Like where? Rectally?

Yeah but like... I would be literally incapable of sitting down if I were nude in public, because, I do not want my v****a touching the same surfaces that literally scores-to-hundreds of strangers have had their bare skin and possibly genitals on that day alone.

Sanitation like Cassidy says. That's my main problem, I'd be fine with just undies, I can put my stuff in a purse or necklace pouch. But utterly naked I don't want my but to touch places where someone might have went to the bathroom while drunk. Not mention broken glass, and other substances on the ground.
I also don't want my v****a touching things that might get my sick that way. Like seriously. Someone pukes up the flu virus and I sit in it naked? Not a good thing. Flu virus can live to TWO DAYS on surfaces. I don't want to go to the doctor telling him I got the flu because I didn't want to wear pants.

Jock Itch? Herpes? Genital Warts? Infection in general? Yeah, I have to agree with both of you. I don't want to sit my bare delicates on a surface that was just subjected to some woman's blue waffle excretions. emotion_puke

Don't a lot of nudists carry around a towel to sit on in public spaces? If nudism became mainstream then I imagine that habit would come along with it. That should address the fear of hygiene problems for the most part.

Why not just wear your towel all the time, I.E. like pants?

There's a lot of things you can't do in public, take a dump, have sex, play your music loudly, drive quickly on roads. The reasoning is primarily that the public doesn't like or health reasons. If you want to be naked, that's fine, but you've got to do it on your own property.

People don't like to look at naked people all the time, so they don't want you to be naked in public.

Because they do not want to wear clothes? I was answering the question of hygiene for people who are nude (which precludes wearing clothes as a solution) based on contemporary nudist etiquette.

Not really interested in debating the decency of the naked human body, if that's where this is headed.

Yeah but, wouldn't it be more difficult to carry around in a towel in your arms than to just wear it and forget about it?

Doesn't seem practical. Not to mention, what if you forget about it, or lose your towel? What if you bump into things or people, will you always have a towel shielding you at the exact right moments.

I also would not want to sit my bare a** on something everyone else's bare asses sat upon.

However, if this ever became an actual problem and I felt like walking around naked for whatever reason, like Yosh mentioned, I'd just bring a towel.

Because nobody really wants to know the naked truth.

Try what you might, i'm not going to run around without pants and a shirt in public.

Every time this comes up, my responses are the same:

1.) Health and sanitation

We as a society have a hard time teaching everyone to pee inside of a toilet and not poop on the floor and wash their hands (see any public bathroom). Why nudists think society would magically become cleaner then makes no sense to me.

2.) Personal tastes

I simply don't want to be forced to see naked people all the time unless I can guarantee that the only people I will see naked are all women I find attractive.

Do you really think everyone would follow nudist etiquette? Most probably will, but there would be many who wouldn't. As Riviera de la Mancha said, we still have people who do not practice basic hygiene like washing their hands.

No, nor did I imply that. Unhygienic people will violate the standards whether they involve clothes or not.

Was I not supposed to answer the question since we live in an imperfect world?
