backhome Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Can you explain why some may think it better to swim with swimwear on than naked? Well all I can think of is people prefer to swim naked to either look at or be looked at by others otherwise why not wear swimwear? By the way I am not trying to have a go at anyone I am just struggling to understand the reasons behind it and would like anyone to explain them to me.

For the vast majority of people who like to swim naked you couldn't be further from the truth. You will never understand any explanation until you've tried it yourself.

A couple of things about this event raise concerns for me. 1/ Anyone can roll up on the day and take part. 2/ Under 18's allowed if supervised.

simonj Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 My experience is based on sunny secluded Mediterranean beaches only however given the fact that this particular event has been held before without any reported incident or concern I would suggest that you have nothing to worry about. You could always go along and see for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewheeldave Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Well all I can think of is people prefer to swim naked to either look at or be looked at by others otherwise why not wear swimwear? When thinking about it did it not occur that, in addition to the somewhat 'pervy' 2 options you came up with, could be things like 'just prefering the feel of swimming naked', or, simply lacking the strange hang-ups some people have about the naked body? By the way I am not trying to have a go at anyone I am just struggling to understand the reasons behind it and would like anyone to explain them to me. I disagree- I think you are having a go at people. I think on some level you are the type of person who does have a hangup about nakedness and who doesn't like the thought of those who don't, being allowed to get together and enjoy being naked. ---------- Post added 22-02-2013 at 22:48 ---------- Try me.

Why shouldn't anyone be able to turn up and take part. Why shouldn't under 18's (supervised) be allowed: Naturism isn't restricted only to those aged 18+ Edited February 22, 2013 by onewheeldave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you think wrong and since when has asking a straight question been a crime? And where do I say I don't like the thought of people being allowed to get naked and enjoy it? I have not tried to judge anyone but asked for peoples explanations and you start going on about people having hang ups:loopy: Take a long hard look at yourself with a reply like that. ---------- Post added 22-02-2013 at 21:54 ---------- When thinking about it did it not occur that, in addition to the somewhat 'pervy' 2 options you came up with, could be things like 'just prefering the feel of swimming naked', or, simply lacking the strange hang-ups some people have about the naked body?

I would have thought some kind of checked membership more suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewheeldave Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 [/b] Well you think wrong and since when has asking a straight question been a crime? And where do I say I don't like the thought of people being allowed to get naked and enjoy it? I have not tried to judge anyone but asked for peoples explanations and you start going on about people having hang ups:loopy: Take a long hard look at yourself with a reply like that. It's you who equated nakedness with some kind of weirdness- it's you who can only see voyeurism as a reason for people who value the right to be naked wanting to get together. Perhaps it would be appropriate for you to take a long hard 'look' at yourself [/b] Well the way I see it is this advertised event stating under 18 year olds may be there and it is open to everyone gives the possibility of any sicko turning up.... I would have thought some kind of checked membership more suitable. 'Sicko turning up'? I'm sure if a 'sicko' (whatever that means) turns up, I expect the responsible adults there will deal with them? 'sicko' can turn up to any event, for example, a bingo meet, a pub crawl, or a knitting circle- that doesn't mean that bingo meets, pub crawls and knitting circles should require checked membership. I think naturists get so much prejudicial public opposition that keeps their numbers low, that the last thing they need is an obligation to run 'checked membership' at their events. The only difference between naturist events like this, and the other events I just mentioned, is an absence of clothes- enforced 'checked membership' would only further reinforce the unjustified associations with perversion that much of the misguided/confused public seem to tag onto them.
