Terry, here are my comments on your statements:
"Nudists let it all hang out, "Look at me!" is their motto.
Being the center of attention doesn't bother them as much as it encourages them to be all they can be...in full public view.
In fact, exhibitionism is at the core of this personality. The compulsion to display one's self is a mental disorder whether it is body parts or
mental misalignments of belief systems. Why is it a disorder? If you have to ask it is likely you aren't going to understand what bad behavior really is!
The real issue is BOUNDRIES.""
-->>they hang it all out?.....They do, but so what? you do that too. when you go in the shower and take a bath... Just like you did when you were married, you got naked in front of your wife... why? were you saying look at me? was that your motto?... I dont think so. It was because you felt comfortable enough to be naked in front of her. It was mutually agreed that you could do it in front of her and she in front of you... you did it in the a place where it was ok. maybe the bedroom maybe the bathroom... who knows... if someone entered in to that area could they LABEL you as exhibitionist? sure. But it was them who intruded in your private area...
When was the last time you saw a NUDIST walking nude on the streets? I havent.. If you have gone to a nudist place must likely like your bedroom when you were married, its a place where like minded people feel comfortable without cloths. Its an area that you agree to be with others and dont mind to be naked.
People dont go there saying look at me.... where did you get that? actually its not a field full of perfect young bodies. They just dont care to follow the culturaly imposed requirement of having to wear cloths. How can they be the center of attention if ALL of them are naked, then they ALL are the center of attention and therefore none of them are the center of attention.
Now you even go to the extent of calling it a "mental disorder".... wait a second where have I heard that before? ..
And you mentioned that the real reason is boundaries.... like I said I have not seen any NUDIST running naked... unless that is if you are reffering to people who have made PUBLIC DEMOSTRATIONS in the nude to make a point or to protests... which is for a different reason.
Anyway. No I am not a nudist. I dont care if someone is nude around me.. being publicly religious to me is a way for people to try to prove to themselves and maybe others that their faith is the right thing.... or not. When I used to pray it was out of being grateful cuz I thought the meals were given by God... now I know it was just a waste of time. I dont like when people just pray in public... but so what?
Sometimes before meals I pause and think of all the process involved. All the animals that had to die to keep my body alive. I connect and I thank them (although I know they dont hear) just as a reminder for me that I am lucky to have food in front of me.
just my thoughts
