We nudists are lousy at PR and we probably ...Agree. We nudists are lousy at PR and we probably hurt the nudist movement more than anything in the media. Of course, the media usually gets it wrong but shouldn't we be making some kind of attempt to correct those misconceptions? Our national organizations can't do all the PR work, it starts on an individual level with us being open about our experiences and letting others know that it's OK to be naked.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01514853874832067588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1756085111205204847.post-69851699066211341932010-03-18T06:34:17.965-07:002010-03-18T06:34:17.965-07:00I am a proud naturist/nudist and have never hidden...I am a proud naturist/nudist and have never hidden that fact from those who asked. However, I admit there haven't been too many opportunities to address this issue with others through everyday conversation. I don't blatantly advertise my preference for nudity just like I don't advertise my same gender loving orientation. It's on a strictly "need to know" basis. <br /><br />However, when I do see the media misrepresent us, I do sit naked at my computer and communicate to the source of the misinformation my issues and concerns. I correct any myth or stereotype that they have presented as fact and remind them of their professional obligation to be accurate, fair and objective when communicating to the general public. I believe that holding the media accountable and responsible is the first step toward changing our image in the minds of the public.<br /><br />By the way, I just happened to discover your blog today. I find it informative and fresh. Like yourself, I'm new at this. I began writing my nudist blog in January, 2010. Best wishes and I look forward to future posts.

We need to take a loo...I couldn't agree more. <br /><br />We need to take a look at what those other minority groups did to get recognized namely get out there and get some media coverage. We need to tell our friends, neighbors and family. We are our own best examples of how great social nudity is. By hiding that part of our lives we promote all the misunderstanding going on. I have nudist t-shirts that I wear and I have had a few good conversations regarding nudism becasue of that. I tell those who I know all about it. I don't go around preaching but I do not hide my love of nudism. How can you belong to something you are ashamed to admit to others you know and care about in your life? I feel very strongly we need to stand up and be counted as proud nudists who are not ashamed to admit it. Over time this will result in opening our doors to more opportunities for nudism to grow and expand.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649454778451770372noreply@blogger.com
