Does sleeping naked = naturalist?

[ashdaniel]

I have been sleeping naked for years now. At fist I got boner every night and I jerk it off. Now I feel weired to sleep with cloth on. After years of sleeping naked , it make be want to go to nudist beach and try out to be naturalist. Just wondering if these happen to you guys?

[Just JT]

Well I do sleep nude, and I have gotten bonners when sleeping nude, and I have been to nudist places. But being a nudist/naturist has nothing to do with sex really. Although it is pretty common for people, especially younger people who are not used to being nude with others to get a bonner, because we've been kinda conditioned to perceive nudity with a sex act.

Naturism is more about freedom, free body movement in the outdoors natural setting doing things you enjoy doing outdoor, with no judgement of your body for being unclothed or any other aspect of characteristic of your body.

So to answer your question, have I experienced that?
Yes I have, when I first started getting into nudity/naturism. But once I was accustomed to being nude with others that urge went away. It feels just like I'm with someone who has their clothes on. Actually, better, freeier

Yeah im the same as wayne, but im often nude around the house when my parents arnt home but id like to go to a beach or somthing. However i dont think we are natrualists yet.

I sleep naked but that has not caused me to become a naturist in the sense that I don't go wandering around in the nude with other people, at least not if it is not a setting in which that is normal like a locker room or showers.

There is no harm in pursuing that, if you want to, but obviously you have to make sure you do it among like-minded people and don't just start walking down the street naked.

BTW, be careful not to confuse the two terms. Naturist is another name for nudist whereas naturalist is someone interested natural history, i.e. animals, their behaviour and environment etc. (think discovery channel).

no some guys just like sleeping naked, doesn't make them a naturalist. I can see where it might cause some guys to want to try other things naked, but not all guys want to do a bunch of things nude just because they sleep nude

this is good answer. it's a lifestyle choice. i've been to naturist resorts with my family and am nude at home 99% of the time, even friends go nude at our house. everyone is accepted as they are.

during puberty you'll get erections being dressed. first time nude in a public setting can certain cause an erection so you just be discrete and lay on your belly or cover it until it goes away.

Actually naturist and nudist are similar words but do have different meanings. Many people so use them interchangeable though
Naturist is more of a social nudity situation usually done outside in a public type
Nudism is more a committed way or order of life, like the state yiur body is in all the time, at home, or where ever. Many naturist are not hike nudist for example

I have slept nude my entire life and I enjoy being nude in both public and private settings. I don't know if my enjoyment of being nude led me to sleep nude or if sleeping nude led to my enjoyment of being nude. Doesn't matter. Don't worry about it just enjoy!

Ive always been kind of a nudist at home and my first real outside experience was when I went to Puerto Rico for the summer with my mom and I got to be naked all the time outside, too. It was a great experience and I really enjoyed myself and I encourage others to try it at least once if they are curious about it. Its perfectly natural and nothing sexual about it, its about having a good time as nature intended.

That's so true, the first time for me in a public type of setting did feel awkward at first, but warmed up to it pretty quick and felt very comfortable and very secure about it. One thing that I like the most is that I feel more of an equal with other people regardless of who they are. Whether they are adults, parents, older kids, someone in say better physical shape etc. it's like there is nothing to judge you for. I think the clothes we wear sometimes adds to the judgement or perception of who we are and are treated that way when we are actually quite different people than how we are perceived to be

If that makes any sense.

I don't know what a naturalist is. Does that mean nudist? I like sleeping naked but mostly because it's summer, and I take a shower before going to bed and I don't feel like putting on underwear.

Yeah, what you say makes plenty of sense. We are kinda judged and gauged by the style and type of clothes we wear in society, but in the naturist way there is not judgement because everyone is equal across the board regardless of what they look like.

nudists are peps who just like it to beeing naked.


Naturists or naturalists are folks who prefer a more natural-oriented life. It isn't just about wandering around naked through nature, that's only a small part of their philosophy. Naturalists won't have peircings or tattoo's or die their hair or eat foods with chemicals and such. Also they don't wear synthetic clothes etc... so it's a full lifestyle - and not just a off clothing thing.

Sleeping naked is nudism but not naturalism... i think

[Biomicro]

Because of my parent and my sibiling are at home so i not often naked just some time i did naked at home !

[pjones]

sleeping naked is just sleeping naked.
nudist or naturist are interchangeable and refers to a nude lifestyle, doing your normal everyday activities without clothing. a naturalist wears clothes i believe

[Harrier]

Like others have said, sleeping naked is just that. It may be what you need to start to get free with your body to someday be a closeted nudist (in your home) or be a full on nudist, but only time will tell. I did go to a clothing optional hot springs about a year after starting to sleep nude ... idk if there was a correlation or not.
