Yeah, I always have a problem with all the bullshit. "They", the psychological and social experts,tell us our primary drive is survival and then comes procreation-sex-the other gender-preferably naked.I enjoy the feel of being naked as I am now rather than clothed. I do not enjoy it as much in a purely male environment. I like to look at women.Purism is purely intellectual and unreal.
: "True" or "pure" naturists are bizarre. I have always felt this. Why do they get naked? Because clothes are just too uncomfortable and a nuisance? Come on. I do not believe their claim that "there is nothing sexual about it." They do it to see others naked and to be seen naked. But then they don't want you to stare and they profess not to stare at others. I have been to my share of nude beaches and I have been to indoor, off-season "pure," "family" nudist get-togethers and I have seen people staring and gawking PLENTY. (The women do it more subtly.)
: "I'm going to go nude because it's natural, and I don't like 'the pretense and bother of clothing' [as one "pure" naturist put it] but don't look at me because staring is not natural. In fact my nakedness is so natural that it is absolutely boring and uninteresting and you therefore should have no reason to look at me. But then why am I naked if there is no difference between being clothed and being totally nude? It's because I am not pretentious --- even though I myself am pretending that there's nothing to look at."
: This is bizarre and contradictory, and I think that Meth Hed touches on this kind of contradictoriness in a way that's exaggerated to be sure, but which has a sufficient grain of truth to be funny.
