    I'm of the opinion that Nudist was a way of living and Exhibitionism a choice 'of the moment'
    A choice of living being that doing so if to embrace the freedom from restraint whereas a choice of the moment is more "when the feeling comes upon one like a tidal wave" and more of a matter of bravado

    In my opinion, there are not two, but three "types". And someone can certainly be more than one of these at different times.

    1) Nudist. Someone who genuinely prefers to be naked wherever permissible, and that desire does not center around sexuality.
    2) Exhibitionist. Someone who likes to show their naked body to other people, but would not do so without their consent.
    3) Streaker. Someone who likes to show their naked body to other people regardless of their consent. And even careless if children might see them. Also known as a freak.

    I actually really enjoy asking permission to be nude.

    I don’t think I would ever ask - or want to be asked - but I do want it to be okay if I’m the one naked

    Me too.
    I am lucky enough to have pretty good genes so I still look pretty good naked. I figure I better enjoy that while I still can. :)

    I think I'll go with one of the prevailing sentiments, here. If you want to be nude, I'd call that a nudist. If you want to use nudity as a way of getting attention, I'd call that an exhibitionist.

    Put another way, in public, a nudist gives other people to look. An exhibitionist doesn't give them permission not to.

    But, back to the question you didn't ask, but hinted at, "How should I behave in a nude environment?" The same way you would if you weren't in one, except for it's okay to have your clothes off. The rule in a nudist club is often, if it's not okay to do in front of children, it's not okay. It's easy to think that, because they suspended the rule that "you must not show your naked body to anybody" that they've suspended other rules, but that's usually not true. Go, be naked, and feel what it's like to be who you are.

    Im more nudist. Hate wearing clothes but I will admit its a bit exciting when at the nude beach a gawking textile looks you over or walks by looking at me.

    I guess I am an exhibitionist. But alas, only in my limited way. I have enjoyed webcam exhibitionism - but does that even count? This thread seems to indicate that many of you are much more experienced in "real" situations than I am. I applaud that, and envy it. But in my geographic zone it's not really an option. (USA - southern). Or if it is, I am too sheltered to know about it.

    So I enjoy the occasional webcam escapade. Is that exhibitionist?

    I'm neither. I don't know what kind of terminology would fit me the best, bust I'm just a guy who enjoys being nude and likes seeing others nude. Maybe I'm just a dirty old bastard, lol.

    Ah, see, not THAT old. It's still what I consider middle aged.
