Nudism: Sexy or not?

So if you get a buzz at all is that bad? Or if you don't is that bad?
I enjoy my time nude, and I'm not aroused by naked people around me, its like being in a playground where everyone is just having a good time, and its a normal thing.

[Nudeinbama]

The good feelings, I have from being nude are enjoyable , and comparable to a sexual buzz, but not the same, just comparable. Love them both.Nudity and Sex,but separate in their importance.

I think sexuality is a part of everyday's life and everyday's situations, so why nudism experiences should be different? But it is truly a secondary effect for me and certainly not the reason why did I become a nudist. I mean I wouldn't even call it a sexual buzz. For me nudism is really not about sexuality, it's about freedom and a connection with the nature. For example, it is incredible what a difference is between taking a swim or enjoying the sun completely naked or with that small piece of swimwear. So I voted "I don't get any sexual buzz from my involement in nudism".

[nudeM]

I agree in that I don't get a sexual buzz while clothed or not. To differentiate the two is the most important. True, when the time comes, there is no hassle to remove anything, but that doesn't mean I am more aroused when nude. Nice poll, but I cannot give an honest answer because, while nude, I am not more, moderately or even not sexually buzzed. I get that way even when I have clothes on. Nice poll though. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[Nudony]

It all depends on what is meant by "sexy."

Have I been titillated by the feeling of my wife's skin against mine sitting next to me? Sure.
Has my attention ever been grabbed by the sight of a very attractive nude woman? Sure.
Did I have an emotional reaction when a woman hugged me and her chest came into contact with mine? Yeap.

Was I ever aroused or excited by any of this? Never.

You have to differentiate sexuality and sensuality. Small difference, but an important one.

[nakednudists]

I think if you voted that you get a sexual buzz off nudism, you might need to take up another lifestyle. Maybe your just not ready to try social nudism. I voted that I do not get a sexual buzz from nudism.

[Trailscout]

Being nude, particularly outdoors on a nice day is a great sensation. Sort of like quickly drinking a Coca Cola that is barely above freezing as I am jumping off a high dive into a sparkling swimming pool. But none of that is sexy, just a great sensation.

[Cheffred]

As humans we like sex or at least I do. But as a nudist I completely seperate the two and dont even consider sex or "buzz" of a sex when Im nude as a nudist.

[BackpackerBrian]

Nudony said it very well. Do I get a buzz from being around nude people?? Sure I do. It isn't a sexual buzz though. It's a buzz that I can be around friends and meet new friends this way, and that is incredibly cool.

The real buzz is unity with people and with nature!

[David77]

At the end of the day, I have always felt more "pelvic tension" after being around and enjoying nude people all day. I can not sublimate this fact in my mind and call it something else.

[NudeAl]

My wife and I have noticed we are always a little more, "frisky," shall we say after a weekend spent in a nudist resort. I don't know how much of that is attributed to being in a nude environment for a number of hours and how much is due to being in a stress free environment i.e. no phone, no computer, no yelling kids, etc. I just know I like it, I like it a lot! http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I voted for a sexual buzz but it's a secondary effect.

[Sailor]

Whenever I spend alot of time in a social situation with people whom I really like, people with whom I have an open and honest relationship with, I am relaxed and happy and all of my senses are aroused. I think that I sometimes feel a little aroused when I am in a nude social situation, but I think that has as much to do with the relaxed atmosphere and warm feelings than it has to do with the physical reality of being nude.

[P.J.]

Sure nudity is sexy. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif
That doesn't mean that we are nudists for sexual reasons. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Sexual stimulation can manifest itself in many ways besides in nudism. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_confused.gif
Don't ask me why, but I find the sight of an ankle bracelet on a woman to be sexy. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif For some reason, an ankle bracelet gets my attention. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Ladies, if we should meet and you notice me staring at your legs, it might be your ankles that I'm staring at, so keep that ankle bracelet covered! http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

The fact that nearly half of the people who have voted (and these are people who say they're nudists) say that there's at least some sexual buzz from social nudism simply reinforces the belief non-nudists have that nudity is sexual, which is why most of them will never get into it.

