LIFE WITHOUT SHAME
The Ilmar (plural) or Ilmarin (singular, descriptive) go by many names: savages, barbarians, wildlings. Given their total lack of clothing and their propensity for living in forests, hills, and river valleys, they are viewed by most other races as a lesser developed human subspecies closer to animals than a civilized people. This view is perpetuated... Continue Reading →
Hey naked guys and gals, I'm back from my trip to La Jenny Naturiste Village, and I have to say, Belinda Carlisle was right . . . Heaven is a Place on Earth --- that place, of course, being located on the French Atlantic coast. You can probably guess that this review will be overwhelmingly... Continue Reading →
Nudity in Art and Literature is a new series illuminating often-missed, non-sexual expressions of the unclad body found in books, movies, games, and other mediums from the most recent times to the ancient past. Let's be honest here: we've got enough articles about the virtues of nude living to last us a lifetime. More resort/nude beach... Continue Reading →
In 2012, I came out to the world as a nudist on social media, proudly extolling the virtues of clothes-free living. While most bloggers remain anonymous, never using their real names or posting nude photos of themselves, I always make it a point to practice what I preach, believing we cannot hide who we are...

If you're not into the gaming scene, you may not have heard about Baldur's Gate 3, a D&D-based role-playing adventure for PC and PS5 that won the Game of the Year Award and allows you to play completely naked. That's right. While many nude mods have been made over the years to remove a game... Continue Reading →
Ten years ago, in 2014, I debated someone who insisted, based on his experience, that nudism was either dead or dying (listen to the podcast below). Admittedly, over the past several years, we have seen a worrying decline in organized nudism. Club memberships are down, and many resorts have had to shut their doors, turn... Continue Reading →
The real me! If we ever hope to see a day when the naked body is no longer taboo, if we ever hope to live in a society where not wearing clothes is as common a sight as shorts and sandals, we need to take bold steps and stop hiding who we are. If you... Continue Reading →
When it comes to naturism and naturist families, we need to discuss the elephant in the room; we need to talk about naturist children. Who is really sexualizing children? Is it the textile community forcing toddlers into bikini tops, cults demanding their women cover up for modesty's sake, or natural parents who believe a child's... Continue Reading →
While walking my dog, in mid-conversation with a co-worker, or waiting for a stop light to turn green, I can pull up the most depraved sex acts on my phone (within legal bounds, of course), a scene to make the Roman Emperor Caligula blush. Whatever your fetish, there are infinite options for your viewing pleasure.... Continue Reading →
Yes, it finally happened. After dodging the proverbial bullet for three decades, it finally hit me: the most embarrassing thing that can happen to a nudist. I've hated clothes since I was a kid. Shoes, socks, underwear (shudder): stick to me like leeches. By age twelve, I was stripping down to my bare skin the... Continue Reading →
