This is a good view. 👍

As a kid I saw many many naked people. Friends, family friends, people my age and adults. And all it did to me is convince me there is nothing weird or anything to hide about nudity.

Blocking & reporting shouty and arrogant USian so-called “naturist equality” accounts is my new vibe. 😉

God, the gatekeepers and One True Way types are all over the naked lifestyle these days. 🤦‍♂️ It’s getting tiring.

Just let people be themselves and stop judging everyone for doing things *slightly* different.

I went to unfollow you as it seems we’re never going to agree on anything, but found I didn’t follow you anyway! And now I remember… unfollowed ages ago because of your other gatekeeping posts. 🤦‍♂️ I’ll give you time to read this then block so you won’t be bothered by my questions again.

And breathe! 😂 Good grief, take a chill pill. Guessing you’re American if you’re quoting Reagan? If so that could explain the issue as we are debating in different languages.

Just FYI… basic courtesy when debating on a length-limited medium is to respond in one post, not a thread. Threads are impossible to answer and block posting like that is no better than astroturfing (or do I mean sealioning?).

So. Many. Assumptions.

I started this with a couple of questions, and hoped to keep it debate-y and respectful, but apparently that’s not gonna happen. Oh well. 🤷‍♂️ Shame. I kinda thought that was the point of posting on socials.

This is a prime example of falling into the “no true Scotsman” fallacy. Any group like naturism is diverse, with many reasons for being there and many interpretations. But the moment someone decides on the One True Way™️ much of the group gets excluded.

I've never experienced this mythical 'naturist community'; naked people are no easier to bring under one label than any other group. Everyone does it for their own reasons, with no entry exam or contract.

I would agree that is the nudist *club* etiquette for sure. But I grew up around many naked people and yet I never encountered the towel thing until relatively recently.

No probs. Not sure I can find the tools though so I may need to use my teeth if that’s okay? 😉

Is this post about “hygiene”? Because firstly that bench will have had animals all over it so it’s hardly clean. Secondly, do you genuinely believe that a single layer of cloth such as a pair of trousers actually isolates bum from bench? 🤔

I vaguely remember warmer weather. Naked breakfast in the garden… not having to find layers just to walk out to the car. It’ll be back soon. ☀️

Good look, btw. 👍👍

Back in history everyone was naked and no-one thought about it. Then clothes appeared, and with them “modesty”, especially for women. Now on our way back to nakedness we feel we have to be “perfect” to do it. It would be good to study how this happened.

Together, we make naturism possible.
Around the world, federations work every day to organize, protect, and maintain safe and respectful naturist spaces, for everyone.
When you become a member, you’re not just joining an organization.
You’re strengthening a global movement.
Be part of it. 🌍

You have excellent taste in outfits.

Both are good, but the second has the edge. 👍

This… yep, this summarises my feelings pretty well too (as posted by @vianaziz.bsky.social on the other place).

Is this possibly the world’s most useless backup? 😂

I can’t even remember what computer this was from, let alone which OS.

I’ve been clearing out the loft, and in one of the boxes I found this copy of @britnaturism.bsky.social magazine from 2001, still unopened. 😂

I hope there was no time-critical need-to-know info in there. 😂😂

Another great look. 👍

The finger across the lens makes me think this was taken without her knowledge.

That is definitely a dress. 👍

Got the moves. 👍

Unfortunately for me I do mean the “follow” feed. “Discover” is a whole different thing, but on my “Follow” feed I regularly see old posts from infrequent posters appearing before new posts from others.

I suspect it’s not due to how many followers you have so much as how many people they follow. I find it prioritises showing photos from a wide range of people even if they haven’t posted in ages, rather than lates content from regular posters. It’s weird.

Cool view. 😉

We all wore the actually short shorts, but not many could get away with the crop tops. I liked the look of them, but they didn’t work on me, so I just went with mostly open shirts instead (and still do tbh).

I still buy shorts and then cut a bit off the bottom to make them actually ‘short’.
