										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By now most of my subscribers to this blog likely know I had been sharing images of me fully nude online for years now. Many co-workers, family members and others who know me in real life have also stumbled upon my nude images. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This article is about why I believe nudity is NOT shameful and shouldn&#8217;t be viewed as such.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_5837.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="682" src="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_5837-1024x682.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-6469" srcset="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_5837-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_5837-300x200.jpg 300w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_5837-768x512.jpg 768w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_5837.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Some Facts regarding nudity</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Below are some facts and also how society generally views nudity.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Nudity is shameful or frowned upon.</li>



<li>Nudity is seen as sexual, pornographic or lude. </li>



<li>Society teaches us to wear clothing from the moment we are born.</li>



<li>Society teaches us to be ashamed if we are seen nude.</li>



<li>Public nudity is illegal in many countries especially in the USA. </li>



<li>Many folks are closed minded when it comes to nudity &amp; most consider nudity to be straight up lude.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How I feel about nudity</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like other nudists I also have my own many beliefs regarding nudity and what nudity is to me:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Being nude is liberating and freeing. </li>



<li>It&#8217;s just skin, being nude is nothing to be ashamed of.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>I believe If more people saw nudity the way I do then the world would honestly be a better place.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>I don&#8217;t believe that nudity in itself is sexual and it certainly is not the same as porn nor are my photos pornographic in nature.</li>



<li>The human body while nude is NOT lude.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Do you think your nude pet is lude?</li>



<li>Are wild animals lude because they are nude?</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Nudity is about being yourself.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>It&#8217;s not about the brand of clothes you wear or how you look clothed or nude. It&#8217;s simply you.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I ask all my nudist friends to continue BEING YOU and don&#8217;t let society bring you down or get away with rude comments regarding nudity or your nude body. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">NO! I am NOT ashamed of myself for being nude or publishing my own nudes on the internet because it&#8217;s not about body shame, it&#8217;s not porn, it&#8217;s just me being well, ME in the natural skin I was born in.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have a problem with me being nude then simply look the other way and move on. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Please Share &amp; Comment!</h2>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you find creative nudity to be artistic in anyway, or do you simply see all nudity as sexual? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you see nudity as sexual then I think you need to open your mind a bit and think outside of the box that society has held you captive in likely all of your life. Being closed minded is not always a good thing.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How do I feel about nudity?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Simply being nude is not a sex act nor do I believe that nudity in general is sexual in the slightest bit. If anything I see nudity as artistic or beautiful, for example a person sitting in a chair, cleaning house, or just relaxing nude is not sexual at all and should not be viewed as such. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How does society view nudity?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In my own opinion I believe that society believes that all nudity is sexual, even when one isn&#8217;t committing a sex act. Society is prudish at best when it comes to bare skin, or any form of nudity especially when private areas are exposed. Society views topless women as sexual as well but topless men are not sexual which I find very goofy and backwards thinking.</p>



<h2 class="has-text-align-left has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading">Warning! Nudity ahead!</h2>



<p class="has-text-align-left has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph">If you find all nudity to be sexual then you probably should just leave this post now as this post does contain nude images of myself depicting what it is like to live life as a nudist.</p>



<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>My Nudist</strong> Lifestyle</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Coming out as a nudist</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Majority of the people I know in real life do not know this fact about me but may learn about it after reading this post. The fact is I&#8217;ve decided to come clean and be more open about my lifestyle choices because I don&#8217;t want to have to hide it anymore. I like to compare me coming out as a nudist sorta like how many gay individuals have come forward in recent years however, I&#8217;m not gay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The above said, the fact of the matter is I enjoy the nudist lifestyle, I enjoy spending as much time as I can nude, and I really just dislike clothing in general. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How It started?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My mother had a hard time keeping clothes on me as a baby as I always found some way to strip them off. I officially started my nudist journey as a teenager when I was still living with my parents after I discovered my hatred over wearing clothing and how uncomfortable clothing really is. At my parents house, I often would relax in my bedroom nude and even slept nude at times. When night fell I would often roam around my parents house nude while everybody slept just to experience more nude time. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I grew up and moved away from home I continued my lifestyle as a nudist and often practiced it in my own home when I was alone or was alone with my girlfriends at the time. I don&#8217;t practice nudism in front of my children or any kids in general because society frowns upon nudity and I don&#8217;t need legal trouble regarding this.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As of this post it is now 2018 and I still enjoy being nude whenever I possibly can and I still enjoy the nudist lifestyle at home &amp; more of my family, friends and even co-workers have discovered my love for nudism.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_0752.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="682" src="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_0752-1024x682.jpg" alt="backyard" class="wp-image-3681" srcset="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_0752-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_0752-600x400.jpg 600w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_0752-300x200.jpg 300w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_0752-768x512.jpg 768w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_0752.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many have made remarks at me like:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Aren&#8217;t you ashamed?</li><li>That should be kept behind closed doors!</li><li>What are you a perv?</li><li>Why do you want everybody to see your dick?</li><li>Nobody wants to see your dick!</li><li>Remove your nudes from the internet!</li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And here are my answers to their remarks!</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Aren&#8217;t you ashamed?<ul><li>No I&#8217;m not ashamed! I&#8217;m proud of who I am and you should be proud of who you are. If you aren&#8217;t then you likely aren&#8217;t happy.</li></ul></li><li>That should be kept behind closed doors!<ul><li>Maybe, but to me coming out as a nudist is like others coming out as gay. I&#8217;m just trying to come out and be open with others.</li></ul></li><li>What are you a perv?<ul><li>No, actually I&#8217;m not a perv. Nudism isn&#8217;t a sexual act, it&#8217;s a state of dress and my preferred state of dress is nude.</li></ul></li><li>Why do you want everybody to see your dick?<ul><li>Never said I wanted everybody to see my dick, I&#8217;m just trying to come out about being a nudist and promote the lifestyle.</li></ul></li><li>Nobody wants to see your dick!<ul><li>Understandable, not everybody is open minded. Don&#8217;t look then!</li></ul></li><li>Remove your nudes from the internet!<ul><li>Um&#8230; I can&#8217;t. Once they have been shared and others have saved/shared them there is nothing I can do to ensure they are all removed from the internet and will not resurface again. At this point all I can do is embrace the fact that people have and will see me nude.</li><li>Many other folks have since re-posted my nudes all over the internet &amp; even have added them to their blog posts. </li></ul></li></ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The truth is, I don&#8217;t often talk about the nudist lifestyle in a professional setting because society has taught us that nudity is sexual, that we are only nude when we shower or have sex. I firmly believe the opposite and likely will until the day I leave this world.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Exactly is Nudism?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to the Wikipedia page on <strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturism">Naturism</a></strong> it is described as the following:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Naturism, or nudism, is a cultural and political movement practicing, advocating, and defending personal and social nudity, most but not all of which takes place on private property. The term may also refer to a lifestyle based on personal, family, or social nudism. Naturism may take a number of forms. It may be practiced individually, within a family, socially, or in public. Additionally, there is also militant naturism, including campaigning, and extreme naturism is sometimes considered a separate category.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many people are often nude in the privacy of their home or garden, either alone or with members of the family; naturists normally refer to them as at-home-nudists or closet-nudists. This may be occasional nudity or as a naturist lifestyle. There are differences of opinion as to whether, and if so to what extent, parents should appear naked in front of their children, and whether children should be nude within the home in the view of their family as well as visitors. This has attracted a great deal of academic study.</p>
