Is the world becoming more or less body free?
In this #UndressedThread, we’re looking at where nudism is heading in an increasingly polarized world
The world is changing. In some places and in some ways, we are seeing greater acceptance of public nudity—nude beaches, body-positive movements, and even legal protections for naturists. Meanwhile, in other ways and in other parts we are seeing the culture cracking down on nudity with social media censorship, restricting expression, media-fueled moral panics, and new legal restrictions. So, which way are we really moving?
In this #UndressedThread, we’re asking:
Do you think the world is becoming more open or more restrictive toward nudity?
What signs of progress or setbacks have you seen recently?
What’s the biggest obstacle to a more body-free future?

I can't speak about the world but with respect to England, it's complicated. The law is clear that public nudity in and of itself is not illegal and WNBR and naturist beaches are clear evidence of that. On the other hand I feel there is an orchestrated pseudo-moralistic theme that uses inferred offending and implied affront to oppose body freedom. It is not evidentially based and someone saying 'I was shocked' is assumed to be telling a truth while a naked person who says they had no intent to cause offence is disbelieved. Ordinary people do not have the resources to hire expensive lawyers nor much belief in authority's stated legal principle of innocent until proven guilty. The situation is exacerbated if you are male. Sadly, I must admit that I no longer have the appetite or courage to confront prudes and bigots. I no longer have any confidence in the law...
