I Believe That Naturism Encourages Mutual Respect

I know that you can tell a lot about someone by the clothes they wear, and that taking away the clothes gets rid of that factor but then you still have race, gender, facial features, body size, etc. so other than that I don't think I understand this group. Can someone explain how naturism encourages mutual respect?

It removes the disguise and the associated personality hidden behind place, authority and social upper-hand. It diminishes identity with artificial supports for an ego. When ego is lessened, positional attitudes lessen. There is less confrontation, people tend to listen better.

When social place is gone with clothing it throws people off of their bad habits of judgement and projection. The cues are not there, so they need to look a bit deeper, before they see any stereotypes to project on to others. They often are more cautious and civil at first. When you get to know someone without the labels you see them with more respect, more as just another person. You yourself are stripped of identity and the associated behaviors. Still, in time, one finds ways to judge or just identify people into a group, with subtle clues, or not so subtle. It takes longer and they commonalities may by then override the conflicts.

Gender, can't be hidden, race, facial features body size are all prejudices recognized commonly and by law to be wrong reasons to discriminate. Discrimination is more often a negative value. My point being that we try not to discriminate and accept a book by its cover. The effect of nudity doesn't help change these other prejudices very much directly.

People tend to accept and perceive that most people are not playboy material when everyone is nude. That helps in acceptance. Acceptance promotes mutual respect. No one has to overcompensate when naked.

There is a tendency for people to drop off inhibition, relax and be more honest when nude. This is true and a basic support of nude encounter groups.

Experience in a naturist resort is commonly perceived as, "People are just more friendly there."

I never feel naturism or nudism. But my naturist friend told me it make good society with great mutual respect.

Why people can't live with goog mutual respect being wearing cloths?

Not sure... maybe bc you're more vulnerable when naked so less likely to judge? Not sure if it's something I could do.

It's hard to judge others when we're feeling vulnerable

I'm not sure you can truly tell a lot about a person by the clothes they wear. What you see is what they choose to put forth. Clothes can be used to put on a false persona.
