  After reading most of the posts on this, I have to agree that the world would be a better place if we all hugged a little more, I enjoy walking with my wife holding her hand, nude or clothed, like MRs bunny said to start this, what signs of PDA you do dressed are usually appropriate nude, although not readily available in everyone, common sense should prevail in these matters.

  A hug or a cuddle or a kiss is not out of place while in the company of other nudist.Just don't go overboard.

  My wife loves to cuddle and kiss anytime anywhere, whether  we are alone or in company, clothed or naked.
  So when we are at a nudist venue, she acts the same way as do I.  If the mood arises we kiss and cuddle, be it on land or in the water, be it a pool or an open water venue.
  As others have mentioned displaying affection varies from country to countryTake Vietnam for example : its common to see people of same sex couples (with neither of them being gay or lesbian sexually) walking down the streets holding hands. Indicating a non sexual platonic friiendship.
  Its also rare to see mixed couples doing the same unless they are non Asian. Although I see the younger generation mixed couples areore open to showing affection to each other in public.
  And cuddling as a greeting FORGET IT. Its just not done between strangers and not in public between mixed couples.

  All the afore are signs of a great relationship...it's affection that truly lets your spouse know how you feel.  And...I'm not going to stop until I stop breathing....

  There is a time and place for everything.  I have no problems seeing a kiss, hug, cuddle etc, but when it starts to border on making out, then get a room.

  Life is difficult enough.  When our culture begins to police affection,  when common opinion begins to dictate displays of affection, then we are going downhill as a culture.  Affinity for other people, liking other people and in particular, liking our best friends, i.e. our spouses, is the foundation of culture, our organized society, and to attempt to stop, inhibit or enforce a natural expression such as a handshake, hug or kiss is beyond reason.  If some people can not tolerate seeing honest affection then they can look at their thumbs for entertainment. lol.

  [quote]Needed[/quote] Ditto. Cuddling and kissing needed here too. Aside from that, it is the norm in most of Europe to give a kiss on each cheek w/a light hug upon meeting a friend (3 kisses in the Netherlands). It does a body good to share nonsexual warmth: and if your friendship is closer than most, well whatever. It doesn't matter if you're textiles or not.

  In Asia ts a shoulders only hug, and couples holding hands walking down the street was a no no too, but more and more couples are breaking the taboo and showing simple hand holding affection. Me I love to cuddle others clothed or nude and giving the wife a kiss in public is OK but I feel a tonsil washing kids is a bit over the top in public.

  We now live in a country of copy cats. Most people are followers. To explain this. We have gotten to a point where the big word of the day is "offended". Every person it seems is brainwashed to look for something that offends them anymore. Once a person announces he or she hears or sees something that they think is offensive , everbody wants to jump on board. And like rumors, they add more to the story to put their point across. It gets blown up for really no good reason other than somewhere, someone didnt like it. Its a vicious cycle that unfortunatly will now always continue and limit our real fun in life.

  I personally see nothing wrong with holding hands, cuddling, kissing, or showing your significant other any signs of affection while you're nude. Whatever you can do clothed you can do nude.

  Why do people feel a need or an entitlement to have an opinion or even get worked up about what OTHER people do? Once theyre happy and theyre not invading my space or harming anyone I cant see any reason why I should be entitled to have an opinion on other people showing affection or doing whatever they like. Naturism is about freedom, not naked puritanism. Live and let love!

  Tbh I sometimes wonder are prudists just a little bit jealous.

  Totally agree, but then I'm really open minded about letting people love who they want to love and show affection as they choose as long as everyone's consenting and not harming anyone. If people are holding hands or snuggling or kissing why do I get to care who they are? Let them snuggle up. I wouldn't want someone to come up and tell me I can't snuggle with who I want to.

  What a fun topic to dive into! I totally get where you're coming from. Showing love, whether on a nudist beach or anywhere else, should be something you both enjoy. If youre nervous about how itll be received, maybe start with lighter displays of affection and see how others are reacting. Ultimately, as long as you respect the atmosphere, a couple of kisses and cuddles can add some sweetness to your day at the beach..

  As everything related to nudism, you can do whatever you do when your clothed. If showing signs of affection is allowed when clothed, it is allowed when naked. What is really forbidden is going a step wider and start doing sexual things.
