Nudists defend ‘wholesome, family way of life’ after complaints over naked sunbathing

A NATURIST has defended “wholesome” behaviour of people who sunbathe naked at a beauty spot.

‘Why I Love Foam Rolling In The Nude’

Our associate fitness editor swears by the benefits of foam-rolling au natural. One day after a tough circuit in my overheated bedroom, I tore off my clothes before lying down with my foam roller, which I use religiously to nix tightness.

Or more precisely, I am standing on the roof of a Ukrainian cathedral in North Melbourne. “I can feel the wind through my pubes,” Jordan giggles from the other side of the domed structure. I glance over and see the hazy outline of his lanky body, backlit against the glittering panorama of … Continue reading Clothing Optional: What It’s Like To Be A Nudist?

Nu gymnosophy – toward a more connected naturism

I think is it time to move toward a more connected naturism. Recently I had an enjoyable three day clothes free camping experience. It had been a while since I had done that this summer. I also had the pleasure of introducing a first timer to a socially clothes free experience and the joys of clothes free camping. Much of the time was spent in … Continue reading Nu gymnosophy – toward a more connected naturism
