Dave Nicholson's Nude Life

Nudity is our natural state. It has been as far back as recorded history considered not polite to do in public. However, the sexualization of nudity seems to be a more recent trend. Yes there has always been those who find it sexually stimulating to see naked people, but until modern times, this was quite rare. Pornography is also very old, the oldest known pornographic images where wood cut prints that where sold in pubs on the down low. In the 1970's people started to look at porn more and it got a hold of the western culture. By the 1980's with the spread of video cassette players, porn became very prolific. At this time the trend of allowing children to swim nude at lakes and at the YMCA became against the will of the people and was stopped for the most part. With a heightened sexualization of the nude form came a sense of public outrage against it and nudism became sexualized in the eyes of a great number of people. There is to this day a good number or people in the weste...

Been seeing a lot of people I followed on Twitter as nudists, are actually exabitionists. I went back a way on their time line and saw only the obligatory nude photos, so thought them to be safe. After a while I started to enjoy their content as it's not all just nude photos. Then all the sudden on 4 or 5 of them, here it is, a hardon, or worse yet actual sex video clip. Sigh. I'm not going to judge people on being sex positive in their content however, I just don't enjoy that sort of thing and it's full on true that some won't follow me because I follow them. I get it, you don't want to be linked to "porn". But my thing is, I enjoy 98% of their content and I don't want to get rid of them in my feed over this, so I kept them. To be clear, I'm not going to post any of that sort of content myself ever, I'll stick to just a nude now and then. Most of my posts have nothing to do with nudism at all, and most of the photos don't either. It...

  It's music time. I actually listen to around 15 to 20 hours of music a week. Much more than my Netflix most weeks. But I have to admit I've not listened for a week so now I am. Been binging shows mostly. Being a nudist in an apartment building can have its problems BTW. You can see in my window from a church. Public nudity is of course banned in the building. Having people come to the door is always a bother as I don't own a robe. I wish I could live in a place that was nudist friendly,but I just can't. So its part time for me sadly.

A nice drink of Whiskey while watching a horror film is always a pleasure. A lot of people my size are ashamed of their body, but if you get into the mindset that it's OK to be in your skin, and to heck with what others think, life gets a lot better for you. This is the big scar I have just beside a large hernia. The hernia won't be fixed any time soon as I'm at risk of not making it if they operate. So it's one more think that makes me not "average". I originally gained weight after I hurt my back at the age of 9. I was actually extremely active at that time of my life and despite that, I kept the weight on. When I was in my late 20's, I hurt my back again and was then unable to exercise and I became sedentary. This was when I rapidly gained weight and the stretch marks showed up. In my late 30's I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and by that time could no longer work. Not long after I shot up to 550 lbs. Right now I'm around 380 lbs. So I've l...

Recently had to inform someone that Twitter allows Nudity and Sexuality in it's posts. The rules are you set your profile to "may contain sensitive material", and do NOT post a nude profile pic or banner pic. It is also nice of you to day you are a nudist in your bio, if you ask me. The fellow seems to have a lot of hang-ups about public nudity and posting nudity online. I find this interesting from someone who watches porn. But then again, I don't actually care for porn at all, I find it dull as hell. His thing is, "Twitter is social media". Well yes it is, and it allows this. His other thing is, "Children might see it". Yes they might, and this is on the parents for not monitoring what their children do online. The majority of content I encounter on Twitter is for adults. Not just the nudists I follow, but news, art, and even talking about kink. Honestly I literally can't see the deal here. It's a site who allows the content, so why am I ...

 

Positive body image is what I'm about. I love who I am and am at total peace with how I look. It is sad that most people in our society have issues with their body in some manner or not. Often for men, it's the size of their penis. I am extremely average, but because I'm also extremely overweight, it looks to say the least tiny. I could care less what someone thinks of my misshapen body, or it's parts. The best part of the nudist community is how accepting they are of different body types. Below are a few photos and commentary. I'm sadly a "part time nudist" by necessity, and wish I had the ability (AKA money) to live the lifestyle full time. My entire life I was told it was OK to be nude, I was never shamed into hiding my body, but I was thought the limits of being in a society that does not condone nudity in public. My father and my brother and I where often nude in the evenings in our family home of my youth. My mother had deep rooted hang-ups about it ...
