Nudist Day on July 19th, 2006

An interesting phenomenon happens in the nudist world: Our brains know other nudists from head to toe.

Clothing is optional in virtually all nudist clubs and resorts in the United States. That is, users can elect to keep their clothes on. Not so in many other parts of the world.

Everybody takes pictures to capture precious moments of their lives. Nudists are the same as anyone else, except that it’s not unusual to have a nudist photo album which we show only to those who share our lifestyle.

Let’s get one fact straight: Nakedness alone does not make a nudist! Were it not so, the entire human race could be classified as nudist!
There’s a few things that get passed-off as nudist and definitely aren’t. For example, the Hedonism II and III resorts in Jamaica aren’t nudist venues, even though you often see them [...]

Okay, you can do almost everything naked! Obviously, handling nuclear fuel rods or deadly Ebola virus while nude would be rather unwise!
This author, like many naturists, has gone to the gym naked, had dinner nude in a fine restaurant, cycled in the buff, hiked up a mountain au naturel, gone shopping starkers, and so [...]
