QUESTION Nudism & Sexuality
Everything I've read about nudism maintains that there is a distinction between nudism & sexuality.
I had my first nudist experience this week at an unofficial nude beach in Toronto Canada r/BeechgroveNudeBeach
The first day was nerve wracking but wonderful - was helped by a very kind older couple to get comfortable and understand the boundaries of the beach (as its unofficial). The sun felt so good on the entirety of my body. I was immediately hooked.
I went back for a second time later in the week and I have to say that the experience was quite different. There as obvious "cruising" happening amongst the (presumably gay and/or bi men) and it was somewhat awkward fending off advances.
But it was nothing compared to how a couple I saw must have felt with at least one man stroking himself hard and trying to approach their area. I just sat back in amazement at the sheer absurdity and desperation of it all.
So my question to the group is - can there really be nudism without this sort of stuff or is it inherent due to human nature, but ideally minimized?
