Everyday Occurances

Beautiful day, workers about and no naturism. Cooped up in clothing. I get dirty and icky.

Workers leave around 11am. They are down the drive and I'm stripping.

It feels wonderful. Same work, just naked. Air feels good, I'm squatting, pounding excess stucco and scooping up chips. I notice that I can smell me. This guy needs a cleaning!

I continue to work. Air feels good on a body. Dust feels good, I'm getting a little dirty all over. I remember my body bouquet, but it is gone. Air bath, dry, skin breathing, no longer trapping in the sweat, bacteria, it all evaporates. The body is wholly more efficient, naturally.

You didn't fancy seeing if the stucco workers were happy with you naked, Jbee?  That would have been a first I think!


Glad you are enjoying retirement AZ_Nudist.  It's a gas!

Working with acidic cement lime is tedious nude. I wore long pants. They hustle and I had to in turn, not able to be more casual and careful and no, they just wouldn't understand. We were working on the weird neighbors side of the house AND it has been cold in the mornings until wonderful blessed us with the sun, which made me want to take a nude walk.

The one seemed to have the impression that something is up, by comments he made, but no he is from another culture and it wasn't practical.

When I'm doing my own work in my new walled backyard, I'll do some nude stucco. When we stuccoed the sweat, most of us worked nude.

its funny how things slot into place
bright sunshine today after yesterdays continual rain, popped to street to repair a greenhouse, finished arround 11,30 , toss up between a walk on the poldens or a visit to clarks village to look for a new coat. shopping anytime is not my idea of fun , the week before xmasit should be banned.   the coat won,   parked up in the carpark opposite the swimming pool... free parking till xmas,   on autoilot i started up the highstreet instead of straight accross the road into clarks village,
detoured into the first charity shop ,came out with 2 novels and a coat ,back to the car,been parked 15 mins max..yeah ... time for walkies in the woods.
was nude for about an hour ,saw the rear view of a dog walker in the distance on two occasions but met nobody.
weather forecast says its about 10 degrees ,pleasant amongst the trees but a tad chilly if loitering where theres a breeze.
.

probably be my last nude walk this year

My Private Place for Naturism #26. We had a sweat and took a walk with friends out onto the desert sunset and its wondrous nature...naked.

I love this time of year, especially after a wet winter. The temps feel perfect, evenings not too cool. The desert is in a mass of bloom. Some call it the yellow time of year.

Each day, I walk out into the desert and never cease to be amazed but the beauty and abundance. I sit on the porch and gaze until my mind goes blank. Then a light breeze brings me back into my body. Pastels and turquoise skies.

The berries are ripe.  I always hear the words 'have some of my purple berries, I've been eating for six or seven weeks now, haven't got sick once.  Probably keep us both alive.'  (CSN&Y - Wooden Ships)
No better way to pick them than early or late in the day, as naturally as they are. The thorns can be bothersome, but I find it easier without any cloth to get tangled in the briars, sucking my flesh into their eager fangs.
Spring brings abundance, if you are open to it.

Yup, a perspective home buyer came by today. He got his collar caught by a catclaw acacia and I had to get him loose. Gotta love this desert. I never have such problems. Sometimes one will get me, but what's a little blood between friends? At least I don't get totally stuck and helpless.

I needed t go over to discuss something with my textile silly neighbors to the south. I put on a shirt and pants and walked down the of driveway. I was met out front of the house by a daughter. She wasn't a little girl anymore, kind of cocky, maybe 13 to 16 years old. She said that her mom was asleep.

She was wearing a very small back bikini. Three triangles and a whale tail thong in the back. They are concerned about our simply nude bodies messing with their children's brains. Their child wears an outfit that is obviously created to gather attraction and draw attention to a body. A sexual thing. She is growing up, changing/developing. She was acting a bit self-conscious.

The lack of rational mental capacity that textiles stand decisions on, sometimes astounds me. It is okay if you cover breasts and genitals with a thin opaque cover that doesn't hide, but accentuates the gender difference. It is okay to openly advertise sex in dress, blaringly. It is not okay to be simply nude and natural with no intention to excite other people, wearing no sexy costume.

Nudists have de-emphasized sex for so long, I suspect that may be the reason there are (supposedly) fewer nudist that during the golden days of nudism, whenever that was. However, I agree that a sixteen-year old girl looses all her attractiveness when she is nude.

Who are these "textiles" you refer to so arrogantly and sanctimoniously. If you were trying to convince people to 'try' nudism, you might refrain from using cute names like that. Imagine what they might be calling you--or, well, us.

[jbeegoode]

I'll use the term among nudists, like here, which understand. Textile people are usually addicted and habituated to clothing. There is a term for those nude, as if nudes are odd. Why, if nudity is the normal attire in good weather, do we not call a clothing obsessed person, a weird human being, a textile. Many are arrogant in that and dismissive of naturism and naturists.

I don't think that I am being arrogant and sanctimonious. I think that I'm just calling a spade a spade. Resentment, maybe. "Textile" shouldn't be offensive.

I don't advocate throwing people in jail for wearing clothing, but I could be jailed for being natural.

Paging Dr Freud!

I don't actually think "textile" is an abusive term. It just refers to a person who believes everyone should wear clothes in public, and I think it's an acknowledgement that naturism isn't a belief that stands in contrast to "normal" people--rather there are two outlooks on the presentation of the body, and we need to persuade the other side, the textiles, that we aren't trying to do anything harmful. In fact, we're hoping nudity will be considered part of the "normal" set of human behavior, every bit as much as the textile outlook is treated now.

I think it's true that skimpy clothing has the effect of fetishizing the body parts which are covered. With modest clothing, it's possible to say "the body is covered". But when almost the whole body can be seen, your attention is drawn directly to what's hidden. But we can't deny that it's what we're used to seeing. So girls in tiny bikinis are an "Everyday Occurance" if you aren't too fussy over spelling, and yet at the same time, if we think about it, there's quite an exhibitionistic display there. But is it really exhibitionism if you're seeing it all the time?

Damn, it's tough being a philosopher. You never get a moment's peace.

That's just silly.   Probably common nudist dogma though.

I think that "attractiveness" needs a clear definition here. Everyone should look more attractive nude because it isn't based on an commercialized idealized vision of what what attracts should. If one uses the cultural commercial definition then anyone would need clothing to cover the flaws and titillate.

I used to work in a school district and was placed with teenage girls at times. They would dress for success with boys, or anyone who might notice them. I would get pulled in, but when they opened their mouths, they suddenly became children again. It occupied my energy to attempt to not take notice and distract from task, when these kids were doing everything to get noticed.

Thank you John P. for being succinct.

Ideally, we all would not make issue of being dressed or not. I see textile obsession everywhere and feel its oppressive side. I might distinguish between "textile" and "textile obsessed." "Textile Mandatory" kinda gets in ma craw.

I notice that more and more our culture is getting set on three triangles for covering. The width of the area that one might place a belt seems to determine if one is modest in their swimsuit. Is it a string, a thin belt or a wide belt? Why would the area where a belt might be determines modesty is beyond me. Jus' don't make sense, because that area has never been particularly scandalous to see. We had hip huggers in the 60's.

Naked butt or no imagination needed butt is the new barrier that is getting crossed. See a butt, everybody's got one, so what. From leggings to thongs, to most any pair of pants, butts are not a modesty thing anymore for all ages. But don't let your skirt fly up in the wind...it jus' don't make sense.

"Occurances" !!! I din't notice the type-o!.
