Why we think naturist federations should change their strategies

We like to see ourselves as revolutionary nudists. We try to spread the idea that naturism is not just something for a bunch of grannies who stopped caring about their body image ages ago but that it can be fun for anyone, no matter age, colour, shape or religion. As long as you’re willing to look outside the old “naturist box”. In several of our previous blog posts we’ve blamed the naturist federations for maintaining that … Read more

The link between naturism and yoga

Why do many naturists practice yoga and are many yogis interested in naturism? Well, that’s simple. Both lifestyles are for women who had their puberty in the late sixties, took way too much acid, engaged on a lifetime search for enlightenment and swore never to shave their armpits again. That’s it. End of story. At least, that’s what we thought until we became interested in those lifestyles.   Only recently we figured out that both … Read more

Do we need to be scared of perverts at the nude beach?

We’ve all heard the stories… Dirty old men sitting in the corner of a nude beach or behind a dune while looking at you (or your partner). Teenagers in board shorts passing by, checking out the “merchandise”. Couples giving each other just that little too much attention just that little too close to you. And these stories about nude beaches are true, people don’t invent them. Although they might exaggerate a bit, but that’s what … Read more

The pros and cons of social media for the future of nudism

The pros and cons of social media for the future of nudism

We had our issues with Facebook, no doubt about that. But in the end they’re not going to change their rules for us, naturists and nudists. They are big businesses. They react on the requirements of a majority. They don’t care that some Naked Wanderings blog (a very good one by the way, you should read it sometime) complains about getting temporarily banned or that a woman starts questioning wheter or not a fraction of … Read more

Nudists, don’t run away!

We’ll sketch you a scene here: A beautiful Tuesday afternoon , there’s a beach on Antiparos, one of the amazing Cyclade islands in Greece. The sun is high in the sky, the water is in different shades of blue and the soft sands are calling to put down your towel. The reason why you picked this beach and not one of the many others on the island is because it’s one of the only official … Read more

Why we need more naked beach parties

Many established naturist organizations, nudist clubs and nude resorts are seeing black snow at the moment. The average age of their members is increasing and they struggle to attract new, younger naturists. So they came to a conclusion: Youth is not interested in naturism anymore. They have become prudes, they are too much focused on the beauty descriptions from the fashion industry or they are just too busy with their work, social lives and families. … Read more

Size does matter: Big vs small nudist camps

The difference in nudist campings is enormous, ranging from the small 10 spot campground which normally caters only to members and once in a while a guest to huge naturist villages like Cap d’agde in France. The choice can be difficult, which kind of nude camping to choose? Both types have of course their advantages and disadvantages, and what seems to be an advantage for one isn’t necessarily the same for someone else. To help … Read more

Our First Naked Pilates Class

We are promoters of the naturist lifestyle. All of you who have visited our website before already know that. We think that getting naked and enjoying social nudity has a lot to do with getting out of your comfort zone, especially in the beginning. It’s often pretty difficult to explain to someone how comfortable your non-comfort zone can actually be. Getting out of it is a bit difficult at the beginning and does require a … Read more

What we learned from working in a clothing optional campground

One of the items high on our nudist bucket list was to experience living naked. Like really living, for days and weeks in a row not to wear any piece of clothing. It’s not easy unless you’re a multi-millionaire. Or if you work on a nudist campsite of course. That’s how we ended up 2 weeks helping out at clothing-optional eco campsite Full Monte in Montenegro. Since it was the first time that we actually … Read more
