<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most controversial topic I often hear about is people asking why I share nudes online. People simply can&#8217;t wrap their heads around why somebody would willingly expose themselves nude to the world. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I often get comments like:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Why do you share nudes online?</li>



<li>Why would you want people to see you nude?</li>



<li>Aren&#8217;t you ashamed?</li>



<li>Nobody wants to see you nude!</li>



<li>Your privates are only for your partner to see.</li>



<li>Your privates are meant to be private!</li>



<li>What are you a pedophile? </li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While I do understand people&#8217;s concerns about why <em>they do</em> not want to be seen nude. I personally do not have any hang up at all with being viewed clothed or nude. I&#8217;m not ashamed of my body, I&#8217;m comfortable in my skin. I&#8217;m happy simply being nude regardless of who sees me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before you get it twisted&#8230; I DO NOT:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Share nudes with minors nor do I intend for minors to view my photos.</li>



<li>Flash others to get a rise out of them.</li>



<li>Share nudes in DMS with total strangers.</li>



<li>Have any sexual desire regarding nudity.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">My intentions</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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. </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Educate others about the nudist lifestyle.</li>



<li>Show others that being nude isn&#8217;t sexual.</li>



<li>Highlight nudity as a normal state of being.</li>



<li>Normalize nudity so others stop sexualizing it.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I believe we can&#8217;t normalize nudity if we don&#8217;t show nudity in normal day to day activities. Simply telling people that nudity isn&#8217;t sexual isn&#8217;t enough if we can&#8217;t back it up. I like backing up my proof that nudity can be normal by simply showing it in photos.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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.</p>
