I've always loved nude/topless beaches, but I've never realllly understood the "non-sexual" thing. It's fun to be naked, for its own sake, and it would be nice if we allll were a little more chill about each other's bodies, but I've never been to a nude beach where at least some of the people weren't enjoying the sight of other people's nude bodies. And it's okay.

I mean, I guess if we're saying "naked in public doesn't equal fucking" I'd agree.
 

Why Germans love getting naked in public

Article excerpts: Freikƶrperkultur \ FFK, or ā€œfree-body cultureā€, encompasses a broader German movement with a distinct spirit, where stripping down to your essence in the natural world has historically been an act of both resistance and relief.

ā€œNudism has had a long tradition in Germany,ā€ said Arnd BauerkƤmper, associate professor of modern history at Freie University in Berlin. At the turn of the 20th Century, Lebensreform (ā€œlife reformā€) was in the air, a philosophy that advocated for organic food, sexual liberation, alternative medicine and simpler living closer to nature. ā€œNudism is part of this broader movement, which was directed against industrial modernity, against the new society that emerged in the late 19th Century,ā€ BauerkƤmper said.

Same! Iā€™ve been to nude resorts, beaches and nude campgrounds. To say that there isnā€™t some level of sexual excitement while hanging around a few hundred people seems silly. There is but apparently not everyone thinks similarly!

I was raised in a nudist home and am a 4th generation nudist. My lover and I live the nudist lifestyle and he and I partake in (and also host) social nudist gatherings in our area. Simple nudity should never be considered obscene, indecent or offensive. The human body is a masterpiece and should be celebrated in all it's sizes, shapes and colors, male and female, young and old.
