Weekly Wrap: Jan 11
From social media censorship to family naturism challenges, this week on Planet Nude
Welcome to our 54th Weekly Wrap!
Before we get into it, the city I live in (the city of angels) is burning. An estimated 180,000 people have been displaced by the fires around Los Angeles this week, and many of those people have lost everything. If you have even a few extra bucks in your pocket this weekend, please consider making a donation to the California Fire Foundation to help those impacted directly. Anything you can give helps. Thanks.
This week, we’re tackling some of the biggest conversations in naturism today—from the global fight against social media censorship to the struggles naturist families face in navigating cultural taboos. We also highlight BeReal’s double standard on authenticity and invite you to share your stories. Plus, all-new Strips! Weeze the juice, buuuuud-dy! 🚀
This week on Planet Nude 🪐
Global naturist movement unites to challenge social media censorship
In this article, discover how naturist organizations from over 40 countries have united in a historic open letter to Meta, challenging the censorship of non-sexual nudity on social media. With support from American groups and human rights advocates, this coalition demands moderation reform to combat body shaming and foster inclusivity. The letter’s four key demands aim to create a fair digital environment for naturists and beyond.

BeReal's double standard
Dustin Cox examines how BeReal’s approach to non-sexual nudity contradicts its mission of authenticity. While promoting raw, unfiltered glimpses into daily life, the platform’s enforcement policies alienate naturists and perpetuate harmful stigmas. Cox calls for clearer guidelines, education for moderators, and genuine inclusivity to ensure naturists can participate without fear of censorship.
How do we talk about children in naturism?
This week’s #UndressedThread dives into one of naturism’s most challenging conversations: how to advocate for family inclusion amidst cultural taboos and moral panic. With input from the community, the discussion highlights strategies for overcoming stigma and fostering honest dialogue about naturism’s values. Share your thoughts and help shape the future of family naturism.

Sky Farm Rising
In this episode of Naked Age, we journey to Sky Farm, the oldest continuously operating nudist club in America, and uncover its remarkable history. Founded in 1932 by a group of German immigrants led by Kurt Barthel and Bill Meyer, Sky Farm became a sanctuary for freedom and community. Through a rare archival interview and vivid storytelling, we trace its roots, the challenges it overcame, and the legacy it continues to uphold as a living testament to the nudist movement.
