Why Germany’s nudist culture remains refreshing

So as best I can tell, dw.com is an on-line magazine dedicated to helping ex-pats, especially Brits, understand life and culture in Germany. In this installment, they take on the cultural norms surrounding social nudity in Deutschland, along with a brief history thereof. An embedded slideshow walks you through the last one-hundred years of naked […]

I Went to a Nudist Festival for Millennials

To find out what young people get out of being naked. I’m a little reluctant to post this article from VICE (an online magazine) as the author points out one of the awkward truths about naturism – that’s attendees at such events are frequently predominantly male. As one of the objectives of this blog is […]

What Nudism is Really Like

Found this post as a Retweet from @carley_sudlow, which led me back to the University of Washington student newspaper, where a talented young author named Charlotte Houston wrote the startlingly insightful analysis of why people engage in social nudity – with a little help from her friends in the Psychology Department. One of my favorite […]

Naked, with Children

Was actually about to put up a more recent post on this subject which, in the last place, I found to be so indecisive that I – as a confirmed naturist and father of three children – came away more confused than before I read it. So I did a quick web search for “nudity […]

The Joys of Sharing Naturism with Others — The Meandering Naturist

Eager to get this blog up and running again, which was intended to highlight some of my opinion pieces, well written blogs from other authors who I think are especially insightful, and pieces from mainstream media that help explain naturism to the unsuspecting public.

Liberation on the Trail — The Free Range Naturist

Have gotten away from this blog in recent months, intended to publish thoughtfully written commentary on naturism, mainly not authored by me. (Though I do throw in one of my pieces every now and again.) This is a great piece about the practicality of naturist hiking that is actually published in three parts. I’ve only […]

Letter of Recommendation: Naturism

While maybe leaning to a bit to the esoteric extreme, it is refreshing to see this recent commentary from the New York Times giving a somewhat muted endorsement for naturism. What is most pleasing, actually, is the author made it through the entire piece avoiding all the typical puns and stereotypish gags about social nudity, […]

Getting Naked in Germany at Vabali Spa Berlin

From travel blogger MOSTLY AMELIE, comes a comprehensive review of one of new spas in Berlin, a city somewhat famous for self-indulgent opportunities and social nudity. A friend just visited the sister spa in Düsseldorf returning with glowing reports, and we plan to spend a day at thos location in Berlin later this spring. The […]

Bare necessities: why I now love nudist beaches

Maybe it’s just me and my particular stage in life, but every time I read a piece by a “pre-mid-life” female that is body and nudity positive, I have a renewed faith in the idealism of naturism. I think this article is particularly persuasive, and maybe… just maybe… will persuade a few more humans to […]
