"I come from a country where you don't wear clothes most of
the year. Nudity is the most natural state. I was born nude and I hope
to be buried nude."- Elle MacPherson, Australian
model and actress.
Christianity &
Naturism
I personally am a convinced Christian
who accepts the Bible as the "Word of God." But I cannot bring myself
to use the scriptures to beat others over the head, nor to seek to
misuse them to demonstrate things for which they were never intended.
Furthermore, I have never heard of any definitive decisions on the
part of any of the so-called established churches with regard to the
active practice of nudism.
Thus, in the spirit of charity and
love spoken of by St. Paul, I find that it is increasingly possible
for us as believing, practicing Christians of all denominations, to
join together in the practice of nudism for the physical,
psychological, moral and spiritual benefit of us all.
The discussion of the Bible and
nudism is especially interesting today, with the cleaning and
renovation work being completed at the Sistine Chapel. After centuries
of shamefulness, in which the papacy ordered Michelangelo's nudes to
be covered with garments and robes, Pope John Paul II has given
permission to the restorers to return all of the 40 or so figures to
their original state of nudity. Thus we shall have before long the
greatest display of full frontal nudity in one of the great churches
of the world!
If you are a believer in eternal
life, how do you think you are going to appear in that physical state?
How are you going to meet Jesus Christ, his Mother, and all the
saints? Obviously you are going to be nude, in the glory of your first
creation, and so shall all the others about you be bare of any
adornment, no longer needed for any reason. Jesus, his Mother, the
saints all nude! Shocking, scandalous, blasphemy!
I mention this to make the point that
nudity and the human body are not to be rejected as something evil and
disorderly. We have made of clothing an absolute fetish, not merely a
need of covering and protection of the body under certain
circumstances. No one can reasonably object to the necessity for body
covering at certain times and places. Even clothing as decoration
perhaps has a place, for it does appear in all social structures that
humans wish to decorate their bodies, whether clothed or naked.
Unfortunately, we are today faced
with serious and dangerous excesses on the right and the left. It
often seems that the excesses of the one tend to animate and foster
the excesses of the other. But there is, to my knowledge, no organized
libertarian group that is a true threat to the valid rights and honest
liberties of the broad middle.
On the right, however, are a number
of organizations -- powerful, influential, and financially strong --
that for whatever motivation, seek to impose their beliefs,
convictions, and objectively erroneous interpretations on all others.
This is not to say we should be
tolerant of every conceivable conduct, especially those harmful to us,
our children, and our honestly acquired property.
But we have seen, in the very recent
past, how some of these self-proclaimed authorities have fallen far
from the state of perfection in which they had placed themselves, and
in their preaching they have duped many good people into contributing
to their personal and very questionable way of life.
Does it not seem strange that here in
the United States, a nation to which millions have fled to escape all
kinds of tyrannies, we have now apparently come full circle, and we
find a tyranny that threatens us, a group seeking to dominate the vast
majority who only wish to be left in peace to practice ways of life
that do not harm others?
Short Reading About Nudist Culture
-Swimming Nude is Better
You don't have to fight the waves to keep your swimming suit on.
The water feels better against your bare skin than a wet swimming suit.
When you get out of the water, a swimming suit stays wet and feels bad.
When swimming nude, you won't get sand in your suit.
-Fewer Clothing and Laundry Hassles
Nudity reduces laundry costs.
Fewer washings reduce wear and fading, which in turn reduce how often you need to buy new clothes.
Eating nude considerably reduces the chances of spilled food staining and ruining your garments.
Deciding what to wear becomes a trivial decision instead of an often stressful decision.
Travelling for nude recreation cuts down on the amount of luggage that you need to carry.
Nude backpacking reduces the amount of gear you need to carry on your back.
-Sun Helps Clear Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a non-contagious skin disease that turns skin purple. Dermatologists have a treatment of sitting under a flourescent light to simulate the sun's ray. Why simulate? Go nude! The sun causes the body to produce dihydrxycholecalciferol. The more sun on the more skin, the better!
-Sleeping Nude is Better
By allowing air to travel freely over the entire body, the body is better able to distribute heat. This allows you to actually be warmer in the winter (under blankets of course) and cooler in the summer.
-Sunbathing Nude is Better
Sunbathing nude prevents those nasty tan lines and allows the entire body to benefit from the positive effects of the sun.
-Being nude can help prevent lyme disease.
Lyme disease is carried by the deer-tick. This little bug appears to bite when it lodges itself between clothing and skin. By being nude, they are much more easily brushed off before they can find a place to bite.
-Skinny dipping can help reduce rash from sea lice.
Sea lice, or jellyfish larvae stings cause a painful, itchy rash. The sea lice sting when they get trapped between your suit and skin. The obvious conclusion is to reduce your swimwear to reduce the chances of getting stung.
-Nudity may improve fertility
Being nude allows the male sex organs to better adapt to changing temperature. Tight, restrictive clothing inhibits the body's natural mechanism for doing so, which could cause reduced fertility.

The Naturist materials on this nudist Website are legal in every city, every state and every county inside the United States. They are protected by the First Amendment and are not subject to local obscenity laws or ordinances. The depiction of adults and children nude in the visual media has enjoyed constitutional protection in the United States since 1958, when the Supreme Court vacated a Court of Appeals finding that Sunshine & Health magazine could be obscene (Sunshine Book Co. v. Summerfield, Postmaster General, 355 U.S. 372). The right to depict adults and children in innocent nude poses has been upheld without a pause for 41 years. In case after case, the Supreme Court and lower courts have always upheld the constitutionality of "nudity without more," specifically referring to the nudist depiction as a fully constitutional form of expression. Our picture and video galleries are widely promoted in all of United States, Canada, Asia, Europe, South America, Canada, Australia and Africa amond most major countries. The only exception may be countries where nudity of any kind is banned, i.e. Iraq, Syria, and Iran. |
