Future of Naturism

Social Media Censorship: The Community Reacts

Social Media Censorship: The Community Reacts

If you’re a naturist content creator or just anyone who likes to share advice, experiences, or thoughts about naturism online, the terms “shadowbanning”, “Facebook jail”, “content removal”, and the most unfortunate one, “total ban”, probably make all the hairs on your body come straight up.   It’s an endless cat-and-mouse game in which we, the content creators try to adjust to the tight rules of social media (and maybe bend them here and there) and … Read more

Monetisation of naturist content explained

The monetisation of naturist content explained

Unlike what some seem to believe, paid naturist content is not something new. For many decades, naturist federations and clubs have been publishing magazines and newsletters that were uniquely for their members. Unless you paid the membership fee, or you had generous friends, you didn’t have access to this content.   For the longest time, these organisations had quite a monopoly on such publications. If you wanted to know what was happening in the naturist … Read more

Clothes-Free Vacations of the Future, Another Guess

Clothes-Free Vacations of the Future, Another Guess

In November 2020, we wrote a blog post about what naturist vacations could look like in 2021. It’s funny to re-read this because it was only the first year of the COVID pandemic and we seemed positive or ignorant enough to think that only a few months later we would wake up in an – although very much changed – free world.   We were wrong about the two basics of that post really… 2021 … Read more

The Naked Revolution

The Naked Revolution

Why does one become a naturist? Some people will tell you that this question is irrelevant. You were born naked and in the first years of your life, clothes may have felt more of a burden than it does to the average adult naturist. Being naked is our natural state and being clothed is nothing but learned behaviour.   Those are very valid statements, of course, which we can’t argue with. But later in your … Read more

Why Social Nudity has Never Been Bigger than Today

Why Social Nudity is Larger than Ever

Is the end of naturism showing up on the horizon? Are we all becoming more prude than ever before? Are drones, smartphones, TikTok, and Instagram forcing our youth to put on another layer of clothing rather than take one off? Will new technology make sure that soon babies are born wearing pyjamas? Well, it is according to this article (except for the pyjama baby, we just made that up) and it’s the biggest bullshit we … Read more

Nudity as a Tool

Nudity as a Tool

We took our first steps into social nudity at a wellness centre. For those of you who are not from Belgium, Germany, or The Netherlands, wellness centres are like water parks for grown-ups. They offer a variety of swimming pools, saunas, hammams, hot tubs, cold tubs, massages, and other things that are meant to give you total relaxation. Nudity is the dress code at these places, for reasons that we’ll get to in a moment. … Read more

When Amazon came to the Nudist Resort

When Amazon came to the Nudist Resort

Once upon a time, The United States was known as “The land of freedom”. The place where everything was possible. A refuge for 19th-century Europeans who felt suffocated or persecuted in their home countries and dreamt of a better life. Everything, even the complete impossible, was possible in America.   Today, especially in naturist circles, Europeans like to joke about the USA. Land of freedom… yeah right. Land where you’re likely to get fired or … Read more

Why more people than you think support naturism

Why more people than you think support naturism

A couple of years ago, we were hiking with friends in some woods in France towards a creek. The idea was to have a small picnic and a skinny dip once we’d get there. It was really a spot in the middle of nowhere, but luck wasn’t on our side and when we arrived, two women were fishing for crayfish.   “So far the skinny dipping”, we thought, but one of us did walk up … Read more

Getting comfortable around naked people

Getting comfortable around naked people

You are not going to believe this… The other day, we received a message from a reporter at an online magazine, asking us to comment on a message from a reader who feels uncomfortable when his nudist girlfriend spends time naked with her dog. Even claiming that “it’s something out of an illegal adult movie for her to be naked with an animal all the time”.   We thought it was a joke. Until we … Read more

To provoke, or not to provoke?

To provoke, or not to provoke?

We’re on an island called Koh Rong Sanloem, off the coast of Cambodia. There’s no naturism here, nor anywhere else in the country. For the last couple of days, we’ve been asking several expats if they think it would be possible to start a naturist resort here. The locals are mostly fishermen or run small shops or restaurants. They don’t care much about us tourists. Although their culture and Buddhist religion isn’t really favourable to … Read more
