that once appeared in every family photo album as a regular record of child-

hood and familial relationships as ‘child pornography’ are activated through the
destabilization of the contexts which protect nakedness from being viewed as
sexual, and a return to the biblical and western Christian tradition of viewing the
naked as only sexual.
Only conrm what’s already read as sexual: the exposed genitalia of children
under the gaze of the grownup.
Where the parent/kid authorial relationship once shielded this frame from
being viewed as sexual, the breakdown of the circumstances, the possibility of reading
tion based on this chance, all unite to connect the photographed nude child
as a sexual object. This is far more than a mere conservative swing to pre-20th-
century bourgeois worth of propriety and decency, and far more than a backlash
against the sexual permissiveness and frequent nudity of the 1970s. Instead, this
is a case where an understanding of the instability or inefcacy of ‘circumstance’ — a
symptom of postmodern contemporary culture — accedes to a specific hysterical

conservatism in order to shield society from what might, in the commonsense
view, be considered dangerous, exploitative and trespassing.

J&F: When was the very first time you’re naked in a social setting?

RJ: I said, you’ll need a naked beach, this is the way to run it.’ Actually the children were hang gliding off the top.
I ‘d a sunburned ass the following day.
J&F: Has it changed here over the years in terms of the existence of families and children?
RJ: And I discourage children from comin’ out here because they bring the perverts. I find families with preteen daughters, and I can tell they will pop up all around them. And with all the electronics and gadgets today, it is trouble waiting to happen, and you can not do anything about it. I have gone to the rangers, but if they are not doing anything, there is nothing we can do about it.
J&F: How do you deter it?
RJ: We do not socialize with them. In a naturist camp or club, you’re able to screen individuals coming in. We have caught a man that truly cut a hole in his cooler with a clip camera. That is how insane it is. My attitude is you got the complete planet to take your kids. If there was manner of controlling the perverts, I wouldn’t care. The rangers told us we can’t do nothin’ about it.
J&F: The rangers do not hand out fines and such?
RJ: They’ven’t broken the law. I could stare at you all day, and there’s nothing you are able to do. I could truly have a camera running on you, and there’s nothing legally you can do about it.
J&F: So what do you do, try to scare them away?
RJ: Yeah, but if they call my bluff, I’m not gonna hit em and start trouble. It’s possible for you to regulate at clubs, but here you don’t understand who is gonna walk on. But that is the only negative thing.
J&F: In an ideal world what do u see Ranger World becoming?
RJ: Within my perfect world, I’d simply like to see your generation carry on. Have a good time. Dancing, do what you may enjoy to do. That is it, I don’t have any dream or none of that.
J&F: Would you like to see this section become much larger?
RJ: I’d rather have 50 or 60 great individuals. It is possible to enlarge, but I Had rather have added groups form.
J&F: We know there’s been some play between Friends of Gunnison (FoG) and RW over the years?
RJ: I have seen groups like FoG come and go. They do their thing, we do ours.
J&F: That is a sanctioned nude beach, right?
RJ:
J&F: We know the fed government does not have any laws controlling nudity, but they can be asked by the state to outlaw it, right?
RJ: Yeah, they can close you down tomorrow.

That’s one reason why, God forbid, something happens to a child out here, with some innocent parent. And boom, they say Oh, that is going on out there? We gotta shut it.’
J&F: Well at Hippie Hollow nude beach in Texas, there were all kinds of rumors about sexual activity going on so they regulated it to age 21 and over. Once they did that, it became a absolute swinger position because the existence of children had kept a lot of folks at bay. So it’s an appealing turn where the reverse happened.
RJ: Well, don’t ask me to give a forecast, because I’ll probably be erroneous. I just love the day and time we have. This sand is the best unclothed beach on the eastern seaboard.
We’ve done off-season parties, but it is time for you guys to take action. Enjoy it. Have fun. That is what this is really about. It’s possible for you to sum this interview up with, let’s just have fun.

Family Naturism – Growing Up Nudist

(Guest website)
Family Naturism and Growing Up Naturist
Teen naturists are a new experience for me. As a semi-active naturist, it is a subject matter I read about, and hear constant misinformation about in the mass media, and happen to be hearing the same misinformation and paranoia for over twenty years. It feels as though no one learns from history and treats family naturism as though it’d only started yesterday.

