i mean... its not that often that people get naked for no reason, unless youre a nudist or something. it probably shouldnt be like that, and yeah im kind of intrigued by nudist ideology, but its fair to say that opinion is fairly rare in todays society, so i think you need to keep that in perspective

But what does "get naked for no reason" mean? I mean I actually do know what you mean, but there are grey areas. This weekend at the Pride Parade I saw women topless just wearing pasties (A few were completely topless) and guys who were nearly naked. Their reason was probably celebration and protesting social norms. This weekend I also went to a clothing optional natural hot springs where everyone was naked. There were probably some nudists there but most of us were just enjoying the water and the sun in the most comfortable way which was without clothes. So while I agree that probably most people live their lives without getting naked in public, those who do get naked in public aren't all nudists and do sorta have a reason for being naked in public, whatever it may be.

I like to be tan all over. That would be my reason for getting naked outside in an appropriate place. I am sometimes naked inside my house, but I don't just strip down when a friend comes over. If I was already naked I would just stay that way though. Nudity doesn't always equal sex.

Yeah well, my family are NEVER naked around each other, and my friends aren't really into that, either. I've been swimming the old way with a couple friends, one of whom kept his underwear on and the other one (another occasion) didn't even get in the water, so I haven't even seen them naked and they did their best to avoid looking at me. I've definitely evolved. A few years ago I wouldn't have done anything like that. But yeah, I still see absolutely nothing wrong with being naked in your own home, man.

Every family is different.

No tan lines for you. Reminds me of the old Coppertone girl commercial. LOL!

Haha nice. Once I found an old bottle of Coppertone in the apartment I used to live in, that had the old logo. Apparently the little girl didn't use to wear a top, making the tan line more obvious than it is now. At some point they gave her a blue top to match the blue bottoms...I guess because nudity was starting to become more associated with sex.

But that's not nude - she's wearing a party hat! With a pom-pom as well.

The old advertisement for Coopertone sun screen that I remember featured a dog pulling down the little girl's suit thus exposing the white skin. I really dont't reall remember if she wore a top or not.

You are asking for an opinion. Nudity does not always equal sexuality. But circumstances factor in to observer's view of other's being naked. For example, nudity is expected in changing rooms and other areas when changing clothes. Nudity is common on sleepovers and swimming. Older boys "playing " naked together is less common. That does not per se simply equate sex but may appear strange to onlookers.

This is not meant as criticism either. I have been part of many sleepovers over the years when extensive nudity was involved, strip poker, streaking around outside after dark, pranks and so forth. We tried but did not always succeed in trying to be discrete.

Close the door and get naked with your friends.

I did that when I was younger my brother does it sometimes but now I dont stay naked except in my shower lol

it depends on where they are from. In the US nudity is always seen as sexual. They make it taboo....or associate it with sin.

The USA is a big place and attitudes can vary between, for example, the bible belt and LA or New York and there are always individuals who are more liberal minded that those in the area they live in. In general, though, compared to Europe, the USA does seem to be prudish.

I live in the USA and cannot agree with your use of the word always as applies to this country. Like all of my classmates, we all change and shower naked together for p.e. I assure you that there is nothing sexual about being in the showers at the same time with a bunch of other nude boys. That is just one example.

it all about intent. if done in the correct manner even removing your shoes can have sexual connotations. but if you strip nude on the beach to keep the heat(what little we get on the north sea)away isnt sexaul if it was not intended to arouse
