Is Britney Spears a nudist?

Britney Spears seems to have no fear of getting nude often. I think I would classify here as one of those people who is a nudist, but won't accept that label. I would also say that she needs to get nude in appropriate circumstances, because nudity for the sake of shock value or reaction is more what you would call exhibitionism, as opposed to nudism.

Most self-declared nudists get nude in appropriate areas such as nudist resorts or nude beaches, where nudity is expected and where nobody is offended (or if visitors are offended, it their own fault for going there).

Britney is not unique, however, among younger Americans in this regard, she's just much more public. Many teenagers and younger adults in America want to be nude, even be nude in front of others, but too often it is in an obnoxious, exhibitionist way - sometimes drug/alcohol-fueled. Yet another reason we nudists should make a presence on the web and let people know there are places and behavioral frameworks for getting nude in a safe, legal, and healthy way.

The truth is, many celebrities are at least home nudists. Most keep that to themselves, but there are a couple, such as Matthew Mcconaughey who openly admit their love of nudity. Many celebrities secretly visit nudist resorts and beaches and many more sunbathe nude in their private backyards.

Back on Britney Spears...I find it strange, but not surprising that allegations of at-home nudity were thrown into the drama surrounding her child custody hearings. Yes, she's not going to be mother-of-the-year and she's coping with problems in a destructive way, but mere nudity in front of her own children is not abuse, in my opinion. Unacceptable in Western culture? Yes. But abusive? No.

I do wish Britney the best with her troubles. I believe she does care very much for her children though she didn't show up for hearings and does not always outwardly appear concerned. Some people react in a snowballing downward spiral and find new "bottoms" before they come back up.
