We think 'naked, shameless and free'  is a good summary of what the naturist lifestyle is all about!

Naturism is all about the freedom and sensuality of enjoying  being in our natural state,  free of clothes,  and feeling the sun, breeze or water on our bodies  just as nature intended.

Naturism is also a social activity. Naturism is a great leveller; everyone is equal when they are nude. Everyone is respected and treated as equals. We do not judge or discriminate on the basis of status, gender, race, colour, body type or any other characteristics that cause divisions in our society.

Our naked state is the most natural way to be and we see no reason to wear clothes when it is not necessary.

Social nudity encourages a healthy attitude to our bodies - ideas that some parts of the body should be kept hidden create an unhealthy attitude to our bodies leading to all sorts of personal, sexual  and social problems.

There is no rational  reason why we should feel ashamed of being nude.

We support natural clothes free living wherever possible. We believe this is especially appropriate for activities such as recreation, sunbathing, swimming, sauna etc.

We recognise that some people feel uncomfortable about nudity and we find this very sad. We respect their right to their opinions and try not to offend anyone by our lifestyle.

We encourage all naturists to work towards changing the attitudes society so that naturism is more widely accepted and can be more freely practiced.

There is much confusion over the relationship between naturism and sex; especially on the internet. There is also a lot of debate between naturists. This is why we have included this section.

We believe that naturism is primarily sensual and not sexual.  Public naturist locations and activities are not places for any form of sexual harassment or public sexual display.

Unlike some naturists, we do recognise that the naked body includes an erotic and sexual element.  We celebrate and enjoy the erotic beauty and sexuality of the naked body as part of our natural human nature.

We do recognise that sexual desire is one of the most powerful forces in our human nature and that it influences all areas of our lives. We  support the right of everyone to fully enjoy consensual sexual pleasure and fulfilment in the way they choose. We are opposed to any form of discrimination regarding gender, sexual preferences, sexual lifestyles or erotic body decoration.

We are not opposed to pornography, but we do not consider naturist pictures to be pornographic and do not wish to confuse the two.

We do not see naturism as an 'adult only' activity, but something for the whole family, We believe it is natural,  healthy and wholesome for children to be brought up without any feelings of shame or embarrassment about their own naked body or seeing the naked bodies of other children or adults.

We suspect that  feelings of shame and embarrassment about naked bodies, inbred in many children, is a major cause of feelings of sexual inadequateness and other problems in later life which sometimes lead to rape or sexual assault.

Because of recent attention given to child pornography and paedophilia in many countries, we do not display explicit naturist pictures of children under 18. We regret this decision, but it is for the legal protection of ourselves and our viewers and also to prevent the site becoming used for the wrong purposes.
