We say “nakedness is natural”, but have we begun to think through all that means? It is so basic. A human being is an innocent part of nature. Our civilization has distorted this universal question.

There are probably many answers to this question, almost as many as there are naturists. Some like to refer to the fact that they were born that way. Yes, some even try it for the wrong reasons, but it quickly becomes evident that sex is not what it is about. If someone attempts to participate for this reason they are soon disappointed and leave on their own. Respectful and courteous behavior toward others is expected. Disrespectful behavior is not tolerated. Naturism is about freedom, enjoyment, and getting in touch with yourself and the real personality in others. At first it can be an exciting or even fearful experience simply due to the mental attitude or baggage we bring with us. The negatives quickly melt away to be replaced with a wonderful feeling of acceptance of yourself and others.

So What is Nudism?

If we look into the dictionary, we find out, that nudism is: “a movement of nudity promotion and its practicing”. The word has its origin in the Latin “nudo”, that means “naked”. But evermore there is in this connection a more modern term used, and that is “naturism”. It comes from the Latin word natura, that means “nature”.

If with nudism we mean the promotion and practicing of nudity as such, naturism is more concentrating on the return of the man to the nature through his dwelling without clothes in a natural environment of the nature.

We Americans have been brainwashed by our government about nudity being such a bad thing. The guy wasn’t doing anything lewd, and there should be nothing said about it. Just like the girl said in a matter of fact kind of way, ‘Mom, there’s Fred taking a shower outside again.’ we need to act like humans not the naked nazi police

Why do we wear underwears? This is an interesting an worthwhile question. In the medical view point, apart from making us feel secure mentally, underwears serve no other functions. Somebody even feel that underwears are the source of pressure. Somebody have done an experience with monkey, making them wear shorts, the monkey being bound died a week later. There are many kinds of pressure in today’s society, you may put away all other things, using the method of “Naked Sleep” to have a good sleep. Human being originally have the ability to produce enough heat. Also, when our skin touches some cloth, our body will feel warm gradually, and we may eventually fall asleep.
