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 →
Nudism is losing ground in the battle for acceptance. Every day, it seems, we are under attack by social media. Our way of life is perpetually misrepresented, when all depictions of nudity, however innocent, are lumped in with p@rn. Earnest YouTubers promoting the lifestyle are quietly erased. My account was recently flagged with a violation,... Continue Reading →
It isn't easy being a nudist these days---with the algorithm associating all nudity, innocent or otherwise, with porn---and living the lifestyle can be daunting when it comes to friends and family. Few of us are lucky enough to live in a clothing-optional home, and many people I see on Reddit lament having to hide their... 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 →
So a photon checks into a hotel. The concierge says, "Would you like me to take your bags, sir?" and the photon says, "No, I don't have any bags; I'm traveling light." That's us. My wife and I will be traveling light. The other day, I went to Walgreens to purchase our "clothes" for the... Continue Reading →
https://youtu.be/W6aJTHyZXy8 If there was any doubt just how beautiful the human body is, look no further than the Isis Fashion Awards. When these videos first popped up on my YouTube feed, I was quite pleasantly surprised. Not only does YouTube allow this level of exposure on its platform — something for which, hypocritically, I was... Continue Reading →
In the podcast (below), I discuss my participation in the first annual Tarpon Springs Book Fair, changes I've made to my book covers for the sake of wider market appeal, and the challenges posed to a writer who just happens to be a nudist (me) who struggles to overcome the limits put upon us by...

It's finally here!!! The Feral Girl was initially featured on Stéphane Deschênes' podcast, The Naturist Living Show, receiving the most glowing praise I could have asked for. It has also been inducted into AANR's Library at Cypress Cove. But The Feral Girl is far from your average, thinly veiled naturist promotional tale --- rather, it is... Continue Reading →
Notice: I originally wrote this piece in 2017, when Felicity Jones was still active on social media, and my friend Steve from Allnudist.com still graced us with his insight (RIP). When my nudist content migrated over from my literary blog, I neglected to post this because I was never quite happy with it. Over the... Continue Reading →
YouTube claims to allow for non-sexual nudity on its platform, but this is either a straight-up lie, or they simply do NOT understand the concept of naturism. I was banned for a video (below) my wife took of me and the family on a nude beach in Greece, where I can be heard stating, "We... Continue Reading →
