June 1-3, 2012, the Alexis Park Resort in Las Vegas will be the site of a nudist conference, perhaps the first of its kind. Several businesses catering to nudists already have secured booths at this trade show, and there may be others signing-up in the meantime. The Nudistclubhouse Expo is organized by Brian Spence, founder [...]
Skinbook was a short lived nudist social site which exploded on the scene over two years ago, its popularity seeded by worldwide press coverage. Its young founder soon found it was more than he could handle and became disillusioned, abandoning both the web site and nudism. Recently, Dario Western, an Australian nudist-activist decided to take [...]
Not surprisingly, our last post, which proffered a series of embedded nudist video clips, proved to be quite popular. It is in our mutual interest, dear readers, that we should present compilations of videos that more closely fit the principles of nudism rather than the voyeuristic and pornographic trash that seem to dominate any Internet [...]
If you a search for “nudist video” you will usually get links to voyeur or sex sites. In an effort to correct this, we bring you a few free clips we gleaned from the web that we feel are relevant to naturism. A Russian video about body painting Very short 3D nudist video!! Dario Western, [...]
An Italian reader contributed the following story. We’ve only made minor grammatical corrections… I’m Italian, I live in Veneto and my name is Anthony. I’ve been practising nudism for over twenty years. I usually spend my Summer holiday in Istra (Croatia) in a very big naturist village and in a nudist (FKK) camping in Carinthia [...]

Perhaps it is because our bodies are not “sexualized” by society in the way the female form has always been. Perhaps it is women’s fondness for fashion. Whatever [...]
Nudists in Sérignan, in the south of France, had quite a scare September 29 when a World War II era mine was discovered offshore by a diver. After beaches and campgrounds were evacuated, the 200 kilogram bomb was dragged away and exploded far off into the Mediterranean. Also last month, in Canada’s Gatineau national park, [...]
July 23 of this year we had reported that a “nudist forest” named Vivi Ecotopia (Not Vivid as widely reported) was set to open in August in Jangheung, South Korea. That date has come and gone and social nudity still does not seem to be happening there. According to the Korean press and bloggers, there’s [...]
With this installment we continue our visit to the ghosts of nudists past. This time, we bring you an article published in The Nudist Sunshine and Health magazine (unrelated to Australian Sun & Health) in December, 1937, titled “Elysium Foundation Hold Second Annual Open House”. It was written by George Spray about a gathering at [...]
If you went right now into the streets of San Francisco, you could shed all your clothing and walk in your birthday suit without fear of being charged. Public nudity is legal in this city, just as it is in Spain! We don’t know how we missed this important moment in nudist history, and we [...]
Why would anyone want to teach their children their bodies are disgusting, unacceptable and offensive to even look at? Why would anyone want to teach their children self shame, self disgust and to despise their body or any one else's body? Why would anyone set a bad example to their children by having a prejudicial bigotry against another group of people?
