"There's something therapeutic about nudity. Clothing is one of the
external things about a character. Take away the Gucci or Levi's and
we're all the same. But not when the
nanny is around. But I will with my wife and kids."
- Kevin Bacon speaking of his preference to be nude at his home.
Isn't nudism is a sin
against God and/or nature.
That's my favorite, since the
self-righteous "Radical Right" often attempts to use the "family
values" theme against us. In general, I've met better christian
families in nudist settings, than I have around those bozos. I'm a
conservative christian republican myself, but PLEASE don't put me in
the "Radical Right" category.
Out of curiosity a year or so ago, I
attended the hearings on a nudity ordinance for our county. The huge
crowd surprised the hell out of the commissioners. It had to be held
in a large auditorium in two sessions, with circus style press and
television coverage. An elderly woman protester from the other side
stopped me as I headed in and asked where I was seating. She wanted to
make sure she wasn't sitting with "those people" by accident and
couldn't tell one group from the other. I smiled and remarked how
right she was about that.
Ok, people have the right to believe
what they want, but they ought to get their facts straight. Read the
pages "The Bible, Society, and Nudity". The author has done an
excellent job of looking at nudity from the christian perspective. As
with any technical problem, Read The Fine Manual, before you call in
technical support.
I can't speak for what other
religions believe, but if you try to nail nudism down as a sin based
on the Bible, you're going to have to stretch things more than a
little. As to nudism being a sin against nature. That one is too
bizarre to figure.
Isn't nudism
erotic, leading people toward sin?
Doesn't wash. A day at a nude beach
or at a nudist resort is less erotic than a day at most beaches. This
is hard for many people to believe, but in my view, true. You're less
likely to be aroused when there isn't all that high fashion swimware
calling attention to every curve and shape. No bright colors, no
peek-a-boo coverage of those "forbidden zones". The attitude and dress
of textile (yeah, that's what we call them) beachgoers says "look at
me" . The atmosphere at a nudist club or beach says "talk to me".
Besides, at least for men, being
naked in front of others is naturally suppressive. The fear of calling
attention to oneself inappropriately keeps Mr. happy in check. Natural
social instinct works, as I'm sure it did long before "modern"
civilization started to think it knew better. I know it's hard to
believe, but it's no trick.
Doesn't nudism
attract perverts and undesirables?
In general, any activity marginalized
by the prevailing culture is likely to attract others who have been
marginalized for other reasons. But most nudists and their
establishments tend to be pretty conservative, if for no other reason
but to stand apart from other marginalized groups. People looking for
sex or titillation will not feel welcome.
Due to the family nature of most
resorts, clubs, and groups, anyone felt to be a threat to children is
going to be out the gate very quickly. Beyond that, the police will be
called, and the offender better hope they hurry. Charges will be the
least of his problems.
Short Reading About Nudist Culture
Ten Tips for First Timers
1. For your first time, go to a naturist resort (ie: one which is set in wide, open natural surroundings) - possibly a campsite with caravan and cabin stay. The great thing about these is that they are relaxed, with plenty of privacy when required, and they generally have a central area with spas and seating where you can relax, socialise, and be among like-minded people. Spend a bit of money and go somewhere nice. This trip will set the tone of all your future nudist endeavours. You only have your first time once, so make it good!
2. Go somewhere at least a few hours drive from where you live. There are two reasons for this. (1) It lessens the chance of your seeing anyone you know - it's much easier to strip for the first time with only strangers around (trust me - any nudist will agree). Also, (2) it lets you feel that you are away from all the daily stresses and conventions of life. This should be a vacation, and a vacation is much more fun when you actually vacate your usual haunts. Also, you'll be more inclined to follow through if you make the whole experience into an adventure.
3. This one's for the nervous men out there. Guys, I know what you're thinking, and it involves the behaviour (or lack thereof) of your pee-pee. Let me reassure you…you will not spend your entire visit to a nudist/naturist resort with an erection. Believe me, you are no more likely to be erect after you've disrobed than you are walking around in your suit-and-tie. Granted, you may very occasionally become semi-erect (or even fully erect), but no more so (and probably less) than you would in fully clothed circumstances. So stop worrying about it. It simply will not be a problem. Any nudist will back me up on this one.
4. Take a "security blanket". Your "security blanket" is something non-obtrusive which you can discretely use to cover your genitals. You won't actually use it, but it'll make you feel a bit better during your first five minutes of nakedness. For my first time, I took a guitar, which I could kneel down over and play (thereby covering some key areas of my body) if required. Some other forms of a "security blanket"' could be a towel (not worn, but carried), a big satchel, a large cooler box, a deck chair, or a picnic blanket. I'm sure you can think of something.
5. Flirting/being flirted with can be uncomfortable or intimidating even when clothed. When you're naked, it can be even worse. As any experienced nudist will tell you, nudism has nothing to do with sex, and flirting with strangers is frowned upon. Feel free to be affectionate with your established partner, but please respect others' desire to be comfortable. If someone is flirting with you and you are feeling uncomfortable, do something about it, which makes it clear that his/her attentions are not welcome. If you feel like you are being harassed let the owners or staff know, and they will deal with the problem. This said, neither my partner nor I have ever encountered this. Apparently, it is more likely to happen on nudist beaches (which are free-to-access by all kinds of people, including gawkers - clothed individuals who like looking at nude people). That's why we only go to places which are somewhat out of the way (in terms of location), and where you have to pay to stay.
6. Pack at least two items of clothing: a comfy, button-up long-sleeved shirt (casual flannel is fine) and a pair of slops (or thongs, as they are sometimes called). I also usually take a jersey and a pair of sunglasses.
7. Two words: sun cream!
8. Two more words: insect repellent.
9. And two more. Bring book. Um, ok, maybe the concept needs a few more words to be fully articulated, so here goes. You are probably going to spend a fair amount of time sitting in the sun and reading. To do this, you will probably need reading material. I usually bring several books and magazines, but I am something of a readaholic.
10. Don't try to loose 3kg off your buttocks/wax your pubic region into a perfect "v"/madly exfoliate your buttocks just because you will be going naked in front of strangers. Believe it or not, nobody will care how you look (except for commenting on that interesting piercing), and you will find that body shape, size or texture will cease being important in your interaction with others. I'm sure a psychologist could explain this phenomonon, but I'm not a psychologist. All I know is that this is very true - being naked makes all of these issues…unimportant. You'll see.

The Naturist materials on this nudist Website are legal in every city, every state and every county inside the United States. They are protected by the First Amendment and are not subject to local obscenity laws or ordinances. The depiction of adults and children nude in the visual media has enjoyed constitutional protection in the United States since 1958, when the Supreme Court vacated a Court of Appeals finding that Sunshine & Health magazine could be obscene (Sunshine Book Co. v. Summerfield, Postmaster General, 355 U.S. 372). The right to depict adults and children in innocent nude poses has been upheld without a pause for 41 years. In case after case, the Supreme Court and lower courts have always upheld the constitutionality of "nudity without more," specifically referring to the nudist depiction as a fully constitutional form of expression. Our picture and video galleries are widely promoted in all of United States, Canada, Asia, Europe, South America, Canada, Australia and Africa amond most major countries. The only exception may be countries where nudity of any kind is banned, i.e. Iraq, Syria, and Iran. |
