Byournaturistlife April 23, 2026April 23, 2026

A personal look at naturism, pornography, and the limits of our own story There’s a conversation the naturist community doesn’t love having. It sits at the uncomfortable intersection of the two things we work hardest to keep separate: nudity and sex. But we’ve learned that avoiding uncomfortable conversations is usually how they find you anyway,…

One Year Naked on our Website… And Somehow You’re Still Here! One year ago today we hit publish of our first article on our new website, Ournaturistlife.com, and started documenting our naturist life journey. We had no roadmap. No strategy. No growth model.

Untangling motive, misperception, and the ethics of being seen nude Let’s just get this out of the way. There’s a word that makes many naturists squeamish and a bit uncomfortable. Not “nude.” Not “genitals.” Not even “sex.” The word is exhibitionism. So let’s talk about naturism vs exhibitionism. Not defensively. Not politely. But honestly. Yes,…

Byournaturistlife October 12, 2025December 29, 2025

Why so many show their bodies, but not their faces. Somewhere along the way, social media decided faces were optional. If you spend any time scrolling through Reddit, Twitter, and other corners of the internet where people share nude images… one thing always stands out: many people hide their face. Blurry filters. Cropped heads. Emojis….
