Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

As I read various articles and delve deeper in to the lifestyle choices outside what the majority of the world consider normal, I have discovered that there is one thing that is prevalent among all of them, the feeling that we need to hide it from everyone. I know for a several years I chose to hide my lifestyle from people because I was afraid of what they might think or what they might say or even possibly do. I hear all the time from various people, all because I choose not to hide the fact that I am a, here I go again with that word, A NUDIST. “OMG you’re a pervert”“Psst, don’t go around that man or let your kids anywhere near him because he doesn’t wear any clothes.” “You mean you let your kids see you like that?” “OMG You’re creepy, how could you let your family (wife, son, daughter) take those kinds of pictures of you?” “Somebody needs to call the local children’s services on you!” “Nobody wants to see that nasty stuff.” “They will fire you if they find out.” “You will never get a job” “The bible says that is a sin and you’re going to hell.” We all have our reasons for wanting to hide our chosen lifestyle/s but fear and shame seem to be the biggest reasons. What are your reasons for not being more confident, being proud of the lifestyle you have chosen and announcing to “your world”, I AM “insert lifestyle choice here!”? I choose to no longer hide who or what I am so for the record, here is my announcement. My name is Moe and I am a nudist, bisexual, husband, father, son, brother, christian and a biker. I think the biggest thing I am is no longer afraid.

Side: Yes

As time goes by, more and more people know about my nudist lifestyle. Do I announce it or tell everyone? I can't say I do because I have too much to lose if I do. My job is important and also my family and friends. Most people do not understand the naturist lifestyle and are not in tune with it. This makes me feel like a total outcast and even though I have nothing to hide I feel I must keep it try to keep it from certain people. It is almost like I am a bad guy, or something. I am getting tired of going to sit in the back of the bus and I feel like I may become the object of some unjust hatred because of my beliefs. There are places for you nudists to go you know. Most people call them Nudist Colonies, but to me this is like calling it a Prison Camp or something. It is like we cannot be a part of the normal world, because we are not normal. But then again I am just the same as you, I just don't like clothes very much, they hide the inner beauty of the real me!
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

"Natural" does come up with some serious questions and concerns. And hopefully we'll be able to help pull these out and resolved.BTW, they are called "Nudist Resorts", not Colonies. We have not used the term Colonies in over sixty years. This is a fine example of the rest of society not understanding what naturism is (or called) even though the public has been told for over sixty years through education and media. We do not "colonize" any more than a golf club. Does going nude at a golf club suddenly make it a "colony"? No it doesn't. Does going nude camping at a campground such as KOA make it a "colony"? No, but it will soon be called that by those who doesn't know what naturism (not naturalist) is. (Meant only as update, clarification and a little education) :D

Freedom comes with price called tolerance. The 9th amendment of the U.S. Constitution says nonspecific rights are protected by the constitution. No one can stop others from exercising their rights even if someone may be offended by their freedom. "I believe that people have the right to their own beliefs. I do not feel people have got the right to stop me from expressing my beliefs by picking up the phone, calling the police and having me put in prison." "Don't let those who have body negative values define what is and what is not acceptable. Body shame, like prejudice, is not natural. It is learned from others and benefits no one. "Nudity is a state of fact; lewdity, to coin a phrase, is a state of mind." Why teach our children to have disgust at the sight of a mere naked body?

I had to up vote you.. Nudism is just something else people would abuse. Like..., yoga-pants. They were NOT designed foe EVERYBODY. An yet, I see yoga-pants being abused everyday. It's a bad situation to be subjected to that ;-)
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: yes

Nude is only part of being human, it would bother me, besides most people are not going to be nude in the public.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?

