When the media judges nudists the way they do it could make people feel they are a freak or weird if they go to a nudist resort. There is sometimes a shame involved as well. Educating the ‘public’ that it’s ok to not have a perfect body is an uphill battle especially in the age of social media. But it’s one we need to take on.
i try not to listen to the people that are critical of nudity. i go to nudist resorts in florida and the pocono mountains and it feels so good being naked and free and everyone is so friendly.
To me, it seems like until you become a full fledged member of the social nudity lifestyle, you never really heard anything positive about it. For example, I've lived in NJ since 1984, and never knew until last year that there's a long established nudist resort (Sky Farm) only 20 minutes away. And when the media does do a story regarding nudity it's from a humorous snickering approach of (with apologies to Monty Python) Nudge-Nudge-Wink-Wink-Say-No-More... It wasn't until I joined AANR and became a member at Rock Lodge Club nudist resort that I found out that most resorts have FB pages. People need to be made aware of such things BEFORE they join the lifestyle. I just wish I knew how to do that. After all, strip clubs advertise on radio shows, so I don't think they'd have an issue with nudist resorts.
I believe religion is a huge one. Just yesterday, my pastor told me I am not qualified to serve at our church due to my stance on Naturism. That is frustrating and disappointing. Even though I have tried to show him that the bible is neutral on simple non-sexual nudity, he will not accept it and has come to this decision.

It's a heinous mix of misunderstanding, misinformation, body dismorpiha, fear and prejudice towards nudity, nudism, and nudists

Opposition to social nudity by your partner. Divorce and emigration is my extreme solution !!
