Ok. I just singed up here... not sure if there's value, but it's worth a try. If not, I guess I can just delete. I'm here to learn. Some basic background. I grew up on a farm where nudity seemed normal, natural but no one said we were nudists. It just was sort of there. Then after I left the farm, I wasn't nude anymore. And now with my own family I have started wondering if there was something to the way I grew up that was healthy or my parents understand that I didnt. So here I am, asking alot of bothersome questions :) I guess I want to know about how to put into words the value of nakendess? And if its ok to admire the nature of bodies? or is that not ok. And how does nakedness affect sex, and vice versa. And if I'm introducing it newly to us here, is the incremental approach best? Also, if we adopt this culture, does it affect how I behave in other situations, like are unisex change rooms and showers ok -- and should I be pursuing or advocating for those, like at our local pool or camp grounds etc. Sorry if too much. As I said, maybe I'm in wrong place to ask so much. But this is me!

I'd love to meet or chat with peope maybe in one of these categories: You were exposed to nudity when young, but stopped, and now started again. Or, you only considered it as an adult -- for whatever reason. Or, you encountered or participated in nudity from an early age but it wasn't really considered formally as nudism. Also, anyone who has compassionately helped others break free from purish or religiously limiting views on this.
