INTERNATIONAL NUDIST

Several colleges around the U.S. have annual streaking events. More still occur spontaneously or, at best, are premeditated briefly. Are these events, and more obnoxious student nudity a good thing? Most would probably agree that they are harmless. While we do not all choose to express ourselves in such a manner, it certainly serves as an outlet, where they choose to not take things so seriously, have fun and be nude, even if it is obnoxious (or in some cases illegal). Perhaps the worst part of the phenomena is cost of police who may be on duty to monitor anuual, scheduled events. Unfortunately, when these events are well-publicized, gawkers with cameras are attracted. This is probably the reason for the pumpkin helmets worn in the Naked Pumpkin Runs…it obscures their identity from the inevitable photographers, welcome or unwelcome.

What about streaking overall, such as the occasional streaker at a sporting event? Again, probably most people, whether nudist/naturist or not ,would find these incidents harmless and possibly amusing. While I cannot recommend streaking where it is against the law, it is a statement against our gymnophobic society and so I cannot say much bad about it!

Amor Vincit Omnia Caravaggio, 1602

I know that Valentine’s Day is almost a month away, but I had to reveal my long-held suspicions.

Though Cupid, who is almost always depicted nude, has never made a public statement, I strongly suspect that he is indeed a nudist. Perhaps Cupid, like other in-the-closet nudists are afraid of the “nudist”/”naturist” label, due to how others may react. Well, we understand your concerns, Cupid, but we think the cat is kinda out of the bag by now. We fellow nudists got your back though!

Strange… western society holds nudity to be such a taboo yet allows such a nude icon to persist! Maybe there is some hope for more tolerance toward nudity in society?

Whatever the case, keep doing what you do, Cupid! You just may be nudists’ most public figure!

Santa the Nudist

Santa is one of us! I couldn’t resist posting this photo that’s been going around on the internet for a couple years. The forwarded email usually reads something like “what Santa looks like in the summer”. Well, Santa Claus is obviously no fool. How else to relax after an intense Christmas season? Hang out at a nudist resort, of course!
