Naturist New Year’s Resolutions Sure, you may already have a list of resolutions for the new year – which, if things go as usual, you may not manage to fully keep. So having more suggestions might not be what you were hoping for. However, since you’re a naturist, or at least may have seri- ously considered becoming one, there are some important resolutions you should consider adding to the list. If you’re curious enough about naturism to be reading a blog like this, one of the most important things you could be thinking about for the coming year is how to spend a lot more time being naked. So if it would help to keep things simple, here’s the sin- gle resolution that should go on your list: This year I’m going to step up my involvement in naturist activities. What you actually do depends on how much in the way of doing naturist things you’ve already done. For instance, if you’re strictly a beginner, you might spend more time learning about naturism online through naturist blogs, Twitter accounts, etc. Find out what naturist activities and facilities are available not too far Read more How did you feel the first time you stood naked in your own back yard? Censorship, Conspiracy Theories, And The Co- opting Of American Values Apparently, my naked butt is PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE! I’ve just been inducted into the ranks of those who’ve gone before me in having their Instagram accounts disabled, resulting in the disappearance of a blog with about 500 posts and nearly 15,000 followers. There was no warning. No previous flags on the account. And no change in my posting habits to speak of. The rules for IG are clear: No female nipples. No genitalia. Buttocks are allowed if not a close-up with the intent of sexual gratifica- tion. This is my third encounter with seemingly random censorship in as many years. You can read my Eulogy for Tumblr that I wrote after falling victim to their sweeping policy changes related to posts containing nudity. My page still exists out there someplace, simply because I never got around to deleting it, though it’s largely a graveyard of deleted posts that once again, featured more images of – you guessed it – my naked arse on mountain tops, swimming in the sea, or sitting at my desk. Hard core stuff, I tell ya! Ironically enough, when I bounce back into Tumblr every now and again, it’s seems just my luck that I drop into a page with blatantly pornographic content that somehow slipped by the butt police. I guess you can’t catch ‘em all. My second row with social media censorship was when Facebook specifically targeted a “page” that I kept for Meandering Naturists, with about 1200 followers. In that case, I had posted a link to a story from another, “mainstream” publication that had images in the body of the article that auto-populated onto my news-feed. I didn’t realize what had happened until I logged on the next day, only to find red flags all over my page, and a warning to remove the images or reply within a very narrow window of time.

This in spite of the present pandemic crisis when our opportunities for getting out and meeting others has been restricted, In return BN has offered much in the way of virtual events to these new (and existing) members from discussion groups and virtual pub evenings to yoga classes. This re- flects the recent widening of horizons that have been available to naturists living in the UK. Before we go any further you have not misread the word as “naturalists”; indeed it is “naturists” who believe in a clothes-free lifestyle and meet socially with others of like mind. Historically naturism has been practiced in the home, within the high-fenced confines of sun clubs (which are like social clubs) or at certain “official” or “unofficial” naturist beaches, that are often difficult to access. That nudity in public places is illegal is a common if understandable misconception. Read More Whenever possible, just let it go and enjoy the feeling of being naked. Water Volleyball Highlights My First Experience Of Social Naturism This story can fit 75-125 words. Hello everyone, I am not good at writing but will try my level best to share my first experience of social naturism.
