    Hello,

    I think of naturism and being naked on the beach as completely normal and not a bit pervy or disgusting. I have never met anyone who will out and out say being naked in an appropriate setting such as a secluded beach or designated area is wrong so why is it illegal?

    Is there anyone out there against it?

    In theory, naturism is great, but in practice most people wait until they turn from good looking young people with great physiques into fat, ugly men with tiny cocks & wrinkly old women with saggy tits before they decide that naturism is a good idea.

    Nope, love it!
    But not in Ireland (weather) and also because the country is not ready for it, people get arrested when they kiss in the streets :p

    For: I don't really give a **** about people getting their kit off in public. Not everywhere though; give them designated areas, I don't want to look at old men wearing nothing save for a pair of socks and sandals.

    Against: "Naturism" is a retarded euphemism as it has absolutely nothing to do with nature.

    and only if they segragate the ugly people from the attractive ones

    we can use age guidelines 40+*. and the rest of us :cool:

    *as we all know age is independant of good looks alot of the time, so there will be exceptions, people under 40 on the 40+ beach and vice versa

    Whereas a pair of patterened shorts provide massive thermal protection...?

    Seriously, I've always wondered why some people feel so threatened about nudity. Either seeing it or being seen.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I really don't think it is illegal in Ireland OP. Are you sure it is?

    I think being naked in the great outdoors is only illegal if you're doing something lewd, offensive, threatening, etc.

    Maybe someone with knowledge of the law can enlighten us.

    Swam, sunbathed in the nip in Croatia previously - seemed to be the done thing in the particular spot we were. They had the weather for it too. Feels slightly akward for about 5 seconds then tis grand.

    On the flip side (and this isn't naturism, just nakedness in public) - was walking with a friend of mine along a river footpath in England on a lovely summer's afternoon and i turn a corner to see a couple doing it doggy style on a picnic blanket. He skinny and long-haired, she a much larger lady. They saw me and awkwardly stopped/tried to cover up. I walked on like I hadn't noticed. Then had to convince my friend they were actually doing it (as she was a second or two behind me). Thought it was hilarious is one way but this was a busy, sunday afternoon - I could easily have been a 7 year old child coming round the corner. FFS.

    Naturism - fine
    Discreet outdoor nookie - fine
    Doing it doggie-style in a very public place - NO. Stop it!

    The point wasn't that the shorts would keep you warm, it was that one's penis would tend to be at about a third its normal size in typical Irish weather, and thus best left covered.
    Seriously, I've always wondered why some people feel so threatened about nudity. Either seeing it or being seen.
    I'm sure it's an inherent sense of shame shared by the Irish; a vestige of our repressive Catholic past. That's the answer you want, isn't it?

    Ireland is the only country in Europe that doesn't have a legally designated naturist beach. Therefore, naturism in public is not legal but in typical Irish style it is toilerated. The law needs to change in this respect.

    The excuse of the weather is always trotted out and it doesn't hold when you consider that Canada, Russia, Finland, Sweden and Denmark all have naturist beaches and are located further north than Ireland.

    Live and let live.

    1 - Dunno. I've never measured it. Would explain why the women like foreigners though!! :D

    2 - Not really. I mean, do people still feel a sense of shame? If not then what is it?

    And the UK are just as prudish and they dont have a repressive Catholic past.

    When did nudest become naturist? I don't see how the word nature can be used to mean flapping your tackle in peoples faces.

    I have to say that in Ireland (yes, I generalize), it seems to take this length of time for people to loosen up (forgive the pun), grow a pair (forgive the pun) and try things they probably always wanted to.

    I am all for naturism and practice it as often as possible, here in Ireland and abroad. There is nothing more natural and sensual than to be without clothing and enjoying the great outdoors. In the future, I plan to visit a naturist resort either in France or Spain where I can experience the naturist lifestyle, which will allow me to be naked 24/7.

    I wouldn't feel threatened, just self conscious, nothing more. Doesn't mean I'm wrong, nor that nudists are wrong.

    Fair enough, but others do! Would you go naked on a beach if no one else was around?