[hm0504]

I think an essential part of the equation is that engaging in any pleasurable (non-sexual), relaxing, healthy activity is going to increase one's sexual interest.

Take the converse, you spend a day doing some menial, brain-draining chore, chances are you'll feel a lot less interested in sex than if you went for a nice walk in the woods.

[Dakotawalker]

I only get a feeling of freedom; oneness with nature when I am nude, with or without the presence of a female around no matter if she is nude or not.

That feeling has nothing in common with sexual feelings at all. Both feelings are very pleasant and enjoyable, but the feelings from being nude are much more lasting and fulfilling.

I love sexual feelings and I love the feelings from being nude in a public situation, but the feelings are different because the origin is different.

Even in the presence of a beautiful, nude woman; the feelings are not of sexual origin, but of naturistic origin. I keep the two feelings separate, somehow. It does not take a conscious effort to keep them separate, either.

I guess, maybe if I wanted to, I could mix the two feelings, or maybe it would be sexual feelings taking the place of naturisitic feelings. This is where it gets complicated, I guess.

BUT, anyway, I indicated that for me, naturism is not about sex - not at all.

I've been thinking about this a bit. I seem to remember a previous poll with similar results. I wonder if the issue is not some so-called "sexual buzz" resulting from naturist practice as it is questioning ourselves as to what motivates us to participate.

Speaking for myself, if my motivation for engaging in naturist practice were sexual in nature I would feel as immoral about the practice as those who condemn it believe that it would be. I believe in that case, it would not be a good thing for me to do.

That is not my motivatiion. While I do not and cannot deny that sex is a part of who we are as humans and that aspect of us is always present (whether nude or wearing three layers of winter coats), it simply is NOT "WHY" I engage in naturist practice and if it were I would stop immediately as I just couldn't justify it in my mind.

Just my thoughts/feelings about the issue,

There is a "sexual buzz" because people have that buzz no matter where they are and it doesn't go away when we go to a nudist venue.

I feel that sexuality all the time. Just because I'm poolside at a nudist club doesn't mean it's gone.

If people got more comfortable with their sexuality then nudism would be a no brainer.

Exactly!

[steve-o]

Hmm, all day long, in the prudish clothed world, we are required to keep our sexual organs covered...Many times with tight fitting or constricting clothes, underwear to keep the penis unnaturally close to the body. Bras to unnaturally restrict the breasts. etc. etc. And I know I absolutely hate the feeling of my pants and underwear constricting my genitals, no matter how lose my pants seem to be. Maybe mine are larger than average down there so it feels even more uncomfortable in clothes. It's very constricting and completely unnatural in every way.

So it feels really freeing for those (sexual) parts to be out of clothes, for them to be free.

So my point is, when we're nude the only parts of our bodies that are exposed that cannot otherwise be (legally) exposed are our sexual organs. So with those sexual organs completely unconstricted, free to feel the wind and air on every part of our skin, skin that doesn't otherwise feel these sensations and free to move about freely and naturally, it feels really nice. It's a great feeling of freedom. I know my unconstricted organs,,, sexual organs,,, love the feeling.

So is that feeling a bit sexual or sensual, a buzz, having that total freedom for those body parts? I don't know how to label it. Sure sometimes, without the restriction of clothes those organs are naturally more sensitive to every sensation.

If so, I think it's completely natural. And many times with total body freedom *those parts* sometimes have a mind of their own.

that's my thesis.

I can sort of relate to this. I find that I am more energized in general (more apt to clean, rather than be a couch potato, etc.) The time I've spent relaxing gives me that energy though, rather than the nudity itself. The relaxing comes from the time spent nude, usually in natural surroundings, with wonderful people. I also tend to get more exercise than normal while at a nudist venue, just from being able to be comfortable. I'd guess that I would find, if there was a lady in m life, that those extra "energies" would extend to the sexual realm as well. If I got the feeling of extra energy from washing my truck, that wouldn't make the act of truck washing sexual, would it? Not with nudism either, as I see it.

