Do you feel represented by nudism today?
In this #UndressedThread, we’re asking a question about belonging
“Nudism” or “naturism”—two words with many associations, and even different meanings—most often show up through clubs and nude-friendly spaces, as well as in media, advocacy, and online communities. Not everyone connects to those structures, and some people understandably reject the “ism” altogether.
Regardless of how you label yourself, I’m curious whether you feel represented by nudism as it actually appears in these spaces. That can mean whose bodies you see, whose voices get amplified, what values are centered, or what feels taken for granted. That sense of representation can feel familiar, uncomfortable, or somewhere in between.
In this week’s #UndressedThread, we’re asking:
Do you feel represented by nudism as it exists today?
Do you connect with the practice, the movement, neither, or both?
Where do you feel included—and where do you feel left out?
There’s no right answer here. Share what feels true for you. 🪐
I feel underrepresented. Whenever I research anything naturist it is cis het white male centered. Honestly there should be more Black, Transgender and NB representation. We have people doing the work but their voices are often overshadowed or talked over.
I guess I feel represented in a way. I still feel isolated as my nudism is at home mostly. It’s hard to connect with others who are legit naturists who don’t want it to be all sexual. Finding nude-friendly venues is certainly challenging these days. I just wish it was more mainstream and acceptable among all generations. We are not all deviant, hyper sexual people like society portrays us. Just people who enjoy being comfy and natural the way we were born!
