“. . . for me what really ‘seals the deal’ on naturism
is being nude in nature. Clothing always
strikes me now as sort of a barrier between me and the Earth. I revel in the freedom of movement, in the
feel of the cool Earth beneath bare feet, and the breeze on my naked skin. It is a spiritual and fulfilling experience
for me.” - Peter O., Maryland, https://www.aanr.com/veterans-and-nudism&page=5

“This last Sunday, after the morning service, I found
my wife talking with our (female) senior pastor. She was enthusing about the naturist holiday
we have just booked for March, in Lanzarote, and encouraging her to visit
Infiniti on Fuerteventura in one of the non-naturist weeks. She then started talking about the
clothes-optional days we enjoy at Abbey House Gardens. All this time, someone else from the church
family was standing just to one side, waiting to talk with the pastor. So I think there is now someone else who has
a fairly good idea of our interests and activities in this area.” – Sanuachap

“How much time do we actually spend naked? Is it possible to really be at peace with
your body if you never spend much time with it?
This strange juggling act that we play between our bodies being for
aesthetic and sexual purposes, and as a machine that allows our continued
existence means that we are always worried about the maintenance and upkeep but
never look at the product itself. . . Getting naked now means actively

THE
NAKED 4-H’s
By
Ken Sunwalker
One bright, sunny day in the forest, Goldilocks met
the three bears, and asked “why are you bare”?
Good question!
How would you answer Goldilocks? Why are you a bare-naked person?
Not an easy question to answer; with so many complex
and detailed answers.
The solution is to “Keep It Simple”. The 4-H
approach makes it easy to remember and answer this question in a SIMPLE way.
What are the four H’s?
- Happy, Healthy, Human, and Honest.
Happy
For me, this is the most important answer to why I
enjoy being a naked person.
The sun and breeze caressing my entire body makes me
realize exactly how much I miss by covering the majority of my skin – the
largest sense organ. I can avoid the burden
of uncomfortable, ill-fitting clothes that shut out the world. The naked FEELING is amazing!
Naked is FUN! Remember
skinny-dipping? Playing naked is like
being a carefree child again. No wonder
it’s such a challenge keeping clothes on young children.
I believe freedom is essential to happiness. I feel free when I’m nude. I forget my every-day cares. And I am not so influenced by other’s
opinions and cultures and fashions.
Since nakedness Feels good, is Fun, and sets me Free,
it makes me HAPPY. It’s that simple.
Ask yourself if your current approach to living makes
you Happy. If it’s not fun and freeing,
it’s wrong for you. And since you have a
choice, why not feel Happy, fun, and free, rather than scared, serious, and
sad? Get naked!
Healthy
Here’s another important answer about why I live a
naked lifestyle:
Naked keeps my mind SHARP! Exhibitionism, voyeurism, inappropriate
sexual thoughts, sexy behavior, pornography, and the like simply disappear in
the light of naked reality. Naked, my
mind can focus on spirituality and creativity and truth.
A naked life makes me STRONG. Naked in the sunlight, my body soaks in lots
of healthy vitamin D. Seasonal Affective
Disorder (SAD) disappears. My love of
nature and the outdoors grows, so I’m motivated to engage in natural activity
and exercise. Not only that, but nudity
encourages me to eat right and avoid unhealthy habits. No weight disorders here!
And these healthy benefits reduce everyday STRESS. Why worry?
Many people believe that going naked causes stress; instead it helps me get
rid of it. Nakedness brings calmness, complete
relaxation, and comfort. Nothing
restricts or confines me. Inhibitions
and shame disappear. Naked meditation
and yoga fit well here. I am less
self-conscious. My naked life is great!
So, a naked life helps me be HEALTHY - Sharp, Strong,
and Stress-free.
Again, ask yourself if your current approach to living
makes you Healthy. If not, it’s wrong
for you. And since you have a choice,
why not be mentally and physically Healthy, and stress-free, rather than slow,
sick, and worried? Get naked!
Human
Naked, I am very Human, so less judgmental, with a realistic
body image, and positive social interaction.
JUDGMENTAL? Naked I realize that everyone has different
ideas and desires. After all, they are
simply being human. They don’t “have” to
agree with my opinions, and I don’t have to agree with theirs. All can make a contribution.
I’m realistic about BODY IMAGE. Seeing other’s bodies confirms that no one is
perfect, so I quickly discard comparisons and negative thoughts. I see everyone’s body as beautiful – flaws,
scars, weight (or lack thereof) don’t get in the way anymore.
With a non-judgmental attitude, and lack of concern
about body image, it’s easier to be SOCIABLE, to make new acquaintances and
friends. I enjoy spending time naked talking
in the pool or hot tub or on a mountain trail or playing a game. This is not a sexual closeness, but a feeling
about shared beliefs and attitudes and activities. My very closest, most trusted friends are naked
people like me.
Again, ask yourself if your current approach to living
is realistic for a human being. If
you’re striving to be something other than human, it’s wrong for you. And since you have a choice, why not be truly
Human, less judgmental, with realistic body image, and sociality, rather than trying
to be non-human – impossible - and ending up a biased hermit? Get naked!
Honest
Finally, nakedness helps me be me. I’m more open and truthful and confident and
humble, so I am real.
Naked,
I 'm completely OPEN; I am totally in my natural state. Since I was a child, I enjoyed being
naked. (Most children do by the
way.) Now, as a naked person I am open
to reality and truth. I accept who I am
and why I’ve felt the way I did throughout my life. This does not mean I disregard other
interests and talents, but as a naked person I don’t concern myself with
others’ opinions; rather, I follow my own interests and truth and love being
me!
I’m CONFIDENT! No
fear! Out of fear, some people become
home-only, secret nudists, hiding behind walls and curtains, who run to get
clothed if a visitor arrives. They don’t
display naked statues and photos. Still
others reserve naked adventures for vacations far from home where only
strangers will see them - no one they know will know. That’s not me. Being happy, healthy, and human makes me
confident, and that makes me attractive.
I tell others who I am. I’m not
afraid to appear naked. I don’t hide or deny
my nakedness. I won’t get dressed just
to please others. I am who I am.
I’m HUMBLE. Humility
is a strength; it doesn’t mean you’re a push-over for others. Humility means being open, being teachable,
and being willing to share with others. A
Humble person accepts the Truth when it appears, so humility naturally brings a
person closer to deity - spirituality increases. Nakedness therefore helps one live a more
spiritual life. Misguided beliefs, fear,
hiding, secrets – God will guide the “Humble”, spiritually-oriented naked
person to overcome these false concerns and accept and share the truth. You are reading this because you were guided to
it
Finally, ask yourself if your current approach to
living is honest. If you can’t be open, confident,
and humble, it’s wrong for you. And
since you have a choice, why not be Honest - open, determined, and humble. Don’t try to live a lie. Nothing will be right! Get naked today!
The
Answer
Why live a naked lifestyle? Why build a naked home and yard? Why talk to others about naked truths? Why hold naked events? I’ve often wondered these things, but now I
understand. And to keep things simple
and easy to remember, if asked, I just say I live a naked lifestyle because it
makes me HAPPY, HEALTHY, HUMAN, and HONEST.

