What happens then to the erections that most people get in the normal
course of being a textile? They disappear because you're a nudist?

I don't worry about nudists. I worry about female TEACHERS!

I worry about female teachers too. No, actually I think about female
teachers. And get erections.

But then, I'm a pervert like you, Terry. :0

It's only a failure if you don't get out and enjoy it while you can.

I don't like it, because it depends on the meaning of "normal."
Normal just means what most people do, which makes it dependent on
time, place, society, etc.

That is exactly the point. Once it becomes normal, it ceases to be nudism. Or
would you suggest that having a shower, a bath, or sex nude is nudism?

If the majority were nude, as for example
at a nudist city such as the Quartier Naturiste at Cap d'Agde, your
tag line says they wouldn't be practicing nudism.

To paraphrase from your quote from Wiki, "'Normal' is behavior that conforms to
the predominant behavior in a society." As far as i know, Cap d'Agde's Quartier
Naturiste is not a society of its own, but embedded within Cap d'Agde itself,
& ultimately, within French society.

How about, "Nudism is being nude while doing things that non-nudists
do only while clothed."

That introduces the term non-nudist & by extention the term nudist, which would
require definitions of the terms, which would open a whole new can of worms. I
prefer to leave that term out of it & choose something everyone can intuitively
understand. (Even if they don't agree.)

which reduces to

"Nudism is doing, while nude, what non-nudists do
only while clothed."

I like that reduction & i'll use an analog in my definition. Thanks.

"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"In behavior, normal refers to a lack of significant deviation from
the average. The phrase "not normal" is often applied in a negative
sense (asserting that someone or some situation is improper, sick,
etc.) Abnormality varies greatly in how pleasant or unpleasant this is
for other people.

"The Oxford English Dictionary defines "normal" as 'conforming to a
standard'. Another possible definition is that "a normal" is someone
who conforms to the predominant behavior in a society. This can be for
any number of reasons such as simple imitative behavior, deliberate or
inconsistent acceptance of society's standards, fear of humiliation or
rejection etc.

"The French sociologist Émile Durkheim indicated in his Rules of the
Sociological Method that the most common behavior in a society is
considered normal. People who do not go along are violating social
norms and will invite a sanction, which may be positive or negative,
from others in the society."

Nudism is doing while nude what is not normally done nude.

Now that is interesting, are you saying that the roots of the naturist
community came from the Peace, Love, Dope Generation (of which I am a
part)?

It didn't start there. It's much older than that. But the flower children
were much more in tune with nudity that the kids of today. Just watch the
Woodstock Anniversary Blu-Ray and you'll see what I mean.

Watch it, I be there! Does this backslide of nudist popularity = its
failure?

What Terry fails to mention, perhaps because she also fails to realize, is that
the graying is limited to organized naturism. Disorganised naturism & nudism
flourish as never before. All that is mostly because the younger generation of
nudists don't join the old naturist organisations.
