To place things into a quick view I am a comparative novice to social nudism I view social nudism as a subculture to the prevalent culture of the areacountry to which the social nudists go

In this sub culture community of social nudists I'm really curious in observing the notion of personal privacy. We don't have the same concept of personal privacy as the fabrics.


For blondes on a beach , the entire concept of personal privacy has a modesty to immodesty ratio that heavily tends toward modesty - from our perspective. Our entire concept of personal privacy heavily leans toward immodesty - from their point of view. Theirs and our limits of personal privacy are in different locations. For us the nude is no longer a private item. naturist has limits, however. I'm interested in finding where those limits, both for myself and for the established community.
I remember being on my first visit of the neighborhood club, and getting the tour round the grounds. I was surprised at finding the showers were unisex and open-plan. Thinking back it all makes sense, but back then I was coming from a point of view of a just-coming-out closet nudist (essentially a fabric). Textiles see showering as somewhat toilet-orientated. I think most nudist don't. beach gallery are simply not comfortable about washing all their bits and bottoms with others. Those areas need a focused effort if it is definitely going to be done properly. I'm now comfortable giving the regions a quick once-over. Everyone's got touches and butts after all.
Dressing and undressing is inherently 'Textile'. Us doing it communally makes our undergarments less modesty items than only practical clothing things for heat. Almost all of use will only put on or take off at will, without the necessity of some solitude to do this. beach freedom - particularly womens' fashion - are moving toward being less modest. Over the years slacks have been worn lower to flaunt the underwear beneath. Tops are somewhat more transparent, showing bras and camisoles underneath. Skirts are made in such a way that the they are easily blown up by the wind. There's a slow trend to being less modest and more - in a way - nudist.
Our private privacy will extend to having unisex open-plan showers at the local pool. I am hoping I can see the years out until then.
