Why Nudists Love Twitter
As platforms like Facebook and Instagram crack down on explicit content, Twitter has allowed nudity to thrive.

Since Martin Belcher, a 50-year-old customer-services adviser based in the U.K., joined Twitter in 2012, he’s tweeted out thousands of naked photos of himself hiking, gardening, reading, eating, and watering his lawn. His nearly 3,000 followers respond by favoriting, retweeting, and frequently sharing nude photos of their own.

Belcher isn’t a porn star or spam account sharing unsolicited photographs of his penis—he’s part of the thriving community of nudists on Twitter who have flocked to the platform after most others have made a policy of censoring or banning images of naked bodies. Nudists on Facebook have had their profiles suspended after failing to properly crop or censor their photos. On Instagram, they’ve been penalized for showing female nipples or too much pubic hair. Tumblr allows NSFW (Not Safe for Work) content, but nudists say the platform is so overrun with spam that it’s unusable. Continued…Read full original article…

Should the nude photos be censored?
A photographer has been involved for months in a tough fight with Instagram and Facebook. Again and again, his artistic nude photographs have been censored.

The British photographer AdeY has decided to fight against the obviously arbitrary censorship. According to the principle “We always talk about sex, but naked bodies disturb us or disturb us” , the artist creates carefully choreographed nude photos that show the human body in all its splendor without being explicitly sexual. The social networks in which AdeY published her photos seem even more shocked by the nude works staged in an artistic way than by the depictions of bloody violence, weapons and racist, homophobic and sexist comments.

While his Facebook page has been permanently removed from the web, the photographer is at the heart of a fun debate with Instagram. Only since May 10, 2018, the profile of the artist, which is followed by more than 81,000 fans, has been deactivated four times before being reactivated. In an open letter, which Adey posted on her website , she addresses Instagram. ” I write to you as a photographer who has been silenced, and on behalf of all fellow artists who have been harassed, censored and removed on Instagram for sharing works of art. art that aims to provoke and challenge the viewer . “ Continued…Read full original article…

What Makes a Photo a Naturist Photo?

The sky is overcast today with just the occasional whisper of a shower from time to time. It is quite warm, regardless, and we are enjoying the day. This morning we went for a shorter walk of just over four kilometres rather than our usual ten kilometres. Rather than wearing our Kiniki bathing suits, we wore clothing for the walk along the shorter section. Since it wasn’t sunny, it almost seemed pointless to wear bathing suits. Besides, swimming wasn’t on our agenda. Now that we are back, I have time for some writing and blogging.

I wondered for quite a while before deciding the theme for today’s post, quite some time actually. It wasn’t as if there is nothing to say, but whatever was to be said had to what emerged from within me rather than be forced by my head. It was the photo I took that had me realise that it was the use of images in social media in general that needed to be addressed. This photo above obviously shows that I am fully nude. It is Facebook friendly for a photo of a male nude though not Facebook friendly if this had been a photo of a woman. My nipples are safe while a woman’s serve as triggers for some, especially the good folks at Facebook. Continued…Read full original article…

Adult content policies and private censorship

Of the many reasons why social media platforms should resist pressure to “voluntarily” censor their users, one stands out: history shows that they will do it badly, taking down valuable and lawful content in the name of enforcing community standards. The result: practical speech discrimination.

Facebook’s adult content policy is a textbook example. Since its early days, the platform has banned nearly all forms of nudity. But from day one, it has created reporting processes that conflate mere nudity with sexuality, and sexuality with pornography, and has applied different standards to feminine bodies than to masculine ones.

Keep Calm and Stay Naked
It’s that time of year again when naturists/nudists go into a bit of hibernation of sorts. I have blogged previously about my experiences and tips for surviving as a naturist through the long Canadian winter (Check them out here and here if you like) and have not yet thought of anything of value to add on the subject.