you have the liberty to do what ever you want until it messes with someone elses liberty.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Hey, if you're comfortable enough with your body that you wanna streak for life, then go ahead. It would be awesome if people could go naked on a daily basis. Shit, i would be hugging everybody.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Many of today's leaders were naturists or nudists, to me it seems very strange that many people have a very bad attitude against these very meek and open people! It should be our God given right to dress as we wish as long as we are not harming others. Many have the opinion sex and nudity are one in the same, which they are not. If you have never taken your clothes off and walked out in your back yard, you should do it now! If you have never gone to a nudist beach, why? What is holding you back?0
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Interestingly, the title (Nudism) doesn't match the question (Nudity). Nudism is a philosophy or a life style. It should be expressed publicly without restrictions even if it includes nudity.Nudity by itself should not be declared illegal, only actions or behaviour. How the human body could be declared illegal or harmful for others to see? We do not live in Saudi Arabia nor in Ancient times when people believed in magical power of eyes (cf. Medusa Gorgon). Or do we?
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Speaking on the side of Christianity, I submit this argument.If God created man (male and female, or humanity) in his image and likeness, then just what part of God are you ashamed of, are you afraid of? Do you think that God is ashamed of his creation? We look up to artists who draw and create statues of nude bodies and put them up in museums and art galleries, hang them up in our homes. Yet we think God, who created those bodies called "art" is ashamed and want to cover his beautiful creation? What foolish people we are.It is in our blindness, our hard heartedness that we see ourselves this way. We are projecting our shame and fear on God and thus covering what HE created called "very good". Please check out my website at http://bacn.bravesites.com/ for more information on Christianity and Nudism. You will be surprised what Christians can think of nudity. I am currently nude in my home, in the living room with my family as I write this. We have no shame or fear of the human body. It is as God created and called "Very Good". Look it up!
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

If God was against nudity, then why does he still create us naked? If you don't believe that, then take a closer look at a new born baby.Some say "I can't help it, I was born that way" and get by with that answer, then so can I."I can't help being nude, I was born that way"Live Nude and Prosper
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Clothings function is to protect us; look at gloves- we have warm gloves to keep our hands warm, and we have work gloves to protect our hands from injury. The fact that they cover the skin on the hands is not the intended function of gloves, merely a necessity for them to function.That should extend to all clothing. If somebody does not wish to wear clothing, they should not be required to. If an individual objects to seeing a nude body, they should cast their gaze elsewhere- the problem lies with the objecting individual, not the nude individual.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Certainly do agree nudism is fine in public. In fact, I don't believe you need to refer to it as nudism unless it is in public.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Sure, what is the big deal? We don't seem to mind violence and that is much more harmful. Also, if you don't like nudity you can look away.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

If Naturism was socially accepted I feel it would reduce the amount of sexually motivated crimes because the human body would no longer be the taboo that it is in the western world, tribes have been comfortable with naturism for centuries and yet they are considered primitive? how can they be primitive when they can accept that which the "First world" can not - definitely should be accepted. Accepting does not mean it will be compulsory but it would give people the freedom of speech and choice that we already claim to have but clearly haven't got yet
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Naturism is a way of life in harmony with nature, characterized by the practice of communal nudity, with the intention of encouraging respect for oneself, respect for others and for the environment.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Yes, but not anyplace. There must be places designated for nude use by authorities that is police protected.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Sure, why not. It will probably break down some other barriers.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

To Quote the NeoNudist:"The argument of indecent exposure, and public decency is often made by those that feel that the requirement to wear clothing is best for everyone. but it could not be further from the truth. The positives of a Naturist lifestyle far outweigh any perceived negatives, which are only derived from a lack of understanding, and irrational fear.  And the real public decency would be to not ban and criminalize the natural form of the human body, nor would it require a mask or support any notion to hide our true self, or that such a thing could be an offense to another human being having had also been born with a human body. nor would it support the perversion of morality itself, by suggesting that view of the uncovered human body could only be of sexual nature. but support that the body is a part of our personality and who we are.Just remember true freedom means never having to hide who and what you are."

