When I think about nudism, I think about showing that the human body is nothing to be ashamed of, and making nudity sterile and de-sexualized. It's all about destroying whatever taboo the is regarding wearing your birthday suit.
Exhibitionism, on the other hand, is a straight-up kink. I mean, it's arousal from being naked and sexual when and where you're not supposed to be. Whether it's about the thrill of almost getting caught or having a captive audience, the excitement wouldn't exist without the taboo that nudism is actively trying to disassemble.
Even though I eventually learned that I did enjoy being naked for the sake of just being naked, how could I identify as a nudist with my exhibitionist tendencies?
Then I befriended a naturist online, who later invited me to a group chat full of other naturists and nudists. At first, I was hesitant. I thought I'd be demonized by such a community, being the pervert that I am, but when finally I decided to give it a chance, my expectations were completely subverted.
In fact, thanks to all the people in that group chat, I learned a lot about both nudism and exhibitionism. Or more importantly, I learned the two aren't mortal enemies of each other, but two sides of the same coin.
While nudism isn't rooted in sex or sexuality, there's nothing wrong with a nudist having a perfectly healthy sex life. And while exhibitionism is based in kink, there were many users in the group chat that also believed the taboos surrounding sex and sexuality should also be dismantled, just like the taboos surrounding nudity.
A lot of the group members proudly labeled themselves as both nudists and exhibitionists, and assured me that my little identity crisis wasn't something worth worrying about.
So here I am, Patrigue, nudist and exhibitionist, setting off to continue breaking those taboos, facing the day with nothing but a pair of shoes on my feet and a smile on my face.
Sure, some might say I'm not completely naked because of the shoes, but to be honest, the fact that they're the only thing I'm wearing kind of makes me feel even more naked. Besides, I don't want to accidentally get a splinter while I'm hiking with my new friends.
That's right! New friends! It turns out some of the nudists from the online group actually live nearby, and invited me to go with hiking with them. In the nude, of course. I’m really excited because this is the first time doing any nude, outdoorsy stuff during the day. I just have to make sure none of my neighbors see me as I head to my car. Of course, I could just get undressed at the hiking trail, but where's the fun in that? You can't break taboos without taking a few risks, right?
Sure, nudity is still considered indecent where I live, but I'm hoping that'll change one day. For now, I'm just going to enjoy the sunlight shining on my body and the wind blowing through my plumage, lightly tickling me as I walk and talk with my equally exposed acquaintances… Plus, I get to show off how cute my ass is. Looks better when you can actually see it, wouldn't you say?
