I have frequently been told that being Nude is not the normal thing for a person to be doing. I quite often reply " Well what is Normal". A normal person does not go Hang Gliding or collect Star Wars figures. Is normal something that most of the population do. A normal person does not go around killing people or go to church every Sunday. So what is normal. I would be interested in finding out other peoples views and what they have replied when asked this question.

Reuben TitusMar 23, 2020Being abnormal makes me unique, working nude may not be normal in our society, but it's my normal since I work nude more than clothed. It may have been normal for Peter to work nude in his fishing boat, especially on warm nights. It was obviously normal for agriculture workers to work nude in those times as well, so normal it was never mentioned except being referred to once by Jesus. "Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes." Matt 24:18

AaronApr 6, 2020Coming from the educational profession, normal or average is BS. If I plan to teach for the normal or average student I have failed at my job. What I may consider as normal or average does not apply to 99% of the students hence why I have to diversify my lessons and have planned adjustments at the ready. My point is normal or average does not exist. People who are not nudists and do not personally know any nudists may consider nudism to be unusual and that is fine. I consider CrossFit to be an unusual hobby but for some others, it is a major part of their life.

OllyApr 6, 2020What is a "normal" colour? Or a "normal" shade of gray? Go to a paint shop and you'll fid several shades of white paint! One person's normal is like another person's"What the Heck". As nudists we are about as normal as a vegetarian, a fisherman, a train spotter, a stamp collector, a bee keeper, a bird spotter. It strikes me the only men who are considered "normal" drink beer and support a football team (and even they can't agree which one to support). Wouldn't life be boring if everyone was the same! And as nudists we are a protected minority (at least here in the UK).ReactReply - TDTom DApr 6, 2020[quote]What is a "normal" colour? Or a "normal" shade of gray?

And so called "normal" people can be wrong.
The consensus reality is often very uninformed.ReactReply - MEMemberJun 3, 2020
Normal is subjective and is based on what the majority do. Once the majority shifts there is a new normal. If normal is what is natural, what could be more natural than nudity? Wearing clothes in unnatural.