[justnude]

Buzz? You bet-its called pure joy of being naked-period!

[Nudony]

I don't know...I still think the term "sexy" is being used loosely here.

Main Entry: sexy
Inflected Form(s): sex·i·er; -est
1 : sexually suggestive or stimulating : EROTIC
2 : generally attractive or interesting : APPEALING

Main Entry: sen·su·al
1 : relating to or consisting in the gratification of the senses or the indulgence of appetite : FLESHLY
2 : SENSORY
3 a : devoted to or preoccupied with the senses or appetites b : VOLUPTUOUS

To me, if I'm at a resort, and I'm feeling tiitallated because of the effect of the sun, water and my wife's warm skin brushing up against mine, that's sensual (i.e: gratification of the senses)
However, if I'm at a strip club (frequent in my pre-nudist, college days) and I'm aroused and visibly excited by the sight of a completely nude woman's genitals girating in front of my face, then I would call the whole thing sexy (i.e: sexually stimulating)

Am I the only one drawing a distinction between the two here? Or are both the resort and the strip club experience considered to be variations, or different shades, of "sexy"?

[Nudeinbama]

Different shades, and thats O.K. as long as an Open mind is thinking about it, and thats the only minds that are ever going to be O.K.with public or open nudity anyways, in my opinion.Nudity isn't bad. Sex isn't bad. They both have their place for everyone, and a mature responsible mind can sort that out.
Nudeinbama

[Nudony]

Reading over the posts, I've developed a theory as to why some people admit to a sexual ramification to nudism; while others do not. I don't believe it necessarily has anything to do with repression or acceptance; I think it has to do with libido.

Main Entry: li•bi•do
1 : emotional or psychic energy that in psychoanalytic theory is derived from primitive biological urges and that is usually goal-directed
2 : sexual drive

Yes, we are all sexual beings. But we are not all "wired" the same way in terms of libido. Considering this, it is not difficult to understand why some people would feel "sexy" as opposed to others. It is not that some embrace their sexuality and others reject it; I believe that those who do feel "sexy" as a result of nudism simply have a higher libido than those who don't. Interestingly, men's libido starts decreasing at a much earlier age than women; could that mean that women generally feel more sexy as a result of nudism than men?

Of course, this is just a theory and I could be wrong.

Nudony I think your theory holds some validity. It's nice to see people thinking out of the box.

Other reasons for how people voted could be that they are totally out of touch with their sensuality/sexuality or that they'd just never publicly admit that these feelings happen to them.

Not only has the general population been taught little about nudity, we have also been taught little about sexuality. Many nudists that I know are proud that they've figured out the nudity part but still are clueless about their sexuality.

It doesn't help that almost every nudist website denies this sexuality and in doing so make it politically incorrect.

I believe this is exactly the reason why my websites on nudity have such deeply devoted members. We try to do away with the stereotypes and being politically correct.

[R.M.GREENMAN2]

I voted sexual buzz as a secondary feeling!

Sorry....I admit to my HUMAN nature!
If I see a woman I find attractive, whether she is dressed to the hilt...at a super market...it is a turn on!
To say otherwise would make me a LIAR!
And I despise liars! Along with theives!

So there it is! I am human and admit it! Think what you will!
I do my best to further the acceptance of nudism by stressing the fact that there is no sex stuff going on in the open or even unfriendly leering.

P.S. Us nudists are just very good with our self control and supressing our urges!

Not being a sexologist or scientist who has studied sexual response, I have some ideas from my experience and reading and education. In the early 1950 ties, I went to a social work graduate school and the professors were rather Freudian, (many worked at the Menninger Mental Hospital) so there is a possiblility that I may put too much (old fashioned?) emphasis on superego, id (libido-sex)and the ego, and on the psychological defense mechanisms - like sublimation and repression.

