Normalizing Clothes Freedom

The next time you go to a textile beach, think, "It would be nice if there was a naturist section here". Or the next time you go to a restaurant, think, "Wouldn't it be nice to dine here naked sometimes"

The more we begin to condition ourselves to the possibilities of a clothes free way of life, in all areas of our life, the more we begin to create the ways and means for it to happen. The more textiles (people who wear clothes) see naturists incorporating nudity in ordinary day to day activities, the more they see Nudism as an idea accessible to them and the closer we get to the goal of normalizing nudity.

Clothes Free participants are the natural ambassadors for naked living and when we do even the simplest things naked that will make the world of impact in the mind of someone who has been conditioned to think that nudity should a. only be in the bedroom b. is dirty and sinful and shameful

Having naturists appear on morning television discussing their issues (as was recently done by British Naturism's Pam Fraser and Mark Bass) helps to bring naturism out of the shadows and into the mainstream. People may frown, quarrel or call and complain to the station but what it achieves is that it gets people talking. Water coolers, lunchrooms and radio talk shows are the places where clothes freedom will take root in society. The power of talk should not be underestimated. For Naturism to trickle down to the masses, there needs to be a lot of that. Talk.

    Your summer vacation to the naturist resort, your weekly tennis game at the naturist club. . . naturists have been traditionally shy to speak about their naked activities but that is exactly what is needed for there to be general acceptance of the practice. Naturist shyness may be caused by many different reasons. . . fear of ridicule, fear of losing a job, fear of upsetting family members . . . just basic fears. Binding and bonding together as a community can strengthen the Naturist's resolve to share their pleasant activities with persons that they are close to. A community of Naturists will support each other if individual members are "outing" themselves to their friends or family.  Clothes free communities also serve as a source of the very needed information necessary to debunk myths about the Naturist way of life that the textile may have

The fact is that there are many millions of Clothes Free participants in the world, spread out across several countries. This fact seems to be lost on several textiles in the West. They don't realize they Naturism is one of the fastest growing sub-cultures in the world.

Do you sleep without clothes? Sleeping naked has been researched to provide the most restful sleep. Without the restriction of clothes, the body is able to relax more and sleep is more enjoyable. Have you ever walked about nude after a shower? This is a great way to introduce your body to the benefits of Naturism. After the first time you do it you never want to stop.

Every time a "normal Joe" speaks up about doing a Naturist activity, it's a major boost for the practice as a whole. The growth of Naturism depends on individual messages to get the word out on the streets. Forming groups of like-minded friends is a great help. A gathering of friends every weekend for naked Board Games, BBQ's, Book Clubs, Art/ Drawing Sessions, Yoga, Badminton, Water Polo or Pool will exponentially increase the visibility and accessibility of Naturism.

The Naturist clubs are doing their bit to stabilize the naked practice for the many persons who patronize the club. It's now up to the persons on the ground. . . the individual naturists and nudists to get the word out with a familiar face.

When the neighbors realize that Joe is a nudist and he doesn't behave in a threatening or untoward manner, he just does regular things, mows the lawn nude, washes the car clothes free and occasionally he has a naked BBQ with friends, the light bulb of realization goes off in their heads and all of a sudden Joe and his way of life doesn't seem so strange after all. Maybe they’ll even want to BBQ with Joe sometimes. Lets spread the positive word about Naturism. We can all be a Joe in our own way
