout off about to try and make his irrelevant argument about. The nudist lifestyle has nothing to do with sex is not saying, nudists don't have sex.
