Is Nudism Kinky?

No I do not think nudism is kinky. Maybe it is kinky and a bit titillating to people who are voyeurs and people who have a lot of hangups but I do not think it will be kinky to people who actually do it. I have once gone nude on a Spanish beach for maybe about 20 minutes or so. There were other nude women there so I was not on my own. I do not think anybody thought it was kinky.

There is nothing wrong with being naked. I have been a nudist /naturist all my life and love still. It's all about being free and without the constraints of clothes. I hate clothes of any sour the .

I'm naked all the time at home. Nonetheless watch I'm naked on doors and outdoors.

There is nothing wrong with letting other peopl see your naked body.

Our society is so anti-nude that the high school in my town doesn't even make showering after PE mandatory. If any do shower, most do it while clothed in their underwear. Go to any public pool. Boys wear shorts down to their knees; if one should show up in a Speedo, he'd be laughed out of the pool. In France, on the other hand, swim briefs are a must for hygiene and to keep pump screens clear of fibers. Go figure.

I do wish Nudism were not categorized as a kink here, too. I think what would be more appropriate would be to have an Exhibitionist topic under the Kinks section here. That would be a better fit.

Nudism is definitely not kinky and can be beneficial to your health. Being naked in public in the UK is not illegal it's just that you have to prove you are not trying to cause offence or shock. I wouldn't dare go nude around the village where I live because the majority of folks are too hung up about nudity which is a real shame and very frustrating.

Why would anyone consider it kinky? It's just natural..the feeling of no clothing to me is more relieving than anything.

It's not natural if the climate would cause you get ill from walking around nude. I'd go into a panic should I suddenly find myself outside without clothes where I live. Not from shame or such especially, but from fear of getting seriously ill from exposure.

I have to agree with Mts

Nudism should be if anything, under Exhibitionist .I think it has to do with the fact that there isn’t enough clothing optional places to go.

Me being from Massachusetts I don’t even know where the closest clothing optional place is. There is a nudist campground about an hour away but, I just think id feel a little uncomfortable to see families naked, even though I know their naturalists

I do not believe nudism be categorized as Kinky. It is a natural human state that has been marginalized due to a variety of factors, which is a shame and really has done nothing but harm to psychological and sexual health, in my very amateur opinion.

Some people are brought up from an early age taught that nudity is not good, that it is forbidden except when absolutely necessary. Some people (like me) found the pleasure of nudity at an early age and have enjoyed it ever since. To me the question of is it kinky or not depends on the person and their personal perspective, it's different for each of us depending on our life's experiences. I find being nude quite normal, other times I find it erotic and in the right setting, it can be kinky. Standing in the middle of a Gay Leather store wearing only a body harness complete with cock rings, and being seen by any one who walked in, that was kinky as hell. Sitting here writing this on the couch naked, well, that's just normal . All about perspective.

I don't know why people think it is kinky. Maybe because a lot of us are raised in an environment where it is forbidden. I did not discover the joys of nudity until well into adulthood and not I am nude as often as possible. While it can be very sexual at times, I just enjoy it and feel very comfortable being nude.

It’s not kinky, it’s freedom

I don't think it is kinky. Different people have different definitions of what kinky means. I have a friend who I haven't spoken to since they closed yahoo messenger. She lives in Australia. Now sometimes it can get in the way so to speak. He family are nudist. She kept wanting me to visit but when she told me that her family also has parties and everyone gets nude and what all happens. That sort of ruined it for me as far as visiting. She kept telling me that she knows by us chatting that we are nude here, which is true. But it is just me, my sister and her girlfriend. My sister and I shared a room growing up so being nude in front of her is no big deal. It took her girlfriend a little while to get used to it. Now it's no big deal. But being nude in front of a friends parents I just would be too shy. But saves on laundry. Ever go into your closet to pick something out to wear for the night and say damn I wore that and it is in the dirty clothes? We don't have that problem most of the time because when we wash clothes we wash them all. I mean all. LOL

We were never allowed to go nude at home. Mom and dad were strict. We had to sleep in PJ's even. It was hell talking them into letting us buy and wear bikinis. In their minds, if you were in a bikini you might as well be in your bra and panties. Which I can see how they think. We for sure couldn't wear mini bikinis or micros and I cannot imagine if we had on micros with butt floss. Like when we were little if we put our hands down there in our pj's we were told get your hand out of there. You only put your hand down there to wipe or bathe. My sister and I have never seen mom or dad naked. It was one of those families where you went to church on Wednesdays and Sundays. I know the church has nothing to do with it because there are nude churches. I'm just trying to state how we were brought up. The girl who lived with me for a few years that started me on enemas had a daughter who was three and I was uncomfortable being nude around her. Her daughter was used to it and would just walk into my bedroom to ask a question or whatever and that didn't bother me but to go around nude like her mother did I could not get used to it. I was not her mother. Maybe it would be different if I was brought up like that. Look at the people you see in tribes like in South America and they think nothing of being nude.

It's only kinky when you're the only nude person in a 5 star restaurant and the waiter asks you to remove your hat.

