What is nudism?

Nudism, also known as naturism, is a lifestyle choice and a cultural movement that involves living in a state of partial or complete nudity. Nudists believe that clothing is restrictive, unnecessary, and unnatural, and that the human body should be celebrated and appreciated in its natural state.

Nudism has been practiced for centuries, but the modern nudist movement began in Europe in the early 20th century. It has since spread to other parts of the world, including North America, where it has become increasingly popular.

Nudists engage in a variety of activities, such as swimming, hiking, sunbathing, and socializing, all while completely or partially nude. Nudist communities or resorts have also been established, providing a safe and supportive environment for nudists to socialize and enjoy activities together.

Despite its growing popularity, nudism is still often misunderstood and stigmatized by society. Nudists often face discrimination and negative stereotypes, but many advocates for nudism argue that it promotes body positivity, self-esteem, and a healthy relationship with one's own body.
