Hi all, I've a doubt regarding naturists acceptance if a fellow naturist is circumcised or not. Do naturists only accept circumcised naturist? If a naturist is not circumcised, will they be shunned?

bare_leeJul 12, 2024Body acceptance is very much a part of naturism. At the beach, resorts, and other naked meetings I have seen both circumcised and un. Never has been an issue. I would be very surprised if you experienced any negativity around this. After all for most of us it is something we did not choose.

JohnJul 12, 2024[quote] As far as nudists/naturists go and their acceptance, I don't think you can make a blanket statement that they are all accepting of anything. Nudists/naturists like to talk a big story about acceptance, but they aren't really that different than clothed society with all its biases and prejudices against one another.[/quote] I'll grant you that. Nudism isn't some sort of ideal society that is free of all traces of prejudice and bias. No society is. But I'll have to add that having repudiated one prejudice, the one about needing to wear clothes all the time, we are probably a little more likely to be accepting of other variations to "normality." As for a circumcised penis, I regard such a thing in the same category of a missing breast or finger, or a large scar. None of those things were acquired voluntarily. They were all the result of circumstances dictated by forces outside their control. The person didn't have any choice in the matter. So I have to accept them as they are. I can't claim that everybody feels the same way about the issue as I do, though.ReactReply - EA
EarlDJul 12, 2024If you are in a genuine naturist situation nobody pays attention to whether a person is circumcised or not and they certainly wouldnt shun someone because of something like. Behavior is what matters in naturist community.

SteveJul 13, 2024I agree with AndyDi that nudists (and *particularly* people who call themselves that online*) don't necessarily set aside all their prejudices. But really, circumcision barely makes the list. In one culture or generation it may be common, in another, it may be rare, but neither state will be completely unfamiliar anywhere; it's not a personal choice anyway; and except conceivably in evaluation a sex partner, most people really, really, don't care at all.
Alone behind a keyboard, it's easy to be a bit preoccupied with oneself - the only one really present, after all - and to be fearful of the absent Other, and I think mostly for that reason you'll find lots of concern expressed online. But in real life - nothing.

FabienneJul 13, 2024I've been to naturist venues since I was a toddler. Never heard someone talk bad about if a guy was circumcised or not. You know, naturism ist also about body acceptance and mutual esteem.
As usually people ger circumcised as kids, it's not their own choice anyway and no one can hold them responsible for the result later as an adult.

He grew up in Taiwan and as a preteen his family relocated to Vancouver. He had an older brother who got involved with high school sports and came home complaining to his parents that the Canadian boys were kidding him about not being circumcised. His folks solution was to send him to the doctor to have it done and they sent my friend along to have his done too. They gave the younger brother no say in the matter. Just figured that he too would have the same issue , so they nipped it in the bud so to speak.ReactReply - EAEarlDJul 13, 2024Agree with this point. One of the significant differences between real life naturism and what is done online. When I see these kinds of concerns online I always think how absent those conversations are from real life naturist conversations. [quote]I've been to naturist venues since I was a toddler.

I personally haven't faced it, but seeing some articles and most naturist photos in magazines has circumcised penis photos, got a doubt.

Yeah, even I was thinking about this. Naturism is meant to accept without bias and yet few articles and magazines, along with few "self titled naturists" on internet made me doubt it
ReactReply - MNMr. NirvanaOriginal PosterJul 14, 2024
True, circumcision itself is changing what one has. Unless it's a medical emergency to remove. Though I wouldn't judge anyone circumcised or not. Hell, I don't even note that much when I'm with other naturists. And yeah few so called self titled naturists are nothing but exhibitionists, creeps etc.

True that
ReactReply - MNMr. NirvanaOriginal PosterJul 14, 2024
Correct. Yet coming from a orthodox culture and growing up in a small town that developed when I left the place, I don't even know what's a circumcision is until few years ago. So,I did have a self doubt if I'll be odd one out

True, most of the fake naturists these days online talk nudity and show their nude pictures, just so they can get to see someone else nude

First of all, it's still a stigma to even talk about naturism and the fake one takes advantage of that. Even when platforms created for nudists or naturists, these fake ones come along and mislead newbies.

I for one don't like to judge others. I don't even see in that much detail others. Maybe as a beginner would look at others, but won't stare at them. And that too in detail seeing what theirs look like be it male or female, not happeningReactReply - MNMr. NirvanaOriginal PosterJul 14, 2024[quote]I agree with AndyDi that nudists (and *particularly* people who call themselves that online*) don't necessarily set aside all their prejudices.

But in real life - nothing. Excellent point regarding real life nudists and keyboard nudists. If a search is done about circumcision or pubic hair, you'll find that there are many, many "nudists" that have a strong feeling about both. Some of these nudists make comments such as, "having no pubic hair makes you look like a child. You're trying too hard to be young. It's not natural. You have pubic hair for a reason." The rebuttals are what you'd expect from the real nudists and many end their comments with, "so much for being accepting and tolerant." With regards to being circumcised or not, most of the negative comments are that being cut is more sanitary and cleaner. It's as if they are saying that having an uncut penis is dirty and that the guys that aren't cut are dirty and don't wash. One of the many reasons my wife won't partake in this type of nudism/naturism. Many things are said here that you would not say to someone's face. Granted, there are probably more trolls, pervs, scammers and fake nudists here, combined, than there are real nudists. I will admit that being uncut, I've never had anyone say anything negative to me about in person while at the beach, clubs or resorts. Doesn't mean they might be thinking something negative. :D[/quote] True, there's not enough filtering on profiles of these fake ones. I myself don't judge one's appearance. I don't even see in detail be it male or female. As a newbie in public beach or naturist resort, I might take a double look at the people. That's all. I won't even stare as I understand that would be rude and infiltrate their space.ReactReply

Here unfortunately you often don't get any reaction (like a short thank you), even if you answer to a question detailed and with some time of writing and recherche. So have a lot of fun at your nudist venues and don't worry too much about your little friend ;-)ReactReply

MarcusJul 15, 2024In naturism under Hitler circumcised penises were a problem, because you belong to the wrong race. Nowadays nobody cares, it would be not political correct if you care.