Nudism started out kinky for me but turned into the most amazing feeling of freedom and anything but kinky. I got invited to my friends nudist Resort. I was totally paranoid that I would walk around with a hard on and embarrass my friends. The total opposite happened. Don’t get me wrong, I saw some amazing bodies but because we were all naked no big deal. After 4 days, putting clothes back on sucked. I joined the resort ! I’m hooked..

I think it's not nudism itself to be kinky but the way you practice nudism, if you do it to be a exhibitionist or a voyeur in a kinky setting with all are aware of that, so all are consentient about that, it can be kinky.

I feel if it is kinky then it's not nudism but turns to exhibitionism. Nudity was not an uncommon site growing up. Mom would walk around naked from time to time as would us two boys.. there was no shame. Now, i am nude most of the time when i am home, just cause i'm comfortable being naked. I understand though that being raised in a household where there was no nudity, then the freedom can be exhilarating.

I do not think being a nudist is kinky, its just plain natural. I was 15 when my step family introduced me to walking around naked amoungst people. Up to then I was shy, awkward with major body issues, but now I am a really confident person.

Nudity is not kinky. Adam and Eve decided to clothe up after they were scolded. Until then, it was natural. Still is. Esp swimming!

At it's core I think being nude is humanism, it's just part of life. I mean everyone brought into this world started off nude. It's up to what you do with being nude to turn it into a kinky thing.

I dont think it is sexual at all. I think it should be tolerated more in America.

I am aroused at the thought of nudity in a public setting. I am also aroused by the idea of being the only one naked in a public setting with many clothed people. I am envious of those that are fortunate to be in a setting where nudity is accepted. As a child that grew up in a religious, modest household, I would have preferred a more casual attitude towards nudity in our home. Instead, I found myself isolated and confined to my bedroom in order to experience nudity on any level. But I do not think for a second that nudity in itself is kinky. Kinky is more about action. Whether or not we are wearing clothes or in the nude, it is the action that we carry out, in my opinion, that should and could potentially cause us to be defined as kinky. Consider this… two fully clothed people dry humping in public could be considered as acting inappropriate in public. Two naked people holding hands walking casually down the street, on the other hand, wouldn’t necessarily be kinky in my opinion. They just happen to be naked. If they were wearing clothes walking down the same street, no one would give them any consideration.

I really think America is way to uptight about nudity. It really is too bad.

Naturism-Nudism is really just being unclothed and unfettered and free from the coverings of everyday life. Whilst it can be exilerating I would not say it is kinky. Even textile folk are naked underneath their clothing/uniform! A good deal of the worlds tensions and hang ups would be reduced if we all had the chance to get our kit off in an uninhibited way. By the way keeping eye contact is enhanced in a nudist-naturist setting.

I understand that not all nudists are doing it to satisfy a kink - some may start that way and then just become accustomed to it. For a lot it is exhibitionism. To think that world hunger, social injustice, or any other world tensions and hang ups etc. would be reduced if everyone went nude is a bit out of the ball park. And if you're comfortable with being nude - why maintain eye contact? Enjoy you bodies.

If you're shopping at Walmart, then yes it is! LOL

It depends on the person. I know a 60ish couple who’ve done this for decades, he corrects me and says Naturism if I use the word Nudism. Not as easy to follow this hobby in cooler Countries like the UK, but he goes to a special members-only swimming session held at a public swimming baths.

On holiday in Europe (Spain mainly) they do the Naturist campsites. I’ve done some myself on nude beaches having been persuaded by my partner whilst abroad. After my initial great fear that Captain Stiffy might pay an unwelcome visit proved false, I really enjoyed the freedom and equality you feel when all naked together. Peoples bodies are so varied and often lovely and it’s a shame they’re hidden away normally and revealed only under special circumstances.

But as to my Naturist friends, she’s lovely and I don’t doubt her intentions but he openly drools at the prospect of a new female joining their naked swimming sessions. I’d say he’s a bit of a perv, except this may be a poor choice of website to make that judgement on.

Many naturist groups / venues will specify that there is nothing sexual about it. Many (if not most) don't want single men to participate. I have been to many nude beaches and been to a nudist resort a couple times. I go there because I am an exhibitionist and interested in seeing others nude. I don't tell anyone that (except here) but it's true. Unfortunately most of the people at nude venues don't look good nude. Most nudists/naturist are out of shape and not attractive (In the USA anyway).

If we had an honesty award on Zity, you'd get one from me. I've been on quite a number of beaches in France and Spain where clothing was optional, not specific nude-only beaches, but mixed beaches with all kinds of clothing or not.

And I did it because I liked looking at the nude young ladies. I once saw a beautiful nude lady on one of these beaches of about mid 20's with a (large) scar like mine, from what was probably a pneunectomy. Electrifyingly arousing in a special way. She wasn't ashamed of showing it.

My wife undressed on such beaches too, but knew me well enough to know I liked going there for the nudes, not for the sunshine or sea air ... ha ha.

I know That true nudism isn’t kinky (at least that’s what I’m told) but I do Love being naked and have been to a nude beach a few times. Personally I love Being nude and being seen by others; I’ll usually find any excuse to be naked. To add an additional level of kink, I find The sensation of having my erect penis bounce around as I walk To be very thrilling.

Nope, not kinky.