With nothing of value to add to the surviving the winter naked conversation, I decide to start a different post than my usual “naturist experience” based ones, with the topic of current state of naturism as I saw it and the underlying politics and problems holding us back. But ultimately if got a little depressing and I could not remember what I thought would be the benefit of my rambling complaints.

Rather than focus on the ridiculous state of affairs at the International NaturistFederation or the sad (but totally understandable) announcement from YoungNaturists/Nudists of America that they are winding down all YNA operations, and don’t get me started on the many so called Twitter naturists who are really just porno addicted, dick pic sending perverts. This paragraph alone should show you how sad that post would have been
Instead I wanted to talk about the positive things going on and in the world of Naturism. There is plenty going on that give me hope that being a naturist is getting better and easier than even a few years ago. Continued…Read full original article…

Despite the hostility, what makes people take up nudism?

Nudism can mean different things to different people. For some, it’s the most natural state of being, a life path. For others, it may be a way to protest, a symbol of transgression, a path to enlightenment, a muse of artistic creation.

But what is it that makes people take to it, despite it being a taboo and a punishable offence in most nations? Continued…Read full original article…

When looking for new naturist friends

It’s not all that easy when it comes to finding like-minded peers in Montreal to be able to consider as friends when it comes to the Naturist lifestyle. The reason for this maybe more me, however, this same fear or anxiety that I have might be shared with others having this same concern.

I have been in the chatrooms, meetup groups, searching Facebook groups to find people who I can relate with — with no real success. Don’t get me wrong, I have found many friends online who I can relate with. the only problem is, they live very far away. I have trusted Naturist friends in the USA, Europe, Australia, Canada, etc. Just none close enough to the Montreal region. I use to have two good Naturist friends. (Alex and Jean) I now just have Jean, since Alex has retired and has been traveling across the USA and Canada now with his new partner Betty. Continued…Read full original article…

Dernier week-end au soleil pour les naturistes du Bois de Vincennes
L’espace naturiste du Bois de Vincennes a fermé dimanche soir, après six semaines d’expérimentation. Les naturistes qui ont pu tester le dispositif sont conquis et souhaitent l’ouverture prochaine de nouveaux lieux dédiés.

Dimanche après-midi, la clairière du Bois de Vincennes dédiée au naturisme était bondée. Dans le plus simple appareil, les naturistes ont profité du derniers jour d’ouverture de cet espace autorisant pour la première fois la pratique en plein air à Paris. Depuis le 31 août, la mairie de Paris avait autorisé l’expérimentation de cet espace gratuit. Après 45 jours de test, les amateurs ont apprécié l’expérience.

“On peut se mettre tout nu sans avoir sans arrêt des gens qui vous regardent comme des pestiférés”, souligne un naturiste. “C’est intéressant d’avoir un lieu comme ça, qui n’et pas immense je pensais que c’était plus grand, mais ça ne demande qu’à s’étendre”, ajoute un autre.

Nudism, Nudists and Everything You Want To Know About The Nudist Lifestyle and Nudism!
Introduction to Nudism and what does being a nudist mean?

A Nudist may have many reasons for being naked. Some common reasons are self-acceptance, getting closer to nature, physical comfort, and more authentic human connection and relationships.

Nudists feel that a deeper or truer understanding of people can be attained by first stripping away outer signs of class, wealth, and style. A nudist person will argue that mentalities like “clothes make the man” are superficial and judgmental. By removing the means of preconceptions – clothing – people can see each other as human beings and not as their socio-economic status.

A Nudist Take Over – Nudist Women Take Over Land to Establish a Nudist Colony!

A lot of people prefer to live the majority of their lives fairly fully clothed. Some might even spend a good deal of their time focusing on shopping and putting together stylish outfits for this purpose. But there are also a good number of people who prefer to live just the opposite and embrace nudism.

