Are pictures of young naturists safe?

[TJ Naturist]

Hi all,

I was wondering your opinion about the safety of young naturist pictures, such as teens for example. With the internet these days some wouldn't think of this, yet there are probably some sites with non sexual pictures of young nudists/naturists naked. Or, what about http://www.enature.net/ ? They have a video series with young naturists.

I was thinking, if it was really THAT dangerous, I don't think that the parents would let their kid's nude pictures be uploaded to the internet. What do you think?

What do you mean by dangerous? Who is in danger? What is the nature of the danger?

[TJ Naturist]

Hi Rik,

By "dangerous", I was meaning the possibility of the person in the photo being stalked or something of the like.

By the way (and this is completely off-topic), thats a cool Sonic avatar image you've got. I still have some Sonic games on my old 16-bit Sega Genesis.

I suppose there is always a theoretical possibility of someone (unclothed or clothed) in a photo being identified and then stalked but it seems a fairly remote possibility. Im not convinced that nudists are in any greater danger than non-nudists.

Glad you like the avatar - a bit of nostalgia eh?

I think I understand what TJ is getting at, Rob & I have had some experience with what you are talking about.

A few years ago there where pictures of us (Rob & I) naked at our local beach on a naturist website and they ended up on a gay porno site. It took 12 months for us to get them taken off the porno site and the naturist site. I might add that the naturist site is no longer up and running.

I insisted when Rob did the family website that there where no naturist pictures of either of us on the site.

Casey: I understand your fears about naturist
photos. Although your family's website is awesome!

Hey Bart

Thanks for the kind words about our family website, I'm working on the few hiccups on the site today.

I ditto's Casey's fears about naturist photo's, only from experience, I just hope non of the INA staff photo's end up on porn sites.

But it's apparently ok to have pictures of other young naturists on your web site. Why is that?

Hi there,
New to nudism, new to this site. Great stuff!

Let's remember that the nudism we enjoy has nothing to do with sexuality. So pictures are "safe" or "unsafe" regardless of whether the people in the pictures are wearing clothes. Pretend there are clothes on the people in the picture and ask yourself whether you--or any court--would consider them obscene. (Conversely, you don't need any nudity at all to have obscene images.) I doubt pictures of children or teenagers swimming or playing volleyball could ever be considered obscene by any measure, legal or otherwise.

Nudism means total freedom, which means people of all ages will get their pictures taken without much thought. There will always be dangerous people looking for prey, but they're not going to hang around a naturist Web site where monitors kick you off if you show even the slightest bit of impropriety.
