what is your tolerence level being a nudist ?

[nudenwv]

i just realized that when i'm nude my tolerence level goes up! i consider myself to be a patient kind a guy in the textile world and have a high tolerence level before i change surroundings! in the nudist world i seem to eliminate the having to deal with tolerence! must be the relaxing atmosphere of the nudist lifestyle! well - i know i have answered what i already knew! feel free to express your thoughts!

http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gifMy stress is deffinatly lowered when I am nude. I find that I am more patient with people on the phone.

I would also say that I am more tolerant when I'm nude.

I notice this in me. It's particularly obvious to me when I attend a textiled swim(ming pool) vs. a nude one. I'm sure it's at least partly me, but everybody just seems so much nicer and more accommodating at a nude swim. I find myself often frustrated by the inconsiderate actions of many at a textiled swim. In fact, the last time I went to a textiled swim, I ultimately just got out of the pool and waited to leave. I'd have enough of that. The last time I went to a nude swim/pool, I was extremely sad to have to leave.

Can't say I've noticed but I do know that I am happy nude because it's FUN. If a happy person is more tolerant then maybe I am more tolerant.

I have to agree in that my tolerance level does go down when I'm not wearing anything. I feel much more relaxed. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Some friends and I have noticed a few years back that I tend to become very aggressive and short tempered, intolerant, annoyed and frustrated when I don't have my naked time. NOt to mention that I smoke way more as well.

Overtime, it seems to have gotten worse.

Hey Keith -

I'd have to say I am with you on that one. It's a relaxation thing. I call it Zen. It lasts for a few days sometimes, even after those nasty clothes come back on.

That's because we are supposed to be nude more often. That's the way nature intended.

[NudistGuy47]

Good day Keith and all,

I find I am more tolerant when nude, but the difference is slight as I tend to be an easy-going guy. Maybe it is due to the natural cooling when nude versus the "wicking and evaporation" that takes place when clothed. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

This seems like the most normal response to me. I don't have nearly as much experience as most of you but I've thought this for years that this would be the case.
You're standing there naked in front of another naked person. Intolerance can stem from a feeling of superiority over the other person, and looking at each other nude should dispel that feeling.
Imagine the last time you had an argument with a stranger in public. Now imagine that the two of you were nude. Don't you think that would change the situation?

On a side note, do you think this phenomenon would be more prominent in men, women, or do you think it would be even?

I really like your perspective Justin.

I especially like how you connected intolerence to superiority. To me it does make sense.

So nudism promotes equality (versus superioity) which leads naturally to more tolerance, and patience.

As to your sidenote, I think it varies from person to person, and may not be gender-relevant.

Thanks for making me, and hopefully others, think!

Meditation will have the same effect; actually not only tolerance and patience, but also compassion. Nudism does have some elements of meditation; but if you want the "real thing", sit down and meditate.

[BackpackerBrian]

So Nudony, to become the most patient, compassionate and tolerant person you can be, would you recommend becoming a "Nudist Buddhist"? http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I haven't noticed any difference in my ability to be tolerant of other people, but I do notice that people who aren't wearing clothes are likely to be more friendly and considerate of others. In other words, easier to tolerate!

As others have noted, my stress level does go up if I go several days without some nude time. It has really become part of my relaxation routine. But I don't think my stress level is ever increased enough by lack of nude time to affect my dealings with others.
