5 Cool Tips About Naturism

 

People often have a lot of questions about the naturist (or nudist) lifestyle. Here are five cool tips you should know about it...

1. Naturism can be practiced year round 

Naturists love warm weather, but even when it's cold outside, you might find us enjoying a nude-friendly sauna, hot tub, or indoor pool. Naturism should be for any time of year. 

2. Naturists are everywhere 

We are teachers, doctors, business owners, students, etc. We are not "weird" people - we just don't have hang-ups about nudity the way that some people do. We like to vacation in places where social nudity is legal and acceptable. Nothing weird about that. 

3. Naturism is about body acceptance

We don't obsess over body types. That doesn't mean we don't strive to look and feel better. In fact, that's why we practice naturism. It helps us improve our bodies. You get more vitamin D from sun exposure, you walk more, play more, and socialize more. 

4. Naturism is for all ages 

Naturism that's practiced in legal and socially appropriate places is perfectly acceptable for families and their children. Naturism is wholesome for singles, couples, families, seniors, and students. 

5. Naturists don't hate clothes 

Naturists love to practice clothes-free recreation when possible, but that doesn't mean we hate clothing. We just believe that clothes should be used for comfort and convenience, but never for shame.

Now that you know some basic FAQs about naturism, here's the official definition according to the International Naturist Federation: "Naturism is a lifestyle in harmony with nature, characterized by social nudity that encourages self-respect, respect for others, and for the environment."
