Do we Desire Naturist Naturist Labels? Or Can We Only Hang out Naked?

Can We merely Hang out in the Nude?

Hang out Naked: Growing up, I never once called myself a naturist It was consistently nudist. I began using this label once http://x-pot.com started FKK, and I Had actually really like it if this turned into the mainstream term for what we love.
As FKK, we consider these terms (normally) interchangeable, but some have their own notion about what each one means or what type of connotation they've. I've heard some say that naturists are more politically active in naturism / naturism beyond just frequenting naturist areas. I've also discovered that in England they use the term 'naturist' to describe someone who takes it more seriously as a lifestyle and goes unclothed daily, constantly.
Some say the word 'nudist' has negative connotations from the past, and today it should be "naturist"! It's not uncommon for the media to misuse the term, correlating it with indecent exposure or improper sexual behavior. It's also not hard to see that "nudists" are frequently made fun of in the media and frequently used to make jokes! I've seen this most with the phrase "nudist colony," which has consistently been used for jokes and undoubtedly has a connotation of being dorky, difficult, and unpopular.
Many people have proposed that we do away with these labels thoroughly because we have moved beyond them, and the words have lost their legitimacy.

Maybe one day we'll reach a stage where we become the "ordinary" ones, and everyone else must call themselves "textilists"! But anyhow, that is after we take over the world. ;)
What do you guys think? Would you enjoy to simply hang out naked? Would you label yourself a nudist or naturist or favor no label whatsoever? Has the word naturist been too beat up over the past few decades to be legitimately used anymore? Would people react differently when you first mentioned it depending on which term you used?
