My journey through life is not one to be understood

There is a saying that “Not everyone will understand your journey”. This quote is very much true for my own life as most people do not understand me. Most folks do not understand why I do the things I do. I’m often questioned on my choices I make in life and the things I share.

Most controversial

The most controversial topic I often hear about is people asking why I share nudes online. People simply can’t wrap their heads around why somebody would willingly expose themselves nude to the world.

I often get comments like:

  • Why do you share nudes online?
  • Why would you want people to see you nude?
  • Aren’t you ashamed?
  • Nobody wants to see you nude!
  • Your privates are only for your partner to see.
  • Your privates are meant to be private!
  • What are you a pedophile?

While I do understand people’s concerns about why they do not want to be seen nude. I personally do not have any hang up at all with being viewed clothed or nude. I’m not ashamed of my body, I’m comfortable in my skin. I’m happy simply being nude regardless of who sees me.

Before you get it twisted… I DO NOT:

  • Share nudes with minors nor do I intend for minors to view my photos.
  • Flash others to get a rise out of them.
  • Share nudes in DMS with total strangers.
  • Have any sexual desire regarding nudity.

Some folks I know have tried to defame me by calling me a pedophile. These people think that I share nudity or I often times go nude for the wrong reasons. I do not believe that me simply being nude, or sharing about my nudist journey makes me a pedophile. My intentions behind sharing and promoting nudism are pure.

My intentions

I have many good intentions behind my posts, and my sharing of nudity online. Some of my intentions and reasons for sharing nudity online are as listed below.

  • Educate others about the nudist lifestyle.
  • Show others that being nude isn’t sexual.
  • Highlight nudity as a normal state of being.
  • Normalize nudity so others stop sexualizing it.

I believe we can’t normalize nudity if we don’t show nudity in normal day to day activities. Simply telling people that nudity isn’t sexual isn’t enough if we can’t back it up. I like backing up my proof that nudity can be normal by simply showing it in photos.

“To be naked is to be oneself.” — Ruth Barcan

Every photo I share to the general public is simply just me, unclothed, and entirely non-sexual. If you see my photos as sexual then you simply need to change your perspective on nudity and learn to be more open minded.

Please leave me a comment and tell me if you can relate.

    Great read! You touched a lot of the stigma towards nudism that is often automatically assumed by the majority.
    For me personally, I am simply uncomfortable when I am fully clothed. I even have my best sleep when I’m nude. I’ll toss and turn all night if I have clothing on.
    It’s difficult connecting with other like minded nudists because not everyone has the right intentions for their nudity. Mine is all about being and feeling free & being more in tune with the nature around me on a sensory level.
    I just wish it was easier to find people on the same wavelength that aren’t on creepy time haha. Anywho, nice blog entry and keep on being the positive informative nudist that you are!

      The sensory level is a huge part of it. I’m like you and also most comfortable when entirely nude. I’m also not shy to be nude and have no issues being seen nude. I just find nude to be another form of “dressed”.

    Being nude feels great!!
    That’s why I have chosen to live in clothing optional campgrounds for the last 6 years.
    As far as the sexual side of nudity, it’s no different than in the clothed community.
    However, the nude community tends to be more open and truthful in their conversations. They seem to have nothing to hide. What you see and hear is what you get.

      Exactly. I wish I could live in a nudist community where I never have to put on clothing.
