Nude is to be without clothes, King, and Naked is to be nude and contemplating mischief.
;)
That's what I'd always heard, at any rate. LOL
So, Req, that does mean you're PRO nakey and nudey? hehe!
if I had no roomates i'd be naked most of the time...
naked is as naked does
Pro nakey/nudey, anti clothing, except for preserving one's self against the elements.
However, in our society, the LAW happens to be one of the elements, too. =/
I -sleep- in the nude, lol. I'm self concious most of the time, so if people are around, I have all my clothes on. ^_^
i dont not like the idea of seeing someones naked body that i dont know...but if i to see someones i know {like and boyfriend} then i would be fine with it
As usual, depends on circumstance.
Im not saying that I dont like nakedness... but a streaker is naked, and when they go running accross a football pitch, you are being forced to see it.
Nudity can also be protrayed in many different contexts, from the beauty of the human body, or simply for shock value... and all those awkward spaces in between that the consory board dont know what to do with.
we were born naked, we came into the world that way. It's so much more comfortable, I'm all for nekedness! (and yes i spelled it wrong on purpose)
There's nothing wrong with being natural ;)
Bu then of course there are idiots in this world who don't see nudity as the natural human body, they see it as naked flesh and can't control themselves...It's probably all for the better that we wear clothes.
regular people...walking around naked...i'd be cool with..as long as (as always) they maintain proper personal distance. i dont like people wearing pants that show their asscracks...but that's more of an issue of taste. in general...real life nudity is fine...because real life people aren't usually that close to me.
now...people naked in pictures and movies...sometimes i get a little pissy about...because more often than not, personal space is not maintained.
distant nudity...is fine with me. if it's a nice long shot, everyone can be naked.
i do NOT like naked close-ups. it feels very intrusive. (i dont know these people..why i am in bed with them while they're naked?) i also dont like weird camera angles of naked people...i dont like scenes that are shot as though i'm kneeling in front of a naked person or getting right up in their cleavage/ass or panning slowly @ close up over them...it just makes me feel squeamish...as though more of an introduction is required before this is OK.
Lets face it there are just somethings better covered up. This is what cruise ships and nudist beaches are for, to indulge in fantasy. Clothes give those self conscious, disabled, and obese a comfort in knowing that their every crevice is not to be plored by the naked eye. I know I would like to remain clothed and be "unwrapped" when the time is to be naked. Nudity should be for intimacy, there is just somthing about naked skin that is erotic and belongs to a partner to enjoy.
OK......My answer is simple......
Some people should be allowed to be naked......
Others should not. And a few should have clothes permanantly attached to them.
It depends on the body type.....
Allow me to give an example......
In Star Wars: Return of the Jedi......
The scene where Leia is laying down in front of Jabba the Hutt.......
Jabba should be the one wearing clothes.....
Leia should have been Naked!
Another example........
Who would you rather see naked?
Estelle Warren or Estelle Getty?
Tom Cruise or Tom Arnold?
Nuff said.
;)
This reminds me of my nightmares of me walking naked at school or in the street!
What some have said is exactly the attitude that I would have expected many to come up with ... in many ways I agree .. but I alos counter with this ... who is anyone to say just who it is that should remain covered and who should be allowed to be un-covered .... the way you put it Hawk .. while it being said is the majority of what most would say ... there are those out there that actually find (speaking politely) Bigger or more fleshly people more accepting and inviting and would much more prefer to see those persons un-covered then people of a much smaller nature ...
no clothes that is the only way to be if someone don't want to see it we have these handie dandie thing called eyelides just close them and the scary naked guy gose bye bye
Dami...I was not discriminating against large people......
I was saying that it depends on the body.....
Allow me to tell a story......
I was once at a Strip club (big surprise there), and one of the dancers was surgically inhanced to a scary degree......
Her body was so "processed", it was obvious (from a mile away). She looked bad, and no amount of alcohol could help hide it.
If anyone needed clothes...it was her.
And for the record....I include myself in the "clothing required" list. I'm not a preatty sight naked.
Hawk that was not a dig at you ... I was just merely stating that in the way in which you made your post was to a degree what many think and say ... I was merely using your post as the example ... i will be one of the first myself to say I'd be one of the "Under-wraps" department ... I think too that for many it is also how their own self esteem is ...
i dont have any problem w/ being naked or seeing others naked....ive seen too many naked people for it to even phase me lol
I'm a dancer, that's what I do to make a living. I have no problem showing my body off.
I don't mind seeing naked people, but I wouldn't show my body in public, no way!
