February 8, 2021 Volume 21, Issue 5 Weekly Newsletter New To Naturism/Nudism? How to become a Naturist in 5 steps or less Remind yourself, that being naked is never a sexual statement: “Naturism is to be close to nature and attentive to natural elements. For ourselves and for those around us the way nature and life was intended. Nude is natural. Life is too short, try Natur- ism!

But in some parts of Western Europe, another phenomenon is fast becoming the new num- ber one spot where people get naked with strangers for the first time. Or even with friends. Especially in countries like Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, the wellness center or spa has proven to be a great springboard for naturism. Of course, these countries are not particularly known for having great weather all year round and the perfect nude beach days are quite limited. Spa centers, on the other hand, are great to visit on a rainy day. With many indoor facilities to keep you warm. And even on sunny days, the outdoor pools are refreshing and the garden is great for tanning without the sand dragging into places where it shouldn't be. European Spa culture Public baths were already popular in the days of the Greeks, Romans, and Otto- mans. They mainly served as a central place for people to wash themselves (water supply networks weren't really a thing in those days), but also as a social gathering place. The rear brushes weren't a thing either, so it would probably be helpful if you could ask someone to cover the parts you can't reach. During the dark ages that fol- lowed, this habit of community toilets was practically lost entirely. Read more It is time to free your body and be at one with nature. The Clothing Optional Retirement Plan Commonly referred to as nudist colonies, naturist communities (the preferred locu- tion) are growing in popularity as a retirement option. For obvious reasons they are more commonly found in warmer weather states although they can be found across the lower 48. Naturist resorts, recreation spots, and communities are more popular than one would expect and big business in the areas they inhabit. These clothing optional retirement options range from a basic gated community with high walls to keep lookie-loos at bay, to luxury developments with a plethora of world-class amenities. Don’t forget to bring your own towel to sit on! Naturist a.k.a. Clothing Optional Communities This seemingly cutting-edge, risqué retirement option has actually been popular for quite a long while both abroad and stateside. The reference to nudist colonies is con- sidered a passee and pejorative term, the reigning argument being that colonies are for ants and not people. The preferred semantic has evolved to a naturist, textile free lifestyle or simply clothing optional communities. Regardless of what you call them, many communities call them big business. Naturist communities, and therefore naturist retirement communities (since they tend to be one in the same), can be found all over the US: North and South of the Mason Dixon Line, East and West of the Mississip- pi. The Naturist Lifestyle Nudity is not just for the young and perky! The naturist lifestyle is touted as a family friendly lifestyle, for young and old alike. Read more 3 Reasons To Stay Naked On Week-Ends You may not be able to spend the working week in your birthday suit, but week-ends are the perfect moment to enjoy some nudity. Ideally, you can drop your clothes on the Friday evening and only wear something again on the Monday morning. Whether you are a committed nudist or not, yet, here are a set of reasons why spending a week -end entirely naked makes perfect sense. No clothes, no washing needed. In an era when we know we are throwing too many detergents and chemicals into the nature, it’s better to limit washing to the maximum. And that requires to have nothing to wash. Hence, nudism! Beyond the savings you are going to realize on detergent and electricity, you will save on chores. No washing means no time spend on this activity. Nobody really likes house chores. So any good reason to avoid them is welcomed! Our skin is our most comfortable suit. It fits perfectly. Sure, it may need some fixing, but overall, it’s a great suit. Is there any inconvenience by wandering around naked? Well, very few. You will need more sunscreen if you go out and your neighbors need to be fine with you being naked in your garden. But beyond this, no negative side effect. Read more Cleaning is always better when you are nude.
