Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Jessop and James Handle are two fourteen-year-olds who have known each other all their lives. One very warm day while out roaming through the local countryside and woods, not far from home, they're suddenly surprised when they spot a naturist rambler. Having never seen anyone walk about like this before their curiosity gets the better of them and they decide to follow him. It leads to them finding out about a naturist swim at their own local leisure centre and, after deducing what the word 'naturist' means, want to find a way of getting in to see for themselves what's going on. However, this is far from straightforward and, as you might guess, they're both very reserved boys. They manage to get in without being seen, but how? Who do they meet? Do they make any friends, and what's more; do they get away with it? What will their parents say if they find out? Read the full story and discover the delights of naturism for yourself.
Download or read book Nudism in a Cold Climate written by Annebella Pollen and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated volume examines the idiosyncraticphenomenon of social nudism in mid-20th-century Britain, anisland nation fabled for its lack of sunshine and its reservedsocial attitudes.Structured across three interrelated phases, readers firstencounter the movement at its genesis in the 1920s,when nudism was synonymous with vegetarianism,intellectualism and utopianism. That nascent cultureproliferated in the postwar era, with a widening landscapeof amateur clubs and governing organizations alongsidehigh circulation publications and censorship-challengingphotographers. Finally, Annebella Pollen examines themovement's redefinition as naturism, its cultural battles andits struggle to survive amid shifts in sexual liberation in thepermissive 1960s.Unadorned bodies were the central campaigning tool ofBritish naturism's photographic propaganda. They drewattention to the cause and drove publication sales but theyalso attracted regular public opprobrium. Naturism's shiftingvisual culture thus provides a microcosmic view of Britishmoral, legal and aesthetic transformations in a period of rapidsocial change, revealing evolving perspectives on health andsex, gender and ethnicity, pleasure and power.
Download or read book Free and Natural written by Sarah Schrank and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-06-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Naked Juice® to nude yoga, contemporary society is steeped in language that draws a connection from nudity to nature, wellness, and liberation. This branding promotes a "free and natural" lifestyle to mostly white and middle-class Americans intent on protecting their own bodies—and those of society at large—from overwork, environmental toxins, illness, conformity to body standards, and the hyper-sexualization of the consumer economy. How did the naked body come to be associated with "naturalness," and how has this notion influenced American culture? Free and Natural explores the cultural history of nudity and its impact on ideas about the body and the environment from the early twentieth century to the present. Sarah Schrank traces the history of nudity, especially public nudity, across the unusual eras and locations where it thrived—including the California desert, Depression-era collectives, and 1950s suburban nudist communities—as well as the more predictable beaches and resorts. She also highlights the many tensions it produced. For example, the blurry line between wholesome nudity and sexuality became impossible to sustain when confronted by the cultural challenges of the sexual revolution. Many longtime free and natural lifestyle enthusiasts, fatigued by decades of legal battles, retreated to private homes and resorts while the politics of gay rights, sexual liberation, environmentalism, and racial equality of the 1970s inspired a new generation of radical advocates of public nudity. By the dawn of the twenty-first century, Schrank demonstrates, a free and natural lifestyle that started with antimaterialist, back-to-the-land rural retreats had evolved into a billion-dollar wellness marketplace where "Naked™" sells endless products promising natural health, sexual fulfilment, organic food, and hip authenticity. Free and Natural provides an in-depth account of how our bodies have become tethered so closely to modern ideas about nature and identity and yet have been consistently subjected to the excesses of capitalism.
Download or read book Naked written by Brian Hoffman and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1929, a small group of men and women threw off their clothes and began to exercise in a New York City gymnasium, marking the start of the American nudist movement. While countless Americans had long enjoyed the pleasures of skinny dipping or nude sunbathing, nudists were the first to organize a movement around the idea that exposing the body corrected the ills of modern society and produced profound benefits for the body as well as the mind. Despite hostility and skepticism, American nudists enlisted the support of health enthusiasts, homemakers, sex radicals, and even ministers, and in the process, redefined what could be seen, experienced, and consumed in twentieth-century America. Naked gives a vibrant, detailed account of the American nudist movement and the larger cultural phenomenon of public nudity in the United States. Brian S. Hoffman reflects on the idea of nakedness itself in the context of a culture that wrestles with an inherent sense of shame and conflicting moral attitudes about the body. In exploring the social and legal history of nudism, Hoffman reveals how anxieties about gender, race, sexuality, and age inform our conceptions of nakedness. The book traces the debates about distinguishing deviant sexualities from morally acceptable display, the legal processes that helped bring about the dramatic changes in sexuality in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the explosion in eroticism that has increasingly defined the modern American consumer economy. Drawing on a colorful collection of nudist materials, films, and magazines, Naked exposes the social, cultural, and moral assumptions about nakedness and the body normally hidden from view and behind closed doors.

Download or read book The Freedom of Naturism written by Augustine Rae and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to provide you with a complete introduction to the naturist lifestyle. I hope to challenge any misconceptions you may have about naturism and nudity by presenting an insider's point of view. As you read, you will learn how naturism is different from nudity, and why those who embrace the naturist lifestyle find it to be a freeing and empowering choice. Naturism is a culture that doesn't conform to modesty by any definition of the term. Because modesty is expressed in different ways - depending on a person's beliefs, influenced by diverse social norms that vary by country and culture - naturists simply assert that they would rather base their actions on principles they believe in instead. Most naturists contend that going against social dictates regarding fashion and clothing by choosing nudity is actually more in harmony with nature, and an environmentally-sound lifestyle. Whether you're considering adopting a naturist lifestyle, or you simply want to expand your horizons by learning more about it, I hope that you'll join me for this short exploratory read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nudists come in many forms for countless people. For many nudity is simply a more comfortable way to live, much like it is for thousands of nudists who rarely wear clothes at home. Whether you are a nudist adventurer that finds many occasions to be clothes free, or a social nudist with like-minded friends and acquaintances, or a home nudist, you invariably know nonsexual nudity is a healthy, refreshing and enlightened way to live. Being nude is simply a way to enjoy being human.This book is a collection of stories about people that become aware of social nudity by happenstance, told with various perspectives. Since we live in a society that has labeled nudity as indecent, most people either flat out reject this lifestyle, or face difficult inner struggles if they consider trying it. It is difficult getting past the stigmas, the misconceptions and the preconceived notions attached to the nudist community. Those who manage to do so soon learn it doesn't change their lives so much as put a delightfully liberating icing on the cake.The stories in this collection were a labor of love, written from my own involvement in the nudist community. One thing I have learned is nudists don't want to change the world, they only wish it was more enlightened. They would like the world to see the human body for what it is: Mother Nature's finest creation, something that's not lewd, immoral or shameful. Nudists prefer the nude human body not be sexualized or associated with pornography. They are delighted to see more and more people learning the joys of clothes free living.
