So . . . I had a rough night last night. I didn't go to bed until 4:30 am and I am usually in by 2:00. Since learning about Stéphane Deschênes ban from Patreon over accusations of "Child Sex Abuse Material," I have become increasingly worried about the legal repercussions of my lifestyle. While naturism/nudism has been legally... Continue Reading →
Reimagining Ilmarin Sex and Culture
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 →
La Jenny Naturiste: A Review of Naked Bliss in France
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: Planet of the Apes
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 →
Exploring a Naked World in Baldur’s Gate 3
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 →
The Slow Death of Shame
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 →
Children in Naturism [podcast]
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 →
Where is all the naturist media?
While walking my dog, in mid-conversation with a co-worker, or waiting for a stoplight 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. Looking... Continue Reading →
“Caught by Mom!” A True Nudist Story
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 →
Non-Sexual Nudity and the New Normal
For a moment, I thought I had a brilliant idea. Since nudist and naturist appear to have been co-opted by p@rn, I figured we needed a new name. First and foremost, what we do is NOT about sex! That's the whole point of the lifestyle and an important distinction for me and the tiny percentage... Continue Reading →
