I Support Body Positivity

It's just me who can't understand why people show here their naked bodies, usually full frontal nudity under "body positivity" topics? I accept it, just don't get it.

Guys please... body positivity is not about showing your nude body online... it's far from that. That is called exhibitionism, but it a shyish type of exhibitionism TBH, because we don't know you in real life...

Of course body positivity is about accepting your body as it is. It has a lot to do with your nude form, but it has nothing to do with showing your nude body to anybody out (t)here. If you have the guts and you feel comfortable to show other people your nude body, it's a great thing and it's a really liberating feeling, but showing your nude body online is not that...

And I know what I'm talking about... I was a really shy guy two decades ago so I had to make huge efforts during my 20's to accept myself and my own body. I know that in this effort I went from one extreme to another, but at least now I can accept myself...

Showing your nude bodies here as "body positivity" is nothing to do with that. Especially if your looks are (far) above average.

Body positive is feeling positive about yourself/physical self. Not posting it for the world to objectify and download.

@VeganNudist I live and let live, but showing full frontal nudity is harrassing others, especially if the topic is about body positivity when we are talking about how hard it is to accept ourselves... then some stupid idiot shows his junk, and it ruins everything.

@VeganNudist no, I'm not offended by naked people... No matter what's their race sex or age. I just don't care. But I think you, who post naked selfies under a body positivity thread, don't really understand what it really means, and I don't like that.

Feel free to post your naked images, I don't care. Just don't call it body positivity, becasue it's not body positive, it's just exhibitionism.

@SW-User what a troll you have here.

SW-User

@HannahSky an entertaining one. ;)

@HannahSky hmmm. For some, it’s about objectification.

But, no judgment here

HannahSky · F

@JoeyFoxx that's what I said, objectify.

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@HannahSky I get it. But the body positive posts, even some of the authors want to be objectified.

In the end, everyone wants some form of attention

SW-User

@JoeyFoxx IMHO this kind of behavior hurts "body positivity".

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@SW-User does it?

Or, is body positivity just a way to passively ridicule people who like to wear makeup?

Obviously, I’m being a devil’s advocate here, but I don’t think it’s completely cut and dry

HannahSky · F

@JoeyFoxx like you, right now, wanting attention.

HannahSky · F

@SW-User attracting the trolls like mad, aren't you lol

SW-User

@JoeyFoxx IMHO body positive thinking means that you don't hate your own body, and you can accept it as it is. It doesn't mean how you look (thin, fat, hairy, smooth, black or white), what kind of makeup you wear. It's about your own thoughts about your own body. You have to like your own form. That's what body positivity is about. I think.

SW-User

@JoeyFoxx as I wrote... don't mix body positivity with showing off or exhibitionism. These are totally different things.

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@SW-User I guess that’s my point.

I think most people combine them, intentionally or not.

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@HannahSky um. Sure. Ok.

I am a attention seeker.

I’m ok with that.

If no one read my posts, I wouldn’t come back.

And, this makes me different from you how exactly?

HannahSky · F

@JoeyFoxx I was done with post yesterday and your defense of the the subject is just your own sick mind. You said you get girls asking to rate them and somehow you think it's a good thing. Bye.

SW-User

@JoeyFoxx I'm arguing with @VeganNudist in private messages that if you are content with you looks but you show it off for attention it's nothing more just affection seeking. But if you don't like your own body, and depsite that you have the guts to show it off here... and you get positive feedback, then it helps you to accept your own form. And this is what body positivity is all about...

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@SW-User I can see your point.

Though, for the guys with six packs that post full frontals on these posts, isn’t it possible that maybe they have other reasons for wanting affection? I mean, it’s not like there are many that are posting pics with raging erections.

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@HannahSky so, you don’t understand sarcasm.

Gotcha.

Go read some of my other posts and even if you don’t, do yourself a favor and try not to take things out of context.

@JoeyFoxx look even a guy/gal with great body could have huge problems with his or her own phisical form, and they would need positive feedback too, but it's not common. If you have great body, and you need positive feedback even here, than you are narcissist, and it's another type of issue. ;)
