Morning Steve. Good read as always. I must admit though on this occasion, part way though, I was unsure wether you were advocating more or less openness. By the end I was sure it was more but taking baby steps.

Interestingly only this morning I was wondering about our naturist behaviors. As you know I go to many beaches and will use them as nature intended. However if I go to say peka peka a known naturist beach why is it most people hide away by the dunes. It's as if as naturists we are doing something we feel is wrong. It seems to me it's reinforcing the meerkat mentality.

I am openly naturist, my neighbours and friends all know I am. On the beach I sit in the open, play with the grandkids, walk the beach, play ball or whatever. Because that's what you do on a beach. I see no reason to hide what I consider perfectly acceptable

Thanks Grahame. Yes, I wavered on this one, between being more out there and being cautiously reserved. I agree we need to be more open and willing about nudity in public, but I also don't want there to be a backlash from going too far.

With regard to hiding in the dunes, perhaps it could be another behaviour that is being hidden rather than the nudity
