Comments on: Is It Cheaper to Be Nudist? http://www.savingadvice.com/blog/2007/08/29/101725_is-it-cheaper-to-be-nudist.html Bridging the gap between saving money and investing Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:32:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: All Nudist http://www.savingadvice.com/blog/2007/08/29/101725_is-it-cheaper-to-be-nudist.html#comment-354334 All Nudist Fri, 04 Jul 2008 01:35:18 +0000 http://www.savingadvice.com/blog/2007/08/29/101725_is-it-cheaper-to-be-nudist.html#comment-354334 Why is it that Textiles insist that nudist/naturists should wear clothes but we don't insist that they get naked? Why are they so afraid of us? Or, are they simply afraid of their own hidden natures and assume we harbor the same dark thoughts and desires... After all, they are seeking out postings like this to get their kicks. It would be very easy for them to just look the other way. When you see the anger and venem they express, it makes you feel sorry for someone who has to live like that with themself. A sad way to life that could be so wonderful.

I did like it! I doubt whether it is realy cheaper to be a nudist, as still, they have to wear clothes at work, and other public places. But the article is really good, I laughed! Thanks!

I have found that I can do many everyday chores and activities while nude with no increased risk to my body. Put nudism to the test. Next time you clean the house, cook or if possible some yard work do it nude. There are things you can safely do in the nude and there are things best done with clothing.

The above article I question. Save the kayaking & canoeing or canude. Nudists only save money: 1. At nudist colonies. 2. some pvt homes Otherwise Impossible to achieve for many in So CA who had 1 week of 103 plus F Heat alone. So CA has Too few Nude Areas for Public acess to make Economics viable. Good Econ case though. Its only cheap from the 1st article approach to Nude Rec.

Weirdos, if you ask me." No one asked you--especially since you have no idea what you're talking about. If we're "mostly men" then where are the women to ogle? Also, you're obviously unaware that most nudists are old and way overweight. Why would I want to ogle a woman who weighs twice what I do, or is 20 or more years my senior? At 5'8" and 190 pounds and aged 61, I'm one of the skinniest and youngest nudists I've seen. I enjoy it because God has removed the shame of my body He gave me. I enjoy the comfort of being nude--especially since I live in Florida where clothes are useless. Perverts are NOT welcome in nudist resorts. They are told to leave and not return, and are blacklisted in other resorts. Some may be arrested depending on what they do. Children and women are safer in nudist resorts than they are at non-nudist beaches. Most nudist resorts are family oriented, and there is NO sexual activity allowed in public. Cameras are NOT allowed. We're too busy swimming, soaking in the hot tub, enjoying outdoor games like volley ball, tennis and others, or just soaking up the sun and getting an all-over tan to ogle anyone even if there was anyone to ogle. While all bodies are beautiful because God created them, not all bodies look good enough to ogle. LOL! Quote: “I think nudist groups are made up mostly of men who want to ogle women.

As I said before, I don't think jokes based on totally incorrect impressions are funny. But if there's any basis in truth, they can be hilarious. Now isn't a good time for me to be writing jokes, but if I think of one, I'll post it here.

Long time nudist here. Water Buffalo has it correct. We truly have to laugh at ourselves. Humor is the vitamin for life. Cheri Alexander posted that she might not look her age! I would have loved to look at 35 how she looks at 60. In fact I can't believe she is 60 except I know her and she would not lie about that. I love this dialog! Long time nudist here.

We all need to be a bit more media savvy. I'm a nudist, and I took this piece to be satirical. As for nudists in general, we tend to get defensive about humor pieces because we've seen so many that use humor to attack us as weirdos and we're tired of it. (I'm not saying that was done here.) Of course that does not excuse rude responses. You lose whatever supporters you may have that way. But if there were one request most of us could make, it might be to make some new jokes. In the Internet age, you read one commentary on nudism by a non-nudist, you've pretty much read 'em all. Maybe nudists need to start writing jokes about being naked, to show these "textiles" how it's done. That would beat complaining or preaching. Or how about a piece imagining what it must be like to wear clothes? The mistake alot of people make is reading an opinion/humor piece as if it were a straight news article.

I am an officiate and preform nude weddings. I loved your commentary because it is to me funny I have a selection of why nude weddings are cheaper,all the bridesmaids dresses are the same, no tux rental, silk flowers are best no bees. On the real side of life comedy aside, being a nudist is a very free state of mind, we do not go to look or be looked at. It is the great equalizer with out the dressing you get to know who your friends are inside and that is where real people are. My wife once weighed 380 pounds because of some medical issues, our nudists friends were the only ones that could look her in the eye and know she is the most wonderful person. People in the textile world didn't take the time to talk to her, never knew what they missed. She is well now and a more normal weight. Mediacal bills not from sunburn. We do not even use sunblock,if we were going to be at a nude beach we take a shade structure. Our club has so much fun on the 15'th we are going to have redneck nudelympics at the oldest nude park in South Carolina.(colony come on) Seriously try Nudist lifestyle with an open mind then write your article.
