Nudity

No offense taken - but this is exactly the sort of mistake people make when they think of naturism. We don't go there just to get naked (I can get naked anywhere I like) - we enjoy being in the wild & experiencing nature in the most natural way. Besides the ads you saw must have been for the nudist places that tend to support the stereotypes - for some reason some people get a kick out of others thinking that it's wrong or whatever (like kids getting a kick out of shocking their parents)

People often assume that we are a bunch of swingers etc - nope, wrong again, as I said before after a while you don't even notice who's naked & who isn't.

I suppose there are different types of naturists in this world - we like to think of ourselves as purist naturists, we don't do it for the show or as a fad. There are some people who do, just for the sake of saying that they are nudists (those are nudists NOT naturists).

BTW - as far as taking a walk in the bush (IR stop snickering, it wasn't meant as a sexual pun) with no clothes on (ok IR, you may keep on snickering, it is quite funny) - we do take towels etc with us (we aren't stupid ye know), besides it's quite nice to be able to just dive into a pool in the valley when yer hot.

Well, there are a few here, but the one I've seen the most is one called Caliente (Spanish for "hot"). They had a nude group wedding vow renewal a while back. And recent ads have read "Come join us for karaoke in the Butt Hut lounge!" and the like. I just fail to understand why doing those things in front of others with no clothes on is something worth paying to do. Why not just do it with clothes on? It seems that people do it just to try to be different. And yes, do I really want to see certain people perform "Summer Nights" in the altogether?
But what you do seems more understandable -- being in nature in the most natural state possible. That makes more sense.

The anti-lust, please-don't-make-love-at-our-camp attitude is exactly why my wife and I will never go there. To us it seems the naturists are just as repressive. But I admit, I've never gone, mostly because of the Hedonists Stay Away feeling they convey to me.

that ... and ... we're ugly ... hehehe

Princeton Univerisity used to have the nude olypmics at the first snowfall. But now it has been partially banned because of sexual conduct. It used to be a tradition that on the night of the first snowfall - members of the sophomore class would gather in Holder Courtyard and run around in the snow naked. A couple of years ago there was no snow though - and then the next year the junior class felt they had been cheated - so they also ran. It was a much larger crowd than normal and with the drinking and everything - the event had gotten extremely sexual. After that the University decided they were going to put limits on it. Last thing I had heard was that they can run around in their undeerwear - but not naked.

Here are some articles about the olymics and the ban...

"Crack Down” on Nude Olympics; Proctors to Receive Special Training in Naked Student Apprehension
As part of Janina Montero’s Special Committee on the Nude Olympics, Public Safety officers are preparing to stop aspiring Olympians of the Class of 2002. These preparations include receiving “specialized training [in] apprehension of someone who is naked.” Tiger Magazine’s crack investigative team has obtained a copy of the Pequod packet for this one time course, and the contents are shocking.

* Proctors should never attempt to apprehend a naked student on their own. The life of a proctor is far more important than protecting the University from the scourge of frolicking nudes. Always call for the special four-man nude apprehension teams (FNAT).

* The “shooter” of the FNAT is responsible for taking photos that can be used in nude identification. The “shooter” should take enough pictures to fully distinguish the nude in question. 20-30 should be sufficient. Try to shoot from as close as possible, and from multiple angles. Upon returning to Stanhope Hall, immediately choose the best photos and upload them to www.princeton.edu/~arbisser/proctorporn/

* The two “gropers” of the FNAT are responsible for nude apprehension. Due to the extreme physical exertion that this job demands, Public Safety will be raising its physical fitness standards. All “gropers” must weigh under 260 lbs. and have less than 32.1% body fat. In addition, they must be able to complete the 40 yd. dash in under 54.3 seconds (excluding rest periods, of course).

* When physically apprehending a nude, “gropers” must take care to avoid touching the genital areas of the nudes at all costs. This cannot be over-emphasized! Such areas have been proven to be incredibly “icky” and are presumed dangerous. These areas control the minds of volatile college students, whose reactions to groping are unpredictable. We repeat, these areas are sensitive and highly flammable.

* The last member of the FNAT, the “fat matron,” is responsible for proctor vehicle safeguarding, radio music selection, temperature control, donut consumption, and confiscated alcohol “disposal.”

I never saw the Nude Olympics take place - I just knew about it.

I beleive that in modern culture, we take nudity too much as a form of sexual act...in other cultures its considered a beatiful thing...

[Coney]

Well, I'm digging up this old fossil because I found a news item that shows not all nudity is seen as gratuitous

There is kindness and charity (not to mention beauty) in nudity

Cant' wait to see the film........should be a good story