One way or the other it dose'nt matter to me. I believe people should have the right to express themselves freely. And if being nude or naked helps them do this then so be it. Just don't come around rubbing up against me. Or you will die a slow painfull death.
naked.... we were born that way. Clothes are just a pain any how... lol
dont agree here that nudity should be a priviledge for those deemed attractive.
reasons are...obvious.
its hard to choose but i really perfer both i am always naked and nude so yeah
I love being naked! If I could, I would go around in public naked. It feels great. I like to be naked around those that I know well. I can't be naked in my own home tho, because I don't know my step dad and he doesnt deserve to see me naked! YAY NUDE!
~morgana~
Naked, I love it......took me a long time to wear clothes. Everyone should have the choice to wear or not wear........all bodies are beautiful in their own way. Trust me I've been to nudest colonies and have seen it all.........as I always say to each their own
To be nude and naked are both to be without clothes.
How ever one is to be proud enough to show it off the other is to comfortable enough to admit it to ones self.
I'm all for it... but there are some people who should show restraint... we all know who they might be... walking sasquache and the like
Nudity is all well and good I have no problems with been nude or seeing nudity.... i have however spent way to much time and effort (not to mention cash) on my wardrob to be naked all the time :P
I like taking nudie shots by my cam. I find it thrilling.
I spend a lot of the time naked (or nearly), and I find it acceptable when not in large group situations. I have a group of friends (drama students) who have seen me change and walk around naked, and it no longer shocks them. In fact, we don't have air conditioning, so when I've been home all this summer, I don't wear anything. Besides, saves on doing the laundry. I think nudity is great as long as your around people who you can feel comfortable with.
Sure for some people it may be that nudity is just a way of life, but for those of us who are.... not pleasant nude..... I think we tend to like our clothes on, sometimes off when by ourselves maybe.....
people being nude doesnt bother me, but i personaly would rather have clothes on, except for around the house then i dont really care
I dont prefer to be nude infront of people, but if others want to do that, then I have no reason to stop them...
He he he don't mind seeing others naked but myself OH HELL NO!!!!!if i'm by myself i'm good but anyone comes in and it's a big ass t-shirt for me.
hey cmon if ur gonna be naked or nude plz be aware of ur surroundings cuz i dont want it being stuck in a door or fried while cooking hahahhahaha
i am for it i mean if it was not for the law i would neve wear close ........... i mean i hardly whear close as it is
Ihave no probs with nudity, iam an artist so it is a part of my life, so i am used to it, with my own body i have no qualms showing it
if you wanna see my ass, just holla! lol
sorry my online life is far more racey than my real life. *shrugs*
cuz of the heat in my apt and no A/C im practily in the nude, giggles and i was an exotic dancer for about 8 yrs (not now) but i beleive that the body is a beautiful even if is not so beauitful.
>:D
I feel that naked is the best way to be. After all it is how we were all meant to be. I don't think people should be ashamed of the way that they look. Everyone is beautiful in their own special way. Flaws and all
Ok, I'm one of those people have a few drinks and take my top off. A few more and I end up skinny dipping in the nieghbours pool. Which is odd because I am kinda self concious, usually. But then I'm an open person. Being naked is how we're born, and when we die, our clothes will rot/burn before our flesh, so in a sense, we are naked when we die too.
wow! good reply you guys..and let's NOT make the body size an issue, please..it has nothing to do with the naked and nude stuff..
interesting question. naked = when u are without clothes and just u or your partenet.... but nude is when u want to be seen by another people... like a model or something
so being naked reveals on true self... and being nude is one that hides behind flesh and hair... this is intresting ? @_@? i think i hear my brain working!... hmmm i think we are too far into clothing our selves to just walk around nude but its really hard to find one who is truly naked themselves... this is were (i guess you can call them) fronts, personality masks, come in ya know? ... i like this thread it make me thinky ^_^
i think the body is not something to be ashamed of, so go naked.
TAKE OFF CLOTHES AND STREAK THRU THE RAVE.
Well I like to be naked what means that if someone sees me Im nude.
But I prefer to stay just naked....with my boy.
=)
I am naked as often as possible. It is our most comfy and also direct way of expressing ones self. We came in this world nude... and I try to keep it that way at my house... (unless my kids are up and roaming around... )
i love being in my birthday suit hehe i love seeing others in thiers
i think the body is a beautiful thing, no matter what size, shape, color, et cetera.
i like drawing naked bodies.... i think the curves a womans body are lovely, aand a mans body, the strong ones, thier muscles are intricute and beautiful... i like bulging veins i like hard nipples and celluilite
i'm wierd wOOt
I agree with Punky up there ^^^
Every one is beautiful, no matter size or shape...
All the naked people....
where do they all come from....?
*pokes Kabal* Why would any one stop you? with all the nakie lovers here?
