Words vs Actions, is there a responsibility to promote Naturism if you have been labeled?
I am going to post this on both nude discussion subs, naturism and nudism, just to see what the responses might be. I have a feeling they might be quite different. My question or discussion is pretty simple, but I will put it into context.
We have had the same house cleaners for the last few years. They show up once a month and are in the house most of the morning. They know we are most comfortable nude, and over the years they have asked leading questions to give us this feeling of responsibility to naturism of living out the words. Out of respect, and since we are paying them to clean our home, we feel like there is a boundary that we don’t ever want to make them feel uncomfortable and feel like they don’t have a voice to say so in worries that they might lose work. It is that unclear power dynamic that we want to honor. But over the years they have made it clear that they are curious and even interested in trying a naturist vacation. Or they have shared, “I tried it the other morning and just stayed naked when I had my coffee, it was so peaceful and nice but my kids made me feel a bit awkward.” Little comments like that make us feel like not only is it okay for us to be in our home naturally, but we have a responsibility to promote naturism in a non-sexual way to others that are interested. Does anyone else feel this responsibility? How do you handle visitors or guests that show interest but most likely won’t participate. The only agenda we feel is to not just say something and not back it up with living it out..
I am just using the cleaners for context, it could be any situation that involves social nudity for people that are interested but not convinced that our bodies don’t have to be sexualized.
