Naturism, or nudism, is the idea that people can enjoy each other’s company without the inhibitions of clothing. For many people, this is an unusual concept, as we have grown with the belief that clothing is required for all social interactions, and that individuals have anatomical parts that should remain private. But this in an inaccurate concept; clothing is more restricting to humans as it creates social barriers. Nudism is a healthy non-sexual philosophy and choice of lifestyle which is both natural and liberating. The practice of being naked socially and recreationally has many benefits to your psyche, your body, and your relationships.

There is much research to indicate that nudity is healthier for your body. Sleep experts recommend cooler environments to attain the deepest and most restful sleep. Similar studies have also shown that sleeping in cooler temperatures can increase your metabolism; nudity is an excellent way to help yourself reach those cooler temperatures at night. Additionally, nudity prevents excessive sweating, epidermal inflammation, and is better for blood circulation. Meanwhile, clothing has been found to reduce sperm counts and fertility in men, and increase the risk of yeast infections and UTI’s in women. Being naked outdoors also has health benefits. Researchers suggest that our bodies absorb Vitamin D best through sunlight, which prevents Rickets in children and Osteomalacia in adults; it will also help improve a person’s mood.

Naturism also has psychological benefits. While most people rely on clothing to boost their confidence through the appearance of social status, being nude actually works much better. By doffing one’s clothes and spending time either alone or with others, you become more relaxed with yourself and thus increase your self-confidence and self-esteem. Everyone has physical imperfections that we usually try to cover up, such as extra weight, scars, stretch marks; but by practicing nudism we come to see that these are normal things, and when we are nude with others, we see that everyone has the same imperfections; so few people meet the “perfect body” standards that are shown in magazines, television, and other outlets. Being nude with others makes this apparent and enables us to relax and see that all our bodies are flawed, and teaches us to accept those flaws in others and ourselves. Nudism promotes a positive self-image.

Nudism is also good for teaching equality. Uniforms are fairly commonplace in some schools and jobs, because it equalizes people; naturism does the same thing. Within naturist communities things like social classes and race have a difficult time existing when all you can see is a person in their most natural state. We often times make judgments of people’s status based on the clothes they wear, and tend to find other people we perceive ourselves to fit in with. When we are nude, we cannot see the imaginary lines that we draw for these social statuses, and we learn to draw to people based on personalities. In this way, we are able to befriend people we might never have thought to socialize with in clothed society.

One thing that still worries some people, however, is whether or not clothing-optional lifestyles and venues are safe for children and for families? Nudism is made for families and there are safeguards at every resort meant to protect every guest, including patrollers on staff who are just there to enforce the zero tolerance rules for inappropriate behavior. Children take to nudity the way ducks take to water, and they do not think a thing of it, so we want to protect that innocence in places where families are welcome. Nudism within families also creates an atmosphere of openness, which makes it easier to have conversations that may be more awkward in other families.

Nudism is also fun. Many people become anxious over the idea of being nude around others, however, being nude socially is very relaxing and enjoyable, and it enables a person to widen their comfort zones and truly be themselves. By being sociable while nude we find ourselves being more open and true to who we really are and openness is healthy for good relationships with family and friends, which makes enjoying ourselves recreationally so much easier. There are lots of fun things to do nude and with other nudists too. Essentially, almost anything you do clothed can be done without clothes as well, but some favorite naturist activities include swimming, volleyball, yoga, bowling, hiking, kayaking and paddle boarding. Naked participation in these activities increases the experience more positively, as there’s more freedom of motion and no clothing to act as an inhibitor.

While there are so many good things about nudism, there are also many myths and misconceptions concerning the philosophy. Many people think that because everyone is naked that activities revolve around sex, which is not the case; sexual activity is even prohibited in all public areas within the confines of naturist resorts. But as with anything, if one decides to venture into clothing-optional recreation, be careful; some resorts that claim to be naturist resorts are actually not family friendly, but rather clothing-optional couple’s getaways. It’s always best to do your research ahead of time before making any decisions. Naturism and nudism are non-sexual and family friendly lifestyle choices; it is not pornographic.

