This scientific research makes the case for a core value of naturism, having a deep connection with nature. Not just being in nature to take pics but letting the transformational healing power of nature change you.

The is the key to promoting non sexual nudity focus on human beings character and connection not on the nudity. That is what the Clothes Free Life Ubuntu inspired approach ethical naturism is all about. Focus on the human in a naked body align with those of consistent positive character and make authentic connection with the whole person not their nakedness. If you resonate with that reach out.

Bell Hooks on Love


This is why I appreciate the late bell hooks approach to inclusion and social justice. You can say you are about love freedom and inclusion as some "ethical" naturist do and express abusive behaviors.

"When we understand love as the will to nurture our own and another’s spiritual growth, it becomes clear that we cannot claim to love if we are hurtful and abusive. Love and abuse cannot coexist. Abuse and neglect are, by definition, the opposites of nurturance and care….”

Before US nudists and naked people promote the equalizing nature of individual nakedness and nudism in US society they might do well to listen to the perspective of Dr. Robin DiAngelo

What are ethical naturists?


Someone asked what is an ethical naturist?
First off they are people whose behavior is shaped by an ethic an ethic is a principle or philosophy that defines how i lice and interact with others. For me the ethical principle of Ubuntu informs my naturist ethic along with the following

I value
The human in naked bodies
Deep connections with nature
Personal self control
Managing the gaze
Non discrimination based on identity
Collective input above self interest
That is my ethical naturism

Thinking is difficult that is why people judge - Carl Jung

“The most boring and the most dangerous people are those self-righteous people who would have you believe, they have no skeletons in their closets.

In fact, they have no closets. They’re full of baloney. I mean, I think that before you judge anybody, you should look at yourself and have enough courage to admit what you see.”

Good example of cultural nakedness aligns with naturism - social nudity in a sauna isn't about showing sauna community is a community of trust based on shared cultural values in the same way naturism doesn't require naked pics to have trust demonstrated shared values is where trust is earned. So this influencer filming in a sauna was wrong and so are the naked content creation influencers who say trust them because they post naked pics and distrust those who don't.

We could ask a similar question about naturism. Not to suggest that people getting naked isn’t happening but has the core mission of naturism been superseded by commercialization and commodification that serves only a few people.

Which category does the unethical behavior of so called “ethical naturists” fall into watch the video and share your opinion

Melanated naturists do not let people tell you dont belong


Melanie naturists watch this video and remember do not let other naturist tell you don't belong unless you see through their lens. Naturism by the current modern definition has been a part of our cultural and ancestral history for centuries. It was extracted from us through enslavement and colonization and given others names to erase our presence. But you belong so find your tribe, form new spaces where you can be safe and truly belong.

Anne Hathaway demonstrating allyship


Which we had people in naturism who would take these kinds of public lic stances instead of feeding us a contract stream of naked vacation videos. Its how the real allies of marginalized people speak instead of saying trite stuff like naturism makes us all equal. Allies actively interrupt the status quo. Because ally is a verb more than a noun. If you are that kind of ally reach out.

Tolerance of Epistemic vices


This video asks a question that should be pondered by natueist online and elsewhere- why do some of us tolerant inconsistent hypocritical behavior among naturists while eagerly attacking others who we may not agree with just becuase we disagree. ex a self described ethical naturist behaves unethically and it doesn't register as a blip among naturists on social media.

Observations of diversity


There were many examples of diversity in naturism observed weekend including
- A naturist religious service (Christian )
- A person with differing abilities (hard of hearing/deaf) reading lips in naked yoga class
- African Americans
- Adult couples
- Single adults
- Families
It was what naturism was envisioned to be and what it has the potential to become. That is what we dream of and work toward on the naturistsocialproject.com

This is straight up crazy stuff. AI model atracking other AI who ask from help from another AI model but get rejected and have toseek out help from yet a different AI model to defend themselves. What a crazy time we live in. Maybe naturist should be much more mindful about the advance of AI and how it may destroy any hope of community among us.

Who knew Nigerian newspapers used to publish topless and nude photos of women in the 70s?

Interesting to see how this works among naturists rude aggressive highly opinionated people can dish it but cant take it. Usually becuase their total identities are wrapped in the acceptance of their opinions without question. The minute they experience and equal energy evennif it is positive they fold
