Since I released “Suprised Into Freedom- The Effortless Obliteration of Lust and Body Shame,” I’ve been fortunate to have all 5-star reviews. Granted, these came mostly from an already loyal readership, though not entirely. Well, that all changed the other day with my first, not 5-star review. It was also my first 1-star review. How did this make me feel? Frankly, not great, but I was fine with it. I expected this to happen eventually.  People are allowed to have their own opinions, and this reviewer makes some valid points based on his perspective. There are several items he mentions tha ..read more

Today, we have a video submission for you from sunny Jamaica! Our brother in Christ, Michael, was kind enough to share his testimony about how naturism helped his physical and mental health. He is nude in the video, of course. The transcript is provided below. CLICK HERE TO SEE VIDEO. Hey, hi there. How are you doing? I am Michael Macintosh and I am hailing you all the way from warm, sunny Jamaica. As we would say here in Jamaica, “(indistinguishable)” That’s just another way of saying hi there and how are you doing? For me as far as nature is concerned, And yes, I am the only one that, not j ..read more

The following is a submission from an online naturist friend who goes by “South West Wil”. Thanks, Wil, for sharing it with us! Imagine you grew up on a fairly large island.  On that island were dogs, but all of the dogs were very large and very aggressive.  This was back in the day before travel was so commonplace, so your island was pretty much isolated from the rest of the world.  A good example of this could be if you were an Aborigine in Australia before the Europeans arrived. All your life, you had been told by your friends, family, tribal leaders, holy men, etc. that all ..read more

Let’s talk about shame. Can you imagine what life would be like without shame? The world without shame? It would be much different and far better. The problem is it’s so ingrained in everyone that  it’s extremely difficult to undo its wicked web. That’s exactly what shame is— a wicked web. It’s a trap that captures unsuspecting people and holds them down indefinitely. How did this happen? Where did we learn shame? It’s likely we picked it up from our parents, our friends, and our environment. Shame is born out of words spoken over you. It’s not always intentionally heaped on you by anothe ..read more

Part 2 of my interview with Barefoot Rob features candid conversation about his sweet wife. It’s a very special video. Warning: Video includes nudity. A transcript is provided below. An associate pastor at church found a Twitter post that I had posted, and he questioned me on it. He actually thought my Twitter account was hacked. And he called me and told me that my account must have been hacked, that there was a nudist post on there. And I said, No, that wasn’t a hack. And so he wanted me to come in and talk with him. So I did. Two days later, I was in his office and we spoke for about 90 m ..read more

At Aching for Eden, we want to be a resource that provides helpful information to people wherever they are in their journey. Many of our naturist friends find themselves in the difficult spot of being a solo naturist in their marriages. It is often very hard for wives, especially, to adopt the naturist attitude and mindset. Both society and religious conditioning are very strong and often antithetical to the wholesome values of ethical, non-sexual social nudity. What can be done when a spouse is reluctant to even consider understanding naturist principles and philosophies? We, of course, would ..read more

The other morning, as I was running around preparing for another day, something caught my attention out the window. The sky was a mixture of the most amazing colors! (I wish a picture could do it justice.) Hues of orange, pink, purple, blue and yellow met my eyes and caused me to stop in my tracks! It literally took my breath away! It held my gaze for about 5 seconds and then I had the thought, “I have to tell everyone!” I told my daughter. I ran to Phil who was still in bed and pulled up the blinds on the window and said “you have to see this!” His response was, “WOW!” I immediately got on a ..read more
