NEF California Poll 2009

Results of a Zogby Poll, commissioned by the Naturist Education Foundation

A public opinion poll commissioned by The Naturist Education Foundation (NEF) tests the responses of Californians to questions about body acceptance, recreation and personal freedoms.

The independent survey was conducted for NEF by the prestigious Zogby International polling firm.
Among the results:


• strong support for nude sunbathing.
• acceptance for the personal rights of those who are nude in their own homes or on their own property - even if they may occasionally be seen by others.
• significant rejection of the notion that the majority of Californians are personally offended by the non-sexual nudity of others.
• sixty-two percent agreement with those who are calling for the California Dept. of Parks & Recreation to exercise its legal authority to designate clothing-optional areas in state parks

Nudist Quotes

John Berger (b. 1926), British critic

Nakedness reveals itself. Nudity is placed on display. . . . The nude is condemned to never being naked. Nudity is a form of dress.

Ways of Seeing, ch. 3 (1972)
