Some interesting thoughts and a good read I found on the net:

**I stayed at a nudist resort in Bali**
I'm no prude and I love being sans clothing, but walking straight out of my villa completely nude into the breakfast area to be greeted by fully clothed Balinese staff asking how I would like my eggs, was a slight challenge for me.
By Phil Brandel, June 15, 2026
When most Australians think of Bali, Bintang singlets, beach bars and hair braids probably jump to mind.
Indonesia is a deeply religious and conservative country where just going topless on the beach can result in a fine. Which is why the rise of Bali’s clothing-optional resorts feels so unexpected.
In the past I've visited nude beaches and skinny-dipped with friends. But there’s a big difference between briefly taking your clothes off at a beach and being naked around complete strangers for several days.
I arrived at the nude resort carrying the same insecurities that most of us do. I'm no fitness model, I’m middle aged with a dad bod, losing hair where I wish it would stay and growing hair where I wish it wouldn’t.
How would I go living completely nude with other strangers for five days?
Ker started the Bali Natur resort in 2023 after a slowdown in tourism during the Covid lockdowns.
“We opened in 2012 as a normal guest house, then we changed the concept during Covid,” she said.
“As there was so much competition for accommodation, and we love the naturist concept we decided to change.”
Ker says that growing up in a poor farming family clothing was not always a priority.
“We were so poor even buying clothes was difficult, so nudity was quite common at home and in the field,” she said.
“My family was always nearly naked at home, so nudity is not a big deal for me or my family, who all now work here.”...

These are Asterix and Obelix's pants.
Asterix and Obelix are smart; in this summer heat, they're at the nudist beach!

Be smart too, and go skinny-dipping like Asterix and Obelix!

Some interesting thoughts and a good read I found on the net:

**I confronted my 52-year-old body at a naturist club**
Would getting my kit off in front of others help me feel happier in my own midlife skin? There was only one way to find out
By Katy Regan, 14 June 2026
It’s a boiling hot Sunday when I pull up to the big green gates of the Heritage Family Naturist Club, at the end of a leafy lane in Berkshire. Secretary Ken Clark meets me, as arranged. He’s naked from the waist up – I thought I’d have time to acclimatise – but then when he opens the gate to let my car in, I see he’s wearing shorts. Thank heavens.
Ken has that joie de vivre you might expect from someone comfortable in his birthday suit. “Welcome to Heritage!” he says. “You picked the best day for it!”
The Wedgwood-blue sky and chirruping birds only add to the feeling I’m in an English country garden utopia. Everywhere I look there are blousy rhododendron bushes, violet foxgloves and neatly trimmed privets (the puns are endless and irresistible; naturists themselves are the worst offenders), beyond which are manicured lawns surrounded by pretty wooden chalets, immaculately kept.
“I’ll leave you to get into uniform then,” Ken says cheerfully when we get to the clubhouse. It takes me a moment to realise he means get naked.
As a midlife woman struggling to come to terms with her ageing body, I’ve come to a naturist club for the weekend to see whether nudity might be the answer to my angst. There is scientific research to suggest it might be. People who take part in naturist activities report higher body satisfaction, greater self-esteem and increased overall life satisfaction. But will getting my kit off in front of others help me feel happier in my own skin? I’m about to find out.
A naturist club must be the only place on earth where you feel conspicuous if you’re wearing clothes. It’s strange how quickly the brain adapts, because within five minutes of being there, seeing people microwave their lunch butt naked becomes weirdly normal. Me getting my kit off? Not so much.
Total nudity isn’t compulsory at Heritage, apart from in the pool. But everyone else is starkers, so it only seems fair that I should be too...

**“Nakedness proves that I’m more than a job or parent”: 8 women on how naturism has changed their lives for the better**
By Ashleigh Spiliopoulou, 04 June 2026
In 2026, it seems archaic to still be talking about the ‘bikini body’. Yet, new data shows the stress of ‘swimsuit season’ will prevent one in five women from going to the beach this summer. But could exposure to a sea of nude bodies be exactly what our self-critical minds need? Here, eight female naturists explain what embracing communal nakedness has done for their body confidence.
As I write this, we’re in the middle of a heatwave. I’m on the sofa in my pants, an electric fan blowing in my face. This, I think to myself, is the picture of British summer.
And it strikes me, as I look down at the rolls peeping over my briefs, what a dystopian moment this is for women’s bodies. As a baby of the late 90s, I was fortunate to miss the size-zero toxicity that coloured the 00s. My teens were shaped, yes, by influencers and chronic online comparison, but also by the idea – at least from a subsection of creators – that curves were not only acceptable, but something to be celebrated.
In 2026, that feels like a distant memory. Women’s bodies are, once again, seemingly on the table for discussion, with speculation over celebrity GLP-1 use regularly making headlines. At this year’s Oscars, for example, conversation centred less on the fashion and more on the bodies beneath the clothes, many of which were deemed to be a worrying return to ultra-thin ideals. Unsurprisingly, all this is having psychological repercussions...

First post here 🌿

I'm Lucas, a naturist, writer and content creator passionate about naturism, body positivity, authenticity and a simpler relationship with the human body.

For a while I've been using social media to share my naturist journey, challenge misconceptions about naturism, and encourage a more positive view of our bodies.

I'm excited to join the Pixelfed community and share more of that journey through photography.

Today, Sunday 7 June, we celebrate #WorldNaturistDay. #Naturism reminds us that beneath labels, status, fashion, & #social expectations, we are simply human. It is a celebration of #freedom, #equality, #respect, #BodyAcceptance, & our connection with the #natural world. Whether at the beach, in the #bush, or in your own garden, may today be a reminder that comfort in our own skin is something worth celebrating.

A #naturist is NOT a nudist. A nudist is NOT a #naturist.

Stop parroting the same ignorant rubbish because you cannot be bothered educating yourself. A nudist simply enjoys #nudity. A #naturist embraces a broader philosophy of #freedom, #equality, #BodyAcceptance, #respect, & connection with #nature.

The terms are not interchangeable.

If you insist on using them as though they are, you’re not demonstrating knowledge. You’re advertising your ignorance.
