This week on Planet Nude 🪐
News of the Nude, Oct. 2024
This special "spooky" edition of News of the Nude is packed with eye-opening stories on body freedom, naturist resilience, and unusual legal debates from October’s news. Highlights include a Dear Abby column that champions naturism, an Ipsos study revealing high support for nude beaches among Canadians, and a deep dive into Minnesota’s legal views on public nudity. Plus, after natural disasters, Florida's naturist communities share updates on recovery and rebuilding. This issue also covers AI’s controversial impact on body image and privacy and a jaw-dropping opera in Germany with naked roller-skating nuns. Plus, a brand new nude-themed crossword puzzle!
Becoming a naturist journalist
A compelling essay by Marc Bonhomme on his journey into naturism and the path that led him to become a naturist journalist. From early curiosity to first visits at nudist resorts, Bonhomme shares candid stories of self-discovery, professional exploration, and the memorable experiences that nudism has brought into his life.
Nine unique things you didn’t know you could do naked
A lively report highlighting nine surprising and quirky activities naturists have embraced in the nude, drawn from Planet Nude readers’ own creative experiences. From the thrill of naked paintball to the hilariously vulnerable experience of nude karaoke, these inventive ideas prove that naturists are constantly finding unexpected ways to embrace life without clothing. Whether it’s stealthy rounds of laser tag, naked trivia nights, or even haunted houses, these reader-sourced activities show there’s far more to naturism than beaches and spas.
What's the future of public nudity?
This week’s #UndressedThread dives into the mixed landscape of public nudity. From wins like the saved beaches in Toronto and Seattle to challenges facing nude beaches in places like Hawaii, Wisconsin, and Florida, the global picture is varied. Europe continues to support naturist spaces, and in Taiwan, the movement grows slowly despite legal barriers.
The question: Will we see more public spaces for nudity, or will restrictions continue to limit access?
We’d love to hear your thoughts! Should more public areas be open to nudity, or should efforts focus on dedicated spaces like beaches? Where do you think public attitudes are shifting, and what opportunities for change do you see?
