Where nudity meets history, culture, politics, and art.
Planet Nude is a free daily publication covering nudity through journalism, history, culture, and art. We report on the legal battles, the threatened beaches, and the political fights. We dig up the forgotten figures and lost clubs. We publish comics, fiction, and podcasts. We do it every day, and we do it for free.
Nudists who read, read Planet Nude.
What can I expect?
Daily posts covering the nudist world and beyond — original reporting, essays, webcomics, podcasts, discussion threads, and naturist fiction. Something lands in your inbox every day.
By default you get everything. If that’s too much, your account page lets you choose which newsletters to keep. Most people stay subscribed to all of it.
What do paid subscribers get?
Planet Nude is free — every article, essay, comic, and podcast goes to our full list and lives permanently at www.planetnude.co. Our commitment is to keep the daily work accessible to everyone.
Paid membership exists because this work takes time, and time requires support. For $6 a month or $60 a year, members sustain the journalism and get early access, occasional exclusive posts, and paid Discord channels.

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. 🪐
