Rapid Quiz Question: A way of life when naked people live in harmony with nature. Options: Communism, Capitalism, Naturism, Naturalism.
Answer=”Naturism”
Naturism is a way of life when naked people live in harmony with nature.
John Collier – Lady Godiva (1898)
Lady Godiva was the wife of Leofric, Earl of Mercia. In 1043 Leofric founded and endowed a Benedictine monastery at Coventry. People of Coventry were suffering under her husband’s oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva asked her husband to remit the tolls. Leofric said he would grant her request if she would strip naked and ride through the streets of the town. Lady Godiva took him at his word and, after issuing a proclamation that all persons should stay indoors and shut their windows, she rode through the town, clothed only in her long hair. Just one person in the town, a tailor ever afterwards known as Peeping Tom, disobeyed her proclamation in one of the most famous instances of voyeurism. In the story, Tom bores a hole in his shutters so that he might see Godiva pass, and is struck blind. In the end, Godiva’s husband keeps his word and abolishes the onerous taxes.

NIFTY Constitution, p.3
While many NIFTY members are nudists and naturists, we are neither a nudist nor a naturist group. Membership is open to any person who supports our vision of Canada and a world free of legislated clothing requirements.
(NIFTY Constitution, Paragraph 3)
Rapid Quiz Question: You need attractive body to become a nudist. Correct or incorrect?
Answer=”Incorrect”
Nudists have all kinds of bodies, all sorts of sizes and shapes, all sorts of ages. You can be fat, have a scar, have mastectomy, etc. Nudism is not a beauty contest.
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.
NIFTY Bylaws, p.2
NIFTY membership shall be by donation, with no minimum. Lack of financial means shall never he a barrier to NIFTY membership.
NIFTY History, p.2
NIFTY’s first official meeting was held in 1993, and we began renting Vancouver’s Templeton Park Pool for monthly clothing-optional swims in 1998. Since then, our membership has grown significantly, and several thousand people have been NIFTY members at some point over the years, with about 500 up-to-date members at any given time.
Rapid Quiz Question: Nudists have no sense of privacy. Correct or incorrect?
Answer=”Incorrect”
Although nudists feel comfortable in the nude, some of them are shy of cameras.
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: Nudists have to remain unclothed all the time. Correct or incorrect?
Answer=”Incorrect”
Nudists remain unclothed any time when practical, but tend to dress when the weather becomes bad.
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.

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 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.
