Thanks for sharing this information about nudism in Brazil.

This was very interesting. It also gave me a chuckle when the ladies at the beach undressed the fellow who accidentally spied them. I enjoyed the older times, and the part with the snakes.

Luz was a beautiful soul, so lovingly connected to Mother Earth. Those local fishermen couldn't just mind their own damn business! They had to meddle and correct/restore their toxic version of reality. Just like the Christofascism taking over our country right now, all these narrow-minded cretins live in fear of the unknown. Only when the majority of the world is enlightened enough to dance with and be at peace with mystery can we all progress.

What an intriguing person she is. Thank you for bringing her to our attention.

Nudity in Brazil is a complex and fascinating topic. Carnival and dancing may give the impression of a tolerant attitude toward the human body and nudity, but the reality is quite different. Brazilian society is extremely conservative and, despite some progress in recent years, is shifting toward intolerance due to the rise of religious extremism.

It’s a pity Luz Del Fuego isn’t around anymore.
