Spring is coming! And so is the new naturist season (in the northern hemisphere).

As many of you will know, I use images from numerous tumblr sites to illustrate these pages. I’ve got several sites bookmarked as ‘naturist tumblr’ sites, and I’m always amused that some men (always men) will make comments such as ‘I didn’t come here to see dicks’.

If you’re a genuine naturist, you will know that naturism includes both genders, male and female, and cropping photos to remove evidence of men isn’t remotely genuinely naturist. Many tumblr sites present themselves as naturist, but exploration of them reveals that they’re male-free and also include many photos that aren’t naturist, but more sexual in nature.

Fellas, please don’t be afraid of a penis. It’s involved in 50% of naturist activity. If you’re a genuine naturist, you’ll know that penises are ever-present, so don’t try to present yourself as a genuine naturist by displaying some sort of phobia to male genitalia.

Furthermore, some people accept displays of affection between people of different genders, but recoil in horror at displays of affection between same-sex couples, specifically male couples (the whole lesbian display of affection doesn’t have the same anathema to many males).

Naturism is a very inclusive lifestyle. We don’t recoil in horror by larger sized people, older people or people of the same gender involved as a couple. Be reminded that this is naturism, not just naked women of a certain age and size doing things to male genitalia.
