Do you have children? Did you take them nude venues like beaches and resorts when they were young? And if you did, do you think they suffered from it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I somehow doubt they did. At our local nude beach I have seen kids play, swim and have fun, and no one had any issue with it. Hooray for free minds and people who feel good about being naked. I am sure you all agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bn.org.uk\/uploads\/monthly_2019_03\/1588562955_BN219Spring2019.jpg.9888b75626f7509bc36c974151537735.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This topic has been on my mind a while, especially since the number of protests from textile ignorants who claim that children should not be present at a naked swim organised by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"British Naturism (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bn.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">British Naturism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something that crawls up on me is the persistent refusal of these people to at least come and have a look. (Which would go against their textile habits, of course.) But how do they <em>know<\/em> that children will be harmed at such venues? We all know that kids are as safe as peas in a pod, but they don&#8217;t. They base their opinion on what happens in their world. The clothed, covered world, where nudity is a taboo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such people condemn us like they would condemn child molesters without knowing any better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I for one am very glad that the owner of the water park, Mr Chaudry, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"spoke out against these people's allegations (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.birminghammail.co.uk\/news\/midlands-news\/water-park-owner-hits-back-16113942\" target=\"_blank\">spoke out against these people&#8217;s allegations<\/a>, stating that the popular Stoke-on-Trent tourist attraction has been &#8216;unjustly accused of encouraging paedophiles&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good on Mr Chaudry. There should be more open minds like him around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My parents weren&#8217;t naturists so their children weren&#8217;t brought up with the naturist idea. Still they were open-minded enough to let us choose our own paths and ways. I&#8217;m glad I walked down Nudist Lane, so to speak. Granted, I wasn&#8217;t a child any more, but I was still &#8220;young enough&#8221; in starting to fully enjoy it, knowing I would do so for a long time. Now I&#8217;m 59 and it seems as if I enjoy being clothes-free more and more each year. I have no explanation for it and I darn well don&#8217;t need one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Nude_child_bringing_a_bouquet_to_a_semi-nude_woman.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4037\" width=\"303\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Nude_child_bringing_a_bouquet_to_a_semi-nude_woman.jpg 408w, https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Nude_child_bringing_a_bouquet_to_a_semi-nude_woman-255x300.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 303px) 85vw, 303px\" \/><figcaption>Nude child with bouquet (image courtesy of WikiMedia  Commons)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If everyone&#8217;s kid would just be so lucky &#8211; and have an earlier start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children should be immersed in the lifestyle and later given the choice to continue or leave.
