"Sure, some people might believe they are offended by nude bathers,
but, if you never encounter anything that offends you in your
community, you are not living in a free society."
- Corky Stanton
Isn't Nudist Bad? Are
Nudists All About Sex?
The lack of understanding and ignorance
affects naturists in a negative way. We are confined to very few
private (and expensive clubs) and our back yards. We don't have the
rite to use any parks or beaches because of the strong opinions
against nudist of MPP's and because we are such a small minority. If
half of all Canadians were naturists then we would have sanctioned
areas. Perhaps there are ways around restrictive legislature, but
finding that route is the difficult part. The bible describes Adam and
Eve, nude in the garden of Eden. There was no shame or immorality,
just beauty and happiness. This makes me wonder why so many religious
icons declare nudity immoral. Perhaps they chose to ignore the
meanings that Genesis demonstrates.
The anti naturist point of view is
that not wearing clothing is shameless. However, naturists can not
quite understand the fixation with shame. We can not quite understand
why one should be ashamed of their nude body. Perhaps shame comes from
being scared to acknowledge one's imperfections as normal. Naturists
agree that they are not shameful of the human body, perhaps it is this
that binds the community.
Mentally, there is an association for
many people between nudity and sex. Since there is an association that
is already present, it is sometimes assumed that there is overt sexual
conduct in the nudist/naturist environment. This is very much untrue,
since the nudist community has strict rules about no sexual behavior.
It is more Young in the naturism environment than it is in other
places because the naturism community is a family environment. The
nudity equals sex misconception is embedded deep within many people in
the world today. The only way in which naturists can counterbalance
this misconception is by educating the non-naturist people.
Short Reading About Nudist Culture
The most common problem women have toward a nudist environment is the fact that most think that only perfect 10's will be there and they will be embarrassed by other women. This is simply not the case. Only one in twenty (or less) has an exceptional physical appearance and naturists view all people as beautiful. Just as everyday people, some may have physically attractive bodies and may be proud of them, but most have average physiques and no overwhelming desire to flaunt themselves. When visiting a nudist environment, it soon becomes apparent that human beings are not rated on a scale on one to ten, based on body type, but rather on individual merit. They feel that personalities shine while exterior features have very little meaning.
A pamphlet which has helped many women better understand and adjust to nude life titled, A Woman's Perspective is available from the ASA, Incorporated, 1703 North Main Street, Kissimmee, Florida 34744-9988 USA; 407-933-2064. It details the average female nudist's attitudes about the practice and benefits of nude recreation for women, men and children. Yes, children. Experiences with children at nudist sites seems to suggest that the lifestyle also helps children to better cope with the pressures of growing up. Child naturists seem to be quite relaxed and have no problem with shedding garments. Also, incidents of abusive acts are much more rare than in "clothed" society. Children at these facilities are clean, considerate, and very well mannered.

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. |
