Ok, I know that these terms have become interchangable, but are they really the same thing? I'm not sure, but I don't think they are.
This is the way I see it anyway. Nudism is a recreational activity while Naturism is a lifestyle. What's the difference you ask? Well, a naturist would gladly live their lives nude whenever conditions permit, i.e. housework, shopping, ect., where as a nudist would rather restrict their nude activity to social activites, i.e. camping, swimming, ect., only.
That is the conclusion I've come to after having hundreds of conversations over the last 4 years or so, with others who pratice some form of social nudity. I will admit I could be wrong and that's why I posted this topic; to find out how other feel, so please share your views.
Hope to hear from others soon.