That is, nudism is a lifestyle that is shared by many communities across the world. For some, it offers an alternative or “more natural” way of living. As a side note, “naturism” is actually the term preferred by many nudists today. While nudism and naturism both refer to the practice of going nude in a non-sexual setting, naturism tends to have a philosophy and values behind it. It isn’t just about nudity but about acceptance, equality and respecting others and the environment. Continued…Read full original article…

The pros and cons of social media for the future of nudism
“Dear Facebook, Several months ago we’ve sent you a message with complaints, but unfortunately we haven’t heard anything back from you. We’re still not satisfied…”

This could have been the start of another open letter to Facebook complaining about the fact that they still don’t respect us, the nudists. Because they still seem to think that what we are doing belongs to the same category as porn stars having threesomes on white leather couches.

We do like to fight for our rights, verbally at least, and we love the discussions although they’re often endless. Give us a bottle of wine and some snacks and we can talk the whole evening and most of the night about how wrongly we feel treated by social media and how unaccepted we feel by something that’s supposed to bring people together. But in the end they’re not going to change their rules for us, they are big businesses. They react on the requirements of a majority. They don’t care that some Naked Wanderings blog (a very good one by the way, you should read it sometime) complains about getting temporarily banned or that a woman starts questioning wheter or not a fraction of her nipple can be shown.

A Facebook generation of naturists!

The new generation of nudists/naturists could dream of being a part of a naturist organisation. But they do embrase public nudity more than ever, especially in England and France.

I think the Internet and Social Medias is a part of the reason, before we had to organise in clubs, organizations and similar to make a statement. Today it’s easier than ever to make a movement using Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Tumblr and other social medias.

In many ways, the goal is the same as the classic naturist – naked freedom. But in other ways there is a slightly difference. The classic naturist is often a part of a naturist club/orginasation. This may make some people a little “affraid” of nakedness, they don’t consider them self nudists or naturists. They just love being naked when they feel like being naked. That is an important difference, because this new movement might take naked freedom a step further to a broader audience than the classic naturist organizations. Many people enjoy being naked at home, and on more private places, other like to be naked in more social matters. Both paths is total accepted, the goal is a common acceptance of nakedness.

Costas sigue sin construir una senda segura en la cala nudista

Los bañistas que eligen la playa nudista de Playa Morena, en El Portús, para disfrutar de un buen chapuzón, continúan un año más sin poder acceder a la zona de una forma segura. Los que no lo hacen a través del camping se ven obligados a hacerlo por el monte, jugándose el tipo. La Demarcación de Costas del Estado, un organismo que depende del Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, todavía no ha iniciado los trabajos previstos para abrir una senda que permita el acceso desde la zona de la rambla, en paralelo a los alojamientos turísticos.

El proyecto está bloqueado en los juzgados, porque afecta a diferentes construcciones, como casas prefabricadas, una treintena de parcelas de acampada, una piscina, aseos y un muro. Hasta que estas edificaciones e instalaciones no sean retiradas, Costas no podrá entrar en la zona de servidumbre para realizar las obras.

Canadá un país con historia naturista

Canadá resulta resulta ser históricamente uno de los países más importantes en la lucha de la promoción y defensa del naturismo. Existen muchos lugares donde ya forma una manera de vivir totalmente normalizada.

Según la legislación canadiense, el desnudo en lugares públicos, o en lugares privados donde puedan ser vistos por terceros, es considerado delito de “ ofensa pública. “ Sin embargo, esta “ofensa” no está penada en conductas tales como bañarse o tomar sol desnudo en algunas playas públicas dónde las autoridades locales han aceptado la vestimenta opcional el conocido “Clothes Free”

En Canadá se ha producido una tendencia a la proliferación de numerosos Clubes y Asociaciones privadas, cercanas a las ciudades, que están reconocidos y controlados por las dos Federaciones Canadienses : FCN –( Federación de Naturismo Canadiense) y FQN – (Federación Quebecoise de Naturisme). …Read full original article…

Pueblos y playas nudistas más liberales
El nudismo es una disciplina que cada día gana más seguidores en las playas nudistas españolas.

