The dilemma of Nudist Garments or better yet - Naturists and Clothes!
Nudist Clothes - Yes, I understand this question sounds like an oxymoron. But I really got to thinking about it after the Bare Necessities nude cruise. This was an adults-only cruise, so that undoubtedly had an effect on the vibe and what folks chose to wear.
It was clothes-optional, and while most folks were completely nude outdoors during the day, the scene changed a bit at night. You couldn't wear lingerie or "fetish-wear" to the dining hall, but folks wore it everywhere else. Some of it was like a sexy nudist costume based on the theme of the night. Don't get me wrong.
It wasn't as if the boat unexpectedly became a fetish party boat, but there was a lot of freedom as far as what individuals could wear. I saw a man wearing the underwear pictured below, on the cruise in broad day. (This photo is courtesy of Babeland.com, the sex toy store.)
I enjoy the notion of having the independence to wear as much or as little clothing as I desire, without having to worry about covering parts that the remainder of society considers indecent, like nipples. I believe other naturists would concur that it would be fine if this independence were not exclusive to naturist settings.
But since society does not yet give us this unclothed liberty, we're stuck with our designated places where we can go to be naked. Some places are nudity-required, but even for ones that don't label themselves clothing-optional, we all know that sometimes people have to put on clothes. So back to the question. Can there be clothes considered inappropriate for naturist areas? It'd seem most clubs have rules on nudity, but not too much on clothes.
Why would they, right? Well, perhaps you've been to among the clubs that has lingerie parties. Many clubs are a typical nudist setting during the day, and then things get just a little more risque in the club house dance or night club parties.
From my own observations, largely girls put on lingerie, hot nudist accessories, tight see-through clothing and the like. Many places don't advertise the lingerie thing, but I know of at least one family club that lists events on their site entitled lingerie dance and leather and lace party.
Naturist Garments - Lingerie attire is too alluring for nudists and naturism?
Now, are these places still considered naturist clubs? By AANR's standards, yes they are, provided that no overt sexual activity occurs. Many are also family-oriented, or promise to be.
By https://s3.amazonaws.com/y-naturist/nude-beach-pussies.html , one would think that lingerie and such clothing will not have a location in naturist venues because:

1) Presumably, people see nudist clubs because they would like to be naked and textile-free.
2) The terms nudism and naturism have different significance depending on who you talk to, but *I believe* we can all agree that both are about nonsexual nudity.
3) Isn't the goal of lingerie to sexually entice or arouse others?
I realize that people like to dress up and feel pretty or hot, whether they are a naturist or not. And clothing or accessories may also be a means for individuals to state themselves. But based on the points above, I still ask, is such clothes suitable in nudism / naturism? Some were adamant about it being improper.
Tweets in Response to: Is Lingerie Proper or Inappropriate in Naturist Settings?
A female friend on Facebook also said: I do not think lingerie has any place in nudism/naturism. Lingerie sexualizes the body and when that sort of clothing is mixed in with nudism it can no more be considered non sexual.
follow was genuinely surprised the first time I visited an aanr allied club that had a lingerie party at night. It still baffles me a bit and makes me think that people simply are not capable of living a regular life clothing free it has to be some type of sexual expression because they just cannot separate the two in their heads.
A comment on the AskANudist Facebook page had the opposite view:
"I think rules need a confident goal to exist. I see no reason to limit garments in any way in a clothes optional scenario. Even in those places where nudity is required, there should be exceptions for health and temperatures below 75F. If someone is sexually aroused by somebody else's clothes alternatives, it is the problem of the aroused person to get their act together. I don't care what other people wear or do not wear."
I think it is good after the kid's curfew at the resort so after around 9 or 10 pm. It's really the parent's call then how much their kids are exposed to it after that. We should not ignore our sexuality wholly so in my opinion there is a proper time and an inappropriate time for this at a naturist resort and the same goes in a child's growth.
A Nuidst Clothing Response on AskANudist.com
The workshop leader was essentially asking if naturists needed to relax the rules a bit on the sexuality front to draw in more people. Not letting public sex, but as an illustration, having more of a "spring break" environment with wet t-shirt contests and such.
If there were suddenly a national nudist rule against lingerie / any sexual clothes, would people suddenly begin losing interest? Would https://s3.amazonaws.com/y-naturist/beach-blondes.html lose membership? If there were more leniency, would we develop more interest?
As I suggested above, there aren't any present rules on this. Not even AANR has a policy. Therefore I reckon it is up to every person and every club to ascertain what is acceptable.
Just what exactly does everybody think about nudists and clothing? Should naturist clubs and resorts demand nudity at parties and dancing too? Should they've rules on clothes or slack the rules more? Have you been to nightclubs with lingerie dances?
