I’m curious which ones you use, and especially “Why”? There are tons of social media out there in internet land. Sometimes it’s as if there’s a new one born every day. Everyone knows about Twitter, which so far is a reasonably good naturist place. That is: until someone decides your account is bad and reports you to the censor bots. Once your account is slammed shut, good luck in getting it back. (Been there, tried that, opened a new account.) In less flattering ways people know of Facebook. It’s a huge, micromanaged universe (Metaverse :p) on its own, where porn and all kinds of nasty thing ..read more

Ohhhh, yes. Touchy topic. I know. That’s why I pick it. Children on the beach, by Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida To kick in an open door: children are the future. I am quite certain that most people will agree with that. Children, then, are also the future of naturism, nudism, the clothes-free lifestyle, or whatever label you care to slap on it. We all (almost all?) know that kids prefer to run around naked when they’re young. Of course, there will always be exceptions, like Inuit children, but even on good days I can imagine they want to run around nude in the snow. When there’s no wind, and abun ..read more

At the moment of writing this, I’m in my eighth week of almost total nakedness. The weather has been amazing here over the past couple of months. Hot even. Yes, also much too dry, which is an unfortunate bonus, but with respect to being clothes-free, it was fantastic. I only wore the least bit of clothes to go to customers’ sites, to work on location. That wasn’t very often, and my drying laundry is proof of that. Loads of towels, a few pairs of socks and some shirts. The weather is now turning, colder weather is coming towards us, but there will also be rain. Being naked just about all the t ..read more

…when seeing a nude person. As I wrote in a previous post, I’ve been exploring routes where I can walk naked. At least partially. Getting there requires being dressed, but the more nude walking time I can get, the better. Over the last week I ran into a few people. Three, to be precise, and it struck me how different they can react. Don’t get me wrong; none of them made a fuss or had negative comments, but still, their reactions were quite different. One morning, on a Sunday, I walked along the river. A great spot where I can go nude for 2km. Along the river On the way back, I met a lady who w ..read more

(No, I’m not a British Naturism member.) During the COVID-19 years that now don’t hover over us so loomingly any more, I was pleasantly surprised to read, via many sources, that naturism was getting more attention and followers. Most probably because people were working from, and staying at home much more, and so they understood that clothing could be optional – or even completely discarded. (We all know what our preferred option is.) The biggest surprise, in that area, was the boost in member numbers for British Naturism. This made me wonder if the naturist organisations in other countries h ..read more
