Planet Nude is a newsletter exploring nudity in history, culture, politics and art.
Welcome to Planet Nude, a free daily newsletter and podcast investigating the intersections of nudism and culture, politics, and art.
We embrace the idea that nudity unites us, advocating for the right to be comfortable and free in our own skin. Our mission is to foster a community where naturism’s ideas and benefits are discussed, and highlight how nudity can drive positive change. We explore naturism’s philosophy, celebrate nudism’s unique culture and aesthetic, and spotlight contemporary artists and individuals embodying naturist values.

History of Planet Nude
Planet Nude launched on January 1, 2023, as an independent Substack newsletter exploring nudity through history, culture, politics, and art. Initially publishing essays, interviews, and reviews a few times per week, it quickly grew into a trusted source for naturist news and commentary, introducing an optional paid tier that spring while remaining free to all readers. Over its first two years, Planet Nude expanded its focus from cultural analysis to investigative reporting, historical storytelling, and creative work, adding new features like News of the Nude, Undressed Threads, and the Strips comics platform in April 2024. In 2025, Planet Nude introduced Stories, its fiction imprint dedicated to original naturist storytelling. Today, Planet Nude publishes daily, reaching readers in more than a hundred countries with journalism, essays, and art that connect the political and the playful sides of body freedom—documenting the movement’s past, shaping its present, and inspiring its future. 🪐