But we understand better, as full time nudists.
Do we really make an effort to talk to our kids about being raised nudist? Or do we just take for granted our lifestyle choice and just leave them to make their own choices? How much do we actually understand in what they’ve gone through?
As a former member of the Hawaii Skinny dippers, we’d no adolescent members. I created a custom that the first teen member to join membership through their parents, or turned 13 as a youngster member, would get a free comic book on their birthday. To this very day, I ‘ve never personally given any free comic books.
Family Naturism
I was prepared to hear everything warts and all. At the risk of sounding negative, I assure my readers any negative statement is intended to point out real concerns in the world of family naturism.
My first interviewee was a girl named Angie, aged 19, one of two college girls working at the Olive Dell Naturist Resort in Southern California. Eatery guidelines say that all workers must be completely clothed, and it must function nicely since their diner has an A rating by the Board of Health.
Upon my three visits, I never saw Angie or her friend participate in any tasks in the nude. Her friend did on my fourth visit, but I reiterate, it was my fourth visit. Angie isn’t opposed to it, she told me. She’s a lot more than willing to drop trough if the situation calls because of it. Nonetheless, neither she nor any of her closest pals at the club call themselves naturists. She feels the label simply is not needed.
Angie were raised at Olive Dell since infancy and was a very energetic nudist as a youngster. She’d see other clubs where there would be about 50 other nudist kids her age during the large events, holidays, assemblies, but some time when she hit puberty, the number of children her age dwindled to five or less.
During this awkward period, she felt pressured to go bare, so she and her buddies rebelled, participating fully clothed during naturist occasions. You don’t see this trend revealed in naturist videos or magazines much, but from my experience it was all too common.
The resort guidelines mandate that one must be totally naked in the swimming pool, Jacuzzi and the deck around it. The veranda just above the pool, the babes felt, can be considered a gray area. Though it is highly recommended that everyone go unclothed, it was generally difficult to enforce. So the outside patio and the adjacent clubhouse becomes the hangout spot for the adolescents.
My boyfriend was very much against nudism after I met him, she says with a laugh. His family was quite apprehensive. After I told my father, he greeted my boyfriend with a knife and fork.

All I see are mature adults. So it is too easy for young people to suppose that in order to stay in business, nudism had to be promoted for an older demographic, regardless of what doctrine they preached. But unlike other young nudists, Angie and her friend are actively involved with the naturist company. Working full time in the cafe gives her a steady paycheck and much insight to the way the club runs. It wouldn’t surprise me if she started running the resort in ten years.
Oddly, she didn’t appear to be aware of websites that promote naturism only to adolescents, since most sites can’t post pictures of adolescents unless they desire to attract COGs (Creepy Old Guys). Being used to meeting babes dragged along by their naturist parents, she seemed surprised after I told her I Had wanted to be a nudist since I was 13. She didn’t think it would be legal for me to have pursued it back then.
Unlike other resorts, Olive Dell has the largest number of young adults I Had ever seen, so the feelings of solitude and isolation does not appear to change the young folks there as it did in my teen years. The youth program is quite strong and quite active, though I had noticed they’re not mentioned in CFI newscasts.
When I brought up all the paranoia surrounding the AANR youth camps in Virginia and other states, Angie and I both had to laugh. There were too many real issues that young naturists must cope with before handling imagined issues which have already been solved by the camp’s rules and regulations.
But the one real problem still remains. Though I don’t error Angie or her pals for remaining clothed until they get some alone time, I do need to wonder if the environment supports her to drop trou as she says.
If there was a continuous inflow of college students, not only the post college work force bunch of Vita Nuda West, would Angie be a more active naturist?
I’d presume so, but it is only a guess. From my observation, the young folks go bare when they are with their own community. There’s still a sense of intimacy related to nudism. And it’d be fine to have us middle aged nudists to show them that you just can be nude without being intimate. It is just a great deal of fun.

