Philosophy Of Nudism And Naturism

Looking g to start a group to discuss the big questions of nudism and naturalism. I am interested in why people choose nudism. What, if any, religious or spiritual reasons are there for nudism. What is nudism and what is not nudism. What are the subtle differences between nudism and naturism? What about the ethics surrounding nudism and naturism? Let your voice be heard tell us your story.

Parallel Societies

Return to Discussions

Here is a thought experiment. Suppose you have two identical societies located in a warm climate somewhere. Everything is the same except one society has attitudes and laws related to clothing like the society we currently live in. The second society does not have these attitudes and laws and because of the climate, clothes are rarely worn. Which society would have the higher crime rate and why? What other ancillary differences would there be?

Never mind.
I found it.
Did a search for books by P.Z. Walker and there it was. No clue why a search for the Title didn't bring it up.
Sorry for the interruption.
Carry on!

Back to the starting question:- It was suggested that crime would be lower in a nudist world as there would be nowhere to conceal anything. Nudists carry a towel or cloth to sit on and a bag for personal items (normally carried in the pockets of clothed people). Either could be used to conceal anything.

Having said that I feel much more confident going for a dip and leaving all my possessions on a nude beach. There is an unspoken loyalty among nudists.

There was a French TV show called NU a while ago that dealt with a future in which everyone was required to be nude to reduce crime.
