What is all this talk about shame, no one is ashamed of their naturist
interest, what most do fear is ridicule, in much the same way that
train spotters are afraid to tell anyone of their interest in case they
face ridicule. When naturism is accepted as a normal thing to do, and
the media stop the purile nudge, nudge, wink, wink reporting, then the
ridicule should stop, and we can carry on doing what we enjoy most.

I beg to differ Pete. An awful lot of naturists *are* ashamed of what they do, and
while some might fear ridicule, it's only because they do not have much in the way of
conviction to defend themselves. Every now and then, some smarty pants tries to have a
dig at me being a naturist. What I tend to do is point out that the only reason that
they like to wear clothes when there really is no reason to is because they have some
deeply ingrained hang-ups over nudity. If they persist, I am inclined to point out
that it is people who have such hang-ups who need to keep them in-check, otherwise
they could quite easily be a threat to others, especially children. I also point out
that what they say about me being a naturist also applies equally to my wife and kids.
They usually shut-up.
