About nonshy

nonshy is a social network designed for confident, out & proud nudists and exhibitionists who aren't afraid to include a face pic along with their nudes. We are a community made up of:

Basically, if you've already been sharing nudes on places like Twitter, Reddit or Onlyfans, you're probably our kind of people. And if you're kinda new to this whole thing, this could be a good place to explore! This website was designed by a life-long nudist, exhibitionist and software engineer to create a safe space for like-minded individuals online.

What's different about nonshy

There were three core ideas behind the creation of this website:

• We want to know that every member is a real human being by requiring a "Certification" photo to be submitted to the admin.

  In practice this just means you take a selfie that shows your face and you're holding a note on paper that looks like the same face as you put on your profile page (and you can even make that profile pic 'friends-only' if you want!)

• And those members will share only their own self pictures to their gallery.

  You may post photos (and animated GIFs!) on your gallery and share them with the whole (certified) site, with friends-only or keep them private to share on a case-by-case basis with someone. You get to control who sees which pictures, and go at your own pace on your nudist journey.

• And we are sex-positive here and erotic content is permitted in designated areas.

  Unlike some other nudist sites that forbid any displays of sexuality (even something so scandalous as an erection, heavens forbid!), on nonshy we know that humans are sexual creatures (and we're all consenting adults here), so feel free to show off your horny side too if you like. Just mark those photos as 'Explicit' so that nudists who prefer not to see that stuff don't have to!

We basically don't want any of those faceless, blank profiles that plague so many other sites that we nudists are on: the creepers who come on just to gawk at our nudes and then slide into our DMs and get all pervy and weird on us -- when they aren't even sharing a single picture of themselves in return!

At the same time, nonshy aims to be supportive of nudists no matter how far along they are on their naked journey. We offer a lot of privacy controls so you can decide what parts of you are shared with who. You could for example share faceless body shots on 'public' (certified members only), share your face pics for 'friends only' and maybe put a dick pic on 'private' and share those only with specific members (and you can revoke access, from one or all, at any time).

We've already watched as some of our members slowly tiptoed in to sharing nudes with us and have since come a long way, coming out of their shell as they gained confidence and progress on their journey into nudism.

Naturally, you must be 18 years or older to sign up for this website.

Our most interesting features

Custom built around those core ideas, nonshy has some unique features to support keeping shy lurkers at bay and giving members a lot of control over how comfortable they are and with whom they share their photos.

Webcam Chat Room

nonshy's webcam chat room was built from the ground up to support the needs of this website.

Some of the interesting features of the chat room include:

• You may turn on your camera and microphone and tune in to cameras shared by other chatters.
  • You may require your viewers to also share their own video before letting them see yours, if you mind 'lurkers' watching but not sharing theirs back.
  • You may automatically open your viewer's camera too if they are sharing. Coupled with the previous option, when they open your cam you'll also see their video too automatically.
  • You can boot people off your camera if you don't want them to watch. From then on, they won't be able to see that your cam is even still on! Being booted looks indistinguishable to you simply turning your camera off.
• Blank, faceless profiles ("Shy Accounts") will not be able to watch your webcam or see any pictures you shared on chat.
• See more on the Features page.

Safety Features, Especially for Women

nonshy offers privacy and safety features that are designed to help protect vulnerable minorities, especially women who tend to have their inboxes spammed by too many men on almost every website they sign up on, especially on a nudist website!

A few of our privacy & safety features include:

Set the visibility of your Gallery Photos

For each photo on your gallery, you can set it to "Public" visibility (where any logged in, certified, non-shy member can see), put them on "Friends only" so only your approved friendships can see, or set them to "Private" where you can selectively share your private pictures on a per-person basis (and you can revoke that permission, from one or all, at any time).

Control who is allowed to slide into your DMs

If you wish to avoid your inbox being spammed by a bunch of unsolicited messages from strangers, you can limit your DMs to "Friends only" or even close your inbox completely. You are able to start conversations and carry on with chats that you have already started. This option can put the control of your inbox in your own hands.

Our chat room also features the ability to "Ignore unsolicited DMs" from others which prevents people from starting a chat with you, while still allowing you to reach out first and chat with them (if their DMs are not also closed!)

Control who is allowed to comment on your Photos

In case you worry that strangers may leave lewd or horny comments on your plain old nudes, you can limit who is allowed to add comments to your photos. Again, you can allow only your approved Friends to comment or you can turn off your gallery comments entirely.

Blocking people goes a long way here

When you Block somebody on nonshy, the website will draw a hard line between the two of you and make it appear that the other no longer exists on the website at all. You won't see each other on the Member Directory, in the Chat Room, any comments or forum posts by the other person will be gone; it will look to them the same as if you had fully deleted your account, and vice versa.

If a nonshy member is being rude or abusive to you, please also report their behavior to the website admins. We take a strong stance against bullying and abusive behavior. In the mean time, Blocking is a very effective tool at your disposal.

Keeping the Certified, but "Shy Accounts" at Bay

So we have the Certification process, but discovered an interesting phenomenon where some members would sign up, get certified and all, but then every single picture on their gallery was 'friends-only' or 'private' so that they appeared to most of us to look the same as a blank, faceless profile.

This site will automatically consider such people to be "Shy Accounts" and, while they are still full members, some restrictions are placed on who they can contact on the site. For example, they can not slide into the DMs of a non-shy member or see any of our photos. Shy Accounts can freely message other shy members, send friend requests to anybody (and then see their photos), and talk to us on the Forums.

On the chat room, Shy Accounts can not watch any webcam and they can not broadcast their own camera either. Also, they can not see any images people share on chat, or share any image of their own. This is because many people on chat will be on webcam and it is a common concern that they don't like these "blank, faceless profiles" to be lurking on their camera when they aren't sharing even a single photo of themselves in return.

Participation is encouraged

Our ideal member is one who is boldly sharing several full-body nudes with face that could be seen by any (logged-in) certified member on the site.

If you're not so bold, that's OK! There are a lot of notches of comfort zone between "Shy Accounts" and our ideal members. Hopefully, we can be a valuable place to explore and grow no matter where you're at on your naked journey.
