Nudists on TV are the Butts of the Joke

Guest blog by: Amanda Hughes

Here's a riddle. I am mid-20's, female, 5'6″ brunette, healthy, and I work a 9-5 job in a city.

What am I?

A nudist!

But chances are you didn't guess that unless you are one.

Nudists understand we come in all shapes, sizes and walks of life, but the people thinks we are all old, retired sex addicts.

Until you have tried it, you'll probably knock it. Nudists are the butt of the media's jokes (pun intended).

This show generally does an excellent job of depicting alternate lifestyles, but their recent episode, "Awesome Year's Eve," was an eye-rolling letdown. When Phil and Claire believe they have a delightful hot spring to their naked selves, a gaggle of nudists show up for "Nude Years Eve" (which by the way is an excellent thought).

Instead of shrugging it off and going with the flow, they are visibly upset and have a look at the nudists like there is something wrong with them.

The nudists signified in the show are a fair sample of who you see at naturist resorts. They're middle-aged, friendly, and unabashed about stripping down. The crowd is relatively normal except for the creepy resort bell hop who first told the couple about the hot spring. He afterwards shows up with the nudists, and the implication is that his goal was to see them nude.

Because only creepy pervs would inform you about a clothing-optional hot spring nearby, right? http://www.online.uillinois.edu/catalog/clicks.asp?URL=https://nudist-teens.xyz do not sexualize the scene - a good move - but they also do not give us anything of material or anything we can learn from it, other than the cue that we should laugh at the nudists, not with them. Why can not Phil and Claire say, "Oh what the heck, we're already naked!" and go along with it? Why the faces of disgust? Yes, their private moment is destroyed, but why freak out about being nude in front of people who certainly don't care?

I get it. Anything we as a society do not comprehend is strange. And anything weird is wrong. But talking from personal experience, as someone who had no exposure to nudism until maturity, NOTHING feels stranger than putting clothes back on after you've been without them for a weekend.

You start to think about how unnecessary clothes are. How they tell us so much about someone before we've a chance to get to know them. When we are all naked, we're all on a level playing field. There is nowhere to hide. And what you realize after getting over the first giggles and jolt which you can see everyone's private parts is that we are the same. There is no status. There's no context by which to judge others. What you are left with is something pure, unadulterated and liberating.

Imagine standing in http://www.nccu.edu/leaving.cfm?destination=beachnude.xyz with no clothing on. Why go indoors, it is not like your clothes will get wet! Imagine taking a shower with a handful of new friends, all nude, and it isn't unusual.

Nude karaoke. Nude grilling. Naked yoga. Naked camping - now there's something. Don't you hate having to throw on a bunch of clothes in a miniature tent right when you wake up, only to go to the toilet? All of these are things I Have done with the Nudist Portal, and I'm not a middle aged sex freak.

Now tell me one scenario that wouldn't be better nude. https://smccd.edu/disclaimer/redirect.php?url=https://nudebeach.top got nothing.
