Is Nudism Kinky?

Nudism in itself is not kinky, it is completely natural. It is only perverted in the brains of some moral preachers who think they are masters of custom and immorality. And that has nothing to do with whether someone is religious or not. Personally, I consider myself to be very religious, and yet I, like my wife, am an enthusiastic naturist. We are concerned with the naturalness and beauty of every human body. God created us naked; Man invented clothes. These were first intended as protection from the cold and weather, and not to hide anything "lewd". Only human moral behavior has nudity become something negative. I'm not ready to accept that.

The rules at our preferred naturist resort include: "We have nothing against clothing, but swimwear is not clothing, it's a nuisance".

No nudism is not kinky. Prudish people make it kinky. Being naked is something else then sex….

Might depend on the reason for the nudity. And the reason for looking.

Yes, people look at other people…with or without clothes. 😂

No nudism is not kinky, it is just the prudish who perceive it that way. It is probably those same people that have sex not fully naked! Now having sex with one's clothes on, well that seems pretty kinky if you ask me, yet people do it. Practicing nudism has nothing sexual about it in and of itself. It is a return to a much more simple life style making everyone equal in only the bodies were were given.

Here an interesting article on the history of nudism I chanced upon:

Not to me . . .

Perhaps using the word kinky is not the best choice of words.

I would say however that nudism is fun and does allow for some elements of both exhibitionism as well as voyeurism to be practiced in public. It seems to me that there are nudists who like to show off their bodies without being that obvious about it.

And if my own emotions and thoughts are anything to go on, I am certain that many enjoy looking at other nude people, imagining them as potential sexual partners or whatever.

Not that anyone seems to act outwardly on these emotions, but I am certain that if we could look inside people's heads at a nudist beach/resort, things would be far less sedate and prim and proper than seems at first look. Not that anything should happen or people act on their (naughty) thoughts, but I am certain many have such thoughts nonetheless. Just not so you'd notice.

I don't feel that nudism is kinky.

Absolutely not. its not even sexual

The idea behind nudism isn't to sexualise nudity but to desexualise it; to make it an ordinary and freeing part of daily life. That doesn't mean that nudity isn't a fetish for many. It's easy to say that "nudism isn't a sexual thing" and that "healthy" participation in nudist practices helps people break the association between nudity and sex. That doesn't change the fact that, for most of us, that association is ingrained and natural.

I went for a swim yesterday in a very familiar and public setting but the dull weather was limiting the usual numbers of passers by. It was the middle of the day too so I chanced swimming naked. It was risky as someone could have walked along the beach at any moment although I could see them in good time. Certainly it was my riskiest ever naked swim. That would have been viewed as kinky by most people.

Despite my interest in what I regard much more obviously kinky things, I have to say the feeling of walking into and out of the sea is more spiritually uplifting than erotic. And I certainly don’t do it to impress or offend. Indeed the cool sea nearly always ensures I do not look at all sexually aroused! But technically I was probably breaking the law as much as being kinky so maybe nudity is something that will remain in the “each to their own” category.

And it doesn't change the fact that legislation in society certainly seems to assume the connection between nudity and sex is a given. Otherwise why all the rules governing social nudity and why all the historical upset and fuss and bother over nudism? Why did (and still do) nudist organizations have to go to lengths to constantly deemphasize the connection between the two?

I was in Amsterdam in my early 20's and horny. I was window shopping and saw an attractive woman and we settled on a price. I started to undress and she said what are you doing, the price we settled on is with the clothes on. Well we had to resettle on a different price, but this time she gave the full layout of the purchase options. Nudism feels natural, but we don't want to be caught in public so if you are going to streak be sure you are quick enough.

Nudity is sexualized throughout this post, but they're two separate subjects. For us, as long-time naturists, nudity is something natural that we neither want to be forbidden nor to be badmouthed. We therefore only cultivate our nudity in places where it is allowed or at least tolerated. We would never undress in places where we would have to change clothes quickly if someone else came along. In such a place we could not enjoy the beautiful feeling of bare skin at all.

No, it’s perfectly natural and normal. It’s a good way to completely relax and be stress free.