The Decline of the Male Nude
The decline in male nudes within the western

the increase in imagery of the female nude

to grow aweary of the Salon-favorable male nude story.
Solomon Godeau goes on to indicate that while
the male nudes exhibited at the Academy tended
to be part of stories, their nudity representati

became increasingly detached from story and developed into its own genre.
10
For example,
consider Ingres’ (1780-1867) paintings

In the seventies, nudity on Bali’s remote and deserted shores was common but with the huge increase of tourism, these beaches have vanished. In 2002 nudity was declared prohibited on Petitenget Beach, the last beach in Seminyak that stood discreet nudity. People started to practice nudity in private villas and resorts, first for gay men only at the Laki Uma Villa and in 2004 the first adult-only fkk resort for both genders, Bali au Naturel, opened its doors and expanded from 3 to 15 rooms and added from two more swimming pools.[60]

Nepal

Although there aren’t any laws regulating nudism, folks may be detained, arrested and fined for public nudity. However, many Hindu male sages practice nudism and they are not officially detained. Fkk sages can be viewed in Pashupatinath.[citation needed]
Thailand

Nudism has been successfully introduced in Pattaya (Chan Resort and more recently La Sala Villa), and several other small nudist resorts are created around Thailand. A gay resort and sauna (Sansuk Hotel) situated in Pattaya now additionally authorizes nudity in and around the swimming pool.[61]
Dilemmas in social nudity
Main article: Dilemmas in social nudity

Naturism addresses, challenges and explores a myriad of occasionally taboo topics: stereotypes and mores relating to the bare look of the human body, mixed sex nudity, personal space, human sexuality, gymnophobia, modesty, physical attractiveness, vanity, objectification, exploitation and consent. It can therefore be controversial. Descamps assembled a list of criticisms of naturism: it’s too chilly; ordinary bodies appear horrible—it’s just for the physically amazing; it is too embarrassing; it is against the laws of nature, against the law, or against faith; “nudism makes me think of sex”; it’s for primitive people or creatures.[8]

Historically the experience and discussion of sexual feelings during naturist activities including dance and gymnastics played an important part in early Germanic naturism and formed part of its ‘favorable’ link with nature. Nonetheless, it was when naturism arrived in the more sexually conservative cultures of the united kingdom and the Usa the expression and discussion of eroticism within nudism became frowned upon.[3]

the primary reason younger folks are not becoming naturists is the inability of modern nudism to participate with the issue of sexuality. While it is true that “nudism became popular in Germany…as a healthy outdoor lifestyle”, this lifestyle also contained a recognition that, socially, nudity could occasionally be erotic.

This statement is in response to the quote “The world of naturism is in trouble. Membership is falling, and fewer young people than ever are becoming involved. Has the fantastic naked experience run its course? “[62]

The relationship between nudism and sexuality is handled through social and spatial segregation. In commercial naturist resorts eroticism and sexuality is controlled by implementing heteronormative values and strict rules and policing. In other environments eroticism is moderated through self-censorship of activities and behaviour. [flv:http://beachnymphs.com/upload/165.mp4 ../../upload/579.jpg 100% 300]

This can make the practice of nudism an isolating, repressive and concerned experience as opposed to a liberating and societal one.
Mainstream naturism relies on discriminatory and dishonest practices to manage sexuality that limits the diversity of the naturist population and presents an image and culture that lacks integrity and transparency.
Mainstream nudism restricts sexual feelings to physical arousal and sexual exploration to deviancy while encouraging a penetrative understanding of sexual behavior. This may limit the educative potential of nudity in expanding our experience and comprehension of sexual feelings beyond the genitals.
Naturist environments can offer exceptional public spaces to investigate sexual feelings and experiences that will be repressed or restricted in traditional public spaces and sexual relationships.
Mainstream naturism may pathologise those who appreciate the eroticism of nudity. An asexual discussion can leave people who experience nudity as erotic feeling uneasy, guilty, defensive and marginalised within the naturist community, in the same manner that popular culture often pathologises and marginalises naturists.
Mainstream nudism may lead to conscious and unconscious repression of sexual feelings and behaviour that limits the relationship between naturism and nature.

In The Naturist World Communicating Is Tough! Notably with Vita Nuda Northeast (VNNE)!

