i encountered this article on "Naturism Lifestyle" and it brought this site to my awareness. it seems rather gimmicky, and easily coopted into pornography, but maybe i'm being pessimistic. check it out, make your own verdict. here's the article:

In the digital age, online platforms cater to every niche imaginable, and naturism is no exception. NudeTube has emerged as a unique video hosting service dedicated to nudists, naturists, and those who embrace body positivity. Unlike mainstream platforms, it fosters a judgment-free zone where the nudist lifestyle can be shared, celebrated, and explored through video content. Let's dive into what makes NudeTube a distinctive space in the naturist community.

A Haven for Authentic Expression
The philosophy of NudeTube centers on creating a space where nudists can authentically express themselves without the fear of censorship or misunderstanding. For naturists, mainstream platforms often pose challenges, with restrictive content guidelines that lump naturist content alongside inappropriate or exploitative material.

NudeTube flips the narrative. It's not about shock value or voyeurism — it's a safe, moderated community where members share travel vlogs, lifestyle tips, artistic endeavors, and educational content. By normalizing nudity in a respectful context, NudeTube underscores the naturist values of freedom, acceptance, and harmony with nature.

Content Diversity and Creative Freedom
What kind of videos thrive on NudeTube? The possibilities are as vast as the naturist lifestyle itself. From tutorials on how to plan a nudist hike to personal stories about discovering naturism, the platform supports a wide range of themes. Nudist resorts and communities use it to showcase their amenities and events, while independent creators upload content ranging from cooking in the nude to crafting art inspired by the human form.

Moreover, NudeTube serves as an educational tool, providing insights into naturist etiquette, the philosophy behind nudism, and its health benefits. By prioritizing education alongside entertainment, the platform builds bridges to those curious about adopting the naturist lifestyle.

Navigating Ethical Boundaries
A question often raised is how NudeTube ensures its content aligns with naturist values. The platform employs strict moderation policies to ensure that videos reflect the core tenets of naturism — non-sexualized nudity, mutual respect, and inclusivity. Creators are vetted, and the community-driven reporting system ensures that inappropriate or exploitative content is swiftly removed.

This commitment to ethics distinguishes NudeTube from platforms that may blur the lines between naturism and adult entertainment. By fostering transparency and maintaining high standards, it positions itself as a credible and trusted space for naturist media.

Empowering Naturist Communities
NudeTube doesn't just offer video hosting — it actively supports the growth of naturist communities. By providing a platform for naturist clubs, organizations, and resorts, it strengthens their outreach and visibility. Events such as World Naked Gardening Day or nudist film festivals can reach a broader audience, amplifying the naturist movement's voice.

For newcomers to naturism, the platform offers a welcoming entry point. Watching videos of real people enjoying everyday activities without clothes can demystify the lifestyle and encourage others to try it themselves.

The Challenges Ahead
While NudeTube's mission is clear, it faces challenges common to niche platforms. Monetization is a pressing concern; naturist content creators often struggle to earn revenue due to advertisers' cautious approach. NudeTube has begun exploring sustainable models, including membership plans, ad partnerships with naturist-friendly businesses, and crowdfunding for creators.

Another hurdle lies in public perception. Despite naturism's rich cultural and historical roots, misunderstandings about the movement persist. NudeTube's success depends on its ability to educate the broader public while protecting its niche from misrepresentation or exploitation.

NudeTube represents a bold step in the evolution of naturist media, offering a platform as diverse as the community it serves. As the world becomes increasingly digital, platforms like NudeTube could redefine how naturists connect, share, and inspire.

By fostering authenticity, embracing diversity, and navigating challenges with care, NudeTube paves the way for a future where naturism is not only celebrated but fully understood. It's not just a video hosting platform — it's a beacon for the naturist lifestyle, shining a light on the beauty and simplicity of living naturally.

I wish the Nudistory guy was still making his videos, this would make the perfect place to host it. And also Naked Blogger, she eventually got axed from Youtube after lasting a lot longer than I thought she would.

Some good documentaries are up there but the AI upscaling has very mixed results, though I appreciate the effort. I wish someone could find a better copy of the BBC's "Let's Go Naked." Great doc but the only copy of it online is in terrible quality.

And it looks like Let's Go Naked is not longer on Youtube.

Interesting site, looks fairly new but already experiencing bandwidth problems. Agree with the AI up scaling on older movies, it looks dreadful.

Quick thoughts


I like that it looks alot like YouTube, easy user interface.

It did take a while to load the front page.

I clicked on a 3 minute video and loading was not quick (like a minute for all pictures and text to load and video to buffer). Video kept stopping to catch up and load. Wonder what is the wait time for long videos.

I wonder what the moderation is going to be like? I am not just talking about putting porn, criminal videos but declaring what is "nudism" videos vs just videos of naked people. What about spam (Onlyfans)? Can I put non naked videos on here? What is ban-able offensive?

I can not even look at the FAQ without creating an account!


I'll explore some more and add more thoughts

I think it's great that there is a website like this, which I believe could be ideal for showing the whole world that nudism is not perverse and can be integrated into normal life.

I clicked on a video showing a family preparing for Christmas Eve as if it were the most normal thing in the world (to do so naked). I think that videos like this should be shown to every nudism skeptic so that they understand (get a feeling) or think about the fact that nudity should or could actually be the norm and that society's expectation that people wear clothes always and everywhere, is an absurd development.

I wish there were many more sites like this (which show that nudity is something natural, normal, and not perverse), and they should be accessible to everyone without restriction (by which I don't mean that anyone should be able to publish videos containing nudity without restriction, because naturism should not be mixed with pornography).
However, I would find it even better if sites such as YouTube allowed the viewing of non-sexual nudity for everyone without registration.

For me, it worked very smoothly.

These are very interesting and important questions. The fact that the site is so limited without registration is a negative point.

What also casts a negative light on the whole thing is that there is no free membership:

Quote from: https://nudetube.tv/aboutAs of 6/7/25, you can only join the site as a paid member.
Quote from: https://nudetube.tv/joinIn order to join NudeTube, get access to our complete video library, and get your Premium account, you must join our sister site: Nudist Nation and upgrade to Premium membership there ($36/year or $3/month). It is the most genuine nudist social community out there with members from over 35 countries and ages ranging from teens to seniors.

I understand that the project has to be financed somehow, but in my opinion there are better models for this (e.g. advertising, donations).
Even if $3/month isn't that much, I think it somewhat contradicts the goal:
Quote from: https://nudetube.tv/joinOur goal is to show the world that living clothes-free is normal, healthy, and great for all ages.
If you have to pay for it, in my opinion it is no longer something normal, but rather something exclusive (which is also reflected in the name "premium account").
Why should one be willing to pay for something normal, and besides, it makes it even less interesting for people who have not been interested in naturism up to now.

Most "nudist" sites have some kind of "premium" option which pretty much locks most of the features behind a paywall. This one ain't different.
As for the site performance.. the owner claims it's hosted on a server with limited bandwith and when it runs out, the site becomes borderline unusable.

It seems not to exist anymore. At least I can't access it (don't know since when, because I haven't tried since my last comment).

Aresy

It exists. The admin changed the domain and now it's pretty much inaccessible to people from "outside". Need a premium account and all.
