Weekly Wrap: Nov. 29
This week on Planet Nude: Seeing beyond the surface, how naturists view the human body, saving history from the trash bin, and an all-new News of the Nude!
Welcome to this week’s Weekly Wrap!
It’s Small Business Saturday, which means we’re contractually obligated (by our landlord and our conscience) to remind you that Planet Nude is, in fact, a small business. One of the ways we keep the lights on and the stories flowing is through our very serious, very silly Etsy gift shop, stocked with goodies for the nude and nude-adjacent in your life. We’ve stocked it with all manner of nude-friendly delights: from cheeky art to cozy home goods to the kind of gear you didn’t know naturists needed until now. If you want to support our work and snag some unusually perfect gifts for the nude-inclined people in your life, today’s a great day to do it.
Featured items:
Greeting cards ($4.99 single / $23.99+ for multi-packs)
Candle ($29.00)
T-shirt ($29.00)
Pickleball set ($69.95)
Doormat ($49.00)
Patch ($16.99)
This week we shared a bunch of great stuff, including stories from history, essays, new comics, and November’s monthly News of the Nude. If you missed any or all of it, here’s your second chance to catch up.
Alright, now let’s get into this week on Planet Nude. 🚀
This week on Planet Nude 🪐
News of the Nude, Nov. 2025
This month’s News of the Nude tracks how bare skin keeps colliding with public anxiety and quiet liberation, weaving together stories of a World Naked Bike Ride assault turned moral panic, a UK naturist testing the limits of “harassment” law, and legacy communities like Spielplatz trying to stay alive. Along the way, it dips into Fortnite’s unexpected nipple moment, Denmark’s survey-backed love of getting naked, record-breaking stage nudity, and sensuous spa and sauna culture from Slovakia to Ireland. Framed by reflections on localism, strikes, and small creators, it’s a fast tour of where nudity stands right now—and where it’s headed.
What are you thankful for?
In this #UndressedThread, a simple question opens the door to reflection and connection inviting readers to pause on Thanksgiving and share what they’re grateful for, creating a communal moment of sincerity and warmth. We are reminded of how gratitude can deepen our sense of belonging and spark meaningful conversation among those around us.
People see sex. Naturists see something else.
Dustin Cox explores how naturism transforms the way people experience nudity. The essay highlights that naturists see comfort, connection, and authenticity rather than sexuality. He shares personal experiences, from college locker rooms to naturist resorts, showing how nudity fosters self-acceptance, respect, and a deeper bond with nature. This article is an insightful, accessible look at why naturism is about living naturally, not about sex.
Rediscovering NYPenns
In this article by Olaf Danielson, we uncover the lost history of NYPenns, a mid-20th-century nudist club in New York and Pennsylvania. This culture article blends investigative storytelling with archival discoveries, including photos rescued from near-oblivion. Danielson traces NYPenns’ ambitious beginnings, its struggle to secure land, and the colorful characters who shaped its brief but vivid existence. The piece stands out for bringing a forgotten chapter of naturist history to life, inviting readers to explore the intersection of community, resilience, and leisure in a vanished era of American nudism.
The Weekly Wrap is coming back