Communicating with Vita Nuda North East in the Naturist World Is Not Simple!
Nudist World – Doing something good for others and the purposes behind these voluntary actions is a issue that’s come up. It’s a topic I believe, at the very least, merits a discussion. People generally are egoistic creatures, which is why the argument continues as to whether or not there’s such a thing as a “selfless good deed.”
Unfortunately I keep finding out that in the nudie world there seems to be an overwhelming number of people for whom their egotism is the chief source behind their activities. So with that in mind let us get to discussing You all understand what we (FKK & Ranger World) went through to set up and promote our Nude Years Eve celebration.
Hours and hours of e-mailing, posting, press releases, contacting sponsors (for our nude charity initiative), reviewing each request that we got to try and weed out the odd balls (excuse the pun) and not to mention the cash that went into putting it all together. Request any one of the organizers (again – FKK & Ranger World individuals) just how much of our hearts and spirits went into creating the naked party, how many e-mails and texts went back and forth at almost every hour of the day.
There is no question that we reached out to as many individuals and organizations as we physically could. We understood that no matter what we’d probably wind up losing money, but for us that was far less significant than bringing folks together and observing our way of life just to have it all come crashing down several hours before the event was supposed to start.
Vita Nude North East’s Negativity In The Nudist World
As soon as we found out, our number one issue was to tell as many people as we possibly could. Hotel bookings would have to be canceled, and individuals who were coming from far away needed to know to make other arrangements. The coordinators, who fronted up all the cash, needed to prepare for whatever lay ahead and try to think of an alternative plan.
Calls were made to everyone we could think of to try and find an alternate site. Eventually about 3 – 4 hours before the event was to begin, we got a call from one of the members of Vita Nuda Northeast who said that she found a place for us. After speaking with the owner of the venue we were given his phone number and took it from there.
A site being secured, we began scrambling. [flv:http://beachnymphs.com/upload/206.mp4 ../../upload/85.jpg 100% 300]

We continue releasing stories shared by our female subscribers – young fkk girls
Visit our site

Fortunately we’ve got a great group of people who volunteered – some came early to help set up, some offered their vehicles, some drove hours and brought a variety of things that were wanted.
Essentially they helped locate a site by making some phone calls and passing on the info to us.
(They even showed up late, the DJ that was supposedly a VNNE friend actually billed us (after showing up late as well) and they even gave us the wrong information about the price – which came out to be far more expensive than they had said).
After the party, we posted a blog thanking all the patrons for their generosity and to all those who took an active part over recent weeks. What happened next came as a bit of a surprise – even to me!
* aZ”but miraculously we managed to place a fresh party together in three hours in Long Island City!”
* Not such a Miracle but instead the use of your available resources, Vita Nuda
** The first part is a quote from the site while the second part is the comment from Vita Nuda.
This brings up an intriguing question should we’ve recorded each and every person that helped us put the event together? Folks helped set up, folks helped clean up, some helped with the site, others helped with getting security and the list continues on and on (kind of like the credits at the end of a picture). The fact of the matter is that we singled out those individuals who really invested a ton of cash, time and energy into making this event possible in the first place. The claim that we used valuable resources is a bit of a reach do not get me wrong, we were all happy that a site was found but at the end of the day, but wasn’t a public online “thank you” enough?
All too frequently in this world, people do things that might have a positive impact. But if they do it for self-centered and self serving reasons then in the long run it might have proven better not to do anything at all. The reason that I say this is straightforward – it feels more like a set up than a great deed. The repercussions of such actions echo for a long time after everything has been said and done.
Naturist Communication Issues
We at Young Naturists & Young Nudists America help individuals too as organizations virtually every other day. Most of which will never make it to the public domain due to this very reason. If I decided to help As a child from about 7 years old, my partner is because that’s what I feel is the right thing to do. If this person decides to return the favor then it is absolutely up to them. Doing something with ulterior self-serving motives has a tendency of breeding negativity as is the situation here. Merely have a look at the two answers the post got and judge for yourself.
Another problem that keeps surfacing is the inability of people to be direct. Appointment that opinion freely pushed my hand and generated this public reply. Whereas a private e-mail would have most likely resulted in an update to the original post. Why post a spiteful and public response when all that was desired was an e-mail along the lines of: “Hey I read your post about the event and was a little upset to see you didn’t mention me. Was it an oversight in your part? I believe it is only fair, so would you mind updating it? Or at least giving me an explanation as to why you didn’t mention me?”
So in closing
1 – What are your ideas about doing something simply for the benefit of helping others?
2 – What can be done to get people to comprehend the advantages of direct and open communication and the devastating repercussions of passive aggressive or negative public places?

