Definition: "Naturism is a way of life characterised by the practice of social nudity, with the aim of
encouraging self-respect, respect for others and for the environment." (International Naturist
Federation)
Naturism brings you closer to Nature
You feel really close to nature when you discard your clothes and feel warm
sunshine, fresh air or cool water on the whole of your body. Being naked outdoors
gives you a great sense of freedom.
Nudity is Enjoyable
Being naked in the presence of others is a pleasurable experience, but it is pleasure
in the nicest sense of the word. It is very relaxing and enjoyable. You won't find naturists nervously leering at each
other - they are open and trusting of each other, accepting each other's imperfections, and respecting each other's
personalities.
Nudity is Healthy and Natural
Clothes restrict the flow of air over the skin and prevent the evaporation of
perspiration. Clothes encourage the proliferation of bacteria and microscopic fungi,
especially in humid and warm conditions. They interfere with the body's natural
temperature control mechanisms, making some parts hotter than others. Naked people
rarely smell bad, but sweaty clothes do. Tight shorts and trousers, raise the
temperature of the testicles in the male, thus interfering with the development of
sperm and male hormones and reducing fertility. Nakedness is the human animal's
natural condition and contributes to physical and emotional health.
Educational Value
A most important aspect of naturism is its educational effect on growing children. In
the clothed world, where everyone goes to great lengths to hide their "private parts",
children become ashamed of their own bodies and curious about the bodies of
others, especially of the opposite sex. Sex becomes "forbidden fruit", and this leads
to unnaturally intense curiosity and often undesirable behaviour. In the naturist
setting, naked bodies are no big deal. There is no prurient curiosity; no need to be
ashamed of one's own body since others are obviously developing in the same way.
Adolescents can see exactly how their bodies are going to change as they grow
older. It would be extremely unlikely for a person who has been raised in a naturist
family to become a sexual deviant or pedophile. The practice of naturism automatically engenders a healthy attitude
towards people of the opposite sex. They are seen as whole personalities, and not merely as sex-objects.
Sunlight is Beneficial (In moderation)
Man has evolved in the presence of natural sunlight, and while it cannot be denied that a surfiet of solar radiation on
the skin can be harmful, especially if the skin is lily-white, it is nevertheless true that a moderate amount of sunlight is
beneficial and natural. It promotes good health a sense of well-being. It also promotes the synthesis of vitamin D in the
skin. The best way to take the sun is in moderate doses and with a slowly acquired all-over tan.
The beautiful outdoors, beaches,
the warm breeze over her naked
body, that's nature! Imagine a
great crowd of young, athletic
people enjoying all kinds of
activities completely naked!