ideation; (vi) social ‘problems’ (3) associated with sexual behavior (getting
pregnant or having gotten someone pregnant, and getting an STD); and (vii)
quality of sexual relationships, attitudes, and beliefs. . . To determine
extent of exposure to nudity . . . parents were asked two questions in a
face-to-face interview . . . ‘Does mother (father) go nude in front of child?’
and ‘Does mother (father) bathe or shower with the child?’ . . . (25%) children
were not exposed to any parental nudity, . . (44%) . . . were exposed with
moderate frequency, and (31%) . . . were exposed frequently. . . A number of
trends were found that were significant at p [less than] 0.05 . . . Exposure to
parental nudity predicted lower likelihood of sexual activity in . . .

participants who were sexually active. Exposure to parental nudity
also predicted reduced instances of petty theft and shoplifting . . . exposure

“Historically, Catholic tolerance for nudity of any
kind has waxed and waned. During the
Renaissance Era, best remembered for the works of artists like Michelangelo,
works of art and statuary depicting nude figures sometimes drew criticism from
the Church hierarchy. In particular, the
nudity depicted in the Sistine Chapel drew condemnation from Pope Adrian VI and
other highly placed members of the clergy.
The Pope wanted to see the images stripped completely; however, only a
few images were altered in later years to conceal nude images in accordance
with an official degree, associated with the Council of Trent in 1563,
condemning the use of nudity in religious art.
Today, the Sistine Chapel is among the most visited and revered areas
open to public viewing via the Vatican Museums. The artistic nudity depicted
here is no longer a point of major contention. The museum, including the
chapel, have become a source of revenue and positive public relations for the
Church.” – Jordan Blum, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/catholicism-and-nudism/

