Hello shoaib-ga,

I have selected some websites and excerpts for you. Please visit the
websites directly if you want more thorough information.

“The purpose of nude recreation is to feel the sun and the air caress
your body, and enjoy the freedom.”
Source: Women in Nude Recreation
http://www.fanr.com/woc/winr.htm

“It is about body acceptance, age acceptance, freedom, breaking shame,
increasing self confidence and celebrating God's greatest creation.
Nude Recreation is fun, healthy and good for the soul. It exposes the
whole body to the air and sun, and gives people an added incentive to
be fit.”
Source: Why Nude Recreation?
http://www.naturists.com/Why.html

“They win exhilarating freedom, blissful relaxation, and solid comfort
with their bodies and others. Women, however, are the main winners,
because women especially have been taught to be alienated from their
bodies and their power.”
Source: A Women’s View: Who Wins in Nude Recreation?
http://www.lupin.com/whowins.html

“One of the great pleasures of life." "The freedom to be me." "The
total sensations of sun, air and water." "Surprisingly relaxing." "No
more soggy swimsuits." "A direct connection with nature." "Rearranges
the gender-power equation." "An invaluable reality check." "The
feeling of total acceptance." "A truly spiritual experience."”

It does appear that most nudists agree that the purpose of Nude
Recreation is not for finding sexual partners etc.
“Naturists believe sex is a normal, healthy part of life, but one that
should be enjoyed by consenting adults in private. They believe
clothes-optional beaches, resorts, or social gatherings are
inappropriate places for sexual activity. They recognize that while
nude is not lewd, public sex is offensive to many people, and almost
always illegal.”
http://www.naturist.com/utilities/faq.htm

There are also many people who believe that nude recreation has no
purpose:
"The Roman Catholic church has taught in convent schools that it is
sinful to expose your body even to your own eyes. The wearing of
clothes represents a form of submission to prevailing mores. It is
like putting on a 'citizen's uniform' and agreeing to play the game."
(by Seymour Fisher as quoted by naturist.com)

where nudists post their pics and a comment or story to their pics you
probably get the answer.