El nudismo se está convirtiendo en una disciplina cada vez más extendida. Durante esta práctica la libertad del cuerpo es total. No hay ninguna atadura que lo lleve a sentirse ligado a un mundo demasiado material. Querernos a nosotras mismas es uno de los grandes retos a los que nos enfrentamos. En un mundo donde nos machacan con estereotipos impuestos una y otra vez, dejar el bikini en casa puede ser algo terapéutico.

Grandes beneficios de la disciplina nudista

Muchos son los beneficios de la disciplina nudista. Empezando por el aspecto psicológico que nos permitirá aceptar nuestro cuerpo y aumentar nuestra disciplina. Una manera de conseguir querernos un poco más. Sentir el agua de mar sobre la piel sin nada que la presione o notar como el sol recorre nuestro cuerpo. Nada impedirá que se bronceara de un modo uniforme. Las anti estéticas marcas del bañador desparecerán por completo con esta técnica. Read full original article…

España, nueva patria del nudismo
Según una encuesta de Ifop las españolas son las que practican con más frecuencia el ‘topless’ y el nudismo.

La nueva patria del naturismo es España. Esto es lo que sugiere la encuesta realizada por el instituto demoscópico francés Ifop que muestra que las españolas son las que practican con más frecuencia ‘topless’ y nudismo.

Pese al mito de las inclinaciones libertinas de las francesas y el culto al naturismo de las europeas del norte no son las mujeres de esos países las que más se desnudan sino las españolas. Según una encuesta de Ifop difundida este viernes, el 49% de las españolas afirma haberse desnudado de cintura para arriba en al menos una ocasión en la playa, seguidas por las alemanas (41%) y las holandesas (35%). Sólo el 29% de las francesas admite, en cambio, haberse quedado en topless.

Sólo el 9% de las francesas y el 8% de las italianas admiten haberse quedado en cueros alguna vez, lo que las iguala casi a las estadounidenses consideradas en general más recatadas.

Skinny dip

Que no se diga que no tocamos todos los palos. Vamos a hablar del “skinny dip”, el término anglosajón tras el que nos escondemos para no hablar abiertamente de bañarnos desnudos.

Skinny dip es un eufemismo sonoramente trendy, aunque su traducción literal más aproximada sería algo así como “remojón en cueros”. Definitivamente una de esas cosas que solamente funcionan en inglés.

El caso es que se dice que bañarse sin un centímetro de textil encima puede ser muy beneficioso para la salud. Otros van más lejos y lo denominan la práctica reparadora definitiva. Read full original article…

Me quité la ropa y los prejuicios para pasar un día en un camping nudista

Nudismo. Ya está. Solo con escuchar la palabra es casi inevitable que te hayas imaginado una playa con gente en pelotas, seguramente mayor y sin depilar, a la que le gusta exhibirse y mirar a otros haciendo lo mismo. Pero solo tienes que googlear esta palabra para saber que la concepción que tenemos del naturismo, un movimiento mucho más amplio que el nudismo ‘a secas’, no deja de ser un saco de prejuicios. Para mí, como mujer milenial que cada día intenta no juzgar su cuerpo, sigo siendo incapaz de hacer topless si hay algún miembro de mi familia o algún hombre a quien yo conozca y que no sea mi pareja. Así que, pensé, si tanta gente lo hace, mucho de bueno debe tener y yo quiero saber qué es. Y me fui a buscarlo, esta vez completamente desnuda, a uno de esos centros del respeto por el cuerpo y la naturaleza: un camping naturista.

