I am 70 years of age. My sexual desire remains in place though I have to admit, it is not as strong as it has been in the past. Well, that is a different way to begin a blog post for me. Normally, I would stay as far away from the sexual dimension of naturism and nudism as possible. After all, if naturism is to ever become normalised, it needs to lose the assumption that nudity equates to sex. As I said above, as an older male, I still retain a healthy appreciation for conjugal relations. Luckily, I am still married to the woman I love. Perhaps this is the reason for continued desire, perhaps not.
Regardless of my intention to present images of naturism in a normalised fashion, images such as today’s photo, too many men especially, take these images as invitations for sexual gratification. Even when I crop the images, such as I have here, the porn hounds swarm like bees. I literally have had to block thousands on my Twitter site and 4 out of 5 who try to follow me on Flickr. As a result, I have reduced my Flickr photostream to around 40 photos, and that is likely to be decreased even more so that no photo that is left would cause an issue, even on Facebook. I can’t imagine what it must be like for a woman who is a naturist or nudist at heart.
Now to be honest, men have a greater level of sexual desire which lasts longer in their lives, than women. Here is a good article to explain the facts about sexual desire for those who would dispute my thoughts here. As many men age, there also appears to be a re-emergence of sexual desire towards members of the same gender without loss of their sexual desire for women with the result that there is some confusion about sexual identity. Gay versus bi-sexual identity issues arise though not necessarily acted out. Now with the plethora of nude images, the fascination that other bodies, both male and female appear to be stoked. And inner confusion escalates.
The safest place to act out this confusion, the fantasies, and the possibilities is in the online world of social media. There is a reason why naturism will likely never become the norm, or accepted as a much as homosexuality has been accepted. That reason is the fact that we are hardwired as sexual beings with our skin being the largest sexual organ. Do you agree or disagree with this thesis? I look forward to hearing your thoughts as I am by no means, an expert in this field.