Sure once the birds are fit :) if they're tubbies forget it......
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

We humans are another species like animals. Surely we should have the same acceptance. We are not born into artificial living, we are born natural. Amazingly the clothed community often make judgements towards others appearances, whether make up, hair, especially fashion and weight, etc.. Public nudity will open the doors to a better acceptance of the individual and their own body issues (if, any). The way forward I believe is to go way back to the beginning away from the conditioned methods which society has been affected by for a long time. If it wasn't public nudity it would be race, gender, or something else that someone would either judge or be ignorant towards. Stay nude, stay happy!! AC
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Who does it really harm? People get so offended by it for no good reason. It is perceived as being sexual but nudity on its own is not. Some people will say it harms children yet we are born naked and it seems most children are natural nudists until told not to be. If they are so offended, they could just look away.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

People often think nudity is inherently sexual, but it isn't. If You Have ever been in a nudist environment you will quickly see how quickly it becomes no big deal. We have such a fear of nudity that is crazy and makes us scared and uncomfortable of our own bodies.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT IF YOU TRULY FEEL COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN, AND FEEL THAT THERE IS NOTHING WHAT SO EVER WRONG WITH BEING NAKED, THEN WHY NOT EMBRACE IT. AS LONG AS IT DONE WITH CARE AND RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLES WISHES, AND THERE IS NOTHING GRATUITOUS, THEN WE SHOULD BE ALLOWED THAT FREEDOM OF CHOICE TO BE NAKED IN PUBLIC, AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT IS NOT ACTUALLY ILLEGAL.HOPE TO HEAR FROM ALL YOU SUPPORTERS SOON.THANKS.BAT BITERS PARTNER, EMMA
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

No, just no. Do you really want to see your grandparents walking around in the buff?
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: yes

I wouldn't have minded one bit seeing my grandparents naturally naked, why not? Ive seen so many naked bodies of all shapes,sizes,colours,ages in my 50 yrs of being a practising naturist that I can honestly say that EVERY body is natural and normal, even those that have limbs missing,mastectomys and disabled - you are definitely NOT missliberal rather missconservative!We should live and let live, not be judgemental, nudity cannot harm you, just because you don't want to see something doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed - I hate to see people with pierced tongues and eyebrows but I'm prepared to let them be!
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

No, I only meant that as a joke! Each and every body is beautiful; young and old. However, I do believe that bodies are to be shared with one's devoted partner. Public nudism is technically free pornography for the world; plus, here in Canada, nudism is not even an option unless you want to freeze! As a Catholic (not a conservative!), I believe that our bodies and human sexuality should be protected.With that said, I wouldn't judge anyone who would choose nudism as a lifestyle. It is their personal choice for themselves.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Thank you miisliberal for that clarification. I don't agree that nudity is pornography. I am a Catholic and I have total respect for the body, but I don't think we should necessarily be afraid to be as God created us, our skin should be sufficient covering(when it's warm enough!). I've been on lots of naturist beaches and to resorts where it is the norm for whole families of all ages to be naturally clothesfree together, nothing even remotely sexual occurs!Just wondering, what are your views on the Freemont Solstice paraders, mostly bodypainted but still naked!(see attached link), the spectators(of all ages)are not offended! All the best!
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

However, walking around "clothesfree" is just asking for people to look at you with lust. Again, I would not judge anyone choosing nudity as a lifestyle, but it is not for me.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

Not a conservative? Had to throw that in didn't you. It figures, but it doesn't even make sense
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

"Technically free pornography". Well here are the definitions of pornography:Definition of PORNOGRAPHY1: the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement2: material (as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement3: the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction I don't see how nudity falls under any of those definitions. I am Canadian and live in Southern Ontario. We have summers that reach up to 35° C. Nudity is an option from May through to October. We invented these things called resources such as electricity and natural gas. They allow us to have heated buildings with indoor pools that allow people in the Frozen North swim in the Winter. Imagine that. The fact that you are Catholic should have no bearing on you point of view regarding nudity. The Christian faith nor the bible say anything about the nude body being obscene or requiring "protection".
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Nudity is not pornography. Pornography is defined as: "The description or display of sexual organs or activities to inspire erotic, rather than aesthetic or emotional, feelings." One of the largest problems in our culture today is the automatic association of nudity with sexuality. Not all nudity is sexual.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Exactly, "just because you don't want to see something doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed" I wouldn't want to see it and so would other people. It's a good idea to keep it as a private thing for individual interests. No one needs to indulge someone other who says that, "other do it, so why don't I?" (Nothing about you.)
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

