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 […]

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. I thought this piece from my twenty-something friend Addie was an […]

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, […]

Having just returned from Thailand, and looking forward to visiting another new naturist resort near Pattaya in the coming weeks, this article from a couple years ago gives an optimistic overview of what we might expect regarding the development of naturist destinations in Southeast Asia. We’re quite a long ways from “topless on the beach” […]

Nudist Couple Becomes Instagram Stars

Not the first time this has happened, but I find it interesting that it’s happening with increasing frequency, and that IG seems to be a bit more lenient, as long you your carefully avoid nipples and genitalia. Maybe a good sign. View original post: 1806 more words FOR MORE RATIONAL THOUGHTS ABOUT SOCIAL NUDITY, VISIT MY […]

My Parents Took Me to a Naked Place — The Meandering Naturist

I’m in France right now, as is my 20-something daughter, but she is not traveling with us at the moment. In fact, she took a beach trip today with several friends and acquaintances – all of whom I know – to just an ordinary beach on the Cote d’Azur. Not long into their stay, off […] […]

Naked Europe covers up

So I think this post is going to set the foundation for another blog post on my other site, The Meandering Naturist, as my personal opinion is that it’s only telling one side of the story. But coming from The Economist, I think this is a real important document that is likely to influence a […]