I think that most persons, if not all persons, from time to time "sublimate and repress" their sexual (libido) motivations, thoughts and feelings to be something that they believe is more acceptable (that is, more "superego" acceptable, in psychological terms). As Cyndiann says, they loose touch with their sexual feeling at times. It is more acceptable to them to deny (sublimate, repress) their feelings, as they are taught that having (additinal) sexual feeling at a nudist resort is a big "NO, NO".

Of course, I also think that some persons have a higher libido than others, depending on age, health, even thoughts of assessability of engaging with partner increases testostorone level, etc. etc.
Surprisingly, women who have little or no sex drive, are given testosterone to increase their sex drive. Men are not the only ones who need testosterone for sex drive.

Many articles state that men are more visually aroused by anything sexual than women are stimulated by sexual sights, so maybe men get a greater charge (appreciation) out of the sights of many nudes around them.

However, scientists have wired women's sex organ to a meter, and then the scientists showed them potentially sexy pictures. The meter showed that they had a sexual response, but some women denied this and reported that the pictures did nothing for them physically, emotionally. Is this a cultural phenomenon where women are still taught that nice girls do not respond sexually to such things?

I also believe that some person's Bible upbringing will not allow them to "lust", which to them means sexual feeling sometimes. I personally wish they could let themselves feel their own full spectrum of emotions, but certainly behave ethically/morally.

[Jochanaan]

A perennially "arousing" topic! (Sorry; couldn't resist. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif)

As many others have said, we are all sexual beings. But most of us either repress or sublimate our sexuality much of the time, simply because we can't do it 24/7 and still feed ourselves, pay bills, etc.

It has also been noted that alcohol tends to increase interest in sex for a lot of people (although not sexual ability http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif). But does it really? More likely it merely takes the surface repression away. In vino veritas, after all. Perhaps nudism is the same way, taking away the non-sexual mask we wear much of the time and revealing our inner being, which definitely includes sexuality. But of course, simply because you feel the urge doesn't mean you have to act on it. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

David, I think this nonsense about men being "more visually stimulated" than women is entirely cultural. Your remark about "nice girls" hits the bullseye.

[steve-o]

Jochanaan, you don't believe in the fact that men are innately more visually-stimulated than women are?

hmm, uhkay.

--s

[Jochanaan]

I believe men are stimulated by the sight of a woman, steve-o. But in my experience it works both ways. Several women I've known closely have reported being just as stimulated by seeing a good-looking man, naked or otherwise, as I am by seeing a good-looking woman. Besides, the US is not the entire world. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Is it the same in all other cultures as here? Somehow, I don't think so.

[DoctorSurferDude]

This is almost a "What does nudism mean to you?" question....

To me, nudism is NOT sexy....mixing sex and nudity as most textiles do is counter productive to the ideals of nudism. It's muddy waters, and the more you mix sex into the equation the harder it is to see anything at all.

HOWEVER, everybody is different, and there are some who tie in nudism and sex. In my years as a nudist I've had the unfortunate experience of encountering the famous masturbating male who seems to find the idea of being naked and being around others a very arousing experience. In my opinion, his muddy waters are so muddy that he can't even appreciate the serenity of where he is, but instead disrupts the good vibes. There are unkind things I'd like to do to these buzz killers, but that wouldn't fix anything.

My hope is that the gap between "nudism" and "sexy" never narrows more than it already is, and that those who chose option #3 will continue to be the majority and continue to set a standard of behavior that will keep nudism a safe activity for families.

Why don't we think of other innocent things we can corrupt..... Are half clothed patients in a hospital sexy? Is the idea of your parents having sex to make you sexy? Are your kids sexy to you? Do you undress your grandma with your eyes when she's serving the cassarole?

It's all about having the right mindset. Sex must be painted onto something that is non-sexual. Nudism is non-sexual. A woman shopping at the grocery store is a non-sexual event. Why don't we stop painting sex onto these inert things? And when human nature stirs the pot....keep your thoughts in check, don't embelish fantasy http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[fre2bnude]

I'm still pretty new to this way of life and sure, I get a buzz, but I'm also sure it's not a sexual one, I certainly do not get aroused so I'm happy with the way I feel. I've still to get round to the social side of it, at the moment I'm a lone naturist and only my wife ever sees me, but, when I do I'm very sure that I will cope without getting excited.

