I have been enjoying creating the cartoon The Secret Life of a Naturist for the Clothes Free Life online magazine for the past three weeks and thought I would give a you a sneak peek at the creating process that goes into each one. Creating a cartoon old school (without computer graphics) by drawing and […]

A great article on body confidence and how nudism helps, from the mainstream press: https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/nudism-body-image.
Going to nudist events made me realize quickly that there is no “perfect” body. Nudists (or naturists, if you will) consider the human body a beautiful creation, and something of which no one should be ashamed.

If you like the #Nudist idea #5: Subscribe to a Naturist Magazine, then the next step is to share your passion for naturism, by letting your visitors read your magazines. And the best way, IMHO, to do this is to let those magazines on your coffee table for anybody to grab a copy.
Letting those magazines and books (I’ll go over naturist books in a future post) openly available is a great ice breaker. Of course people who know you are a naturist will appreciate to have some topics to discuss, and people who do not know you are a naturist may be surprised by those copies, and this is where the rubber hits the road. And the question will pop up: are you a naturist? Your genuine answer will be yes, and you can start from there.
One may argue that those publications are adult publications. If it’s unfortunately true that they are generally sold in the adult section of bookstores, I really do not consider them as adult readings. They are focused on the naturist lifestyle, which social and family-oriented, and therefore should be available to all public.
Of course, the stigma of naked bodies is still strong, this is why we should all be naturism advocates. As naturists, we know what naturism is, how we benefit from it and how others can benefit from it too. This is why it should be widely accepted and we need to recruit more naturists. After all, as previously said, naturism is legal in lots of countries. We therefore should not shy away of spreading around us we are naturists and we love it!

If you are a member of your national naturist federation, there is a good chance that you receive their publication, like for instance The Bulletin from AANR or Gonatural of the NZNF. However, this should not stop you subscribing to other naturist publications that exist, as shown in the post entitled 42 Naturist Publication: periodicals, although the list is far from being exhaustive. Let’s go through some I know.
The first example that comes to mind is the Naturist Society N magazine. As it is described on the Naturist Society’s website, “The quarterly magazine N, the magazine of naturist living gives you the skinny on naturist news, views, and updates on the role of nudity across the globe. N offers readers a deftly balanced blend of timely news and features, incisive commentary and reviews, and perceptive site reports from naturist venues near and far. It’s all tastefully illustrated with full-color images that take you to the very heart of the naturist experience.”
Then, for English reader, H&E Naturist Magazine is a great pick. H&E Naturist claims to be the world’s leading magazine for clothes-free lifestyle, and I believe it is, as this magazine is of very high quality and had been on the market since 1900 (yes, more than one hundred years!). As its about states, “H&E naturist (originally Health and Efficiency) is the world’s leading monthly commercial magazine focusing on the naturist and nudist lifestyle. Its regular articles and columns focus largely on travel, health and culture, as well as various features on arts and books with a naked theme”. Naturism is central to H&E Naturism and all articles have a naturist flavor.
For our French readers, there are two publications in France that are worth reading. The first is Naturisme Magazine. As its title implies, it’s dedicated to naturism and contains many articles on the lifestyle as well on naturist club/resort news. The other one is called La Vie au Soleil (Life under the Sun). It’s a great publication that ideally complements Naturisme Magazine and goes deep in topics related to nudism and naturism. Those are great magazine for anybody interested in the nudist lifestyle and want to learn/share more about nudism/naturism.
There are many others in other languages (Dutch, German, etc.). All above publications are very qualitative with sensible and valuable information about naturism. Despite being sold sometimes in the adult section of the bookstores, they all are shareable with your friends and family. It’s a great way to start naturist conversation with non naturist friends. A must for all naturist.
