When you are with friends or acquaintances, how are private areas treated? Is it taboo/frowned upon to look at them?
Well, even walking around naked, how would genitalia be "interacted with" in a non-sexual way? To be non-sexual, I think they are pretty much left alone, in most ordinary situations. Right?
Hi Dani, this depends so much on the situation, the people you hang out with, the circumstances etc. But usually when you are together with other nudists or people who are used to have you around naked, no one has a special focus on your your bum, vagina or breasts. They are just there, as any other body parts as well. And usually it's not a taboo to talk about or look at them, but touching (for my taste) needs a kind of special confidence among friends. You also need to develop some horse sense to recognize who you can get close to or even have body contact and who would feel uncomfortabele this way. But you shouldn't worry, all these skills develop by themselves when you practice, you just need to be open for the other's reactions, your own feelings and the specific character of the situation you're in.
As pixy says it very much depends on the people, situation etc, some people are more open to looking, talking & touching than others. It's fine to look, but less appropriate to stare. It's ok to talk and even compliment one another, it's just part of general conversation. As for touching, then with your hands will probably be considered getting sexual so that depends on who you are with, but general bodily contact happens exactly the same as if you were dressed. So a hug to greet someone is just normal, even though there's full frontal body contact. Everyone is different and you'll soon realise what people you are with find acceptable and what they don't without upsetting anyone.
