LIFE WITHOUT SHAME
Can a totally nude heroine become a lightning rod for feminism? Or does sex appeal and the gratification of the male gaze distract from messages of equality? I can already hear the detractors, the angry feminists, and, let's just call them "SJWs", calling me out. Their argument, I imagine, will go something like this: Thelana... Continue Reading →
I am passionate about my heroes, Xandr and Thelana, because I share their values, and attitudes, regarding communal nakedness. Since clothing is utterly unknown to their people, the Ilmar, they have no sense of body shame, no understanding, actually, of what it means to be "naked". The Ilmar manage this without any of the problems... Continue Reading →
Truth is . . . the nudist life isn't really that strange; it's just naked-er. Like most people, I wake up, check my phone, hit the bathroom, and make breakfast. After coffee, I do the dishes and take out the trash, then flip open my laptop to work on my book. The only difference between... Continue Reading →
Mykonos is basically sex island, my Greek friend tells me. Once you get off the boat, a random girl will grab you and take you to bed. Sure, I say, rolling my eyes. I didn't believe his promises for a minute, but I'd heard plenty of crazy stories about Mykonos. Yes, it was a place... Continue Reading →
Today was going to be a great day. After FOURTEEN years, my wife and I were taking a trip to Land O' Lakes to visit one of the three nudist resorts in the area. We'd been to nude-friendly islands in Greece and to Hidden Beach Resort in Cancun, but hadn't been anywhere else since we... Continue Reading →
As I was searching through YouTube looking for naturist content, which is quite a rare thing to find, I might add, even on a video sharing platform that seems to have an infinite amount of everything, I came across some unexpectedly interesting "naturist" content. I put "naturist" in quotes here because for most viewers, I'd... Continue Reading →
Millions of people were infected with herpes after a recent law lifting the ban on public nudity. The national death-toll currently stands at 500,000 and counting. And yet, despite this horrible loss of life, nudists have been refusing to put on clothes, demanding that they have the right to frequent public places, like restaurants and... Continue Reading →
So, I am driving down this narrow, rocky road---a road so rocky you can barely call it a road---along the edge of a cliff in my rented Audi with my wife and two kids. Now, I am not a religious person, and I no longer believe in God, but I sure was doing a whole... Continue Reading →
I've recently come under fire for comparing aspects of nudism to the LGBTQ+ community, which you can read about in two of my posts, Heroes of Naturism and Nudity, Censorship, and Discrimination. More than a few Redditors accused me of being insulting, and several "fuck yous" were lobbed my way. Now, social media has never... Continue Reading →
Misconceptions about nudism and nudists are ubiquitous these days, which makes it more difficult for nudists to express themselves, to let their friends and family know who they are. They provide the naysayers of the world a strawman target, and the ammunition to ridicule a minority they know nothing about. In debunking these misconceptions, I... Continue Reading →
