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...

Some one asked about my nude athlectic and workout activities, so...
Return to Discussions] Yes, I run and or workout almost daily, and yes for most run workouts I'm nude as I am for all in-home workouts.
] Yes, I do nude yoga, co-ed groups only, I'm 100% hetero, so have no interest in male only nude activities.
] The roots of the modern word, gymnastics are: Greek, gymnasikos, Latin, gymnasticus; both meaning to exercise naked, nude.
] Yes, In USA, boys were required to be nude at HS pools, but not girls. In many US School Districts, boys PE classes and swim & water polo teams were required to be totally nude when using the pool facilities; supposedly because detergents used to wash swimwear messed up pool treatment chemicals, which is true, however, doing this period, girl were required to wear single-piece swimwear, only to be used at school and not laundered. I had no issues with the nude requirement, but always wanted the girls to be nude as well! I know, I was a swimmer and water polo player. This nude requirement, instead of being modified to include girls, sadly, was rescinded in all US Schools in the early to mid 1970's. Our first official Team Swimwear were issued in 1973, Speedo Brief Style. I believe I recently post some pics of me wearing that suit, back then, and some of me modeling my actual 1975 issued team Speedo, taken about a month ago.
] As far as safe locations, not sure what that means, the nude yoga sessions are held in a private property yoga-specific studio, and, I do nude workout runs on forest trails, when temp. is 48 Deg F or higher & no snow, on Forestry Dept Lands, simple nudity is legal there, but there is always a very real issue of confronting wild brown bears, which happens somewhat frequently. Our local brown bears are relatively docile, but running toward or past a bear is never a good idea...
] Yes, I do participate in nude running events; most are at nudist resorts and are 5K trail runs. I have also done the annual SF Bay-to-Breaker 12K several time, running fully nude, although it is a non-nude event.
] Yes, I do nude workout runs on beaches, whenever I'm down south, usually at night, to have unobstructed course, too many people during the day, unless it is a designated nude/optional beach, less crowded. I also do nude ocean swims, and run-swim-run workouts, depending upon water temp.
] NO, I do not know of any nude/optional public gyms in CA, although most nudist resorts have gyms and nude use is normal. Same goes for pool facilities, so, for pool workout at public gyms I wear a micro-brief or micro-thong providing absolute minimal legal coverage, and no drag.
I live in the CA Sierra, there are unlimited forest tails, I run fully nude on the forest trails almost daily, as long as temperature is at least 48 Deg F, and there is little or no snow accumulations. I have even run nude while it was lightly snowing and when rain and hail were falling. By the way, simply nudity is legal on Forestry Lands.
Every time I go south to the beach cities, I run full nude on certain beaches, most often at night (because in day time there are too many people blocking the run), and on Nude-Optional beaches, I will run fully nude in day time, because those beaches are not usually crowded. And, I do running events at nudists resorts. I also run the world famous annual SF Bay-to-Breakers 12K, a non-nude event, fully nude, each year.
Some great photo's, well done. You're looking toned and tanned, I guess running naked will make both those things happen. You're lucky to live in an area where this is possible. Makes my long walks on our CO beaches a little ordinary.
Joyous Holy Days to You & Yours! & Happy Nude Year, Nudist Hero!
You are a god among insects.
Its a little know & rarely broadcast FACT that theres ABUNDANT EVIDENCE ( here & elsewheres ) that Naturism & SocialPublicNudism do absolutely NO harm especially when compared to 99.9% of Crimes that are caused by Human Hands, but no body seems to be banning Human Hands from the interwebs or causing any hysterical handwringing campaigns about wearing Gloves & Gauntlets to protect? The Childrens. We have INALIENABLE #ClothesFREE Liberty & a codified #1stAmendment Right to DiVest & OptOut of inane bodymask mandates & stand Our ground in defiance of modern & ancient codes that aim to shame & deamonize & criminalize #TheHumanBody.
Despite all the impotent inane nannie codes & laws peddled by #TheTemps ( tyrannical legislatures ) & the rare rogue bull cop, LifeTime appointed #USgovt Court Judges ( & DAs ) consistently refuse to indict ( much less try, prosecute, convict, sentence or cageworse than a rabid animal ) Naturists & Nudists & preemptively DISMISS such cases brought to them because those admirable & laudable officials at least despise overstressing already overburdened Court Resources & wasting untold but no doubt jawdropping amounts of TaxPayers Resources ($$$) on unwinnable cases which even halfwit defense attorneys would consider childsplay.
Come out of Your Clothes & Gear & Join Us UpState to Enjoy the #FREErangeSFnudistEXPERIENCE. Next year for the firs time the #Bay2Breakers ( Sun 19 May ) warm up #WNBRsf2024 @SFWNBR Ride&AfterParty ( Sat 18 May ) will give Nudists an extra opportunity to tour San Francisco Naturally; WNBRs are notoriously a gateway drug to #SocialPublicNudism & Enjoying more of the FREEDOMS We Deserve.
Life is too short to do otherwise.
On Nude-Optional beaches, I will run fully nude in day time, because those beaches are not usually crowded.
In NJ, the only official clothing optional beach is very crowded. Not much room to run.
