An interesting blog post of an italian naturist. Shows an interesting view. So we have the "what is naturism and what is nudism" discussion also in the INF. Or better does naturism still exist? I would say yes, we fight for it.

Apr 18, 2024I agree it does still exist, and I will fight for it as well. There are changes in methodology that are needed. We need not be mired in the past with that but the core principles can remain and be reimagined for the current context.

Apr 21, 2024I get that for some people, "naturism" is defined as a specific life-style with a commitment to gradually purifying and ennobling the body. By that standard, the use of tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, and meat-eating is discouraged, and calisthenics and sports are emphasized.
I admire the people who have set themselves on this path and are proud of what they've accomplished.
But there really aren't many of us who fit that description. For the most part, nudism for us simply means being more comfortable without clothes than we are with clothes. We drink, we look forward to our morning coffee, and enjoy a hamburger once in a while. That makes us "true nudists" but failed naturists.
That's why I prefer to think of naturism as a spectrum rather than an end point. The more we follow the precepts of naturism, the healthier we'll probably be. But I prefer to think of them as personal goals rather than social ones.
تفاعلرد - HOApr 21, 2024I get your point. I think this is the big difference between European style naturism and US nudism. The Europeans who introduced naturism to the U.S. brought more than the practice of social nudity they brought a social philosophy. Many European naturists still have that at the core of their naturist way of life. In the US the focus on personal goals has devolved whatever worked for me is what nudism is. IMO this is in large part a reflection of the rest of US society and responsible for the slow steady decline of American nudism. I cant help but wondering how it came to be that as you point out very few individuals indentity with and reflect naturist ideals today. could it be that we have seen the enemy and it is us?

- HOApr 25, 2024This is the accurate description of the origins of naturism. It was some kind of sobriety movement.

- HOApr 25, 2024This is a wonderful post that looks at both the historical roots of naturism the deviation from those roots. The language of naturism and nudism and the consequences of all the above. Thank you for sharing. I will be sharing this with others. [quote]An interesting blog post of an Italian naturist. Shows an interesting view.
