LIFE WITHOUT SHAME
While the books of Aenya are no more *about* nudism than A Game of Thrones is about incest, I must admit my naturist worldview plays a significant part in my world-building. Even when my characters are not fully nudist, like Radia and Demacharon in The Princess of Aenya, values inspired by naturism, like respect for nature, play an... 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 →
Have you ever wanted a naturist fantasy-themed coffee mug? How about a bedspread showcasing our intrepid heroine---Thelana---crouched in the treetops, wearing nothing but the leaves in the trees and the sky on her back, spear in hand, ready to hunt some dinosaurs? WELL, THE WAIT IS OVER . . . I’ve partnered with RedBubble to... Continue Reading →
WARNING: RANT AHEAD If you genuinely enjoy reading fantasy---if you delight in the works of Homer, Burroughs, Tolkien, Sanderson, Rothfuss, or any author who dabbles in speculative storytelling, you owe it to yourself to pick up the books in the Aenya Series. But if you're looking to satisfy some voyeuristic urge or wish to justify your... 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 →
