Normalizing nudity will take time. Meanwhile, we should respect the laws that make sense and challenge those that are oppressive. On public lands that allow nudity, remember to stay in secluded areas. By being respectful of boundaries, no matter what we think of them, we might win over public favor. If you are in an area that technically doesn’t allow nudity, you should cover up or ask if you may continue on with your nude recreation should someone else arrive.


By setting a good example, you can help erase the media-fueled perception that nudity equals sex and can promote the idea that the naked body is actually wholesome.

 

Biggest battle is against bad perceptions of nudity from different cultures/religion/conservatives/prudes that are reinforced by the ever stigmatizing American media that give too much emphasis on sexualizing anything and everything for profit.

It would be nice to hear about some negative sides of naturism. And ways to fight them... If there are some...

  Everyone needs to read this. If they would there wouldn't be as many stereotypes about the naturist philosophy and maybe more people would try it.

I also think everyone should read this.

That was a great read.  I think that would make a good advertisement for naturism!

being naked and comfortable being naked is important