There are many more positives to nudism that outweigh the myths and misconceptions. Naturism is a healthy lifestyle that revolves around openness, respect, equality, and acceptance. Social nudity opens up peoples comfort zones in order to build stronger bonds and better relationships. Nudism is a safe lifestyle for kids and families because those involved work hard to keep it that way. Overall, naturism is a free and fun-filled philosophy where everyone is welcome.

AMERICAN PRIDE

JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, “Does that include those who are buried here?”

DeGaulle did not respond. You could have heard a pin drop.

When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of ‘empire building’ by George Bush.

He answered by saying, “Over the years, the United States has sent many of Its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for In return is enough to bury those that did not

return.”

You could have heard a pin drop.

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, One of the French engineers came back into the room saying, “Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?” A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: “Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to

shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships. How many does France have?”

You Could have heard a pin drop.

A U.S. Navy admiral was attending a naval conference that included admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French

navies at a cocktail reception. He found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks when a

French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, “Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than

speaking French?” Without hesitating, the American admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because the Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.”

You could have heard a pin drop.

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE…

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. “You have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked

sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. “Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.” The American said, “The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.” “Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !” The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, “Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.”

You could have heard a pin drop.

If You are proud to be an American, pass this on! I am proud to be an American!

Why the world needs more nudists

Nudism is a way of life that is here to stay as long as humanity exists. Well, precisely, the world needs more nudists. Let’s see why.

1.- Society thinks our bodies are indecent and must be covered up in shame. Society has frowned upon nudism due to the negative influences created over the centuries. Once the human body was perceived as innocent, then clothing became nothing more than a symbol of psychological dependence. We need to advocate for positively promoting nudism, then society is not afraid of nudism anymore. Promoting nudism helps to bring a more nudist society. Let’s help end the misconceptions and aversion of nudism by the general public!

2.- The world has gotten too textile dependent. Clothing requirements have gotten worse over the last few centuries. This might be due to the high formation of civilizations since the 18th century and people got so used to clothing. It has to do too with materialism and globalization. Religions have taught about being modestly dressed, and such biases are now outdated. The textile industry makes a tremendous amount of money on making clothes, and it has been proven that wearing clothing as the norm causes harm. In this day and age, it’s time to get back to the basics and live naked.

3.- We can get along better. Clothing causes more wars and fights. In a textile world, our minds tell us that we’re just different. Well, this is true in things like likes and dislikes, destinies, life stories, and personalities, but in terms of how human bodies look like and are, it’s not that unique at all. Clothes divide us. Denoting social class and status by clothing causes a sense of inferiority in social class and status. Therefore, nudism promotes equality. With equality we therefore respect and get along a lot more.

4.- It’s how we humans were designed to live. Of all species on Earth, we are the only ones covering up, and in shame. We were born naked, and in the first few years of life it may be no big deal to be naked, but afterwards we’re brainwashed to believe that being nude is wrong. We came with nothing in this world and there are people saying they want to leave the world with casual clothes on. What’s the point of this? All other animals can freely roam around naked, yet too many governments and jurisdictions criminalize simply being nude in public. Until when do we have to deal with this? Once the whole world was nudist, then as civilization advanced there came more isolation of the natural world. Clothes make us feel superior to other species. We should live naked. It’s just makes sense that we were really designed to live without clothes.

5.- Atrocities are more accepted than naked bodies. We live in a society that accepts things like violence, war, rape, abuse, and blood and guts, yet is horrified by the sight of naked human bodies. See how clothing is not for vanity and modesty is not about the clothes? Our bodies are not horrifying. Different body parts have been rendered obscene throughout history, especially the last three centuries in certain societies, while bad stuff like violence gets more acceptable. Children are allowed to play violent video games without supervision yet are not allowed to view wholesome nude images of the human body. Many people don’t mind watching violence on TV or movies but don’t want to see nudity, however innocent it is. Even children see the violence, without the parents giving a fuss. Social networks like Instagram and Facebook allow horrific content but the human bodies we all have are banned without clothes. No wonder we have children raised to be violent. How can fighting in wars, watching violent movies, cursing, or abusing others in different ways be something to tolerate more than nudity? We need a lot more movies, TV shows, video games, and books with nudity. It’s unfair to have the human body less acceptable than violence.

