N8RST: Too bad the Spokesman didn’t do their own reporting. This was a North
American wide event with 
hundreds of locations and thousands
participating including a local one in Worley ID at Sun Meadows. Which
is one of the two local nudist camps in our area, Kaniksu Ranch is the
other one. It was a great time. As to all the negative comments this is a part of what nudism
teaches the idea of body acceptance. No ones perfect in fact most of us
have some scars or carry a few extra pounds but in a nudist setting no
one judges you for it.
Question: Do you accept the argument by nudists that nudism teaches the idea of body acceptance?

I tried that with a date once, via a hole in the bottom of my popcorn bowl while at the movies.
She didn’t appreciate my attempt at body acceptance.

That’s an amusing anecdote, Gary, which I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt for making up, but the fact that you would (a) think of it, and (b) post it as funny in this forum are pretty much as creepy as if it really happened.
I’m just sayin’.
When I attended the University of Idaho, in addition to taking drawing and painting classes myself, I did some work as a model for life drawing classes. Getting over the shock of posing unclothed was not that big a deal, a moment of thinking “wow, am I really going to do this?” and then doing it.
I have no doubt that the titillation of non-nudists talking about nudists far exceeds the nudism experience.

No, it’s not amusing - but it is unnaturally illuminating.
