Whom are you naked for?

Published by

Surprising question? Don’t be surprised. Just consider the question and think of a good answer. You have until the end of this post to come up with something good (but pay attention here!) Whom are you naked for? Here is that question again. I have found that many dedicated nudists still have some reserve about being naked in places where they can be seen. Of course being at a nude beach or in a naturist resort there is no problem. But tell me: would you drive your car naked? I would. I’ve done it many times already and I will keep doing it, unless it’s just too cold. Yes, there is the chance that people see me. I know that. There is also the chance that lightning strikes and kills me (although not on that particular day as it was at least 100F, which is quite insane for where I live). The thing is that I am naked for myself. Because I enjoy it. Also in my car, which I declare my personal, moving naturist …

Resident Christopher Lane said he and his children had attended the Muddy Buddy, a run around a muddy river mouth or estuary, for a family fun day in small town Havelock.

Nude cyclist has reopened the debate of public nudity.

Mixed reaction to man cycling nude As unexpected as the cyclist had been, Mr Hadfield was also surprised at the can of worms opened after he posted about his experience on a Facebook page. He said he thought it was interesting that some people sexualised what happened while others saw it as normal. “Most people thought it was funny, like good on this guy having this attitude and getting out there on his bike.” Opinions were varied throughout a giant thread – some applauded the cyclist, while others said his actions were offensive and dangerous.

Sydney Nude Charity Swim back for 2016

Published by

Nude Harbour Swim To Return To Sydney In 2016 The Sydney Skinny is about five things,” Marsh told The Huffington Post Australia. “I could talk for hours about each of them, but essentially they are joy, courage, acceptance, attitude, and charity. “You’ll notice one of the words I haven’t said is nudity. I know I’ve set up a nude event that isn’t about nudity, and so I understand how people immediately leap to the wrong conclusion, but it is the wrong conclusion. “You are clothed on the land, then straight away covered by the water, and you get a sarong as soon as you get out. “I’ve had people say to me, ‘oh yes, my cousin does nude hiking,’ and that is the exact opposite to what this is. “There is an element of risk and obviously it’s different to every other swim because it’s a nude one but it really isn’t about nudity.” Held at Cobbler’s Beach at Middle Head in NSW, attendance to the unique event has increased by 40 percent each year …

Huntington Ban on Clothes free Swims Protested

Published by

Nudists protest being banned from Huntington Beach city gym In September, that practice came to a halt when City Manager Fred Wilson signed a regulation prohibiting use of the facility and others like it to the nudists, citing that “the exposure unreasonably interferes” with city employees’ abilities to perform their responsibilities during private rentals. At Tuesday’s City Council meeting, about 15 members of the nudist group showed up to protest the regulation and asked for it to be rescinded. R. Allen Baylis, an attorney and president of the local group, complained that Wilson “adopted the resolution on his own with no input from the City Council.” Baylis asked either that Wilson rescind the regulation or be directed by City Council to withdraw it. Wilson said he adopted the regulation because “there were concerns brought to my attention that led to us revisiting the issue.” Wilson added that his intent was to leave the policy in effect, unless directed otherwise by the City Council Source: OC Register http://www.ocregister.com/articles/city-700582-regulation-group.html

free to be free: my first topfree walk in the city

Published by

“I didn’t know if you would like to walk over here to us or if you would rather us come pick you up,” read my phone’s face. I knew exactly where they were parked: right in front of the studio where I practice and assist class. I also knew that 1) there were about 60 yoga people there, 2) that they were on lunch break for their weekend yoga teacher training session, and that 3) this would likely mean folks would be sprawled out on the sidewalk in a rainbow stew of spandex and lycra. All this is also in the same neighborhood as the place where I work. I texted Gingerbread back, “I can come to you.” In fact, I had already left my office and was just around the corner from meeting my new friends for my first ever topfree walk in the midst of clothed society.

NY times offers tips on going socially clothes free

Published by

How to Be Naked in Public Choose your activities carefully. Swimming is the easiest for beginners. Volleyball and other jumping sports are more challenging. Yoga can be particularly intimidating, even for committed nudists. Don’t be surprised if you occasionally experience phantom clothes.

Naturist asks What sort of country is Britain for people who want to be clothes free?

Published by

By John Harding A weird mix of staunch conservatism and liberal freedom. It’s a country that can host the multicultural splendour of the Notting Hill Carnival, the diverse Edinburgh Fringe and the fantastic Hay-on-Wye literary festival. It’s a melting pot of cultures and attitudes, and a land which seems to embrace … almost everything. Except naturism; we lag behind our European cousins with their care-free, laissez-faire attitude towards a clothes-free lifestyle. However, the laws in the United Kingdom that address naturism are clear: it is not illegal. Indeed, this may come as a shock to many. Perhaps they only ever see naked people in public when a sozzled sports supporter streaks at a sporting event and is subsequently arrested. Perhaps they buy into the myth that it is “indecent exposure” or perhaps they just believe because of their years of conditioning it must be illegal. But it isn’t. Not directly, anyhow. There is a law called the Public Order Act; this permits the Police to ensure “order” is maintained and that anyone who knowingly causes …
