What is Naturism?
(from NaturistGo
Blog)
Naturism is about
being naked in an
environment where
you find it natural,
but without putting
anything
sexual in it. One
can call it asexual
nudity. Naturists
are naked, but in
naturism, it is not
the nudity that is
in
focus, but the
freedom that can lie
in being free to
wear clothes without
the need for
anything sexual in
the
nudity. Naturists
are an expanding
community that is
gaining popularity
every day. Not just
in the United
States, but
also in beautiful
nations like
England, Croatia,
and Australia, where
naturist societies
are well-established
and attracting more
and more people. Are
you tempted by the
experience?
Here are some
reasons how
practicing Naturism
helps with body
positivity:
We learn to take
responsibility.
When you practice
social naturism, you
become more
sensitive to your
body, to what it
expresses. We,
therefore, tend to
take care of it
more, while
accepting its beauty
and flaws.
Naturists assume
what they are, their
physical
peculiarities, and
sometimes even the
visible traces of
their
history through
scars.
There is a form
of self-acceptance,
of tolerance towards
oneself, by
presenting oneself
as such in front of
others. Showing your
body and being able
to accept yourself
as you are can have
a psychotherapeutic
effect.
We gain
self-confidence.
The benevolent gaze
of others that there
is in naturism,
respect for oneself
and others is
essential, free from
certain complexes
that one may have,
and help to gain
self-confidence. The
respectful attitude
of each one, the
very modest looks
(contrary to what
one might think!)
Reinforce the
self-esteem which
one has of their
body. Because being
able to lay bare,
literally, in front
of others is to
challenge oneself,
to overcome the
fears and doubts
that we all have
within us. This
exercise is even
less easy for
adolescents whose
bodies are changing.
But naturism helps
them put their
complexes at a
distance and gain
self-confidence.
Another advantage of
going nude is that
it allows you to
become more
self-aware and
confident in your
flesh. Choosing to
be naked on a daily
or irregular basis
enhances one’s
self-esteem. It
dismantles the
barriers of
stereotypes and the
pressures we face
every day to be
“perfect.” You have
no one to impress
when you’re nude,
not even yourself.
We fill up on
vitamin D.
Our exposure to
light is usually not
enough light and
vitamin D deficiency
is common. As a
result, our
production of
serotonin (which is
the brain messenger
responsible for
mood) and dopamine
drops, we feel a
little slack, we
lack energy and
morale is not always
good. In general,
vitamin D helps
stimulate the immune
system and reduce
fatigue. Because
your range of motion
is not restricted by
clothing, nudism
aids in brain
development and
increases neuron
production. And even
when the weather is
very nice, to have a
good supply of
vitamin D, it would
be necessary to
expose a
sufficiently large
surface area of ??
The body to absorb
it… The solution?
Live naked! With
care and moderation
of course: protect
yourself with a high
protection factor
(especially on parts
of the body where
the skin is thin and
sensitive), avoid
exposure to the
hours when the sun
is the worst
(between 12 p.m. and
4 p.m. ), and prefer
shadow corners.
We pay even more
attention to
hygiene.
As naturists appear
naked, personal
hygiene is all the
more important.
Also, by living
naked, we avoid
friction (with
underwear for
example), and we
avoid nests of
bacteria such
as wet swimsuits.
Finally, certain
rules of use must be
observed in a
natural place, such
as putting your
towel
on the chair before
sitting down.
We adopt a lifestyle
that goes beyond
nudity.
Nudity offers the
art of living that
promotes harmony
with nature. From
there, we often see
a desire to eat
properly, to do good
to our body, which
is constantly
exposed to others.
Being a naturist
also means adopting
a healthy lifestyle
and respect for your
body.
We sweat… freely!
When we are not
wearing any
clothing, the body
necessarily breathes
more. The sweating
drains better and
is not absorbed by
tissues that are
even door skin
throughout the day.
Thus, the
thermoregulation of
the body
is probably better.
Clothes obstruct the
functions of our
biggest organ, the
skin. The skin acts
as a barrier against
microbial invasion.
Evaporation allows
us to stay cool
through sweating.
That process is
slowed by clothing.
It allows
by-products of the
skin’s processes to
accumulate in
contact with the
skin, causing
discomfort. Nudity
rhymes with
simplicity: going
without clothes,
swimsuits, swimming
naked, walking
naked, gives a deep
feeling of freedom,
of letting go. The
lack of constraint
to dress in the
morning when you
wake up, the fact of
not wearing too
tight clothing,
necessarily makes
you more relaxed.
Living in the
simplest device,
assuming one’s
nudity, overcoming
one’s fears and
complexes allows
stress to be
reduced! Nudity is
pleasurable,
healthful, and
beneficial to the
soul.
It encourages body
acceptance and
awareness, as well
as age acceptance,
freedom,
self-esteem, and
self-confidence.
Nudity, by its very
nature, frees the
body from the
constraints of
clothing, which move
and
compress our bodies,
and exposes it to
the air and sun,
both of which have
various health
benefits. People
who are raised in a
nudist atmosphere
develop good body
attitudes and can
recognize changes in
their
bodies. Rather than
preaching guilt
about bodily parts
and functions, the
naturism movement
promotes body
acceptance.
