New Naturist Swim starting in November

[onewheeldave]

 

 

Here's the question again to anyone who wishes to give a sensible reply and not take it as anything but a genuine question.....

 

I think it's because they are naturists- they tend to like doing things without clothes when it's possible.

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

 

 

 

'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.

 

 

 

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.

 

Surely even you can see the difference between this event and the highlighted ones above.

That doesn't answer the question we all know they are naturists the question is why do they prefer to swim naked than with swimwear on what makes it a better experience for them?

The difference is that this event involves people without clothes. If that doesn't make it clear, then simply tag on an event involving swimming- say, a swimming meet. That's identical in every way to this event, with the exception of the clothing element.

 

Getting to your point- a standard swimming event does not require registered membership- so, why should this one, when the only difference is the absence of clothing?

You asked a question, and, my reply is an answer (one answer- others may have different answers).

 

Did you read the link?

 

It explains the various motivations of naturists-

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturism

 

if you do know what naturism is about, then it should pretty obvious that they like to swim naked because they like being naked.

 

I find it really bizarre that you're asking why people who like being naked, want to swim without clothes.

 

Why do you not get that people who like being naked would want to swim without clothes.

 

What other possible motivation could they have, other than the fact that they like being naked?

 

(obviously there can be other reasons in addition to liking being naked, such as more political ones based around challenging the widespread public opposition to people choosing to not wear clothes etc).

So in your words people like to swim with no clothes because they are naturists and like being naked...A pretty bland answer.

 

You still fail to answer the question of why people prefer to swim naked rather than in swimwear.

 

We know they are naturists and we know they like it but the question is, WHY DO THEY LIKE IT AND PREFER IT?

 

What do they get from it that they could not get by wearing swimwear?

 

You really are failing in your chance to promote this pastime to new people.

gotta agree with backhome. Its a fairly reasonable question he/she is asking.

I'm not a naturist, but have enjoyed swimming naked on a number of occasions.

 

The answer I would give, is that it feels nice. It's liberating. It's being at one with nature.

My bold.

 

In Chapletown swimming pool with a bunch of strangers?

 

Thanks for your reply on your experiences I have actually come across naturism in numerous parts of the world and am genuinely interested to know the reasons people consider they benefit from it.

I'm not trying to promote it- it's the op's responsibility to promote their event.

'Bland' it may be, but, as you yourself have just admitted, it is an answer.

 

How about you now answer my questions?

(obviously there can be other reasons in addition to liking being naked, such as more political ones based around challenging the widespread public opposition to people choosing to not wear clothes etc).

 

After all, when you have a bath/shower, it would be perfectly feasable, would it not, for you to wear some swimwear? Yet you choose not to. Why?

 

Yet you then question why a group of naturists- people who by definition, prefer to not wear cloths when possible, given a choice between swimming in swimwear, or, swimming without swimwear, would choose the latter.

 

You could go along to events like this and swim naked. Why do you choose instead, to swim wearing swimwear?

Your using having a bath as a comparison to groups of people swimming naked in a swimming pool is at best a pathetic attempt.:roll:.

 

I never said I prefer to swim wearing swimwear.

 

Regarding your answer "because they like it":roll: no answer at all to the question.:hihi:.

Is it my imagination or is Backhome just arguing for arguments sake? People have offered answers to his original question, references have been posted that appear to give him substantially more insight on the subject than originally asked for yet this poster still seeks more. Why
