    Yes, I do.  You and I see that there is a difference between
"sexual being" and "sex object".  "Sex object" denies the
personhood of the sexual being.  Too many times, I believe,
nudists seem to feel that to view a person as a sexual being is
to think of them as sex objects - a way that some nudists slyly
denigrate and try to deny the sexuality in all of us.
