    A friend of mine once told me that a nudist went around without their clothes on while a naturist went around without their clothes on and talked about it.

    I really do not see much of a difference between the two. You can call me a nudist or a naturist I don’t care.

    However in talking with people I often say I am a naturist which makes them think a bit whereas if I say nudist the negative connotation immediately comes into their mind.

    It depends with whom I am talking.  If it's a textile person and I'm bringing up the topic, I will say skinnydipper.  If it's someone who knows I'm a nudist, I'll use the term nudist.  If it's a reporter or other marketing/pr issue, I'll use the term naturist.

    I like the connotation of being close to nature that naturist engenders and therefore identify more with that term but I have no real preference.