How the Textile Industry Convinced Everyone That Nudity is Poor

While most folks do not think about the historical political impact of the clothes they wear, textiles and the textile industry has in fact had a huge impact on societies around the earth, and still do today. It must be remembered that prior to the European Renaissance and Industrial Revolution, the vast majority of Earth’s human population was (and still is) centered about the equator in tropical and semitropical areas.
Desert dwelling peoples also traditionally demanded clothes for protection from overexposure to the harmful ultraviolet rays of sunlight. In some of these societies handcraft cloths and loom woven fabrics became a valued art, benefiting wealthy weavers and merchant classes. Individuals also wore clothes to indicate their socioeconomic status, and religious offices.
However, for most people all over the world, outside of little elite aristocracies, affluent merchant classes, the religious institution, and societies greatly affected by handcraft textile and merchant guilds, clothes was mostly worn for practical functional purposes, and not needed when impractical, such as for swimming, or for working in hot humid conditions.
Fabric body concealment wasn’t ascribed any moral measurement as symbolic of modesty or purity. The naked human body was linked with poverty at worst, honesty and innocence at best, and was, at some time, not directly associated with human sexuality by the vast majority of Earth’s peoples.
slaves – colonization, nudity, clothes and the textile industry
Then, in 1750 the textile mill was devised in England.
As garments was the important profit generating end use of the textile mill owners products, it became imperative due to their local inhabitants to be indoctrinated with the “demand” for cloth body concealment at all times to keep continuous profits.
This indoctrination also solidified the positions of the aristocracy by direct transfer of wealth from the masses via textile clothing purchases, by designating certain clothes styles as exceptionally expensive and only to be worn by aristocrats, and by designating many different clothes fashions for each sex, age, class, and trade, region, action, and sect, so reinforcing divisions within the general public, making them more readily subdivided and controlled.
Once the masses accepted the practice of constant cloth body concealment (regularly indoctrinated though the church, the best proponent of new ideas accessible to the aristocracy at that time) the abundance of the textile manufacturers was assured for generations.
Textile producers and religious organizations in Asia had long followed a similar path to continuous gains and authoritarian hierarchical control within their own regions and faiths as well.
As the technology of the industrial revolution advanced it became possible for the textile manufacturing companies to furnish more clothes than was demanded by local populations, and the makers were therefore compelled to seek elsewhere to advertise their products.
Therefore colonial expansion was considerably hastened.

The European aristocracy sought new markets for its products (mainly fabrics, in addition to alcoholic beverages, and weapons), low-cost labour, and new environmental resource lands to create its needed raw materials (mainly cotton and wool). The church sought new converts to its authoritarian belief systems, including of course fabric body concealment in any way times as a question of piety, morality, decency, and culture.
Governments sought expansion of their global influence, tax base, and increase of the national wealth. Governments also sought to enforce fabric body concealment as a question of “law” and social “order” as the practice became standard within their own inhabitants and profitable elsewhere within their colonies. Adequately indoctrinated people themselves presumed the belief they were made more pious, moral, modest, adequate, and pure through the practice of fabric body concealment.
However, the many unkind atrocities performed by the European church during the middle ages (mostly rooting out indigenous traditional holistic counselors, scientific knowledge bearers, and treating professionals, many of which were women), the witch trials of Salem Massachusetts, the international slave trade, two world wars, hundreds of big and small scale military conflicts, and millions of more recent violent criminal psychopathic actions tells quite an alternate history.
Today there are other means than authoritarian hierarchical institutions for textile producers to indoctrinate their pervasive bogus message of the requirement of fabric body concealment at all times.
Television causes highly suggestible trance states allowing programming to access the subconscious together with the conscious mind through projection of visual images and auditory signals.
Magazines captivate thoughts with shiny lively brilliant pictures and engaging stories. Papers expound the stories mass media consensus determines to be most profitable. The web engages and interacts with the thoughts of its users. Advertising more and more invades all facets of our everyday life.
Meanwhile women are assaulted by various types of violence, kids are harassed to the point of suicide, people starve themselves to death from hate for and discontent with their bodies, and individuals are habitually ostracized, bullied, assaulted, raped, and killed for what they choose to wear.
Actually, clothing liberty (the skill of any individual to wear or not wear whatever they want without negative repercussions or consequences) can be a fair index of freedom generally within confirmed society.
From what I ‘ve seen in my travels abroad, liberty and self-determination often abound in the societies where clothing independence exists. In the societies where clothes independence is refused, authoritarian hierarchy prevails and other personal independence are also at risk.