EVERY body is beautiful! If one only wants to see nude people who have perfect, or nearly perfect bodies, one is selfish and immature.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Of course I do. It would mean that they were still living. I'd like that. But, I find that people who object most to nudity are the ones that can not separate simple nudity from sex. I want those of you who object most to nudity, think about your first thoughts when you see a photo of a nude a senior citizen or obese individual. One of the things that I've heard most from the clothes compulsives' around me is "Who would want to have sex with that?" I have even heard that from TV reporters covering some nude event where old or fat people were present. The problem seems to originate in the dirty little minds of the clothes compulsive.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

If nudism was allowed, there would be wet spots on many public seats where women have sat. ;-)
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

JUst to say, it is the convention the Nudists carry small towels - NOT to cover their natural genital parts but to sit on, so that there will be no germs passed to another, so they DO respect health laws!
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

Oh..., well..., That's nice to know..., I guess. ;-)
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

While I think some bodies are attractive the majority of bodies that would be shown are NOT. This would make me feel ill. Your sitting in a nice restaurant eating and some big obese person sits next to you…no thanks. Can you imagine sitting on the same seat naked as the naked person before you. LOL Oh my the germs we could get.And men would get erections….how many times a day? Oh that one would cause a few marital fights wouldn't it? I can't imagine public nudity and what it would cause. Your teacher is presenting an idea in front of the class and all of a sudden he gets an erection…..yea right.Who could get work done? And women on their periods? How many of you would care to see a woman wearing a maxi pad……openly?Notice that the picture above presented all skinny people…..LOLHad they all been fat and out of shape…..how many of you would have liked that? Come on be honest...
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: yes

Why are you concentrating on erections? I've been in many naturist resorts,beaches,and in all sorts of areas but they VERY rarely happen! Natursits are very concerned not to embarass or offend but we DO want the right to wear as much or as little as we please, it's a natural human right! And as for women on their periods they would wear panties or those things that are called tampons!We have been conditioned to only accept people of a certain shape/build - why not accept people of all sizes/shapes/colours, now THAT is proper human acceptance and equality!
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

I personally would not judge anyone who was choosing that life style. However, isn't sexuality something we should keep special for our married/devoted partner?
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

I love when women wear panties on their periods. It's lovely for women to want to cry wearing panties on their periods. Which I love when women wear panties on their periods, is that I love too see them in their panties and they see me in my briefs.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

I love when women wear panties on their periods. It's lovely for women to want to cry wearing panties on their periods. Which I love when women wear panties on their periods, is that I love too see them in their panties and they see me in my boxer briefs.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Just because someone is naked doesn't mean they are obnoxious if they are "fat" or "thin" (what is "acceptable" then). Also it's etiquette to carry a towel to sit on this avoids t/f of germs. And why would men get erections, it's very unusual to see an aroused male on a nude beach or in nude social events, yes it MAY happen but it's a natural phenomena! Look at the hundreds riding in the World Naked Bike rides in London,Brighton,Manchester etc naked men and women and no complaints by the thousands who see them!So live and let live, Nudity is Natural, to be Naked is to be Yourself!
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

I only say no because it is looking very grose. But it should be normal.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

The naked body is a piece of nature. You shouldn't think of it as grose because in reality, the naked body is the only thing we were given when we were born.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

no. I feel the same way about nudism the same way I feel about public displays of affection. Everyone should have, at least, their private parts covered, but also to dress appropriately for public decency. And as for public displays of affection, giving your beloved a quick hug and/or peck on the cheek, okay. Anything else, no way.
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: No

I know everyone has the rights and all but I personally don't want to see a person naked. Neither do I want any of my future children seeing anyone naked either. Also, it would make rape a lot easier since one person is already naked, or both. (No offense to nudists.)
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

Since when has clothing been any sort of proctection against rape?
Debate: Do You Think That Nudism Should Be Accepted In Public?
Side: Yes

So, if the sight of something displeases you, you think it should be illegal? Should this be the basis for a law? I don't like the look of that group of people -- throw them all in jail!