6.- Nudism is a healthy way to live. Nudism has been proven to have many health benefits. Health is very important – it’s not worth having money without health. Health is a precious gift, too. Swimming, sunbathing, and sleeping nude are more sanitary than doing them clothed. Nudism promotes a healthier lifestyle than being clothed normally. For example, being naked on a typical summer day outside helps obtain vitamin D from staying some 10 to 20 minutes out in the sun and that is so healthy. The heat is more suitable for nakedness so we don’t have excessive sweating in our bodies causing bad-smelling bacteria. Then the body regulates its temperature. Nudism boosts self-esteem. Nudism improves the health and well-being of society. We should promote nudism, with better health among the many reasons to promote the lifestyle.

7.- Nudism promote social equality. Without clothing we can all converse on the same level. Everybody is accepted no matter what in nudism. Conversations are much easier to start. This equality promotes more peace. Clothes denote how rich or poor one is, which causes more fights. Clothing is one of the primary social divisions. Without clothes we are accepted much easier.

8.- Life is easier. There are many ways that being nude facilitates life than being clothed. Swimming clothed is insane and uncomfortable. Why wear clothes if it’s not to keep warm? Clothing oversexualizes the body. Sunbathing nude prevents ugly tan lines. We don’t have to worry much about laundry, which has been proven to be a waste of time and resources. Public nudity helps society – a lack of it has destroyed careers and severely ruined lives. Nudism promotes family quality time. Nudism promotes emotional, sexual, physical, and mental health. The textile industry wants our money for clothing even when it is not necessary to wear it. Nudism promotes more closeness to humanity. Nudism helps to bring humanity a lot closer together as a species than any religion, nationality, or language can ever do. Clothes are very restricting. Clothing is often uncomfortable. Clothing is made with dangerous chemicals. Forcing clothes on anyone should be a crime and a human rights violation. Too many places, disgracefully, prohibit public nudity, which has been proven to have negative effects. There are people who are so unhappy with their bodies that they have resorted to dangerous stuff like bulimia and plastic surgery to alter their looks, which is unfair. Clothing is often a symbol of body detestation. Clothing doesn’t bring happiness. How can not having anything to wear when not necessary feel like not having anything to eat? Nudism helps us be free. Life sure does facilitate with nudism.

9.- Negative influences have caused us to believe that our bodies have to be hidden in shame. Too much of society has an aversion of nudism. Negative influences that are huge influences in our lives have done this to us. Our parents, the media, and religion have taught it to us. Even among the most avid nudists, it can negatively affect them too. There are too many prohibitions of public nudity, too strict dress codes, and too many requirements of clothing. If this didn’t happen 3000 to 5000 years ago, why does it happen now? Gymnophobia, the fear of nudity, has been normalized and is serious. The fear of nudity is an irrational and excessive fear. We’re not born with any shame of nudity or human bodies, just like we’re not born with any racism or other bad discrimination in mind. We’re taught to not look at nudity and to keep being nude to out of the sight of others. This doesn’t significantly interfere with our daily lives but nonetheless should come to an end. Why? Because it has led to other problems like body detestation, a low self-esteem, and vitamin D deficiencies. We need to educate more than ever now about nudism. It’s for the good of all of us.

10.- It helps with body acceptance and appreciation. Our bodies are beautiful. We were born naked, so how can being naked be rude and even obscene? With nudism we can see how our bodies look and learn to love them no matter what. We possibly have no perfect bodies. We need to have something done to stop the media from announcing perfect bodies. Only humans find their naked bodies offensive. How unfair! We realize that we’re really not that different and each body is uniquely beautiful. The human body is one of the world’s most beautiful things, so why hide it?

