Emboldened
This thoughtful essay by M.M. explores the challenges threatening the inclusive spirit of naturism. Emboldened: Keeping naturism safe for everyone reflects on the growing hostility in the world outside naturism, including misogyny, discriminatory attitudes, and the loss of clothes-free spaces. With a personal and urgent perspective, the essay calls for active measures, such as DEI initiatives and codes of conduct, to ensure naturism remains a sanctuary for respect, safety, and freedom. It’s a heartfelt appeal for bold action to preserve the vibrancy and diversity of the naturist community.
Can naturism help cure loneliness?
This week’s #UndressedThread asks: Can naturism help cure loneliness? With one in five adults reporting daily feelings of isolation and the decline of shared social spaces, this discussion explores whether naturist communities can provide a remedy. By fostering meaningful connections and shared experiences, could naturism address the loneliness epidemic? Readers are invited to weigh in, share their perspectives, and consider how naturist spaces might reclaim their role as hubs of genuine connection in an increasingly disconnected world.
Your body, my choice
This compelling essay examines the rise of the slogan “your body, my choice” and its dangerous implications for autonomy and respect. Spawned by far-right movements, the phrase challenges the very principles naturism upholds: body freedom and unconditional personal respect. The essay delves into how this slogan, cloaked in sarcasm but devoid of irony, seeks to undermine body autonomy, particularly for women. It calls on naturists to reject this sentiment and stand firm in defending the values of inclusion, respect, and self-ownership. Through advocacy and visibility, naturists can resist the encroachment of these harmful ideologies and protect the freedoms they hold dear.
