Nudism and Porn

According to a 2018 article in Psychologytoday.com “In terms of basic results, they found that 73 percent of women and 98 percent of men reported internet porn use in the last six months, for a total of 85 percent of respondents.” The disturbing facts are the number of children from age 8 years old and older, that have either intentionally or unintentionally viewed internet porn.

This article isn’t necessarily about porn and if it is good or bad, that is a personal decision and topic.

The problem I find with porn is that it provides a negative stereotyping for nudist.

Float Tank

Float tank at Float Spokane

Have you ever heard of sensory deprivation tank, or often referred to as “float therapy”?

A float tank is a large soundproof tank/tub that contains about a foot of Epson salt filled water. The water is normally warmed up to the standard body temperature, so you aren’t to cold or to hot. While it is only 12 inches of water, the salt helps you to float. The soundproof part of the tank helps to cut out the background noise and allows you to help remove distractions and get the benefit of deprivation.

According to an article written by Michael J. Breus, Ph.D. in Psychology Today, he states that “there’s a growing body of research that demonstrates the potential for floatation therapy to significantly improve physical pain. Studies show pain relief is one of the most prominent benefits of floatation REST therapy. While we’re still relatively early in exploring the full spectrum of possible therapeutic benefits, scientific research has investigated float therapy in treating many different types of pain and pain conditions, with promising results.” REST stands for restricted environmental stimulation therapy.

You Say You Understand: But Do You?

ook at the many protests that are occurring across the U.S and we (the white people) trying to tell our African American brothers and sisters “I know what you going through and I support you”. Truth breaker, you have no idea what they are going through unless you are black, indigenous or a person of color (BIPOC) and then you may begin to understand the oppression, targeting, and discrimination another person faces. Until then, you can only assume what it is like from what you have seen on T.V. or been told by another person

Labels

Have you ever noticed in our society everyone has a label? This label helps to fit them in a perfect little box, so everyone knows just how to quietly judge them.

Whether it is your sexuality, relationship status, race/ethnicity, financial status, education level, religious choosing, political affiliation or any one of the varieties of lifestyle choices you make.

Everything must have a label. Without it, we often seek to find out what it is.

Swingers and Nudist|Nudist and Swingers

Two groups of people that often get lumped together are swingers and nudist.

People assume that nudist are swingers, and swingers are nudist.

While there is certainly a large combination of both, it isn’t true for all swingers or nudist.

Off and on over the past 20 years I have been a member of both lifestyles; however, not at the same time. What I mean by that is when I go to a nudist resort it is strictly nudist time. When I would go to a swinger party, it was just that, time to meet like minded people and if it goes further cool, if not I meet like minded people or do opened minded sexual stuff.

While there are certain lifestyle friendly (swinger) resorts, most nudist resorts are just that nudist. Sexual acts are strictly prohibited as they should be.

Nude with Friends

Nude with Friends

Have you ever noticed that it is easier to get a few (or more than a few) alcoholic drinks in you, and go skinny dipping in the ocean or in a pool or get naked in a hot tub with friends.

However, on the other hand when you are sober and someone says that you should join them at the beach or layout naked in the sun you say “oooo hell no I could never go naked”. Why is this?

Well, alcohol is the main factor to be honest. But when you have a few drinks to loosen up and strip down isn’t it interesting that no one is really gawking or staring at you? How fun is it when everyone is having a good time, laughing and jumping in the water without a care in the world, then you realize a short time later you are doing it naked…AND WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

Self-Confidence and Boldness

Self-Confidence and Boldness

One of the most frequent statements I hear when I tell people that I am a nudist is “I don’t have the confidence” or “I could never do that I am not that bold”.

To be honest this usually comes from women that are bigger in stature and I feel they aren’t confident because they don’t fit what society deems as the normal, and appropriate size for women to be. It stems from a deep routed self-conscious image they have of themselves that has been there for decades.

This also comes from people that have been told from a young age that being naked is bad and leads to sex, or when you were naked it was for sex. You have been told to “cover up” and this has stuck with you.
