No effort November update:

With nearly 3600 sketchy lurkers and less than 30 or 40 real friends that routinely step up to the plate to display photos of their own style of nude living, I felt it was time to reorganize and regroup my portfolio. If it wasn't bad enough that so many folks are ashamed of their bodies to share photos on a photo sharing web site, it irks me that most of their profiles don't contain even one sentence of a hello, greeting, likes, dislikes, nothing, nada, zip. The folks that favorite every last one of my pictures are particularly vexing. Every picture of mine is a favorite? What's the point of favoring? Flickr has no way to properly vet free accounts and I am sure it is possible to have many of them, so blocking the lurkers has no real effect.

Nude living is comfortable, fun, and a refreshingly honest way to live. It is awesome to be around other folks that agree. I just wish there were more of you.

I have been an unashamed and enthusiastic nudist my entire life. We enjoy looking at people doing ordinary things while naked and I enjoy being seen naked in return. Why is this? Being nude generates dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps control the reward and pleasure center of the brain. Once you get past body shame, a new and beautiful world opens up where you feel a wonderful kinship with your fellow nudist. A former girlfriend would admonish me, "Put some clothes on. Nobody wants to see that ugly thing". Such a shame to dismiss a wonderful and beautiful part of God's plan so easily. Set yourself free as I did several years ago. Enjoy your uniqueness. This is what sets us apart from the animals.

Nudist like us tend to congregate on line because we understand each other’s need to be free of clothing when not absolutely necessary. That’s the bond we share. When you get so much scorn and ridicule from the textile world about nudism, it is refreshing to be among those who understand not only the comfort and freedom of living nude, but we understand the principles and unofficial rules to be nude by.

“Nature is naked, and I am also. Sweet, sane, still nakedness in nature! Ah if poor, sick, prurient humanity might really know you once more! Is not nakedness then indecent? No, not inherently. It is your thought, your sophistication, your fear, your respectability, that is indecent. There come moods when these clothes of ours are not only too irksome to wear, but are themselves indecent. Perhaps indeed he or she to whom the free exhilarating ecstasy of nakedness in nature has never been eligible (and how many thousands there are!) has not really known what purity is—nor what faith or art or health really is.” —Walt Whitman
