This is a fascinating and well presented article. So much to process; I've read it twice already and expect to read it several more times. In today's media hyped world, Francis Bacon's famous quote is more important than ever: KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

This is a well-considered article that highlights serious issues in society and threats to naturism. I would be interested in how people think we should combat the unfounded hysteria. Reason and evidence-based arguments seem to have little effect. Do we fight fire with fire and use similar tactics to highlight the critical dangers that the clothing industry is having on the environment? Or is that stooping to their level in a race to the bottom with regard to reasoned debate?

The mob the undeserved influencer inflicted on our community is unforgivable.

Evan, once again, you’ve generated an incredible and valuable article that knocks it out of the park. I’d like to speak with you about a legal symposium with CLE credits for attorneys called “Non-Sexual Nudity: Threat or Benign”. It was held in at Florida International University in North Miami Beach in the late 1990s. Presented there was an impressive study on nudity and children conducted by a professor from the University of Northern Arizona who attended the symposium. It was done while I was on the Board of NAC/NEF. Since I was the event organizer, I’ll look for the professor’s name and contact information. It’s time the naturist community conduct another legal symposium as well as a unity political/PR summit to plan an offensive campaign strategy to prevent the demise of safe legal family Naturism in this country.

Wow Evan. What a well done, informative and insightful piece. This is a prime example of the quality work you provide to our community and the world beyond. This also demonstrates the need for thoughtful information about naturism - thank you. I do hope your comment toward the end of the piece that the truth always prevails (I paraphrase) comes to fruition. In our current world there are too many examples of the opposite.
