Normalizing Nudity

The best way to normalize nudity is to just be normal about it. If you’re acting extremely secretive or embarrassed about it, it can appear to others that you think it must be wrong.

Most people don’t like to be labeled a “nudist". But they might occasionally participate at a beach, hot tub or resort if they feel it is normal. So set a good example by being normal.

Don’t try to overtly convert others. That can drive them away. You may like golf, bowling or woodworking but you wouldn’t normally keep pushing bowling on them if they didn’t seem interested. If they are interested they will ask about it. Otherwise they will be totally fine with your recreational choices. That is all you can ask for and that is good.

205 Arguments and Observations In Support of Naturism

More than ever, Naturists need powerful arguments to defend their chosen lifestyle against those who cannot see beyond their own misconceptions and preconceived notions. We need evidence and testimony to encourage others to give Naturism a try. For several years, I found myself making claims like these:

"Actually, Mom, taking the kids to a nudist park is good for them."

"The ideals of Naturism are consistent with the goals of women's rights."

"A lot of famous people don't think skinnydipping's such a bad thing."

"There's nothing in the Bible that says it's wrong to go nude."

"Naturism has some real psychological benefits."

"Not everyone in the world thinks nudity is so bad, you know."

I knew that these statements were true, but when pressed, I could not back them up with concrete references. And so, this project was born. Extensively documented with quotes, references, supporting research, and resources for further study. Compiled by K. Bacher
