“Bernie and Alex had posted an invitation . . . to
join them and some friends at a naked bowling event up in the Bavarian town of
Ingolstadt, just north of Munich . . . In all, seventeen people turned up,
including four women . . . It was refreshing to see several young couples, in
addition to the more predictable middle-aged men, like myself. . . At first it
was too cool for some of the group, but most of us stripped off immediately and
began a little casual bowling to warm up a bit.
The waitress from upstairs came down to take drink and food orders from
us occasionally, and while she may have thought we were all a bit odd to be
naked bowling, she was very polite and friendly about it. We whiled away several hours with bowling
games and chatting about all sorts of stuff . . . and generally having a good
time.” – Richard F.

“The most common and obvious answer to women’s lack of
participation in naturism is body image issues.
When invited to try naturism, many women respond that they are too
self-conscious about their own body or that they need to lose weight first. . .
society still places a lot more expectations and pressure on women to conform
to a certain beauty ideal (tall, slim, flat stomach, perky breasts, perfect
skin, etc.). There is far more value
placed on women’s appearance than on their character, intelligence, abilities
and / or accomplishments. . . There are multi-billion dollar industries that
profit off of women’s insecurities, always trying to sell us new products to ‘fix’
our imperfections. Through advertising
and the media, women are constantly told what their bodies are supposed to look
like and that their appearance is their most valuable asset. . . In many ways,
naturism is a great antidote to body image issues. . . being naked around other
women in everyday situations (the spa, the locker room, etc.) will generally
benefit women’s own personal body image in a profound and significant way. By seeing diverse body types, women will
realize that nobody matches the perfection of what they see in the media. So it’s unfortunate that these issues keep
women from trying naturism to begin with.” – Felicity, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/why-naturism-has-lady-women-problem-today/

“[While freehiking] I've had a few encounters too and
I was surprised that they didn't go crazy, but I think people who hike enjoy
nature, and if there was a sign at most entrances to hiking areas saying clothing
optional you would see more folks nude, but everyone is afraid of getting
complained on, photographed, or worse arrested. . . if someone is out there doing something offensive sure arrest them
but mere hiking nude should be more acceptable . . . when I get out on a trail
I really believe I become one with nature - I step more softly and observe more
of my surroundings. I also think the
wildlife isn't as disturbed.” – Gabare, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=132&idt=52238&page=2

“Naked Lunch: a place for dinner, talk and nudity -
Imagine any meeting you have with your friends, you get to take a few drinks,
talk or watch a movie: that's what we do the same, but naked. . . Some of the
attendees are previously known and, as they would in a normal party, gossiping
and get familiar with their lives, while others simply enjoy drinking coffee
and eating in the comfort that gives them not wear a garment. Nudity here definitely has nothing to do with

“I snuck out for what turned out to be a pretty long
solo hike this afternoon. About 4 miles
of the 8 ½ spent naked. . . I’ve come to the conclusion I/we do two distinctly
different types of hikes (me naked more often than not and Dee occasionally
naked). One type is the leisurely 2 mph
type where we (have the breath to) talk and, I would say, enjoy the scenery
more. The other is a cardio workout
where, even though I enjoy the scenery, it’s exactly that – a workout. Today was a workout! I was trying to get to a peak that we can see

get undressed for bed?’ I said ‘You mean
naked like you?’ He just looked at me
funny and said ‘Yeah!’ So, off came my

“On July 29, 2010, ten members of the SoCal Freehikers
gathered to hike the Cedar Springs Trail above Idyllwild, California – 8 men
and 2 women. We waited at the trail head
until most of those who were expected had arrived. It was great to see our freehiking
buddies. There is always a special
camaraderie with others who understand the joy of freehiking. We hike clothed for a short distance at first
because we were near a scout camp - we could hear the kids below. Soon we were past the camp boundary and were
able to undress – so much more comfortable than walking in sweaty clothes. The first part of the trail meandered through
meadows and shady groves of oak. Then
the trail climbed for 1.5 miles up switch backs, making for a fairly easy
uphill climb. Walking along the trail
mostly single file, the breeze cooling our bodies, gathering at lookout points
to rest and enjoy the view - freehiking with good friends in nature – it just
doesn’t get any better than that.
Climbing from just over 5000 feet to over 6800 feet in about two hours,
we reached the top of the ridge where the trail crossed the Pacific Coast Trail
at Desert Divide. We paused to eat lunch
in the shade of an oak. The entire town
of Palm Springs could be seen down the canyon in the distance below. After lunch we decided to turn back rather
than to continue down the slope to Cedar Spring. Along the way we paused several times under shady
oak trees to rest. Near the end of the trail we dressed, and soon after greeted
the only other person we saw on the trail – a young man riding a mountain
bike. Soon we returned to our vehicles,
and said goodbye to our SoCal Freehiking friends. This was such an enjoyable hike for all -
unforgettable. It’s too sad other members missed this exceptional freehike.” -

perfect bodies everywhere. And everyone
else is, just like you, carefully trying to hide every imperfection behind
layers of clothes and make-up. On a
naturist site you rediscover the diversity of the human body. The people you compare with suddenly also
have some love handles and their boobs are also influenced by gravity.” - http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2016/10/10/7-reasons-want-nudie/

“. . . I genuinely think, as a 20-year-old female . .
. that ‘Nudism’ and the whole volleyball/resort and online scene of nudism has
become so detached and stale that it will continue to put off women and young
people unless it's reframed in its attitude towards nudity and even
renamed. In my opinion, it desperately
needs to be imagined as a tool to promote female empowerment. Likewise, it needs to get away from this
image of an alternative lifestyle of near compulsive nudity . . . a lifestyle
or being naked 24/7, so much as it should be about accepting nudity as
perfectly acceptable in normal society in certain contexts when clothes aren't
practical, like swimming, at home with friends or a hot day at the park. If it just so happens you enjoy being nude
all the time, that's great, that's just your preference not some odd
subculture. Lastly, it needs a charge of
civil disobedience and protest to ignite it as a real social movement.” - https://www.reddit.com/r/nudism/comments/5kff24/nudism_needs_to_burn_itself_and_rebuild/
“I had the opportunity to scuba clothes free twice and
I loved it very much.” – Roger, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/11/20/a-sophisticated-naturist/
“I usually put the recycling out naked as there are no
houses opposite and if any traffic comes along the road I can discreetly stand
behind the wall and gatepost until they have passed. However, on one occasion the car stopped and
a lady got out and came to the gate to ask directions. As I had nothing to cover myself with and she
had already seen my nudity I simply stood at the gate for our conversation . .
. There was no adverse reaction whatsoever” – John Gw, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=1908.25;topicseen
“In Europe, I like Spain most as it offers a wide
range of nude beaches and nudity is part of the culture in this fabulous
country. In the U.S. I frequently visit
Haulover and Playalinda beach. But the
best of them all is the nude village in Cap d’Agde in France.” – Roger, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/11/20/a-sophisticated-naturist/
