This is absolutely correct!!!
Which one are you?
Is it possible to be both?
Well, actually, there ARE some of us that are both.
However, personally,
"I am ALWAYS NUDE, but NEVER NAKED!"
Reason being, I have always considered nude to be more tasteful, while naked is more shameful. I will explain the difference, because I use both of them as well. However, the context is crucial.
First,
Nude:
always used when showing proper respect & appreciation for OUR human form and when referring to tasteful art.
Don't you agree?
For example, I have heard of "tasteful nudity," but never "tasteful nakedity." Since it's tasteful, it's showing proper respect for ALL OUR beautiful anatomy. Conversely,
Naked:
a totally different context. I think of a completely distinct dynamic since it just doesn't carry the same dignity and respect the way nude does. Keep in mind that many of us assume this to be true, after all, there are many nudists and naturists, but no "nakedists." Also, when I heard long ago from a photographer that,
"Nude is art, naked is dirty," that really sealed the deal for me.
The reason naked doesn't assert the same acclaim as nude does, is I always consider the shame of the bible. Adam and Eve, were naked, if you remember, while being ashamed of defying god.
In this context, I envision a dirty primal animal, because I have also heard of the series,
"naked and afraid"
NOT
"nude and afraid." Remember context?
You may agree, it's proper for naked, to describe an environment that is animalistic or primal, like the instincts of a wild animal way out in the jungle, on the hunt.
The "shit that makes it stink" is attaching it to PORN, which is distasteful and offensive. This is what ignorant textiles unjustly correlate us, nudists, with. Because oblivious textiles don't have any concept or appreciation of what nudism is, they just improperly assume sex and porn as soon as they hear naked. If they did not equate these together, then showing your true authentic human form would not be so "TABOO" and "FORBIDDEN."
So, there you have it, put into the simplest terms, the difference between the two:
Nude and Naked.
Two entirely different sides of the spectrum.
Now that you know what nude and naked are, we should also know how to get
"Open and Free."
WAIT!
What was that?
OPEN & What....?
You are really perplexed to what I am talking about Put in the simplest terms: --> "nude." But I always have to be different and "outside" the box.
But allow me to explain: "Open and Free." The real reason is, that's exactly how I feel when not concealing my anatomy, behind the cloaks we are forced us to hide ourselves with shame. Was the human body created in God's image? so why would I be ashamed of what he gave me? A divine gift that should revel us with honor and dignity
We should accept our body with PRIDE, but most, if not all, of us shame and hide it like its some primary source of embarrassment that we are forbidden to see.
OPEN is,
being totally, completely honest with who you are, instead of concealing yourself with fake facades that superficial shallow society always force us to wear.
FREE is, flying high as a bird, far above the ground with no restrictions, and absolutely nothing binding or restricting my movements. Now we will "uncover" today's key point.
Why are you ashamed of what HE gave you, being such a divine source?
I am proud of certain attributes of mine.
Allow me to sum it up,
For the attributes of your beautiful body that you cannot change,
you must deal with it and accept it as your own.
For the other features that you can change,
work diligently on shaping them up to your own satisfaction & standards.
This evening, I will close with that.
Good night.
Love you BOTH,
Christopher
