NIFTY Constitution, p.2
NIFTY is first and foremost an activist political entity. Although organizing and engaging in social and recreational activities is necessarily part of our function, our primary focus must always remain on political organization towards full clothing-optional rights in all public spaces in Canada.
(NIFTY Constitution, Paragraph 2)

NIFTY Bylaws, p.11
No individual members may use cameras at NIFTY events. NIFTY may authorise camera(s) to photograph special events; in that case “no photo” wristbands and/or designated photography areas will be established, depending on the event. All participants shall be privately made aware of photography and release options at the entrance to the event.
Not all the Greek runners in the original Olympics were totally naked. Some wore shoes. – Mark Twain
NIFTY History, p.6
NIFTY is proud of its twenty-plus year history of advocacy, and we intend to continue our fight until all citizens have the freedom to wear clothes if they choose, and not wear them if they choose, in public spaces around the world.
Rapid Quiz Question: Nudism is new and alien in the history of humankind. Correct or incorrect?
Answer=”Incorrect”
Scientists believe that humans lost body hair more than 1,500,000 years ago and began wearing clothes only about 170,000 years ago. This means that for more than 1,000,000 years humans lived without any clothes at all!
NIFTY History, p.3
The name NIFTY arose because we wanted an acronym for the group’s name, and came up with NIFTY as a “temporary” moniker until we could decide on a “real” name; however, people seemed to like the name and it was decided to keep it as the group’s permanent title.
NIFTY Bylaws, p.6
NIFTY shall be, as much as possible, a grassroots democratic organization. No president or permanent chair shall exist. A chair shall be elected at each NIFTY meeting for the purpose of that meeting only, their term ending with that meeting. The only table officers are the secretary and the treasurer.
NIFTY History, p.1
Founded in 1992, NIFTY (Naked Iconoclasts Fighting The Yoke) is a group of citizens who believe that people should be allowed to decide for themselves whether to wear clothing or not in public spaces. Essentially, the group formed in opposition to section 174 of the Canadian Criminal Code, which declares public nudity a criminal offense. However, we advocate for clothing-optional rights for everyone, not just Canadians. Although many NIFTY members are naturists or nudists, NIFTY is not a naturist/nudist group; we are simply a group of citizens who believe in the right of every person to decide what, if any, clothing to wear in public spaces.
NIFTY Bylaws, p.10
Notwithstanding (7) above, to amend the NIFTY constitution, a two-thirds majority vote at a legitimate NIFTY meeting shall he required. Notwithstanding (7) above, to amend these bylaws, a simple majority vote at a legitimate NIFTY meeting shall be required.
Rapid Quiz Question: Nudists are perverts, weirdos and other sorts of sexually deviant people. Correct or incorrect?
Answer=”Incorrect”
The vast majority of nudists are open, understanding and extremely friendly. They are repulsed at even the thought of pornography or sexual immorality.
Vladimir Fedotko (gallery)
Vladimir Fedotko is a photographer from St. Petersburg, Russia. He is known for his talent to magically combine traditional drawing, photography and computer processing. Fedotko creates unique photos and fills them with fairy-tale characters. His images are bright and elegant. The artist shows a variety of stories that combine surrealism and fantasy.
Digital art appeared about 15 years ago and is very popular today among both beginners and professional photographers. Vladimir creates amazing images full of beauty, and mystery. Most striking in his work that it is not clear where is the photo, and where is the drawing. The artist takes into account everything – color, shade, and the texture of the object. You could say – this is magical realism in photography.
NIFTY History, p.4
NIFTY has held many events over the years: topfree and clothing-optional parades and marches, topfree picnics and book readings, clothing-optional dances and movie nights, and more. We also usually host a clothing-optional picnic following the Vancouver portion of the annual World Naked Bike Ride. While these events are celebratory in nature, they also serve to educate the public about the harmful effects of suppressing the natural body, and to advocate for clothing-optional rights.
Rapid Quiz Question: Nudists are asexual people. Correct or incorrect?
Answer=”Incorrect”
Nudists are sexual beings, but they conduct their activities in private.

Love to stay nude, at times. We have a place on the river. Love to fish nude when I can. Love to visit a nude colony or camp nude. But can’t get my wife to go. I have friends in nude space we still keep in touch.
Thanks.
In which part of the world do you leave Danny, as griffinaero said a clothing optional could be the answer, your wife will have a choice, and depending of where you live, you will have different choices, try to find something like a clothing optional swim at a local pool or something of the like, good luck.
I know the feeling. Have the same situation here at home. Have always loved nudity. Not raised that way just he way I am. I have been to beaches and clubs near me but like you wife refuses.
I have found Cypress Cove in Kissimmee FL to be the ideal entry place for a nervous person. It is vehemently wholesome and clothing OPTIONAL. Your significant other isn’t obliged to strip but will probably do so after seeing how non-threatening the experience can be.
I’m a closet nudist. I actually go nude in public a lot, driving, walking through parks. I even got totally nude in quiet (no cameras) corner of a well known big box store once. It’s anazing how no one looks. I live in the upper Midwest. No nudist places here. I wish I knew more nudists!
I’m like You. I do the same.
I want to go to a nude campground just don’t want to go alone.
upper midwest here love being nude i have a small acerage always nude
Hello Robert,
If you live near me I would go with you because I do not want to nudist camp alone
First time I went to a nudist beach when I was just 21 years old, thinking that I would get excited seeing naked girls, But It was like Adam an Eve, so good an natural, An I keep on going when I can. That was 40 years ago. still enjoy the nudist beach, but sadly, it is mostly men without there wife’s.
I love the feeling of being naked, especially with my wife and kids. The kids are 5 and 7. We are often in bed watching movies and enjoy the freedom of naked contact. It is safe and comfortable for everyone. It won’t last forever most likely.
I am an older nudist guy. I sure do miss nudism with my kids. Special times. I was very careful about very close contact. Maybe I should not have been so concerned.i missed out.
Nice family bonding time
hi I’m Alex. father of nude family from small we raised our daughters in this environment. unfortunately there are very few families like that. we would like to know more..
Hi closet nudist. Always nice at home and wherever whenever possible. Would love to know more.
Hi
I’m Martin. I’ve been a nudist for 20 years, beaches and home, love to hear from other people..
Hello I’m jake a younger person wanting to know what being a nudist is like
I just discovered your website because I want to one day experience the naturism group. This reminds me of one thing. I had 10 years in a scout camp and one day on a small beach far from the people the scout leader had allowed us to bathed naked. Imagined the experience with scout friends all aged between 9 and 11 swimming naked. more or less 12 boys. I may be too detailed, but I was the only one out of 12 boys to be circumcised. Many boys asked me the question and I did not know for what answer gave them. These finally a scout leader who educated us on the issue. To return to naturism. I do it at home with my wife and our two boys of 7 and 9 years old. Maybe we will live in a group one day, because the whole family wants to live the experience. 🙂
Sounds like a great time David! Would love to know more.
