Nudist Lifestyle Is Great For Body Confidence | Stuff.co.nz http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/wellbeing/9621592/Being-nude-Great-for-confidence

“It’s really nice being with a group of people, in particular with a group of women, who accept you the way you are, with your lumps and bumps and everything else. It’s quite liberating and very confidence boosting. If people can accept you regardless of how you look, that’s a big deal for most women.”

I wish I could convince my wife that this really is true.

If our priority is protecting children, nudity in changerooms is not what we should be afraid of | Van Badham

The ban by a local surf club echoes the energy of present censorship campaigns being run by agenda-ridden moralisers in Australia and the US

OK so it may be a long bow to draw between these events and a surf club changeroom in Terrigal. Of course it’s right to be concerned about the potential for children to be endangered by obscenity, sexual behaviour and/or violence in a changeroom. But if you think sex predators are likely to be deterred by a polite sign on the wall asking them to put some pants on – congratulations, I guess – you’re not thinking like a sex predator, people infamously resistant to restraint on their behaviour. Either you have the physical infrastructure and systems to keep people safe, or you don’t.

And nudity is not inherently unsafe. Academic research has found that “childhood experiences with exposure to nudity … are not adversely related to adult sexual functioning and adjustment” but rather is related positively to sexual adjustment, body confidence and self-esteem.

There is a crucial distinction between nudity and sexual explicitness that becomes obvious the more one becomes familiar with nudity through – you guessed it – non-sexualised social interactions, like using a changeroom. Learning this distinction actually assists children in being able to perceive the threat of atypical, dangerous and unsafe behaviours. The respectful rituals of the public changeroom also provide contextual social education for children for what constitutes appropriately modest behaviour around the naked body.

Of course, conservative institutions from church to state to rather a lot of late capitalism’s worst industries have long realised there is great and terrifying shaming power that results from policing the human body and sexuality. Overthrowing the old prudery liberated entire communities from an oppression that caused not only misery but great vulnerability to harm. If our priority is protecting children, it’s not the local changerooms we should be frightened of. It’s the agenda-ridden moralisers trying to make us fear them.

I spent a lot of my life “sucking it in”, programmed by society for the male gaze. Unconsciously trying to fit into some unknown category that I still can’t quite explain. The desire to be healthy would often mutate into some sort of distorted desire for an unattainable body image. Living in some space for the gaze of others or just some jumbled up body dismorphia mixed up of celebrities, social media, or growing up with Hollywood in the early 2000s (and still). It is not easy to choose to love our bodies every day. But to move into this conscious allowance and deep love of the powerful eb and flow of our beautiful bodies, that are so gracefully carrying our souls through this human experience, is one of the most powerful and yet hardest things we can do in loving ourselves. I’m unlearning the vocabulary around my body from what can I change, to I love every little ounce of my body in all of her phases, for all that she does for me, and brings to this earth. Kindness eases change. So be kind to yourself. Know that we are perfect just as we are and just as we are meant to be.

Flashback to our 2016 nakation at Hokianga Harbour, NZ. The warm sun and fresh air on the naked body can't be beaten.

Currently most of my Naturist social media activity is on Twitter (@NZNaturist64). However this may change if the worst case scenarios for the future of Twitter come to pass.
