I am a nudist and II like to go swimming nude cause its nice and free. in the water.I think all pools should offer nudist sessions as they do in Europe.Although I don`t approve in being nude where nudists aren`t I believe miles out in the country away from the city should be allowed. I know religous groups don`t approve of nudity but God created us so we should not be ashamed. If you created something you would not be ashamed would you?

Nudity is a natural thing so I see no reason why people should be offended by it. However, like everything there is a right and wrong place for it. I am a nudist and often go round naked at home when I am doing jobs - saves messing up clothes!
I also go on nudist beaches in Spain and it is great to see families with children of all ages enjoying the sun on their naked bodies along with the adults. There is nothing wrong with this in my view and it breaks down barriers.
Some while ago I belonged to a gay naturist group and we socialised in people's homes in the nude. It was great fun and made everyone equal. The rule was 'no sex, no clothes' and it worked. Nudity does not equate to sex which so many religious people seem to think. If they had their way we would be born with clothes on!

I dont find nudity offensive, I truly believe that we should be free to express ourselves, Society has forced to many dont do this and dont do that rules down our throats from an early age so now its all about covering up unfortunately no matter what is said on here that will now never ever change. I am naked whenever i get the opportunity usually round the house or when i go on holiday in spain where nudity is no frowned upon as much its a shame that we live in a prudish society where we all have to knuckle in and be just like the next watching what we say, What we wear, What we do, How we look whether we are covered up or not I beleive in free speech and free expression i only wish more of us did then we could all get naked together and be happy with each other look and bodies.

I'm not offended just a little uncomfortable. I know I don't look good nude in the mirror. Having said that I loved swimming nude a year ago at a quiet nudist beach on Menorca it was liberating. Maybe I just need to get a bit more comfortable with myself.
Cannot understand why religious go all funny over this topic "prudes".

Nudity does not offend me at all. Would I feel comfortable walking around in the nude? No. Why? Because I live in Canada and I'm not keen on my bits freezing off.
Religious groups like to find muck where none exists and nudity is part of that. They can carry on all they want about the decency of being clothed, but really, you're born nude...and if nudity is sinful, you're born a sin? Makes no sense to me.
Society these days tend to equate nudity with sex, or rather sexual acts. It's rather silly because if everyone were walking about naked, I doubt you'd be seeing every man with a bone.
In my view, most people look better with their clothes on than with their clothes off. That does not mean however that I find nudity wrong. I'm speaking of aesthetics here.
Those who are ashamed of their body or the bodies of others were taught that. Shame is a learned behaviour.
I was on an airplane and a woman across the aisle was breast feeding her baby. The guy sitting next to me complained to the flight attendant saying that it was obscene. I turned to him and said, "For someone who finds it offensive you haven't stopped looking at her breast the entire time."

I am not offended by nudity. I am only offended when nudity is presented distastefully or gratuitously.
For example I would not be offended by a topless woman walking through the streets, but I am offended by page 3 in newspapers.
I don't find anything wrong with personal nudity, public nudity, nudity in films or in books. In adult contexts I am not against pornography.
I do not like lewd behaviour in public places but I do not find the simple thing of the human body lewd.
Although I do not find nudity offensive I do think it is inappropriate to be nude in most public places because other people find it offensive. I don't think it is good to offend people, but if nobody around will be offended then let it all hang free!

I'm a nudist and I frequent a local nude beach when the waether is warm enough. My best friend and I spent a week hiking last summer and spent as much time in the nude as we could. This spring we are going to an all-inclusive nude resort for spring break.
My feeling is that, since we are born naked, we should be free to be that way whenever possible. Unfirtunately our culture has instilled in most of us that being nude is dirty and improper, so it limits our ability to live natually. :(

I like swimming nude too.....it's called skinny dipping and it's a blast.
Not offended by nudity when in an appropriate place. Actually, I find nudity in an INappropriate place pretty funny.....I got mooned on the subway last Halloween. Wasn't offended....but had a good laugh.
All that being said, I would not walk around buck naked. Not sure the world can handle that.

I don't find nudity offensive or immoral in any way. Of course there are many people that I would rather NOT see nude. If we lived in a society where people were not required to wear clothing in public nobody would bat an eye at nudity.

I haven't got a problem with nudity...but does the fact I get paid to do it (I'm a stripper) offend anyone more than if I was just a simple nudist??

I have been a nudist since I was 10 and that was 43 years ago.So no it does not offend me.The only thing that does is when people condemn nudism with out knowing what it is all about.
