B.E.A.C.H.E.S moves closer to a public naturist library and museum near Haulover Beach Park Oct 13, 2023

Show notes

B.E.A.C.H.E.S. Foundation, the non-profit advocate for clothing-optional beaches throughout North America, is moving closer to its dream of establishing a public Naturist Museum, Library and Institute (MLI) near Haulover Beach Park on Miami Beach. At its quarterly Board of Governors meeting in September, B.E.A.C.H.E.S founder and Executive Director Shirley Mason informed that three possible sites had been identified. The potential sites are in North Miami Beach, North Miami and Sunny Isles Beach, all close to world-famous Haulover Beach, the more than 30-year-old clothing optional beach in Miami-Dade County. 🪐

Unpacking new U.S. Forest Service proposals' potential impact on naturism Oct 13, 2023

Show notes

The U.S. Forest Service, under the Department of Agriculture, has unveiled a new proposal aimed at revising its criminal prohibitions, and they are currently seeking comment from the public. At first glance, the core intent of these modifications appears to be the containment of aggressive and illicit behaviors on Forest lands. In the nuanced language of the proposal, nudity or nudism is not explicitly addressed. However, there are broad terminologies and ambiguous phrases in the rules that warrant the attention of the naturist community.

In navigating through this bureaucratic tapestry, I bring forth my personal interpretation—cultivated from a personal perspective and admittedly with a modest expertise in the labyrinth of legislative language. This article aspires to unfold the layers of the proposal, striving to spotlight areas that may ripple into the realms of naturist expressions and freedoms. 🪐

Double standards in dairyland Oct 04, 2023

Show notes

The 13th annual ride in Madison was, by all measures, a success. Over the years, the city has seen all kinds of participants—first-timers, recurring attendees, local advocates, and families. Among the nearly 200 who participated this year was a young girl no older than ten and her mother. The mother saw it as an opportunity to teach her daughter valuable lessons—not just about body positivity but also self-empowerment, giving her the option to dress however she chose. The young girl chose to participate nude just like everyone else, a choice respected and supported by her mother and, indeed, aligned with the event’s clothing-optional policy.

Yet the girl's presence, entirely unremarkable in the international scope of World Naked Bike Rides, has nonetheless ignited a moralistic media controversy that has escalated to the national level. In the latest development of the continuing saga, proposed measures now aim to redefine public decency laws in Wisconsin, sparking a national debate that could alter the course of body freedom in the state and jeopardize naturist events like this one going forward. 🪐

Preserving Canadian naturist history Oct 02, 2023

Show notes

For almost four decades—ever since it was founded back in 1986—the Federation of Canadian Naturists has been accumulating all manner of documents, magazines, photos, videos, and other material detailing the development of naturism in Canada. It’s all been sitting in a trailer in Ontario, preserved, but not very accessible to researchers studying the history of naturism and nudism. That may soon change, however, now that the FCN Research Library (FCNRL) is joining the Nudist Research Library Consortium, a collaborative effort that ties together a number of similar repositories around North America. 🪐

Ahmed Raafat's nude frontier Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

Ahmed Raafat is an artist who is highlighting naturism with his original retrofuturist comic series, Diary of the Astronudes. This isn't just another indie comic; it's a social commentary on body freedom and societal norms, packaged in vibrant comedic sketches and compelling illustrations. What sets Raafat's work apart is the way it brings nudist themes to the comic book format, offering fresh perspectives that resonate not just within the nudist community but also among a broader audience interested in art, society, and the human form. 🪐

Andrew Martinez and the nude microclimate Sep 23, 2023

Show notes

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.planetnude.co

The cover of Nude & Natural issue 12.2 features a photograph of Debbie Moore, Nina Schilling, and Marty Kent of The X-Plicit Players interactive performance art group, gathered on the steps of Sproul Plaza at the University of California Berkeley. With them, Andrew Martinez, who had recently attracted international media attention for his decision to attend classes while entirely nude. The cover photo was captioned, “The Naked Guy—A New Micro-Culture?”1

Andrew Martinez’s nude activism began several years before he arrived in Berkeley. According to a 2006 article in the New York Times, in the summer of 1990, at seventeen, Martinez had “fallen under the nonconformist spell of Henry David Thoreau” and began questioning the rationality of having to wear clothing in 90-degree weather. After requesting the permission of several neighbors in his Cupertino, California hometown, Martinez walked down Highway 9 “wearing nothing and carrying a sign that read, ‘I was born naked and so were you.’”2 He was quickly arrested, but his nude protests did not end. 🪐

A sexless* paradise Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

The tension between sexual and non-sexual nudity has long been a point of contention in nudist communities. Historically, figures like Maurice Parmelee and Jan Gay promoted sexual openness within nudism, while some club owners eschewed it to maintain respectability. This dual relationship mirrors society's broader struggle to differentiate between sexual and non-sexual nudity, often exacerbated by sexual repression. Achieving body liberation demands acknowledging both sexual and non-sexual expressions as interwoven aspects of human existence. Ignoring one aspect for the sake of the other will continue to perpetuate shame, confusion, and stigma around the human body. 🪐

Clothed in a cause Sep 15, 2023

Show notes

In 2023, online naturist advocacy appears somewhat monotonous, following certain well-trodden paths. Digital platforms feature familiar nudists participating in the mundane, sometimes picturesque activities of daily life, always in the buff, as part of an earnest attempt to "normalize" naturism. This simple exposure seeks to counteract the overwhelming excess of sexualized nudity portrayed in mainstream media and porn. It's akin to a naked David, armed only with a sling to confront the Goliathan presence of entrenched cultural taboos. Often the tweets, photos, and blog posts that circulate, intended as an act of defiance, are drowned out in the noise of a world that seems irreversibly tethered to its textiles. While I'm no stranger to this form of advocacy, and even partake in it myself, I'm compelled to ask: Are we missing the mark on effectively normalizing nudism? 🪐