Después de conducir hora y media desde Barcelona hasta L’Hospitalet de l’Infant (Tarragona) mi pareja y yo (a quién llamaré M. en adelante) llegamos a El Templo del Sol, uno de los nueve campings nudistas que hay actualmente en España y que, según me cuenta Ferràn Pujol, su Director de Comunicación, es de los mejor considerados. Ferràn me espera en la entrada para darme la bienvenida, para mi alivio, vestido. Me explica que allí todos los empleados llevan ropa para evitar malentendidos. Así que M. y yo todavía tenemos algunos minutos de margen para ‘enfrentarnos’ a nuestra desnudez pública y a la preocupación que le genera el pensar que va a pasarse todo el día empalmado.

I took off my clothes and prejudices to spend a day at a nudist camping
Me quité la ropa y los prejuicios para pasar un día en un camping nudista

El camping que, por cierto, está tan a tope de gente que no hay ningún bungalow, caravana ni tienda de campaña libre donde podamos pasar la noche, es la ‘torre de vigilancia’ que cuida de la zona. Lo único que la asociación naturista que protege la playa natural de El Torn y sus alrededores permitió construir con el fin de repeler a los rascacielos y los adosados típicos de las costas españolas. A día de hoy, aproximadamente 2.000 personas llenan este complejo, creado hace 25 años por una pareja francesa enamorada del naturismo y la Costa Dorada, y pasan el verano haciendo barbacoas, bañándose en su piscina panorámica y montando en bici. Lo mismo que tú o yo haríamos en un camping, pero en pelotas. Read full original article…

Britain: still a nation of nude prudes

In a recent poll, market research company YouGov found that British people tend to feel uncomfortable naked and are rarely nude in the house or sleeping – and most agree they are too easily offended by sex and nudity

Not only are British people notoriously shy about sex, studies have found that in recent years the nation is having less of it. Due to busy lives, stress and money worries, sexual appetites have been in decline; the sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s, it is said, “came and went”.

Toronto loses more than a sunbathing spot whenever Hanlan’s Point Beach closes
Reopened after high water levels forced the clothing-optional beach to shut for three months, Hanlan’s is a rare public space that encourages body positivity

Before Shane Hollon visited Hanlan’s Point for the first time in 2013 he had no idea Toronto had a clothing optional beach.

On the recommendation of a straight couple, he and his boyfriend (now husband) made the trek to strip down. Hanlan’s was his first time exploring naturism – going nude in a social setting, usually outdoors – and while he doesn’t consider himself a full-time nudist, the beach became a special space of acceptance and body positivity.

“As soon as we stepped foot on the dunes and saw the naked bodies in various states of repose we knew we were home,” says Hollon, a Toronto-based performer and activist union member. “Undressing in front of strangers can be intimidating the first time. Here, where it was encouraged but not enforced, we didn’t feel any shame.”

Parmi ceux-ci, un peu plus de 150 campings et centres de vacances et près de 120 plages réparties sur tout le littoral atlantique et méditerranéen, réservés aux adeptes de la nudité et encadrés par un arrêté municipal.

Hyères (Var). La France compte près de 500 espaces autorisés aux naturistes.

C’est également dans l’Hexagone que l’on trouve le plus grand centre de vacances naturiste d’Europe. Situé en bordure d’une plage (évidemment naturiste), à Grayan-et-l’Hôpital, en Gironde, Euronat s’étend sur 335 ha au milieu d’une forêt de pins. A disposition des vacanciers, plus de 1 400 emplacements de camping (à partir de 200 € la semaine en août) et 500 bungalows (à partir de 500 €). Read full original article…

Nudismo en el Campo de Gibralter

Bienvenidos a nudismo en el campo de Gibralter. Lugar de promoción de los exceptionales parajes para la práctica del nudismo que encierra la comarca, donde un entorno natural privilegiada y un clima extraordinario se dan la mano.

Las singulares condiciones que se dan en ella, hacen que sea un destino para la práctica del nudismo de una calidad extraordinaria, vinculada a una costa aún a salvo del turismo de masas y donde la armonía del desnudo con el entorno cobra una enorme fuerza.

Naturism, which some consider to be slightly different than nudism, is – you guessed it – the practice of not wearing clothes.