11.- We’re in a different time period and now we should freely live nude again. Attitudes towards sex and nudity have been skewing left for centuries, and religious outdated anti-nudity biases no longer affect us. In the 18th and 19th centuries, clothing fashions covered the whole body, but that shouldn’t be so now anymore. In the 21st century, we should be allowed to be nude again with more decriminalizations of public nudity. With the sayings on the changing climate, that’s a good reason to allow being nude a lot more too. We’ve had to deal with problems from a lack of nudism in our lives, and nudism is growing in acceptance, too. In the 21st century, we should be nude to a mainstream level.

12.- Nudism doesn’t discriminate and indeed is for all. Nudism is indeed for anyone and everyone to enjoy. The only thing keeping us from being nudists is our clothes. We can be nudists at any age. Nudism is for babies to 100+-year-olds. Nudism is for males and females. Nudism is for all races, ethnicities, and national origins. Nudism is for people with any disability. Nudism is for all heights. Nudism is for all nations and territories. Nudism is for all walks of life. Children aren’t harmed by nudism. Nudism is for all nationalities. It doesn’t matter who one is, nudism is for everyone!

13.- Our bodies weren’t made for being covered up. We weren’t made to wear clothes. Apart from physical protection when for cold and inclement weather and performing dangerous activities, clothing serves no purpose. Even less were we designed to cover up in shame. Our parents, the media, religion, customs, and peer pressure tell us to be ashamed of our bodies and cover them up in shame. We’re also animals and should be free to be around nude anywhere at any time practical.

14.- There are no ugly or bad body parts. Certain body parts have been designated as “naughty bits”. Why? Too much brainwashing. It’s no different censoring one body part or another. Body parts get censored in movies, TV shows, and anywhere else such images are in, with certain exceptions by certain cultures. Our buttocks, genitals, and women’s breasts get censored and that teaches shame on the body parts. They’re natural parts of our bodies, too, like all other body parts, and they are not ugly or bad. Human naked bodies need to be seen a lot more, and have less violence and other cruel and ugly things around.

15.- Nudism is fun. We should wonder how nudism can be fun. Indeed it is! We may be freely allowed to run around naked as toddlers and a lot of us have swam naked at least once too. That really helps us not to be ashamed of our bodies, for body shame always hurts. Everyone should really try nudism at least. Anyone can be a nudist. One day everyone will be nude again, and I am definitely looking forward to that day. Nudism is important to humanity. Being naked is fun and addicting in a good way. Once we try nudism, at least most likely is that we don’t ever want to go back to clothes. Everything is better when we’re naked. Let’s help promote nudism!

The good news is, more and more nudists are around in the world each time. The future may have even fewer clothing than now. Let’s promote nudism and many more can try it. Let’s have more and more nudists each time until everyone in the world is nudist again!

December 17th - a rescue plan

Some good news, I’ve been talking to two developers now and got them working together, we just had a meeting with the guys behind an existing large (millions of users) site similar to Tumblr, with a vibrant and open-minded community, and more importantly, it has open-minded owners who believe in free speech. They think we can get something done here to rescue the whole community.

I’m not allowed to reveal the site name yet. I can tell you it’s mainstream, open to everyone, open-minded and welcoming. (It’s not WordPress or any site owned by Facebook or Twitter. It’s not Pillowfort, that’s in closed beta. It’s not Ello, that’s mainly for artists. It’s not kinkspace or fetlife, those are too specialist. It’s not jux, that seems to be closed. It’s not Soup, that seems still in development and too small.)

One of the reasons for delaying the announcement for next few days is they don’t want a “land grab” where people take the names of current popular Tumblr users over there (cyber squatting). So they are looking at ways for existing Tumblr users to keep the same names on the new site.

More info over the days to come.

The plan is, broadly:

1. By December 9th, announcement of the new site and how to secure your username there

2. By December 10th, an online tool for bloggers to copy their existing content to the new site automatically, with the same tags and captions.

3. Bloggers will need to copy their content across between December 10th and December 17th if they want to use the automatic tool.

4. My understanding is that after December 17th there will be no public access to any “flagged” posts on Tumblr, but the original poster will still be able to see the flagged post (for a short time at least). Therefore, the original poster may still be able to manually download a post to their own PC or phone, after December 17th, and manually upload it to the other site. But if you have lots of posts that will take a long time, it will be better to use the automatic tool before December 17th.

