How is it possible for the human body, which was created in the
image of god, to be offensive to anybody? Satan would love to see
God's greatest creation be considered offensive.
What's So Great
About Clothes Anyway?
Why people wear clothes:
"Ok,", I bet you're thinking, "if it's so great, why isn't everyone
doing it?" To be honest, it beats me. If I was a sociologist, I would
say something like this:
Clothing is a sign of social status
and identification of onesself with a particular class or subculture.
In removing the importance of clothes, we remove our own public
identity.
However, if I were psychologist, I
would disagree, noting:
Clothes provide us with a tangible "armour"
against physical and emotional threats that we confront in our daily
lives. The removal of clothes makes us feel vulnerable.
Now if I were an artist, I would
probably point out that:
Once an idea has become accepted by
the majority, the minority feel that they are pressured to conform.
Being clothed is "safe", and to be unclothed is to fight against
established conventions. Once an idea takes sufficient hold, it
becomes almost impossible to break out of it without a coup. Only the
brave and self-assured feel that their own concepts may equal the
convention.
Unfortunately, I am none of these. I
am a project manager, and so I'll put my case in more familiar terms:
Senior executive support is crucial
to a project succeeding. In the case of nudism, most people can, if
they apply good research techniques, see clear benefits in disrobing
in appropriate places. However, they realise that without support on
the highest level, the project will not be uptaken, and there may be a
consequent general loss of confidence in the project manager.
Bet you wish I was a sociologist,
huh? I guess what my point comes down to is that people are afraid
they'll be found out, be branded as and be forced to live out their
lives as a dishwasher in a miner's canteen 300 miles south of the
Ecuadorian border.
So let me reassure you. As an
Australian, my first nudist experience was a search on Google for the
terms "nudist", "Australia" and "holiday". I got back several dozen
sites about different Australian clothing-optional campsites, resorts
and bed-and-breakfasts. It was the volume that shocked me - was
everyone except for me going around Naked?
Short Reading About Nudist Culture
The TBN organization, founded in 1985, is affiliated with The Naturist Society, a national organization. Our membership is open to couples, families, and singles, growing from 18 original members to nearly 200 today.
Our activities include indoor swims, parties, and other events during the cooler weather months. At the swims, you will have the opportunity to play water volleyball, swim a few laps, and socialize with fellow naturists. We currently are looking for a new pool, if you know of one, please e-mail us the information. During the summer, we will travel to landed naturists/nudist clubs around the state and to various clothing-optional sites.
All TBN events are clothing-optional. Most people in attendance will be Naked, but there is no requirement or pressure to be Naked at our winter swims.
Membership in TBN is $20.00 per year, per family, couple or individual. Benefits of membership include our quarterly newsletter OH Naturel and discounted admission to our swims.
You may wish to attend one or more of our events before deciding if membership in a naturist organization is right for you. Attendance at activities before joining, however, is not mandatory.
The Buckeye Naturists is a "family-oriented" group, meaning that conduct at our activities should be as if your family is present.
Please read our Code of Ethics before attending any of our events.

The Naturist materials on this nudist Website are legal in every city, every state and every county inside the United States. They are protected by the First Amendment and are not subject to local obscenity laws or ordinances. The depiction of adults and children Naked in the visual media has enjoyed constitutional protection in the United States since 1958, when the Supreme Court vacated a Court of Appeals finding that Sunshine & Health magazine could be obscene (Sunshine Book Co. v. Summerfield, Postmaster General, 355 U.S. 372). The right to depict adults and children in innocent Naked poses has been upheld without a pause for 41 years. In case after case, the Supreme Court and lower courts have always upheld the constitutionality of "nudity without more," specifically referring to the nudist depiction as a fully constitutional form of expression. Our picture and video galleries are widely promoted in all of United States, Canada, Asia, Europe, South America, Canada, Australia and Africa amond most major countries. The only exception may be countries where nudity of any kind is banned, i.e. Iraq, Syria, and Iran. |
