Internet Back Up Before The 4th of July Let us give Roger and Clint a special thanks for taking the initiative to get the WIFI up and running after the unfortunate electrical accident earlier this week. Both had been working almost non- stop to, first figure out the problem and then second to arrive at a solution. Clint actually made a Friday, before the 4th of July, trip to Hemet and back to pick up a much-needed part to repair our WIFI. Then Roger and Clint worked late into the evening to complete the repairs.

Many thanks for your dedication. Inside this issue

A new phenomenon has emerged in recent months something I call pay per view nudity. Recent- ly many social media platforms have cracked down on nudity. While Facebook and Instagram have always had somewhat strict policies Twitter and other have increased their censorship in response to some public concerns. This increased scrutiny led some people online looking for places to .express” themselves fully without censorship concerns.

Twitter which has long been the most open of the platforms to nudity revised it terms of to include new provisions related to nude images. For example have a nude image as your avatar or cover photo can get your account suspended or deleted. Twitter is also following the lead of other platforms like Tumblr and Flickr where nudity is permissible but account which have dis- plays of nudity must be marked as such so as to be restricted from viewing in search results but the general public. Into that gap has stepped web site like Patreon and the newer entrant into the nude for profit space OnlyFans.

The pay per view concept developed around the sport of boxing which once upon a time used to make money by selling rights to broadcast boxing matches to the broadcast and then cable net- works. Some promoters decided to cut out the “middle man” and sell the right to view premier matches directly to the boxing fan. The fan paid a fee to be able to view the match. The pay per view has been adopted by many other media entities who believe their fans are willing to pay to get early or unfettered access to their product. Read more

In our case it is normal that when the temperatures allow it, we are naked at home, that is, we practice family nudism.

Although we love practicing nudism in nature, we practice it at home whenever we can, since it is not a matter of "now I am doing nudism", it is a lifestyle.

We are lucky to be able to work from home and that is why we spend the morning with our work, most of the time dressed, because early in the morning it is cold and because we make 4 several video conferences with coworkers and clients. Read more When Mowgli Met Huck

This is a “what-if” post, a conjecture. It’s based on a photo that appeared on my Twitter feed. I saw the photo and instantly thought the man on the left to be Huck Finn. Then, my brain, very quickly but slowly enough for me to understand the process, jumped from one late nineteenth- century literary classic to another, and arrived at the conclusion that the man next to Huck is… Mowgli.

In the photo, the phenotype of the man on the left, with the hat and the kind of stick one could use to move a raft, made me recall a passage from Mark Twain’s 1884 novel Adventures of Huck- leberry Finn (cited in a different post on “stolen nudity”). The passage, in Huck’s voice and refer- ring to his life on the raft with Jim, reads: “Soon as it was night, out we shoved: when we got her out to about the middle, we let her alone, and let her float wherever the current wanted her to; then we lit the pipes, and dangled our legs in the water and talked about all kinds of things–we was always naked, day and night, whenever the mosquitoes would let us–the new clothes Buck’s folks made for me was too good to be comfortable, and besides I didn’t go much on clothes, no how.”

The man on the right, in the photo, has a phenotype that does not match Huck’s companion Jim, but rather… Mowgli. The protagonist of Rudyard Kipling’s 1894 story collection The Jungle Book (and The Second Jungle Book in 1895) is a South Asian “man child” raised by wolves in the wilds of India, who would not have worn clothing despite what the movies would have you be- lieve. He holds a banjo, and yet it kind of evokes a sitar… Read more

No mistake! Whether you believe in creation or , one thing is certain and undeniable. Clothing has never been part of nature’s equation. There is only one correct answer.

This Is What Happens To Your Body When You Sleep Naked

Usually, if I sleep naked it’s because I was too tired/lazy to put on my pajamas. On a typical night, I slip into my favorite old T- and worn-in sweatpants and get all cozy. But on the nights I sleep naked, I’ve noticed I tend to wake up more refreshed. (Or, at the very least, I don’t stare at the ceiling for two hours in the middle of the night.) So, does something happen to your body when you sleep naked?

The truth is there are many factors involved when it comes to falling asleep, staying asleep, and being able to get out of bed the next morning without requiring one or two cups of coffee.

Experts say it all starts with “good sleep hygiene.” This includes setting the thermostat between 60 and 67 degrees (the ideal sleeping temp), turning off bright lights, and doing something relax- ing before bed. It also means repeating this process every night so your body can fall into a rou- tine, and that includes choosing a bedtime and sticking with it—even on the weekends.

Sleeping naked isn’t necessary, but it is a habit that may contribute to better rest when paired with these other tricks. It also happens to offer a few more benefits beyond good sleep. So, if you're curious about what happens to the body when you sleep naked, read on below.

Your body temperature regulates

If you tend to feel more comfortable sleeping naked, it probably has a lot to do with “thermoregulation,” which is a fancy way of saying “maintaining temperature.” Basically, “the body has the ability to keep its ideal temperature of 98.6 degrees while we are awake,” Bill Fish, a certified sleep science coach, tells HelloGiggles. “That said, when we go to sleep, our body and brain begin to rest, and our body instinctively lowers its temperature.”

Studies have proven that you need to cool off in order to get good sleep. But sometimes that process gets interrupted when you’re wearing too many layers—like underwear, socks, pajamas, etc. “By having clothing on, you are essentially restricting this process of lowering the tempera- ture,” Fish says. Not to mention that the heat increases your chances of having night sweats, which might explain why you wake up at 2 a.m. in a pile of damp sheets. Gross.

The general opinion about naturism is that it’s something social. If you like to hang out in the nude while watching Netflix, you’re often considered “just a nude person”. Only when you fre- quent nude or visit naturist clubs or resorts, spending time with other nudies, people start considering you a naturist.

Before we started Naked Wanderings, we didn’t have a clue about the existence of home natur- ism. Being nude at our home has been the case as long as we can remember, long before we got a taste of social nudity. But then we started to get in touch with naturists around the world and noticed that for many, social nudity just isn’t an option. Some of them have a partner who wants to have nothing to do with naked people. Others live in a country where public nudity is strictly forbidden. Some can’t afford the club membership fee or have reduced mobility or live too far away from any or resort.

This is all perfect when you don’t feel the need for social naturism, but what if you want to so- cialize with other naturists but just don’t get the chance? In the end, all good things are better when shared and because naturists are a minority, we sometimes feel the need to belong and to talk about our lifestyle with others who understand what it’s all about.

Luckily, there’s always the web. Thanks to the internet, we can socialize with pretty much every- one around the world from our living room. All of our phones have webcams these days, often more than one, so we can actually see each other. Now the main question is: Where to find these other online naturists?

You probably know that Google won’t be a big help. Search terms like Read more