Please understand that these dates are approximate and may change for technical or other reasons.

There may be a few rough edges or not so perfect looking site design on the transfer tool. Everyone is doing their best. The main goal here is to help as many people as possible preserve access to their content, in the short space of time Tumblr has allowed us, and preserve as much as possible of the Tumblr community spirit somewhere new.

The new site will cater for photo, GIF, text and html posts. It will not offer video and audio posts, due to cost reasons - maybe in future, but for now you will need to preserve video and audio content yourself in some other place.

If your Tumblr blog has a mixture of original content and reblogs, or all reblogs, all of that can be copied over to the new site. Reblogs will become “your” original content if nobody else posted them yet, otherwise they will be shown as reblogs. The devs are looking at ways to preserve attribution of reblogs back to the original Tumblr poster, if that person also moves to the new site.

Important: your Likes cannot be copied from Tumblr to the new site. You will have to go find the same posts again on the new site, and like them afresh.

(Similarly, existing reblog comments, asks, messages and other user interaction on Tumblr cannot be copied to the new site - that’s just too much to do, in the short time available.)

If you want to preserve any of your existing Liked posts on Tumblr, you will need to either: (1) download the post to your own PC, or: (2A) reblog it now to your own Tumblr blog, and then (2B) use the automatic tool, before December 17th, to move your whole Tumblr blog across to the new site.

If you have Liked a lot of posts here on Tumblr, the gridllr.com webapp should be able to help you do steps 1 and 2A quickly, I mean download or reblog.

(Someone complained to me today about the appearance of Gridllr on a phone. It’s best to use Gridllr on a PC, Mac or Tablet with a large screen.)

If you have liked a post here on Tumblr and the original poster decides to delete it, or even to delete their entire blog, some time before December 17th, then that post will be permanently lost. So if you want to be sure to preserve any of your Liked posts, you should best download or reblog as soon as possible. If it’s reblogged to your own blog it is safe from deletion, at least for next few days.

Obviously, you will lose access, after December 17th, to all past posts you have liked, if Tumblr has flagged them as NSFW. Again, the steps (1), or (2A) and (2B) covered above will be the only way to hold on to these posts.

Transition to a Naked Christian Home

After reading about the benefits of naked living, and realizing the]at this is the way God created us to live, parents often wonder how to make the transition to a clothing-free home. Here are some basic steps to follow.

1. Teach your family about what God has done for them to have this privilege. God created our first parents naked and called it “very good”. After sin and the fall of mankind. Humanity self imposed shame for fear of being exposed and vulnerable. Jesus Christ, who the Bible calls the Second Adam, died on the cross and restored our relationship with God. Therefore, because of what He has done, we can be naked and unashamed again. Make sure they know this is something God likes.

2. Begin by setting ground rules for your family. Sadly, there are predatory people on the world who prey on children. As a result, many children are rightly taught about private parts and what other people are allowed to see or not see. One adaptation that can be made is to designate the inside of your home as “private space”. Make it clear that inside the home, and only if mommy or daddy is there, is the space where they are free to be naked. That way they maintain a sense of security and privacy, but can also be free of shame based clothing. If this is the rule for the kids, it must also be the rule for the parents. With this rule in place, make sure that inside the home is the only place you can all be naked.

3. Make it a gradual transition. Rather than just showing up naked one morning, gradually wear less. Dad can do work inside the house without a shirt on. Mom can wear loose fitting clothing without a bra, or even be topless while inside. If you are nursing, done be embarrassed to do so openly where you can be seen by the rest of the family. Eventually, it can progress to not dressing after drying off from bath time, or sleeping in the buff.

4. Make Nakedness a matter of normal life. Don’t even comment about how great it is to be home and naked. Just go about your daily business if life. Make it feel as normal and natural as possible. But again, reinforce that this is only for inside the private space of home. And once the kids mature, nudity will not automatically be equated with sex, and they won’t have the urge to look at forbidden fruit online.

In the end, you know your family best, so do what works for you. These are only suggestions and a place to begin the discussion.

Blessings,

Noah
