I have been interested in nude social events for some time, but I have never found the opportunity to engage in such in my short twenty years of existance, eighteen of which having lived at home. I have been really intested in people describing what the "scene" is like before I would engage in such. If it turns out to be an activity where people engage solely in narcissistic pleasure or recreational voyeurism, I'm not interested. The bar scene reminds me too much of that. On the other hand, I would be intested in almost anything that helps bridge the gap of (what I consider) self imposed isolation between strangers. I also feel that I have the ancient Greek's appreciation of the human body (no gay jokes, please). I really appreciate Pete LaMaster's articles on his experiences, and I would encourage (for whatever good one persons opinion is worth) anyone else to tender their experiences. If in fact, nude activities have rich social connotations, it would be nice if this newsgroup would pick up pace, and perhaps sponser discussions to this effect. Potential topics: o Is the comraderie at nude beaches similar to the comraderie among members of a sports teem (remembering my soccer days). o Do people actually act more open to each other when they are nude. Side note, are people generally less inclinded to display a facade when nude. o Do the little kids (I assumed there were some) of the families at these beaches, seem to be getting a better perspective (pun intended) of sex education. Just to throw in an opinion, I used to hate how parents seemed to be so anal (sorry) about nudity. o Due nudists seem to be more free spirited and less constrained by society.
