The entire world is so sexualised that anything involving skin is immediately considered erotic, if not worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or am I using the wrong word and is the world sexually repressed? At times I&#8217;m not certain. Maybe it all comes down to the same thing, who knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a sad state of affairs though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freedom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So many people could lead a much happier and carefree existence if they could escape their clothes once in a while and experience true freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time I hear or read about the kind of freedom someone experiences when submerged in naturism the first time, I smile. A dozen people will say a dozen different things, and they will never really touch the essence. Maybe it is such a deep-rooted feeling that there isn&#8217;t even a word for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DtOidxPWwAAGTST.jpglarge.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"591\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DtOidxPWwAAGTST.jpglarge.jpeg\" alt=\"Sunday Noon Nudist\" class=\"wp-image-5366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DtOidxPWwAAGTST.jpglarge.jpeg 591w, https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DtOidxPWwAAGTST.jpglarge-300x236.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 591px) 85vw, 591px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of people also mistake &#8216;normal&#8217; for &#8216;natural&#8217;.
