La nudità collettiva, banale e familiare, praticata da nudisti e naturisti, è forse sostenuta e diffusa da molti mezzi di comunicazione? Persone influenti la additano forse come modello da seguire? È un modo di vivere la vita comunemente propugnato? No, al contrario: il senso comune, le grandi ideologie, le religioni, le norme di numerose società più o meno civili sostengono piuttosto la cosiddetta pudicizia e tendono a sviluppare schemi mentali che associano la nudità alla vergogna, al sesso e al peccato. Con questa situazione è inevitabile che i mass media finiscano per dare risonanza alla minoranza di nudisti libertini, i quali non soltanto soddisfano gli ipocriti appetiti voyeristici del pubblico di certe trasmissioni o di certe riviste, ma al tempo stesso rassicurano i benpensanti, confermandoli nella loro idea che la nudità collettiva può essere praticata soltanto per scopi sessuali. In definitiva, si può dire che libertini e moralisti costituiscono le due facce della stessa medaglia: per entrambi la nudità è il mezzo per fare sesso. Ma la prova dei fatti dimostra che questa medaglia è una patacca fasulla!
In effetti, però, il nudismo non è soltanto una pratica balneare. A ben vedere, la nudità non è semplicemente il mezzo per apprezzare meglio gli elementi naturali quando si fa il bagno, quando si cammina all’aria aperta o quando si prende il sole. La liberazione offerta dal nudismo è ben più di questo: è la rottura dell’ideologia dominante e retriva che pesa sui nostri corpi e sulla nostra coscienza. Togliersi i vestiti e vivere la naturalezza del proprio corpo nudo significa respingere tutti quei condizionamenti che ogni giorno ci vengono imposti sulla maniera in cui dovremmo apparire, sulle mode che dovremmo seguire, sui canoni di bellezza ideale cui il nostro corpo dovrebbe aspirare. Mettersi nudi vuol dire rifiutare i sensi di colpa, di inadeguatezza e di vergogna che purtroppo vengono ancor oggi mantenuti in vita da una concezione distorta della nudità.
Sia chiaro: non voglio dire, ovviamente, che tutti dovrebbero convertirsi al nudismo o che solo il nudismo è in grado di promuovere gli anzidetti valori. Intendo dire semplicemente che la società dovrebbe ormai riconoscere con serenità che il nudismo, lungi dall’essere un’espressione del male, della perversione o dell’esibizionismo, è al contrario una manifestazione positiva della nostra umanità: non un reato da perseguire o un peccato da condannare, dunque, ma un modo di vivere la vita che va rispettato e valorizzato, in quanto capace di educare la società contemporanea a riscoprire l’importanza dell’essenziale, del vero, del semplice, del naturale. Del nudo. Liberamente ispirato a riflessioni svolte su Nu Nature et Naturisme pour un 21ème siècle humaniste et naturiste. |
 Its a pretty catchy song too.

 Capable, Not Disabled | The Alltogether http://www.aanr.com/blog/capable-not-disabled/
“Why do we as humans rather wear hot sticky clothing, thereby making ourselves uncomfortable? I watched the group swim and we all walked the short distance back to the house. I told them how much I felt relieved. It was this feeling of oneness with nature. One of them said, “Yep, this is what being a naturist all about.” Being nude is just an afterthought. In fact, after the first few minutes, I was very relaxed. I didn’t think about it. I learned a valuable lesson. The lesson is that mother nature intended people to spend time outdoors, not indoors. We can carry out normal activities without clothes. This moment was very therapeutic for me. It was very empowering indeed. I use the word “disabled” as a medical term but we are all “CAPABLE” of becoming a nudist.” |

Legalize Nudity created by Israel’s Tohm Lev came out in 2011 to promote Naturism and the desexualization of nudity. There were three versions made for the song and all will be provided below. Also included will be a link to Canadian Naturist Living Show’s Interview With Tohm about the song and more about herself. Hope you enjoy! Cheers!Official Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIS95SZOq_k (This version is “age restricted” by Youtube so you have to be logged in)
Original version (lyrics): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bF9AR6qTaQ Techno/Electronic Remix by Dui. B: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY0RbeiP_Vk Naturist Living Show Episode XLVI – Performing Nude with Tohm Lev:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6r1la0Ay2M (The interview starts at 19:10) One thing to note is that the official video is not what Tohm wanted the video to be as you will hear in the interview. The original video (second link) was more to what she wanted. I think that this maybe appropriate in the “Blogs, Videos, Articles about Naturism/Nudity” section of the forum. |

So, here I am reading all these other stories of folks in their different walks of life. Some are straight, some are gay. I’m a nudist. I think that I live an alternative lifestyle as much or more than gays and lesbians do. I’m certainly misunderstood more than they are. They see themselves as normal fine citizens who happen to love someone who is of the same gender. And…… Why….is….that….wrong? Outside of the mainstream ideal perhaps. But, they are real and genuine. So am I. I’m straight. I am not homosexual or homophobic. But I do live an alternative lifestyle by identifying and openly calling and identifying myself as a nudist. This is something I think I was born to be. There are some folks with nudist tendencies, that prefer a more sexual/sensual existence as a “swinger” or “life-styler”. I personally, prefer the family-friendly PG-13 rated type of nudist existence. I feel that I have transitioned away from needing to wear clothes, to wondering why we wear them at all, if not for protection from the elements or our direct environment. Why do we wear clothes at all? Why must we be so compulsive about covering our bodies? And, why must so many people label us as weirdoes or deviants just because we don’t buy in to the concept that you have to wear clothes?
Folks who sexualize simple nudity were probably raised with guilt issues or shame which makes nudity a taboo subject, and therefore, naughty or perverse. That concept is wrong about nudists. I personally enjoy taking myself to my most basic element, my nude self and living like that. Accept me for who I am with all my flaws and imperfections literally laid bare. Don’t judge me by my appearance or the trappings I might hide behind (like clothing). Down to my most basic element, just take me in the skin I was born in. That should be enough. Determine my worth as an individual by the way I conduct myself, by the way I act, or the words I select to speak. Those, my friends are the true windows into my soul. I was born to be a nudist. I am completely nude as I write this. The next time that you see a person who lives their life outside the mainstream, ask yourself, “Are THEY the new normal?” Don’t think the worst of me because I’m unclothed. Think the best about me because I no longer hide behind them and see me for the real person I am. Love. Peace. Nudity. Thanks for reading. |