[nfstan]

I believe there is always an element of sexuality to be savored in the nudist experience. Why should there not be with all the--er--equipment in plain view? Nudists have been accused at times of being prudish for attempting to exclude all elements of sexuality in their social activities. Or perhaps more a case of "Methinks the lady [gentleman too] doth protest too much".

What's wrong with a dash of eros along with the philos and agape of the nudist experience. Relax and enjoy it!

Let me ask you this. How many times a day do you think about sex?

Do you stop thinking about it when you are at a nudist club?

Did anything really change other than your location?

[Trailscout]

The difference seems to be that most people who visit nudist establishments grow more accustomed to the sight of nudity.

Nudity remains beautiful and interesting, at least for those we regard as attractive, but for many, the reaction is more subdued.

The acid test is behavior. Those who insist on bothering me or my female companions would be asked to leave the nudist resort.

We don't want to create an atmosphere of hostility or sexual harassment.

And to be blunt, I am not particularly attracted to most of the people I see at nudist resorts. There are just a few cuties who would catch my eye (clothed or not).

[NudeDen]

I voted that i get no sexual buzz from nudism. I do get a buzz though, but more of a relaxed and zen like feeling. I just feel very up beat and cool about everything.

I do find some women at the resorts to be attractive and maybe even sexy but i don't get sexually aroused by them. I don't equate sex with nudism at all and i think they should be kept seprate.

True, the newbie worries of constant erections in the prescence of nude nubile flirts is an adolescent fantasy.

Well said in its entirety, NudeAl!

On our vacation last year, my wife and I enjoyed a nude lunch after hiking half way along a trail and after the two guys in front of us had turned around and gone back.
After lunch, I hiked nude back along the trail to the car.
In the entire time, there were no sexual thoughts.
However, back at the cottage later,we became as you so aptly put it "a little more frisky".

I also went with the sexual buzz, but its a secondary effect.

[DoctorSurferDude]

It is medically proven that lowering the average temperature of the scrotal sac raises sperm production. So....it might be argued that sitting in the snow naked could increase a males sex drive....a secondary effect.

Sitting naked in the snow is generally not considered sexy, although some might find it so. :-p

[David77]

There is an optimum (proper) temperature for the testicles (temperature slightly cooler than the rest of the body) to produce the most plentiful sperm, and sitting in snow is not it!

Tight shorts around the testicles may warm the testicles higher than the optimum temperature for best sperm production, so wearing boxer shorts or no shorts, could be sensible for a man considering getting his wife pregnant.

Why should there not be with all the--er--equipment in plain view? Nudists have been accused at times of being prudish for attempting to exclude all elements of sexuality in their social activities. Or perhaps more a case of "Methinks the lady [gentleman too] doth protest too much".

What's wrong with a dash of eros along with the philos and agape of the nudist experience. Relax and enjoy it!

Nothing wrong with that view in my opinion, just because you're a naturist sex doesn't disappear, it's there all the time, and clothed or unclothed I still appreciate the sight of an attractive woman - even more so at my age! But it doesn't make me run around with an erection!

David77,

I think your both right. The average temperature would be what the average man's ambient environmental temperature is. Shame on the history of clothing.

As for snow....yeah, frost bite on the testicles wouldn't exactly make one super potent. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

OMG...frostbite on the scrotal sac would be one thing, but frostbite on the testicles?!? http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

I think nudism, by itself, is not inherently sexy. It just means not wearing any clothes, right? I'd think most people just do this because they're more comfortable. This is not to say that you can't be in sexy situations while nude, because obviously you can, just as you can be while wearing clothes. As with anything, I think it depends on who you're with and in what situation. Going to a resort or something with a bunch of naturists, families etc., isn't very sexy and it's not supposed to be. But if you're just hanging with some friends it probably might or might not be, depending again on who you're with. So I guess I vote "not sexy", but with some qualifications. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I guess it's just observer dependent.
