Because of the recent controversy over Celebrities-Nude community Photo almbum, my question is when can being nude do more harm than good for the nudist/naturist "movement"(for lack of a better word)?
I know that Porn can hurt the cause because too many view being naked and having sex as one in the same. But does paparazzi, taking a picture of a nude celeb with the intent of "exposing" them as being naughty because they are naked, hurt us, or does it show others that people can be nude and enjoy the beach, or just being nude, without there being sex involved? Does intent over-shadow the nudist spirit that the celeb is showing?
Nude protest are to shock and bring attention to a cause, which is not the intent of nudist, but they are nude and not engaged in what would be considered inapporpiate behavior by nudist, some consider being nude inapporpiate.
I do not like to offend others, not that I think nudity is offensive but there are those that do, so I leave the curtains closed when I am nude in my own home. Does this hurt us because if I leave them open and people see me being a "normal" person who just happens to be nude might change the minds those who think nudity as not being for "normal" people?
What are your thoughts on this subject? When is nudism wrong?
