Normalising Nudity

A group for people with a common interest in using nudism/naturism to normalise nudity in society, and promoting healthy attitudes to the human body. We will share ideas, events, media, etc. that will help make non-sexual nudity acceptable generally and not only in reserved areas. Society's attitudes towards nudity lead to unreal expectations about appearance, shame, and ignorance of what a...

Hello from Germany, here it is in many places and places to be tolerated naked, or at least to move topless. there are also other nude hiking trails. I think it's a shame that nudity has been frowned upon over the years. or even banned where it was once allowed.
Since there are always conflicts with people who oppose nudity, and cling to prudishness, it becomes more and more difficult to be naked where it was previously tolerated.
That is why I told my friends and colleagues that I had joined a nudist club and that I also enjoy feeling the elements on my skin without annoying clothing

Those inner city beaches have always been edgy. Guys used to be nude in the dunes up near Port Melbourne, minimal attire was common on St Kilda beach with one couple I used to see would strip, she would always be topless and they would both just keep their briefs over their genitals, maybe they read the legislation. Taking that to an extreme, a guy could wear a sock and be legal.

Yeah, I was working in Port Melbourne for a while one summer in the mid 2000s and recall sock guy tanning and one other occasion where it turned out there was, er, viguourus activity quite close to where I was laying out! I did take advantage by wearing an edgy suit that my wife does not let me wear when I'm with her! Working there was great, spent many a lunch hour swimming!

One notable example was when we saw a sign in a restaurant lobby that said thongs were permitted in the bar, but not the dining room, I was confused until our nephew told us that they were referring to footwear, not underwear or swimsuits.Before thong underwear and swimwear became a thing, what are now called flip-flops were called thongs -- in the US.

Thongs / flip flops (for the feet) are still called thongs in Australia. Thong underwear are mainly called g-strings, but sometimes are called thongs too ...... just to be confusing.
