Absolutely!

I have had a difficult time trying to understand why nudism has
a thoroughly asexual point of view.  Is it so they can have greater
acceptance among the mundanes?  If so, then the word "naturist" is
incorrect because sexuality, in it's purest sense, IS natural.

The idea of having to go to somePLACE to "nake" also, doesn't seem
right.  It's nice to have a resort environment that allows me to
drop the clothes (the first thing I do when I get home at night),
but "naturist camps" still don't seem to fit the bill...
I'd rather not have to bother with the travel time and the
negated sexuality, which in many ways, can be as unnatural as
celibacy.

Oh well.
