People usually think naturism is about what you see or what you feel on your skin. But there’s another sense that wakes up once you’re naked: your hearing. As soon as the snaps, the zippers, and the rustle of fabric are gone, you can hear the world around you more clearly.

There’s a kind of truth that only comes when you’re not wearing anything.
I didn’t set out to make some big statement. I was floating on my back, letting the water do the work, when it hit me: most of what weighs us down isn’t ours to carry. It’s expectation...

This Isn’t Just for “Nudists”
I don’t think you have to join a nudist club or attend an event to understand what I’m talking about.

Ask a dozen people, get a dozen different answers. Nudism means many things to many people—including those who aren’t even nudists. Some textile folks are tolerant, some are not.
