When Nudists Need To Wear Clothes

Tweet

I am a naturist (nudist) at times. I have been to a few organized naturist events, mostly at swimming pools. Obviously in general life and work, naturists stay dressed just like anyone else does. At home alone or in the company / view of non-nudists clothes are worn so as not to generate shock or angry reaction or moral indignation. There is an interesting debate at present on whether or not naturists should wear footwear when involved in official organized outdoor naturist activity. There is a practicality in wearing shoes or boots or at least, sandals and flip-flops outdoors. No one wants broken glass or sharp stones in the foot. Other naturists feel as if the nudity should be absolute though. I tend to disagree. There are times when some practical wear is useful if not essential. If cooking, especially with hot oil spitting frying pans then an apron is advisable. If cycling, a safety helmet is essential, and the same goes with footwear when unsure of the terrain underfoot. It was amusing on one discussion about this in referring to thongs – some Australians refer to sandals as thongs, while to many of us the thong is an item of not much to the imagination swimwear, and nudists are indifferent to leaving anything to the imagination. I have included a photo of me fully clothed for which you should be very grateful lol Arthur Chappell
