There is a group on TN calledTRUENudists who are also TRUESwingers. This is quite a popular group in that it has over 800 members. I don't have any problem with this concept as long as the swinging is kept separate form the nudism at least on this site. What I would like to know from the swingers is the acceptance of that life style by the general pubic. It seems to me that whenever the different life styles are addressed by the general public, the swingers are thought of as generally normal people but greatly over sexed. The nudists. on the other hand, are thought to be some kind of weirdos. Am I wrong here in my assessment, or has anyone else felt this way? If this assessment is correct than I am quite perplexed. I am a monogamous male who also happens to be a nudist but, in my case, the nudist life style must be kept private. I don't believe the same degree of privacy must be maintained by the swingers. What are your thoughts on this? Am I right or wrong? Thank you.

    Interesting topic. I believe the general public has a pretty good idea of what swingers are whether or not they approve of that lifestyle. On the other hand I believe the general public is almost totally ignorant about nudism, but they seem to mostly have a rather low opinion of it. Most textiles are burdened with misconceptions and their own wild imaginations. Any attempt at serious discussion of the subject would most likely be met with ridicule. People are embarrassed to discuss nudism. I don't know how to get past that.

    Agree AndyDi, as always your thoughts are spot on.  But genuine nudists need to continue to try as long as they are not constrained by concerns over their professional lives.  Increasing general discussion, especially in the media will help but will take a very long time.  Unfortunately, the media still depicts the sexual side most often.

    In my opinion, swingers want people to know what they are and this allows them to recruit new contacts.

    I spoke to a couple about this, saying if I was a swinger, I would want it kept secret. They then explained why they thought the opposite.

    I tried swinging once, but never again: Fell out the tree and nearly broke my back.

Leave the trees for the monkeys to climb.

Thank you.I whole heartedly agree that swingers don't need groups on tn , for I believe tn should be nudist and discussing things nudist care about and do, plus tn has a sister site called ts true swingers , which a lot of us belong to both, so when I am on tn or at a resort I am a full fledged nudist , when I am on ts I am a swinger looking for a good time, never the two mix, also I am a certified pd member of both sites, by the way there are about 8000 or so members of ts ..Ruhl 9

I'm bored by all the sexual desire. I have my partner whom I'm loyal to. We are happy to just be nudists at home but also abroad. I wouldn't want to swing.[/quote]

    Well, sex sells. Always has, always will. Nudity, especially among "ordinary" people, doesn't sell unless it's KK's rear end, and even then it's more about sex.
