The nudist lifestyle is about body acceptance and respect.
Welcome To Nudist Resources!
Nudism, or naturism, is the practice of going nude or unclothed in social and usually mixed gender groups,
specifically in cultures where this is not the norm. It sometimes occurs furtively in secluded places in
countries where appearing nude in public is illegal, but enjoys widespread acceptance in other areas of
the world. Those who practice nudism are called nudists or naturists. While some believe that being nude
with other people is necessarily always sexual, or that nudism is morally wrong or pornographic, naturists
reject these views, arguing that nudism is a natural state. Nudists believe that the human body is not
inherently shameful, being something that we all possess and ought to cherish.
Typical activities are relaxation, sunbathing and sports, but some nudists prefer also to be nude while
working etc., whenever the temperature and the social situation allows it (including when one is alone). Some
choose to live permanently with other nudists in a nudist colony.
Naturism (pronounced "nature" + "ism") should not be confused with naturalism, the study of nature.
"What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe,
and skin more beautiful that the garment with which it is clothed?"
- Michaelangelo

The quirky world of nudist film is revealed at last. Cinema Au Naturel brings to life many long-forgotten films
such as Elysia: Valley of the Nude, The Monster at Camp Sunshine, and Take Off Your Clothes and Live. In his
account of the history of nudist film, Mark Storey introduces readers to the best and the worst of these cinematic
portrayals of clothes-free life. From the 1930s through today, filmmakers have exploited, documented, and argued
for nudism. Cinema Au Naturel is the first book devoted to these tantalizing films, and shows them worthy of both
lighthearted and serious consideration.

Mark Storey teaches philosophy at Bellevue Community College in Bellevue, Washington, and is on the editorial
staff of Nude & Natural magazine, the quarterly journal of The Naturist Society.
"The main hangup in the world today is hypocrisy and insecurity. If people can't face up to the fact of other people
being naked or smoking pot, or whatever they want to do, then we're never going to get anywhere. People have got to
become aware that it's none of their business and that being nude is not obscene. Being ourselves is what's important.
If everyone practiced being themselves instead of pretending to be what they aren't, there would be peace."
