Q&A for How to Practice Nudism

No. Most countries and states have legislation in place that require drivers to be suitably dressed for the operation of a vehicle. Furthermore, driving a vehicle usually takes place in public, where nudity is also strictly regulated.

Just like when you are clothed, after using the toilet, you wipe yourself with toilet paper. Most nudists/naturists carry a towel to sit on, so they don't sit on furniture directly. They shower before entering a pool or hot tub, to remove sweat, etc. This is just common courtesy/hygiene.

No. It is not accepted to be naked in your workplace. Even saunas and spas that obligate their visitors to be naked, at the same time obligate their personnel to be dressed. Workplace behavior is well-regulated on many different levels.

Nudists say that it is freeing and liberating. Scientists have enough evidence to believe that nudists who are around other people in public are generally happier. With the removal of clothes, everyone is equal and you can connect with someone on a deeper level when naked.

Discuss this fact with them in a calm and reasonable way. Explain to them how it makes you feel and possibly suggest when it would be appropriate for them to be nude in the dorm.

What a woman wears, or doesn't wear, during birth is usually dictated either by hospital policy (if she chooses to give birth in a hospital) or the mother's preferences.

The first benefit is to release yourself, your family and friends from the burden of body shaming. Most of us don't look like movie or TV stars most of the time - in fact, neither do they. Staying lean with toned muscle mass takes a few hours a day, as models do before a shoot. Celebrate your body as you are. Join your local World Naked Bike Ride event in June this year and you will find everyone delighted at finally being free and nude. Whether in a room or on a bike, with friends, family or at the beach, when clothes are left behind, so are frowns.

Absolutely! Just make sure everyone is okay with it. Consent is key!

A baby is free from societal programming, so she or he won't be discomfited by nudity. As noted in the article here, hygienic practices are paramount due to the baby's vulnerability but with that caveat, the baby will grow seeing both genders uncovered, with no mystery, no programming, just freedom.

Unless they are your kids, no. You'd get arrested for this.

The same things you can do in the bathroom while clothed: use the toilet, brush your teeth, shave, take a shower, etc.

You can, but everyone has the right to decide whether or not they want to be nude, so don't expect everyone to participate (or even stay).

Just sit down and relax. Put a towel over your erection and wait until it's gone. Do not be ashamed about is because every man has a erection now and then. In time it'll calm down and be easier to view nudity without being aroused.

They can if they want, but most don't want to. Societal norms tell us that nudity is to be avoided when in public, so most families operate under this.

If your child isn't comfortable with nudity then you may have to be clothed around him. However, as it seems that the majority of the family is into nudism, try and talk with him or her and show the benefits of being nude. Explain that it is completely natural. Teaching your child to love their body may help them feel comfortable enough to participate.

That would be fine, as long as everyone in the family is okay with it and they're only practicing nudism inside their home.

Most people just aren't comfortable with it, so they'd prefer to stay clothed.

You must respect the boundaries of everyone else living in your house. Though there's nothing wrong with nudism, other people may feel less comfortable or refuse to be naked at all. You cannot force anything and must respect the others, regardless of age or sex.

No, you can't. You could be arrested for indecent exposure if you anywhere in public naked.

Explain to them why they can't - that there's a time and a place for everything, and that seeing someone nude without prior consent is very upsetting for many people. This is a good opportunity for a conversation about boundaries and what is/is not socially acceptable.

If they only see your face, I guess there's not really anything wrong. If you agree with your friends that you will be naked when FaceTiming, sure, why not? Do consider the legal age for giving permission for such things. If either participant is too young to legally give consent, it's against the law.

They can as long as it's fine with their parents. Their parents might object.

Certainly, there is no reason why children shouldn't practice nudism.

Yes, anybody can practice nudism. If there are no objections by your parents and you are just naked inside your own house then it is not a problem.

Of course, your period makes it more difficult to do some things. But most of the time that's because you're in physical pain, not because it would be physically impossible. You can go swimming, horseback riding, dancing, and also practice nudism. It's also about the natural way our bodies are, and menstruation is just another normal thing. You may be shy, that's OK. You can use a tampon, just make sure you don't lose the string.

Well, don't get upset, that's the most important thing. It's a natural thing our body does. Especially when you're younger, it can be difficult to keep things under control. Isolate yourself, masturbate if you like/need to, take a cold shower, put your mind on other things. I always multiply by two in my head: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc. But trust that in a while you will learn to control it.

There's nothing wrong with that. Nudism is not sex, so parents and children can perfectly well practice nudism together. Of course, there are a few considerations. Everyone involved must understand and agree to the rules, the reasons, the principles. Everyone must want to do this and feel comfortable with it. It must be clear what misbehavior is and how to address it. But these considerations are not different from between people who are not related.

It's up to each family to decide for themselves if they don't want to wear clothes anymore. It's all a matter of preference.

YouTube has some good nude yoga videos you might want to take a look at.

Sure, but nude farmwork doesn't sound pleasant. Clothes will protect you from sun, bugs, and rashes from plants.
