Susan~Sporran Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 You have just got to love how this has evolved from "why do Scotsmen not wear undies beneath their kilts" to a philosophical discussion of the aesthetics of "nude vs naked" and its sexual connotations and sociological implications. My, this site is far more educational than even I'd have thunk. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 A person who is "naked" is one who is being shamed or victimized. A person who is "naked" is trying to hide something and can't. A person who is "nude" is completely in charge of the situation. A person who is "nude" is that way because s/he wants to be. Hmmmmm....I would agree with your definitions here but I would have to add that "naked" also has a sexualized connatation that doesn't necessarily relate to being chastised or victimized. For example....I would never turn to a guy in the middle of a hot n' heavy make-out session and during the throngs of passion say "Let's get nude". For me, the term "nude" has a very non-sexual meaning. The unclothed body in a classical work of art I would consider to be "nude". The same body posed in sexually suggestive or explicit poses might be considered "naked". Nude, or naked.......both are good!! (without the shame or vicitimization bit of course) Perhaps now we could discuss the varying degrees of nudity/nakedness. For example, what is the real difference between "naked" and "buck naked" ??...... Whey sey anything ... Juist slowing brgin tirring yese clothes aff... :tasty: Gabriel...

Cleobethra Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I'm just gonna say it..I have got to say it. I have a deadly serious fantasy that involves a man in a kilt. I will experience this fantasy before I die. I swear to all things in creation, I will make this happen. I won't get into it much, because this isn't the Over 18 area.. But a man with dark hair, fierce eyes wearing nothing but a kilt, sitting on a rocking chair.. Ooooh ..*dies* Bethy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still say a prayer for you daily. Well, everyone on this site really helps raise my spirits. I just don't know what I would do without you all. I thought I'd die without my Mom in my life. She was my best friend my entire life. But all of you help me through it. I'm thankful for that. By the way, Suz, I'm going into the GALS name thread and change your name for you. So we can keep the list as accurate as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greyeyegoddess Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Wow! I need to check this thread more often! Thanks Fiona for teaching us those words and their other meanings...although I am so bad with the written word, I'll have to be reminded...nude, naked, no clothes, nothing underneath (whoops that could mean something else!) And just a tidbit...even the beach boys sang about how they wished all girls could be California girls!! Yup, we are the bestest!

turqeyes Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) Was there ever a real answer as to why true Scotsmen go nekkid under their kilts? I know they are supposed to wear their white shirts long as to cover things but now the boys over there wear tee shirts, and this gets interesting. And me without a pair of patent leather shoes~!!!

turqeyes Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 : Thank you Gabriel, post #13- yes, not only does that explain it... but it puts into focus all the benefits of going without. (both health and preferential). I love it!! And it is timely indeed, as it will be helpful at Dressed to Kilt on 4/3. Gabriel...I do have one other question, if you don't mind? Last year everyone asked me if I were Scottish at that event. Is there a cheeky way to answer them that will be both amusing and brief. Last year I was like: "No I'm not Scottish" "I admire somone who is...um.. Gerry Butler...no he doesn't know me" That sucked. So if you can think of a witty and not long reply to the "Are u Scottish" question, I will be in your debt. And thanks for the heads up on the heads under kilt question...................................... Donna :inlove: :mopboyerik: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turqeyes Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 But you didnt answer my question, Gabriel...or is it that I have to think of my own witty comeback. I can you know, but it would be way' New York and I was hopin for a more highland-response. I can ask Dave the tour guide too, he lives in the Highlands... so now 2 Scottish guys can think I'm nuts. :headspin: :: I get a little nervous in the face of celebrities sometimes and I know that I shouldn't...that's why God invented cosmopolitans- the feminine way to combat the pre-event jitters Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
