>>2861454I think you're somewhat biased, but it's understandable.
When the default is to wear clothes, nudists have to go to their own spaces where clothing is optional.
Those spaces then get hyped up as something exotic by the people who don't understand why someone would go there, which in turn attracts the voyeurs or exhibitionists and other people who sexualise public nudity. That can deter younger people from seeking out nudist spaces, leaving only those who have gone past caring if they're seen.
Sexualising nudity is antithetical to common nudism practice. You don't see much more than you see at a regular beach. That's not to say that my dick is dead and I don't notice if someone's proper fit, because I do, but I have the decency to keep it to myself. I notice fit girls on regular beaches, on hikes, at the gym, out on the town, or at the shop, and one time I had a confusing but nonetheless pleasant moment where I saw a very handsome man, but I don't go getting hard just for that.
Like in saunas, it's just people being naked in a situation where it's natural to be naked, so I just follow the old sauna adage: look, but don't stare.
