We hear it all the time from naturism advocates: “Desexualize nudity.” It even has its own hashtag. I noticed the phrase being thrown around soon after I joined the online nudist community, and I often found it rubbed me the wrong way. It’s not that I think nudity should be sexual. Just take a look at my Twitter feed, and you’ll see that I’m a strong advocate for non-sexual nudity. But the way it was being used and interpreted by many struck me as overly simplistic, harmful, and counterproductive to the nudist cause. 🪐
