Day49

It's good to see the interest in the blog still. I have to apologise because I have no more publishable photos. You will have noticed the repeating of most of my pictures of Maja, but the only way is to repeat them again. I have some of myself that have not been published but they don't seem as popular, which is understandable she is a lot better looking than me. I will include some of me in with the pics of Maja and hope they don't put you off too much.

Day48

What is the difference between a loving couple photographed making love and a pair of porn stars having sex for money and the camera?

If you have never known true love between two people, you would probably say not much.

It is not easy to describe to someone who has never known a true love partnership. True love has no jealousy, because you trust your true love implicitly, True loves are proud of their partners.

Non of this applies to porn stars, with the possible exception of those few who actually love each other and are porn stars as well.

Not much over a hundred years ago the glimpse of an ankle was something shocking (as the song says). This relaxed in the 20s when flappers, shorter skirts and skinny dipping became popular with the rich young things. In the cities it was still thought shocking to show a knee. This continued until the end of the 50s, and 60s introduced the mini-skirt, hippies and free love.  Things quietened down with the maxi and midi dresses.  Apart from a brief period in the 60s, mens clothing has always been pretty dowdy.

Then along comes see through clothes for women and dowdy for men, with the exception of coloured shirts.  Now we have girls in micro skirts and bikini cut jeans and shorts just covering the fold. More people are skinny dipping, or sunbathing topless and nude. Some couples see nothing wrong in sharing a room with their mates and all making love with their own partners. Others go in for swapping, but go back to their own partners at the end of it. Keyring parties are apparently not uncommon. Of course we have all heard of Dogging and I read that some doggers are loving partners just satisfying an itch.

Couples volunteer for educational videos, I have seen one were happily married couples demonstrate intimate sexual methods for older couples. They appear to be loving couples who just have no problems with showing their lovemaking to others and on TV there are sex clinics.

So I think the line is blurring between what we see of porn stars and what we see of "normal" married couples. The digital  camera revolution has a lot to do with it. Of course some of us were taking nude pictures of their partners before digital and wish digital had come out earlier.

To finish I have often said, I love my wife and she loves me. I trust her completely as she trusts me. I have no jealousy over others seeing her naked pictures, or actually seeing her naked in public. As for people seeing us making love, It did happen by accident when a neighbour knocked and entered without stopping, we had a good laugh about it afterwards.

Day47

Beautiful weather again, sod's law we get the best weather for years and we cant enjoy it as we'd like. All we can do is hope it continues through the year.

Day46

It has been said that a lot of people on Lockdown have been spending their time naked. Even non-naturists have been naked and liking it.

Are you spending your lockdown days without clothes?

Have you taken any pictures?

Why not have them included on this blog?

They can be included anonymously if you wish. Just contact me through Comments.

Day45

Maybe towards the end of summer we might be allowed out on the beaches. We can always hope. Maja always looks beautiful in the sunshine.

Day44

I just removed a messy background with Photoshop. It was the result of paying too much attention to the model and not enough to the background. I'm not alone in this though, I saw some pictures of Marie Helvin and David Bailey seems to have made the same mistakes occasionally.

Day43

Things have been eased slightly, but I'm not sure if naturism counts as exercise. So we would probably have to swim and play badminton etc. But at least it's a chance for social nudity. Of course in parallel with that the weather has turned cold again. Hey-Ho.

Day42

Some people firmly believe that naturism is about sex and swapping etc and the net doesn't help when the porn sites claim to be naturist.

As a couple, Maja and I have been naturists for over forty years and neither of us has ever been involved in swinging, swapping dogging, etc. etc etc. we have been together and faithful during all that time. I suggest we are not unusual, yes some genuine naturists might stray, but I think they are in the minority. Of course we rarely hear from them, they are the silent majority, but they enjoy social nudity just the same.

Day41

What does clothing cost the environment?

Consider fashion, it's so bad it has to change every few months.

Most clothing is made in third world countries in sweat shops with no pollution controls and child labour. The clothes are not made of natural fibres, most are synthetic. They ship clothes round the world, again attacking the environment with emissions.
Most worn out, old clothes end up on the landfill sites of the world.

Without clothes we would save all this, the environment would benefit and so would our health and allergies. We wouldn't be generating so much waste water or using as much power for our washing machines.

Of course in Britain we cant go entirely without clothes, we would need coverings for inclement weather, but we don't need anything underneath. So when we get out of the cold, off with the coat and we are nude again.

Of course there are many benefits and one would be no flashers!!  no good flashing a nude.
Disadvantages - no pockets.

Do you think this too radical - I don't but it probably is for the majority of the population for now ... but who knows what will happen in the future.

Day40

Digital photography is the naturists best friend, you take the pics load em onto your computer and do as you wish with them. Naturists who wouldn't consider taking nude photos of themselves or their partners because they had to go to a lab to be processed and some places, like a large chemist who sounds like something you might wear on your feet. They would refuse to take them but some branches would take them and if there was a family nude picture including children or a picture of a parent bathing a baby, they would repot you to the police. There was a time when it was almost impossible to get nudes processed. Now you can easily process your own, you can even process porn if you are that way inclined.
Here are some monochrome pics that I processed myself at home. I couldn't do colour, but Black and white was easy. You will have seen some of these in colour thanks to Photoshop.

Day39

There is plenty of sunshine today, I dont know how long it'll last but your daily exercise could include a nude hike if you know somewhere to go.

Day38

Maja's love of nudity and posing for the camera have all ways tempered with the decorum of not forcing her naked body on people, not being brazen. Nudity can be perfectly natural in even the most staid and decorous situation if you behave as if it is completely normal, rushing to cover up shows you are feeling guilty. Relax take your time and if you feel you need to dress, do it as you would in a naturist environment. Steadily, relaxed and talking calmly. Then carry one as if nothing has happened.

Day37

Dont let the bad reputation of pole dancing put you off, the pole is great exercise. This one is in the barn at Candy Farm. It's great for photography as well and you can document your development on the pole.

Day36

Taking photos like this one requires confidence from both the model and the photographer. Is it naturist or boudoir, some might call it glamour and we all know what the prudes would call it.

I suppose it depends on you point of view and wether you think that showing a naked body is OK as long as you dont show the intimate bits. I think that thrusting poses are closer to porn than this one. A relaxed model in a natural pose I think of as art. A model pulling herself apart to show her innards doesn't look relaxed.

Some people get turned on by showing their partners nude pictures, while others would have hysterics at a flash of upper thigh. I like to show Maja off, but am only turned on by what we do in private.

Day35

When you are taking photos of your other half or even of a hired model, always make sure they are happy posing nude and understand what you might want to do with the pictures.

Day34

We dont have to go out to take outdoor nude pictures, This was taken out at Woodhouse in the Charnwood forest. But I could take similar in my drive if I arrange it right.

Day33

If you take nude pictures of your own partners and would like to show them to some people, but dont want them to see the "Naughty bits" you could look at pictures like this one. You might even be able to show them to your workmates and make them jealous.

Day32

By the heck, this grass needs cutting and our gardener has retired. Like me his health was making it difficult.

Day31

If you are lucky enough countryside like this might be within your daily exercise distance. Unfortunately it is not within mine, this was taken a while ago at Candy Farm.

Day30

As daytime TV becomes more desperate, there is no substitute for a good book.

But whatever you do, stick to the lockdown laws. People think it only affects them if they go out, but it doesn't. The more people ignoring the social distancing puts more people out in public and more people out there the greater the chance of a second wave of the virus.
