As If You Really Needed Reasons To Become A Nudist ;)
Reasons to be a nudist – Practicing nudism is often misunderstood and misinterpreted by many. However, there are in fact many benefits for being a nudist. An educated understanding and an open mind will unveil the many reasons why people choose to become nudists.
1. Be a nudist because for Nudists, the human body is demystified
Often, we feel intrigued about naked bodies because they are hidden. However, sometimes we fail to understand that the human body is not something so secretive that we can only look at it with immense curiosity, and sometimes even a sense of guilt or shame.
Being a nudist will familiarize people with naked bodies and what they look like. It’s especially great for kids to learn what bodies look like. They’ll grow up without body shame, and they can also learn what their bodies will look like as they get older.
2. Be a nudist because nudists feel more comfortable in their own skin.
Although being comfortable in one’s own skin seems to be a cliché, being a nudist helps people feel more at ease when facing their own bodies.
Under the influence of media, we tend to be overly critical of our bodies, and we try to hide our physical “flaws” with clothes. As such, being a nudist provides the opportunity to accept one’s body as it is.
3. Be a nudist because skinny dipping is more fun!
Skinny dipping and swimming nude is simply more fun because water feels better on bare skin than on a layer of tight swimsuit.
4. Be a nudist because sleeping nude helps maintain the body’s desired temperature.
Sleeping without clothes allows the body to evenly distribute heat.
5. Be a nudist because being nude will help save time.
Since you are not going to wear any clothes, you no longer need to spend time wondering how to put together a presentable outfit. It also means less time and fuss with bathing suits!
6. Be a nudist because nudism promotes social equality.
Without clothes, there are fewer barriers that distinguish people of different social and economic status. In fact, many nudists state that they feel more united with other people as less judgment is imposed.
7. Be a nudist because nudist events are fun!
Naturist groups often organize all kinds of nudist events around activities such as hiking, volleyball, body painting, swimming at the beach and outdoor naked parties. Without the constraint of clothes, we can all have fun in nature.
8. Be a nudist because Sunbathing Nude = No Tan Lines
Nude sunbathing will eliminate awkward tan lines. There is no clothing to create an uneven tanning effect!
9. Be a nudist because Nudists have less of a hassle with laundry.
Being a nudist will automatically lessen your laundry load.
10. By being a nudist you can connect to nature and enjoy the freedom at nudist resorts.
Naturism can really help you get back to nature and connect to the Earth. There are many natural places to go, such as clothing-optional swimming holes in rivers, streams and lakes and other nude beaches or recreation areas.
Plenty of nudist clubs are located in a rural setting surrounded by a forest and hiking trails. Some nudist resorts are also located near a beach. Not only can you enjoy the freedom of being nude, you can also relax with the calming ocean and sand.
Hope we were able to offer some insight to some of the best reasons to be a nudist!

Reasons 1 thru 10 are why I became a nudist. Although #8 is kind of unnecessary as I already have a natural tan (i.e. my genetics). Good read.

Thank you, @NudistMetalHead you can consider yourself very lucky. Those of us with very pale complexions have to work hard to get that tan. And we always finds ourselves living in places like the UK, where the sun is rarely predictable.

We've had a very overcast, rainy, and cool summer this year, so I could not imagine what an English summer must be like, @Brendarella. We rarely hit 25 and nights were as cold as 5 mid-July. Brrrrrr.....

I think Ontario and the UK are on the same latitude and have similar weather patterns. Your description of summer pretty much describes ours so far this year. At one stage, we were first a few days of mild weather only to end up getting clipped by the tail-end of Hurricane Gert.

Not so sure about no9. Yes there are less clothes to wash but more towels as well. So it ends up about the same.
