A THOUGHT

Man is the sole animal whose nudities offend his own companions, and the only one who, in his natural actions, withdraws and hides himself from his own kind.
Montaigne, Apology for Raymond Sebonde

got tanlines? no.

The naturist page is about a state of mind. It's not about looking at naked people. It's not about watching, its about being. It's not about sex (which is certainly organic, this just isn't the forum). If you're looking for sex, understand you'll be disappointed here.

Now days naked people are all over TV and the newsstands, but nude people cause chaos. If someone were to walk down a sidewalk in a reasonably large city at lunchtime nude, rather than being just an odd curiosity, it would be headline news. There would, without a doubt, be lots of commotion and maybe a car accident or two. Probably a siren and perhaps even an arrest. People in our uptight, anal society freak out completely at naked people. Why is that? I don't know. We'll consider the question here.

A man named Charles Daney wrote an interesting piece called Humanist Naturism. It's a thought-provoking read if you're so inclined.

As for me I just think it's stupid to wear big, baggy, long (and getting longer) 'shorts' to swim in and then sitting around in cold, clammy, often gritty, swimsuits afterward. Why do we do it?
