The absurdity of swimwear, and why I’ve officially dropped the Nylon and Spandex! I have tucked a nipple back into a swimsuit top in a parking lot. Not a private parking lot. A busy one. With a Tim Hortons across the street and people staring out the main windows. This is the life the swimsuit…
We are asking couples of naturism some pretty intimate questions. No one blushed. (Okay, maybe one or two). These aren’t your typical surface level Q&A. These are real questions for real naturist couples designed to go beyond “How did you find naturism?” or “What’s your favorite nude beach?” They explore the heart of the relationship:…
“Let’s See How You Feel When You Get Old” The first three parts of this series explored the wounds people carry into naturism. The ones born of trauma, identity, illness, childbirth, disability, grief, and difficult histories. Those wounds shape the way people experience nudity, connection, and acceptance far more than most naturists ever admit. But…
We are hoping this year to expand this series of asking naturist couples some pretty intimate questions. Because this is the heart of what makes naturism important to us. Those who live it. These aren’t your typical surface level Q&A. These are real questions for real naturist couples designed to go beyond “How did you…
What Google hides, Bing reveals: How one search engine accidentally became naturism’s best friend Naturists Should Use Bing We know this isn’t our usual naturist-couple topic. But after spending months trying to convince Google we exist, we decided to share what might be the most rebellious naturist act of all… being visible. And how to…
A follow-up to The Psychology of Crossing Lines: What “I Know This Isn’t Appropriate, But…” Really Means Commenting on Bodies It started with an article comment from a reader on Substack “She really has a beautiful body. Outstanding breasts!” Then came a far more thoughtful one from Peter, who asked: “If naturism celebrates the human…
Why the freedom to live authentically isn’t luck… it’s responsibility (with a dash of irony) Every now and then, someone drops a comment that makes us pause. Not out of anger, but curiosity. OK… sometimes in anger… but this wasn’t one of those. It came from someone thoughtful, not hostile… which made it even more…
Because outrage is the only thing people wear consistently anymore There she was… Sydney Sweeney… radiant, confident, and apparently responsible for the moral decay of civilization. Her crime? Wearing a semi-sheer silver dress. And the psychology of being offended? The internet reacted like someone had set fire to the Ten Commandments. Comments poured in: “Have…
We may live nude, but we’re not reckless. Naturism and Inhibitions We were scrolling through our Flickr notifications (as one does when procrastinating on something more responsible), when one particular invitation to share our images to a group popped up that made us pause. It wasn’t another “Artistic Nudes” group or “Natural Light Portraits” group…
Brace yourself. This one might sting a little. Or you might laugh. Or rage-quit. Or dramatically yell comments at us. That’s fine. Take a lap around your yard and come back when you’re ready. Naked, of course. This isn’t a political post. We’re not here to argue left or right, liberal or conservative, Democrats or…
