I agree with you. Humans are a VERY SEXUAL species, and we don't become asexual by taking off our clothes or becoming nudists. The Nudist Association's mantra "nudity is non-sexual" has hurt organized nudism for decades. Of course nudists are sexual beings. Our species didn't multiply to almost 10 billion by being anything less than very sexual. Organized nudism needs to come to terms with the fundamental sexuality of our species. That doesn't mean fucking in public on beaches, but neither does it mean attacking anyone who flirts or invites a suitable partner. We all need to accept our humanity, and stop driving away normal humans.

I prefer the term PLATO•NIC when discussing the ( historical economical practical spiritual/religious health/medical/therapeutic artistic scientific social psychological emotional romantic intellectual environmental ) benes & aspects of Naturism & Nudism; “non-sexual” seems a bit too cheeky, employing “sex” as a bait/lead/teaser term to talk about everything aside from “ProCreation LoveMaking & Sensual Joy” ( “sex” is traditionally just a reductive cheap commercial pejorative for these essential & productive aspects of Human Existence ).
