Do you think nudity and Sex are synonymous?

Question

Yes Or No?

Answer 1

No.
Especially when it is an ugly person that is naked!

But seriously.

The meanings of naturism and nudism are virtually identical, and refer to a cultural and political movement practicing, advocating and defending social nudity in private and public spaces. Several other terms ("social nudity", and recently: "clothes free" ) have been proposed as a replacement of these terms, but none of them has yet found the same wide-spread acceptance as the older terms naturism and nudism.

The movement includes a large range of variants including "naturism", "nudism", "Freikörperkultur (FKK)", the "free beach movement" as well as generalized "public lands/public nudity" advocacy. While there is a large amount of shared history and common themes, issues, and philosophy; differences between these separate movements are sometimes contentious. The usage of these terms varies geographically; people in the US often prefer the term nudism, while people in Europe more often than not refer to themselves as naturists. The predominant movement centers on established, family-friendly, non-sexualized variations. The inclusion of the "topfree equality" movement within this movement is under debate. Use of the word "clothes free" has also been used when preceding other words as a descriptive term, some arguing that it allows more inclusion of both the naturist and nudist philosophy, which are arguably similar in many regards.

The movement also works in parallel to and sometimes influences and is influenced by popular culture as well as individuals and activists (see clothes free people) as well as organizations (see clothes free organizations).

Many people believe that the naked human body is to be accepted, respected, cherished, and enjoyed. They believe it is not inherently shameful, corrupting, degrading, or dangerous. Many of them enjoy clothes free activities. They reject views that being naked with other people is morally wrong (indecent), sexual per se (erotic or pornographic). They argue that nakedness is a healthy, natural state, that being nude is to be in your purest form, since everyone was born nude. They generally find that they quickly become so accustomed to being nude among nudes that it no longer seems very remarkable. It is, rather, simply one part of their lifestyle.

Modern social nudity is mostly a revival of ancient customs and mores, when it was more pervasive throughout the world. Even the Inuit of the Arctic went nude in their igloos. The naked indigenes of Tierra del Fuego held up shields to block the bitingly cold wind. However, a few small, isolated examples today survive of societies which have retained from ancient times a customary life with little or no clothing ever. They are mostly in the Amazon basin, sub-Saharan Africa, and New Guinea.

They endure continuing political, economic, and cultural forces which are assimilating some and killing others, often destroying their traditional habitat. See cultural assimilation.

Social nudity in less extreme forms is practiced in many cultures, especially in the contexts of social bathing or swimming, sometimes with mixed sexes. Nude activities can be indoors and outdoors. Typical activities are relaxation, sunbathing and recreation (including many sports). Some prefer also work nude, etc., when the temperature and the social situation allows it (including when one is alone). A nude party (not to be confused with a sex party) may be public (e.g. Starkers Nightclub) or private. Some clothing-optional communities do exist for those who wish to live in a supportive environment. In fact there are communities under development that even cater specifically to Christians that desire to practice Christian Naturism.

Practitioners say that they are not pruriently interested in seeing others naked (which, if for sexual pleasure, is called voyeurism) or in being seen naked by others (likewise: exhibitionism). People participate in clothes free activities for various reasons. Many are convinced that increased exposure to the natural environment, made easier through nudity, can result in numerous health benefits. Sunlight has been shown to be beneficial in some skin conditions and enables the body to make vitamin D, a necessary nutrient.

However, with the increased awareness of skin cancer, wearing of sunblock is now part of the culture, and recently more education has been carried out to warn of the risk. Whereas nudist parents do not require their children to put on clothes before going outside at a clothes free area, most do require them to put on sunscreen lotion. Overall, those who enjoy clothes free activities often claim that they are more relaxed and in a better state of mind when they shed their clothes.

Many people say that being nude in groups makes them feel more accepted for their entire beings--physical, intellectual and emotional. They say that they tend to be more accepted, in spite of differences in age, body shape, fitness, and health. Without clothing, one's social rank is generally obscured. They report feeling more united with humanity, with less regard to a person's wealth, position, nationality, race, and sex.

Those inexperienced in social nudity often say that they fear that it contributes to an imbalance of power between men and women. They say that women and children are more vulnerable when nude, and can be exploited. While that might be true in a situation of commercial nudity, such as a strip club, women advocates of social nudity assert the opposite, especially in an established nude group. There, the men are nude, too, and no one is inducing someone to be nude with money who would not otherwise feel like being nude there.

Being around like-minded people can make interpersonal interactions, such as meeting new friends, easier. Many pro-nudity organizations promote frequent social activities. Some of the clubs have stricter entrance requirements than some traditional up-scale 'country clubs', including the requirement to supply references, a sponsoring member, a trial membership, committee approval and/or, due to fears of sex offenders, criminal background checks. At the other end of the spectrum are 'unorganized' clothes free events and activities on public lands where there is nothing to join, no one to pay, and only civil, common and criminal law to serve as rules of etiquette. Many people get their first exposure to the clothes free movement through that kind of informal approach (e.g. a clothing optional beach, a friend's place in the woods, a party on the shore or skinny dipping).

Answer 2

Yes I think it is synonymous because nudity leads to sex unless your about to take a shower lol.

Answer 3

No I don't. Nudity is nothing about sex. Nor is Sex about nudity. Although, while nude you can tell the sex of a person. But I've had sex without being totally nude, and have seen nudes without thinking about sex.

Answer 4

The majority of society probably thinks so BUT I don't.

I think you can be naked and see other people naked without it always being sexually oriented. Many artists (photographers, painters, sculpters,etc) also had this same belief or else their art would've reflected sex instead of beauty,grace,etc.

Also, nudists have this mindset. They are able to be comfortable around other nude people doing the most basic of daily activities, regardless of body type.

Answer 5

No, there is nudity without sex and sometimes sex without complete nudity.

Answer 6

No not at all. Nudity can be beautiful art, not just sex.

Answer 7

i think sex is worse than nudity

Answer 8

No. I've been to many family-oriented nudist places. It's totally not sexual at all. Sexual attraction is something that comes from their eyes, their pheramones and their charm.

Answer 9

Yes and NO

it really depends on the person/situation/taste/sexual orientation

....

So i would guess that the answer should be NO

Answer 10

No I know lots of people who hate clothes!