I assert here that there’s an encroaching design in which nakedness as
gazed upon is read correlatively with the sexual, and that zones, bodies or
contexts of nude representation that might once have been considered ‘non-
sexual’ are more often sexualized or eroticized. Where David Spade’s naked
comic humiliation might, for instance, generally be read as harmless amuse-
ment, others might just as easily read that nudity as an inappropriate display of
sexuality or as a prompt for masturbatory fantasy.
The experience of nakedness under the gaze of others is exceptionally varied, and
important background differences will impact the relative relaxation with which one
Such variables of experiential difference might
include the levels of privacy afforded within the private house among and
between generations. Mark Davis proposes that such inner, private solitude
has been on the increase in recent decades with the modern house designed to
keep children’s rooms away from the exclusive spaces (and bathrooms) of parents
(Davis, 1997: 2). Those who were brought up in more rural areas have rites and
swimming in the Australian outback waterhole for instance, as the cover to
Robert French’s (1993) Camping by a Billabong testies. Such customs, experi-
ences and codes that contextually attempt to keep nakedness separate from the
sexual are likely as varied as the assortment of clothing worn today. Nonetheless,
what is of interest are the trends in how the public sphere — as the mediated site
of cultural exchange — reacts in and towards discussions of nakedness.
I start by discussing the ways nakedness in modern western

are placed in routines of a cultural craze over the legitimate and the obscene,

Despite the increased depiction of ‘nudity’ in lm, tv and advertising.
Working through increasing contentiousness in instances of shared nakedness, such
as communal same sex showers, bath-time photographs of children and contem-
porary lm and popular culture representations, I suggest that a sexualization of
the public world destabilizes the contexts in which non sexual nakedness and
gazing have been legitimated in modernity. Understood through anxieties of illegiti-
mate sexual reading, homophobia and a anxiety about presenting the embodied self in a
Manner of eroticization, this contextual break down results in an increasing de-
legitimation of several sites of nonsexual nakedness. Where there’s an increased
bodily and psychic stress about the self naked under the gaze of others, this is
not just caused by modern ethnic codes of the obscene, vulnerabil-
ity and private solitude, but of the ‘postmodern’ destabilization of circumstances,

Naturist Site SeriesPart 3: How I Became a Home Naturist Held Captive

A Captive Household Nudist
Home Naturist – People talk about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder today as if it were a joke. Oh, I ‘m so OCD! you might say, when selecting what to wear or putting away the dishes. Even in films and TV shows, they make light of it; view As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson, or the show Monk. But for my mum, OCD was no laughing matter. She endured through it, seldom becoming even a few hours sleep per night. In my own family, we only referred to it as mom’s trouble.
My psychology textbook chapter on OCD was a revelation. Oh my God! I thought, that’s mom! Her neurosis influenced every facet of our lives. Only she and my father were allowed to have keys.
My sister, who lived with us until she was thirty, never had a key of her own, phoning my mom every day to unlock the front door. This wouldn’t have been so terrible if my mother had been a housewife, but we were eatery individuals, and our lives revolved around making pizza.
After the school bus dropped me off, she made an instant lunch as I watched He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, and for 4 to 6 hours later, I became a solitary prisoner in my own house. Father, brother, sister and mother were all at the restaurant, and every door was locked from the inside. Thank God we never had a fire or I would have been toasted alive.
The downside to being trapped in my house was, obviously, loneliness. I spoke to myself incessantly and acted out the stories running rampant in my head. But after “bathing unicorn girl”, I found a surprising gain to my solitary existence.
There was a certain delight in showering without shame which led me to spending time nude in the bedroom. And since my mom locked and unlocked and locked the door about fifty times before getting in her car, I understood when she away, so when I could be alone. I want to just say I Have spent a lifetime attempting to describe that first feeling of stepping out my bedroom door sans panties.
Maybe it was the years of repression, from both my mom and my Baptist school, but I felt like I’d lived my whole life in a cave and was seeing a gorgeous landscape for the very first time. Or a man who had never known music and hearing Mozart for I Met My Future Husband on a Nude Beach It all started when I went to spend my vacations in Bulgaria with my friend Emily .
Specifically, it was the universe of feel that opened up to me. The feeling of air on my shoulders, the bristles of carpet under my feet, the diverse textures of every chair and pillow. And it still looks strange in my experience. It was not like I’d never worn a bathing suit, but being fully nude made me acutely more aware of my environment.
Home Naturist Held Captive
Of course, I was a teen, and I’d be remiss to not mention arousal. But after the first hour or so, my brain figured sex wasn’t happening.
There was also the delight factor. When folks say they climb mountains because they are afraid of heights, I comprehend what they mean. I did flirt with the black side of nudism – exhibitionism – at one point. But I never really cared for anyone to actually see me naked. All I really wanted was that awareness of liberty, to be one with myself and my environment.
Over the the next couple of years, whenever the family was away, the clothes came off. And I developed very good hearing. When a car door slammed shut, I ‘d minutes to get dressed, and my shorts were always within reach.

