\nImagine if you will that this blog wasn\u2019t about naturism, but about camping and backpacking.\u00a0 In my theoretical camping blog I\u2019d write about my travels, offer advice, discuss issues within the camping\/backpacking community, and show you pictures of my trips. \u00a0 No one would get upset about pictures of Yosemite or the Grand Canyon.\u00a0 But in reality my blog isn\u2019t about camping, but nude recreation and the naturist<\/a> lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Since its early days, naturism has been portraying the nude human body in photography. \u00a0In fact, it was nudist magazines that set the legal precedent for nude images to be published.\u00a0 Up until 1958, it was illegal for nudist magazines to be mailed by the U.S. Postal Service. In\u00a0SUNSHINE BOOK COMPANY v. SUMMERFIELD<\/a>, The U.S. District Court of Columbia ruled that nudist magazines could be mailed.\u00a0 This decision also created the precedent for Playboy and other magazines to be published.<\/p>\n

The nude human body is the core of our lifestyle, it\u2019s what defines our philosophy and our outlook.\u00a0 And when discussing our way of living, how can we describe it?\u00a0 Sure I can drone on forever about nude recreation in words and sentences.\u00a0 However, nothing describes who we are or what we believe than a picture. Many of my readers recall that my own foray into naturism began by seeing images of non-sexual nudity.\u00a0 Naturist photos act like ambassadors to non-naturists, demonstrating what nude recreation is like.<\/p>\n

Seeing nude photos helps eliminate equating nudity only with sexual activity.\u00a0 For the vast majority of Americans, nudity is akin to sexual activity.\u00a0 Movies, TV, and the internet teach us that mere nudity is only erotic.\u00a0 Seeing non-sexual nudity is the first step to removing society\u2019s warped conditioning.<\/p>\n

Nude photos also fosters body acceptance.\u00a0 I used to hate how my body looked.\u00a0 I thought I wasn\u2019t the \u201cideal\u201d body, or a body fit to be a naturist.\u00a0 But seeing many different people nude has changed my outlook.\u00a0 I have finally learned to accept myself, and accept others.<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m not na\u00efve, I know that our lifestyle attracts the wrong people.\u00a0 It\u2019s a sad fact.\u00a0 Our photos can be exploited <\/a>by some really sick and warped minds.\u00a0 Case in point: naturist photos used to show pictures of entire families, but now because of a few perverts, no naturist in their right minds would allow photos of their children to be posted online.\u00a0 Another sad fact is that the term \u201cnaturism\u201d has been hijacked by the porn industry.\u00a0 But this isn\u2019t the fault of naturism or nude recreation.\u00a0 Blaming naturists for having their photos exploited is like blaming a woman for being sexually assaulted because she was wearing a risqu\u00e9 dress.\u00a0 The accountability should be placed on the victimizer and not the victim.\u00a0 I\u2019m not going to stop being a naturist because of a few losers.<\/p>\n

Nude photos are a part of naturism.\u00a0 Nudity is part of the naturist experience, but the biggest part of the naturist lifestyle is what takes place between the ears and not the legs.\u00a0 Nude photos serve only as an example of\u00a0 what naturist activities are.\u00a0 There is nothing shameful about the naked human body.\u00a0 The only \u201cshameful\u201d part of nudity is those who exploit it for the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n
