  Have you experience something similar from other nudists in a socially nude setting?

  12. "Encouraging" newbies to undress.

  Even with the best intentions it can easily be misinterpreted as you just trying to get/see the person naked. I would say only encourage someone after you've established some kind of rapport with them.

  [quote]what am i missing on this site - what has the level of clothing got to do with anything. Textile or naturist it is simple, be nice, be social don't assume anything you wouldn't if the person was clothed or was a different sex race or physical ability.. We do not need a naturist behaviour code we have one it is called being respectful of others and aware of self. In other words it is the same behaviour code of decent textiles , decent people full stop. please stop trying to make us something different to the rest of a civilised humanity. As for never compliment somebody OMG, You see someone and say hi you look great today it makes their day, you don't say i like your tits love. Do we need to be told this?[/quote] Yes. Unfortunately there are some out there that need to be told this. Case in point. My brother-in-law invited me to a bar. It didn't take long for him to start his flirting with the girls in there. I couldn't believe what was coming out of his mouth. I asked him do you really think that's going to work? His response was and he honestly believed that " they love it.". I could clearly see on the expressions on these fine ladies' faces that, no, they don't. But he just could not get a clue on that. Yes. Some need to be told. Educated. Taught respect. And plane and simply, "get a f*****g clue". He and others like him are truly an embarrassment to the male species. Whether clothed or not.

  I'm certain that the above mentioned "rules" are not actually rules. There really are no rules to be a naturist. The list is, in my understanding, simply a set of suggestions for either sex to consider and follow if they don't want to be viewed as being creepy. But, most of us live in a free society so we can choose to act as we wish. But we need to remember that our actions, whether real or perceived, carry consequences. To that end we should act accordingly.

  Namaste.

Obviously, the OP is intended for newbies. First times can create uncertainty. One must be careful to simply act normal and polite. Catch yourself if you glance a bit too long.

  In our personal opinion a persons honor dignity and self respect are the only true gift a man can give to himself and throw away in an instant of lewid and inappropriate behaviour.

  Good points.
  Maintaining personal space, I do not like males or females getting right up on us when we're talking with them.

  [quote]Good points. Maintaining personal space, I do not like males or females getting right up on us when we're talking with them.[/quote] That's a good rule; especially with strangers at the beach or resort. But there are certain nudist settings, like get-togethers at peoples' homes, where the lack of space makes close proximity nearly unavoidable. I've tried to be cognizant of this; for example not getting too close while standing up chatting to a person sitting down. But at times it's been hard to avoid; especially in "huddle" situations where people are literally on top of each other. I guess depending on the situation getting too close or "personal space" is not always an option. At these get-togethers there was a mutual understanding and acceptance of the lack of personal space. Thus is wasn't so offensive to be a little close.

  [quote]1. Dont make comments on others bodies or looks, even if its meant as a compliment.[/quote] Would like to respectfully disagree with this rule. I think it depends upon the relationship between the people involved and the type of comment. Adults who have known each other for years may appreciate recognition of losing a lot of weight or the work put into a fitness regimen.
