This is the reality of the problem with the emphasis on posting naked pics. No matter how many times it is said normalizing nudity isn't really a thing online. It's why we focus on normalizing naturism instead. Values principles and ethics that focus on human beings changes lives not seeing naked bodies. If you disagree provide the evidence.

Who knew rest and relaxation was a virtue recognized by the Catholic Church. Pay attention naturist Catholics not only did a past Pope say nudity is ok and not necessarily sexual but the church extols care for the environment the virtue of rest and a relaxation and the current Pope says the dignity of human beings is the highest priority sounds like ethical naturism is highly aligned with your faith.

The fundamental issue for the growth and development of nudism - particularly in America cost and access. In order to be in just be clothes socially most people have to travel and/or pay something. We are going through it in the U.S. economically and no one has a solutions beyond starting new days to validate clothes free life like home nudist day (and collect a fee) or creating a self designated group (and charge a fee for membership) something that was meant for supporting working class people has become an event for the elite.No one is sharing a vision for how the ordinary person can find solutions to this problem.

Luv this perspective and wish there was more of it among the naturist community. We talk about freedom but ignore the people who aren't free and call ourselves diverse and inclusive. We laid celebrity naked people and ignore the challenging lives of ordinary people. We are busy telling people who may not food to eat just get naked and all will be well. The early naturists were all about transforming lives for large groups of people not pursuing individual celebrity. That is what leaders like Lee Baxandal. It isn't always comfortable but it is neccessary. At the NaturistSocialproject.com we are promoting a renewed and rooted naturist movement join us.