“It's one of those warm, dry, late summer days. You arrive at the beach with just the bare
essentials - towel, sunscreen, snacks, and some beach toys. You pick a spot near other families - perhaps
your kids will meet a new friend or two?
Once you spread out your towel, your ‘changing room’ is ready. You drop your clothes on the towel - or
possibly put them in plastic bags to keep them separate and free of sand. No hassle, no problem, no smelly bathroom
with filthy floors - and you know where your kids are at all times. With the sunscreen applied and a good book in
hand, you settle back and enjoy the complete caress of the sun and gentle sea
breeze. You notice in passing that the
kids have selected an ideal sandcastle site (out of throwing distance from
you), and have invited some neighboring children to help. The kids go at their castle-building with
gusto, and the sand gets everywhere.
You're not concerned though, as cleanup will be a snap. When it's time to go, you herd the kids
towards the shallow water where they can rinse off all the extra sand. You pick up your youngest and assist them in
rinsing off - perhaps using a bucket if the water is too cold or rough to stand
in. Since there are no swimsuits to
worry about, the cold is over quickly - in fact by the time you've helped everyone
else into their clothes, you're practically dry. You rinse your feet off with a bucket of
water before stepping into your shorts.
How convenient, and how very natural - just another wonderful day at the
beach.” – Alan P

“It’s unhealthy for naturists to gather together to
drink and smoke as if getting naked somehow encourages these obviously
unhealthy practices. On the contrary,
naturism discourages these nasty habits.
It's unhealthy for naturists to neglect mental and spiritual
stimulation, and hide from others.
Demonstrating that they are different, not sheeple, by stepping outside
the constraints of society and culture, and rejecting the negative effects of
textilism and sexual perversion, naturists should be seekers after all truth
and leaders and teachers and missionaries.

imprisons us.” - Sean Tobin, http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/lifestyle/arts/our-skin-protects-us-but-also-imprisons-us
“The human body naturally tells the story about the
life of its author without words, whether it be covered with layers of
beautification, labels of expression, inked in forms of art or simply scarred
through wounds once conquered.” - Melissa Dejanude, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nude-for-thoughts/
“Of course, nude sunbathing is OK for ANYONE who wants
to. It feels wonderful, is healthy and
builds self-esteem. If you don't like
the way we look, then don't look!” – Richpasco, http://www.vogue.com/13485903/male-nude-sunbathing-vacation-tom-brady-orlando-bloom-justin-bieber/

“The law is so unclear that some trials say we are
guilty for being naked in the forest and some trials says that it’s OK and not
unlawful. So for the sake of our safety
and freedom, we really need to have this clarified.” - Jerome Jolibois, http://en.rfi.fr/france/20161103-naturism-comes-out-closet-france
“Cycling naked for climate change” Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e_Q57WlITM
“I am a figure model and have been nude many times in
the studio before. It has led me to be a
person who has discovered the freedom in nudity and understands it. It really is a beautiful realization to have
in knowing that every body is beautiful for its own unique, individual
being. And so I think the naturists tend
to be very brave and strong people.” – Samantha Marie, http://cruisebare.com/my-first-nudist-experience-by-samantha-marie/
“I think the best part about being raised nudist is
that being nude has no connection to sex for me. There was nothing indecent about my growing up
and my parents are not exhibitionists and my mom didn't parade herself around
in front of a bunch of guys for a thrill.
That is just simply gross.” – Krissy, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nudist-moms-home-nude-family-nudism-etiquette-kids/
“I found myself walking around one of Brittan’s oldest
naturist resorts . . . pausing to swim in its pool, and rest in the shade of
its magnificent trees, wondering to myself ‘Why has it taken me almost half a
century to discover this delightful pastime?’” - Philip Carr-Gomm, A Brief
History of Nakedness, 2013, p. 259
“I started noticing an urge to be nude when I was
about 14-15 years old, but I wasn’t educated on the life style and thought it
was kinda wrong to do it . . . My parents are a bit old fashioned, but
eventually they did start to support me. . . About 9 years ago it was a killer
hot day and because I have no A/C I decided to quit clothes and found myself
researching the lifestyle. I love it!” – Eric, http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2017/01/19/naturist-talks-eric-canada/
“Almost any activity can be done naked. Start practicing naturism by doing some daily
chores clothes free. You'll love it.” - https://twitter.com/ohionaturist/status/817778066646794242
“With naked yoga, it is all about knowing, embracing
and loving yourself at your core. A big
part of naked yoga involves honoring and connecting with your body.” - http://spotnaked.com/naked-yoga-6-benefits-get-naked-yoga/5691/