Some days I worried I have a very tough job. was suffering from some mental illness. My behavior wasn’t exactly ordinary, and the Internet was still years away, so I could not just Google being naked. There was no way of knowing folks like me existed.
But that didn’t prevent me from growing ever more daring. Places I secretly went nude: my dad’s orange grove, resort locker rooms, resort jacuzzis, and the woods behind our restaurant.
Household Nudist
That last part, I confess, was a little dumb. But none of that concerned me.
There was also litter, in the homeless people who liked to camp out there, and perhaps on the run pedophiles. Come to think of it, I was a pedophile’s ultimate dream: a lad in the woods, naked and alone. But my only real fear was someone stealing my clothing and having to return to my family, and a restaurant saturated in shocked customers and employees, wearing just a pizza box without any explanation. Sure, it might have made for a great story, but I Had likely be affected by humiliation-PTSD now.
I had eventually decided I was a naturist. Though I couldn’t be certain what the lifestyle entailed, life just looked better without clothes. Even algebra homework was more entertaining sitting on my naked behind. But my new found independence came coupled with stress; as a nudist, I was true to myself, and yet my authentic self had to remain concealed; nudism was about being open, however also my biggest secret.
Frustrated by these paradoxes and philosophically minded at a young age, I started to ask the difficult questions, like why shame existed to such a degree in our society, and why it was even essential to wear garments.
Being a real Household Naturist
Would not the world be better without shame? Sometimes, when my sister drove me to the library for school, I spent time on the microfiche machine (Google it, kids!) to look up articles on naturism / naturism. But more than anything, I needed to come from the closet, to spend time around other naked folks where I could be myself and enjoy the elements of nature without panic.
When lads my age began fantasizing about sex, I was thinking about the nude beaches of the Greek isles. But how could I ever have the ability to go there? I visited Greece every summer, but consistently with the family, and if my mom should happen to find my naturism, with her clothing-related OCD, she had likely die of a heart attack.

Nudity and Art – What’s the big deal?

Nudity And Artwork – In the modern world, nudity is among the few things left with actual power. This is not some new, modern notion disperse by art schools, but one that’s been used for centuries by the great masters to shock and awe those that beheld the great thing about the naked human form.
By far the best-known piece of naked artwork in the world is David by Renaissance master Michelangelo.
Michelangelo’s Bare Sculpture Of David
The sculpture lived in the city of Florence for hundreds of years, symbolizing the liberty of the Florentine city-state and defiance of Rome. Today it lives in the Accademia Gallery in Florence. Like many works of the Renaissance masters, David was censored for time by reactionaries in the Catholic Church, with strategically-set plaster or plants covering up David’s genitals.
The Venus de Milo, crafted by Alexandros of Antioch, is a piece of Greek artwork depicting a girl who’s bare in the waist-up. [flv:http://beachnymphs.com/upload/104.mp4 ../../upload/850.jpg 100% 300]

While she originally had arms, they were broken off at some point and lost to the sands of time. While definitely a well-crafted piece of art, its celebrity comes partially from an active propaganda campaign by the French government exalting what an important and astounding piece of art it was.
Bare Art Sculpture of Venus de Milo
Among artists best known for their bare artworks, the clear victor is Peter Paul Rubens. A Baroque-era painter from the Netherlands, he was incredibly prolific and created many friendly, mythology-influenced paintings, but is today largely remembered for his nude artwork of full figured girls. He was immortalized in the word ‘Rubenesque’ as a complimentary term for a plus size naked woman.
Nude Artwork by Peter Paul Rubens of Naked Venus Cupid Bacchus and Ceres
It’s uncommon for any piece of artwork to bring attention in the modern world. What little money and energy is spent on art is seen in some segments of society as being, by definition, waste. Art that does attract attention in the world has an incredibly strong inclination to be associated with nudity.
Cases of such art are thenaked photography of celebs, the sculpture of Britney Spears nude and modeled on a bearskin rug, or PETA’s advertisements and temporary outdoor artwork installations with nude or painted models.
