It IS me Larry, I'm just moving with the times.
I knew it was you, Dave, I was just kidding. You've always been a stickler about the definitions, and suddenly it seems of less concern, or worse, wanting to quickly terminate the use of the 'secret naturist' expression. Unless and until I get MUCH bolder, I will ALWAYS be a Secret Naturist, even while I'm Free Ranging. Open free range naturism is more an objective than a beginning. Who would immediately be a free range naturist from being a textile? FIRST, we're going to be secret and we're going to develop some craft as we experiment with our new-found NEED to be naked outdoors, where ever we are and whenever we begin. We have to grow through that beginning before we ever can feel comfortable trudging across the moors boldly and conspicuously NAKED in plain daylight as a free range naturist. For some of us, that's quite a long path of development over quite a long period of time. I think secret naturism is necessary, especially if we're going to be of any help for a newbie 'naturist' who is struggling with responding to their new found NEED. We are older, and now more experienced in the CRAFT to the degree it's almost second nature. But, we're still explaining it to our spouses as we rationalize our actions ... "It's OK, they can't see anything because of" thus and so ... the CRAFT. For the benefit of potential newbies, we should discuss the craft more frequently, and/or identify a CRAFT section for reference. Anyway, I'm good with Free Range, and I'm good with Secret, both, but, Secret Naturism will NEVER be dead to me.
Have fun, naked!
