Do you happen to know if nudists today still suffer from any social judgments, stigmas or prejudice?

I am only naked when I shower and change clothes of course. There was one time I was forced to be naked around others when I went to jail for a DUI. They made me shower next to other women completely nude. Since you are so used to being naked in front of others, where is your sense of privacy? Do you still shower in front of or with each other? Do the women also shower with men?

Why does it matter whether or not you can be naked. I just don’t see the big deal.

I have been involved in nudist activities for several years now and have seen so many battles go on not just with groups fighting for freedom amongst the public but also fighting for territory within the nudist community. For example: Most people are aware of the conflicts between AANR and TNS who share some (not all) like-minded objectives. The same goes for younger groups such as Young Naturists America, Vita Nuda, Florida Young Naturists and Next Gen. Do you think there are too many politics surrounding the nudist community that prevent it from growing any further as a whole?

Nudism by definition means “non-sexual nudity” even while it is diversified as a whole to every day living. Does this definition apply to sexual acts done so in the privacy of ones own home? How then does a nudist feel to groups collaborating both nudism and swinging?
