About Me/Us As a Christian (non-evangelical), I believe that since we are made in God's image, that image is beautiful, and should not bring shame since there is nothing wrong with the way He made us.

I don't make nudity the nucleus of my life, therefore I hesitate to call myself a nudist. I don't contort my schedule around to be nude for as long as possible. Like most, my livelihood, family, and hobbies are in the textile world, so I also have my feet in both worlds if you will.

With that being said, nudity is still an important part of my life, and I find it the best way to live, relax, and be more centered. Certainly I wish the rest of the world felt the same way, as much of it once did.

Regarding sexuality and nudism, I've found that most nudists seem to fall along the opposites of a pendulum swing, with the prudishly asexual at one end, and swingers at the other; both seeming to overreact because of each other. It seems like nudism's PR dept, in it's attempt to snatch legitimacy from the jaws of social stigma, managed to throw out the baby with the bathwater, to the point that ordinary displays of affection otherwise considered acceptable in the greater textile world, become abruptly verboten in a nudist context. You'll find me between the two, acknowledging that there is a fun, flirtatious, sensual side of nudism to be enjoyed, while also adhering to the time-tested notions of a deeper emotional/spiritual connection inherent in sexuality.. I’ve found that sexuality in naturism is deeper, more natural and more sustainable than the supercharged variety produced by skimpy swimwear, advertising, and the fashion & beauty industry in general, which portrays it as only an itch to be scratched.

The following quote from Emile Armand in "Revolutionary Nudism" was indispensable in developing my thoughts on this:
"The critics of nudism moralists or conservative hygienists of the State or Church suppose that the sight of nudity, or the regular association of nudists of both sexes, exalts ****** desire. This is not always the case. However, contrary to most gymnist theses for which opportunism or fear of persecution is the beginning of wisdom we do not deny it either. But we maintain that the ****** exaltation engendered by nudist projects is pure, natural, and instinctive. It cannot be compared with the artificial excitement of the half-naked, the gallant in revealing clothes, and all the artifices of make-up relied on in the dressed, half-dressed, or barely dressed milieu in which we currently operate."
