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

The Year we went to the Nude Beach. A LOT!

The Year we went to the Nude Beach. A LOT!

It’s that time of the year… the days are short and cold and it’s not really the best time to be a naturist. Unless you live in the southern hemisphere, then your birthday suit and your Christmas costume are the same thing. For the last two years, we have been fortunate to celebrate the end of the year right there, under the warm summer sun. This year we were in Europe but in the lovely … Read more

How to Handle Awkward Situations when You’re Naked

Whenever you’re trying something new, awkward moments are almost inevitable. Of course, it had to be you who farted during that first yoga class. It was you who stepped on the salsa teacher’s toes not once, not twice, but three times during a 4-minute song. Not to mention that hiking trip in Spain when you wanted to ask the gorgeous guide to help untangle your rope and said with a big smile “Quíta la ropa, … Read more

Hygiene when you're going to a nude beach

Let’s talk about hygiene when you’re going to a nude beach

The other day we spent an evening with friends and the nudism topic came up. They had just moved to an apartment in Spain in a region that has some splendid nude beaches and although they had never visited one before, their curiosity was tickled.   After all these years of visiting nude beaches, we can answer most questions without even giving it much thought. When am I supposed to take off my clothes? What … Read more

10 Reasons Why You Need to Sunbathe Naked

10 Reasons Why You Need to Sunbathe Naked

We LOVE Mexico. We love everything about it, from tacos to tequila and from mariachi music to the friendly smiles on the faces of the Mexicans. And we love the weather. There’s something mischievously delightful about scrolling through Facebook and seeing our European friends sharing photos of endless rain while we are getting ready for the beach.   The downside is that we left our beloved Zipolite behind and are now in a place where … Read more

Who visits clothes-free resorts

Who Visits Clothes-Free Resorts

There are a lot of assumptions about who actually visits clothes-free resorts. Some think that those places are full of models, showcasing their bodies as if they are in a nude photoshoot. Others think the opposite, that it’s all about people who don’t care about their bodies. And then there is also the stereotype of the elderly naked white man with a beer belly.   When people ask us who naturists or nudists really are, … 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

Going Naked when it's Cold

Going Naked when it’s Cold

A question we regularly get about naturism is “What do you do when it’s cold?” We always find this funny because the simplicity of our answer often leaves people speechless. “We just put on some clothes”.   There are people who passionately follow the mantra “as nude as possible, as much as possible”, but most naturists we meet actually don’t mind clothes that much. This includes ourselves, by the way. We believe that there’s a … Read more

10 Health Benefits of Going Naked

10 Health Benefits of Going Naked

The other day we read an article about the most common diseases of the current times. It wasn’t particularly a positive boost of our day but for some reason, we were intrigued. Mostly because they weren’t what we had expected. We thought about ebola, malaria, or cholera, things you hear about in the news but rarely get very close to you. But no.   Instead, the list contained heart disease, cancer, obesity, depression, anxiety, and … Read more

Seeing a familiar face at a Naturist Resort. Awkward or not?

Seeing a familiar face at a Naked Place. Awkward or not?

We’ve told the story about our first steps into social nudity probably a gazillion times before. So here’s the short version once again: As a birthday present, Lins received two day passes for a Belgian wellness centre of choice. After doing a bit of research, we noticed that at all the really nice ones, bathing suits were not allowed. We would take the plunge, absolutely love it, start searching for more naked places and eventually … Read more
